My personal favorites from Adventure Fantasy genre

Literally what it says on the tin. A list of novels that ate my brain and made me want to re-read.... more>>

BG, BL, and No CP. <<less

Really good reads!... more>>

Things that makes me ship them, or it is so ambigous, or the bromance is u w u.... more>>

Also, wait what? is that shounen ai sub-plot? 

If it is only comradeship without me shipping too much I will tell you.

My favorite are the non romance one, so I will give No Romance + Ship when it isn't, meanwhile I will put Romance if they have romance..  <<less

My all time favorites, absolutely no romance. Listed in order of personal enjoyment. Near the end of the list, it becomes something more like "yeah this was pretty good," but nevertheless, I did enjoy it. ... more>>

Sidenote: I find it hard to read novels where MCs are too brutal/ruthless, so don't expect many recs on those novels. 

Recommendation: I highly recommend Mother of Learning. Originally an english webnovel, so it's not on novel updates (It's on royalroad and fictionpress). No romance, and the time travel/time loop is well done. It's completed at 800k words. The writing has it's flaws, but I personally found it incredibly enjoyable. 

Summary: Zorian, a mage in training, only wanted to finish his education in peace. Now he struggles to find answers as he finds himself repeatedly reliving the same month. 'Groundhog Day' style setup in a fantasy world.

Another english webnovel that's really good is Never Die Twice. Completed. No romance. Villain MC. LitRPG.  <<less

male main characters that don't make you want to cringe,,elite boys

Novels I have enjoyed so far who have male protagonists. (Not ranked in any particular order)... more>>

Some are still ongoing and I will come back to review, others I have not finished, I will put a disclaimer (I'm the kind that saves up chapters and sometimes find it hard to get back in).

I might put in novels whose first few hundred chapters I enjoyed but later dropped. <<less

Get that harem sh*t out of here.... more>>

A BL reader's curated guide (with comments) to exciting non-BL stories with either no M/F romance or very little late romance. And NO idiotic, horndog MCs!!! <<less

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

Surrounded by loyal protective companions? Good stuff. Platonic harem and bonds? Heck yeah. MC smartly planning ahead and sometimes humorously misunderstood?  Dig it. Bromance? YES!... more>>

This is my jam~ ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧

I like stories where the MC is loved and cherished by his people (but not romantically, not into harem).Though I still ship MC with other characters sometimes (〃'▽'〃). 

Some are more of a slice-of-life, with little actions, but more focusing on the deep bonds of the main characters.  I only put series that I've actually read, with my little comments on it, I'm definitely up to recommendations for similar trope.  

Top best three asides, the rest are in no particular order. Enjoy! <<less

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

Not in order
