No description.

Novels that have no lasting romance or love interests. There will be no smut, harem (if MC attracts some people, I don't mind until it becomes a major part of the story or MC becomes interested in them), or ecchi, and BL/GL also count as romance. The list includes a personal rating and (often rambling) review/description.... more>>

Of course, it's also about my tastes, so this list will be mostly fantasy and action novels (op mc will be a common feature). I am a wordy person so I also don’t mind wordier books, too... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The list is in no particular order, but novels with <100 chapters and on hiatus/slow updating (less/around as often as 1 chap/month) will go in the back, starting at #33. This is because I assume people are looking for binge reads like me.

DISCLAIMER: The list is subject to change and revision - my impression changes as I think about them/read more. I cannot guarantee a novel has no romance later. I'll try to update this rec list as I read. No promises though, so my descriptions may be outdated.

Stories with a close friendship/relationship between two male characters that is not romantic in nature.

Novels to keep track of.

- I avoided harem, ecchi. If its has good story, I'll reconsider.... more>>

- I eat anything no romance, straight, BL, GL. As long as it is good story why not? I ship anyone as long it is cute!

- The MC is I think funny, decent, or good. The side character is not too flat. I avoided pe*vert protag, aiming for harem is a big no, especially slaving someone for pe*vert desire is a no go.

- Story is good, I prefer slow paced, or while MC is gone world still continuing not revolving MC.

- I prefer slow paced romance or romance as sub-plot, or no romance at all, If its twisted but interesting I will add it. If its healthy relationship I will add it too. Yandere or Possesive character is good if its been used well?

- I will give short description each novel (beware of spoiler), and what I think about it.

*Contain broken english explanation

*Not in order, I like everything, so everything is 'number 1' /laughs

*Note: I might dropped in the middle / stalling the novel, but I put it in here because I like the premise after all, please read the review to know which I dropped and why. I will put dropped tag + make in lower.

*Note: I dislike when it is all serious and tense suddenly romance pop up. I wont dislike if the novel stated it, or the entry is natural, but forced suddenly out of nowhere I dislike it. It is like a pinapple pizza, when you are expecting pizza but suddenly there is a pinapple on it. You like pinapple, but not at your pizza. <<less
