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

These are separated from all my BL babies. I love these just as much as my BL babies, hence this will be named as my non BL Treasures~ Enjoy!... more>>

The ones that do not have a "Romance" tag generally don't have any romance whatsoever.

And yes, some of these like to queerbait/fujobait the readers. <<less

A list of novels that I've read or am keeping up with. The list is mostly compromised of novels that contain any sort of future knowledge, as I like smart mcs that use that knowledge to their advantage. I try to find novels with no romance and no harem as they usually either make the protagonists make dumb decisions or make fill the plot with blander plots (in my opinion). The list is mostly filled with Korean novels as I find that Japanese and Chinese novels make the mcs too strong too fast. Some Korean ones do that too but it usually has a more unique storyline, such as "The main character hides his strength"... more>> (yes the title does suck though).There's also a small splash of GL and BL.

Rankings constantly changing~ <<less

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 No promises though, so my descriptions may be outdated.
