I read novels to be entertained; not to undergo cerebral atrophy.... more>>

It has been mathematically proven by the laws of rocket science and quantum information theory that isekai stunts brain development. If you suspect that either you or a loved one unironically likes isekai, IMMEDIATELY seek medical attention.  <<less

This is my personal fav with Overpowered MC.

These are recommendations of Japanese novels with misunderstanding MC that make you lol. 

If you don't like romance and harem novels, then this list might help you find good novels.  This list of Japanese novels is generally of the SOL, fantasy, and adventure genres with the theme of family and friendship.  ... more>>

For example, the adventures of a father and his daughter in a fantasy world.  Or it could be SOL's story that warms the heart.  

Apart from avoiding the harem and romance genres, I also try to avoid red genres as much as possible (genres are forbidden or should not be read by children or under 15 years old) such as adult, mature, ecchi, and gore. But it could be that in the story there is some content as subplots even though it is not the focus of the story. I mean, I'm also disturbed or uncomfortable with the existence of the red genres or similar contents, even though sometimes the contents are a little needed for plot story development.

The following are recommendations for Japanese novels without romance and harem but focusing on stories of family and friendship in a fantasy world. I hope that you all enjoy reading these novels! <<less

The Misunderstandings tag is very varied and wide so this is gonna be more about the MC's personality and circumstances (e.g. sickly characters, evil but actually good) . The stories in this are gonna be more focused on the situation unless stated otherwise. Also most of this is other people misunderstanding the MC instead of the other way around.... more>>

Just wanted to make this since a lot of this tag is about the MC being seen as very weak while actually being extremely strong or vice versa and I usually don't like those kind of misunderstandings. <<less

Generally avoiding novels that focus on male-female romance right now. <<less

It's an eclectic mix of novels that I've read over the years. A little bit of everything, so quality is not guaranteed.

Caution: bear the risk of having your taste being too sky-high standard.

Clearing out my reading list

I've been going on a journey from A to Z due to lack of novels for me to read, as it felt like I read everything. Like I read way too much on this site... I just hit 650 reviews... though most of them were just a few words / sentences... I decided to finally make a reading list of what I think the best novels on this site are for male readers. Some stories were worse off in quality, but they were interesting enough to keep me reading.... more>>

I USUALLY ignore 4 types of novels

1. Romance focused

2. Historical focused

3. Female Leads

4. Dropped novels

Now, before u get mad, I only included ones that I CONTINUED liking. Because many times, the story quality ends up dropping the farther along the story is. I read a lot, so I'm very picky. Like when I first came to this site, I literally loved isekai, vrmmo, cultivation novels so much because everything was new... but now... there are comparisons... Another possible reason your novel isn't here, is that the novel is just new, and I have not read it yet as it was released after I went past that point alphabetically.

Please note the list will change in the future. I only read up the translation at the time of reading, so some of these books may be removed due to later chapters ruining the story.

Although I have read and liked a few FL Romance focused novels, I will not be including them to this list to be non biased, as I have not read enough of those to be picky about them. <<less

Main characters are gods, mistaken as gods or journey to becoming gods. By gods, they can either be good or evil(devil entities).

As an introverted person with social anxiety its hard for me to recommend things however when I do recommend novels to friends I usually recommend... more>> these <<less

When I get tired of a novel I am reading (mainly because the of the plot not going well) I quit. These novels are the ones I never got tired of reading at all. That's how interesting they are for me. I even re-read some of these. ... more>>

I also included some novels that I just started reading, but I may remove them if I don't like how the story is going. Hehe

P.S. The tags are not applicable to all of the series.  <<less
