Try these novels, they're great. 

in mythical land fill with mage crafts. what life do they lead?

The isekai here is pointed to another world, but not only to the usual Jpn isekai with reincarnation/rebirth/transmigrate MC. It can be the world that's totally not in the earth, and maybe it's not a reincarnation/transmigration and MC is from that world. ... more>>

My ideal isekai novel is the one with the world building as its central theme and the romance is non existent, even if there's romance element in it, usually it's slow and just as unnecessary side dish.

NO HAREM for me. Tho few of them has harem and romance tags, for me there are those that are not romance and harem, so I'll explain in related description instead.

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 following are Japanese fantasy novels with loli MC.  The plot of the story generally focuses on adventure, comedy, and SoL. The plot of the story... more>> may contain romance as subplots or genres although I try to avoid them as much as possible.  Don't forget I will avoid the red genres as much as possible so that it is friendly to read to everyone.  The plot of the story may contain gender bender and shoujo-ai.  But I make sure the novel doesn't fall into one of the red genres, namely yuri. And here are the novel recommendations: <<less

My favorite sub genre. Here are all the books I found with a female protagonist and no romance randomly ordered. 

Welcome to my holy relics,mortal.

I will add short descriptions to each novel in the next weeks. Most stuff is fantasy and also isekai type but there are also stories that are just fantasy without isekai and rare fantasy in our current world. I didn't include chinese novels as there is no filter options for the lists so I will make a new list in the future for it. Titles are not sorted by best to worst, maybe in the future.... more>>

Below I will post original web novels that can be found on Royal Road, Scribble Hub, Webnovel, and similar website (often released on more than one of those websites) that I enjoy reading (due to description limit I put titles on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/raw/iwcFrFcZ <<less
