Stuff I really liked, and would support. Depending on that month's budget.... more>>

Not in any particular order. All Japanese, because I haven't yet looked into Chinese or Korean stuff. One foreign culture at a time.  Many genres, ranging from profound to banal, from cute and fluffy to full-on chuuni.

List created in May 2024, probably won't bother to remove titles if and when they're licensed. Also, not comprehensive or definitive. <<less

MC is not married, does not have a partner, but for some reason, MC becomes a mother whether as a foster mother, adoptive mother, or... more>> biological mother who is related by blood. Of course, MC is a pure girl. <<less

No description.

Those are all the novels I can remember I read, this list is solely for archiving purposes so that I can look back on books I read or dropped or am planning to read so that I can remember them and re-read them if I suddenly want to.... more>>

In there are lots of different things, you got generic isekais I first read when I was just starting out with novels, then villainess/otome game novels since I started liking the concept, and since I love female protags. You have oneshots and lots of yuris and some genderbending stories in there since I'm also into that.

What you won't find in here is any BL/yaoi stories, anything with a harem (except for some since I started with isekais), nor tragedy or hard psychological things, I hate those.

Though I got way more than that, since the limit for lists is 100 novels, I'm gonna stop at that

Not privated since I don't see the purpose and maybe you may find a hidden treasure within that list <<less

No romance, no harem, no marriage, MC just wants to live with his/ her family and his/ her friends

May change over time, depending on ending and how the plot develops later on in the story.

The following is a list of the top Japanese gender bender fantasy novels without romance and harem that I have ever read.  Novels with the gender bender genre give a sense of how a man was changed into a girl for certain reasons.  ... more>>

Generally, novels with gender bender will fall into gender identity deviations so that they often fall into deviant genres such as yuri and yaoi.  

However, if the author is sane enough to present plot stories, gender bender novels can be interesting novels because these present the point of view of a man in a girl's body in living his life story without having to be trapped in romance and harem. 

 Therefore, novels with gender bender genre must create conditions in which the MC does not want to be trapped in the deviation of gender identity by engaging in romantic relationships that end in deviation.  

In other words, the MC must be single for life and focus on her life goals. <<less

Stuff I read and liked enough to put here
Sorted, albeit roughly... more>>

to sort by last updated put in console:let novels = (await Promise.all([...new Array( +[...document.getElementsByClassName("digg_pagination")[0].children].filter(x=>x.className != "previous_page" && x.className != "next_page").at(-1).innerText ).keys()].map(async (n)=> {return [...new DOMParser().parseFromString(await (await fetch(document.location.origin + document.location.pathname + `?pg=${1+n}`)).text(), "text/html").getElementsByClassName("aj_reload")[0].childNodes].filter(x=>x.classList[0] == "search_main_box_nu")}))).reduce((p,n)=>[...p, ...n],[]).sort((a,b)=>new Date(b.children[1].children[1].children[4].innerText)-new Date(a.children[1].children[1].children[4].innerText));document.getElementsByClassName("aj_reload")[0].replaceChildren(...novels);novels.forEach(async n => {let dom = new DOMParser().parseFromString(await (await fetch(n.children[1].children[0].children[2].href)).text(), "text/html");let bad = [...dom.getElementsByTagName("style")].find(x=> x.innerText.match(/.chp-release./)).innerText.match(/chp-release.rand\d+/)[0].replace(".", " ");let god = document.createElement("a");god.href = [...dom.getElementById("myTable").children[1].children[0].children[2].children].find(x=>x.className != bad).href;god.append(n.children[0]);n.prepend(god);}); <<less

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

Mainly reincarnation. I like transmigration.I hate Stallion(Harem) novels. I don’t care if something is Bl/GL/BG, good is good dammit. ... more>>

(Also I actually don’t know how to use the private current read list  so this is like my “I’m reading” list too..) <<less

Still taking that damned break... though I've been reading more now. Isekai that are good are very rare... more>> to find, and I've really gotten tired of the same skyrim over and over again. If you found anything you like from this list, then it's served its job. <<less

Isekai is tr*sh, but so am I.  Who am I to judge? We got Yaoi, Yuri, ecchi, and lots of cringe so we don't discriminate... more>> as long as the story is decent. <<less

No BL/GL. No Crossdressing.
