No description.

Just bromance, boys love,and Shounen-ai . This is not the place for anti gei people!!! I WILL ALWAYS ADD NEW NOVEL IF I FOUND ANOTHER... more>> ONE,SO DON'T MISS IT!! And check my other lists ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ ) <<less

I'm gonna sort this list from gaeey-est to straight-est/ "brotherhood" level lol (except of course those novels which I haven't read yet, just recommended by many . I will just put them on the bottom, in accordance with their NU ratings) - you may also recommend some below if I ever missed one or anything. This is all for our quest on finding these types of novels anyway lmao.... more>>

.

EDIT: On second thought, I won't put the ships anymore cuz some readers may put off reading it because they're spoiled as to who to focus on or that they're already suggested as to which relationships between 'bros' to invest on so yeaahh~~ Just gonna put some of my thoughts and its synopsis instead.  <<less

Here's a list of novels you might enjoy if you, like me, want to read some good stories that don't force an unnecessary & underdeveloped romance subplot where it isn't needed.... more>>

So these stories will have minimal to no romance, and I despise the harem trope in general. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for good bromance/brotherhood/friendship/found family stories. I also won't add any series to the list that I haven't personally read.

I decided to create this list because I've seen many similar 'no romance' lists on the site from which I've gotten many great recommendations to the point they have now become my go-to sources for new novels.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I'll be trying to organize the list based on how good I personally think the books are, but I'm only really certain about the first 4 being my favorites, the list then gets quite ambiguous, but I personally really like everything on the first page.

In the descriptions, I'll include how many chapters of the series I have read as well as how much romance there has been up until where I've read, as well as additional thoughts/opinions/warnings that I might have about the series.

I'll try to update the list whenever I find another good series to add. If you know of any series you think I'd like based on my list I'm more than open to suggestions! 

UPDATED JAN 1ST: Added 'The Nebula's Civilization' to the list. <<less

*please recommended more like this to me*

Korean Novels about men who have either reincarnated, got a second chance, or transmigrated, woke up in another body, into noble sons, side-characters, villains, or extras. They sometimes have animal companions, and definitely have loyal followers.  <<less

(Mostly) no harem no BL, male lead on fantasy novel setting with his over protective companions.... more>>

***
Some is tagged Yaoi/Shonen Ai. BUT their relationship is mainly bromance, dense MC, super slow romance and barely had any explicit contents. Save read for those who doesn't like BL, like me.

Note: Some with yaoi tag  still ongoing, I'll update if it's bearable to read or not. <<less

A collection for my sadistic side lol—the title of the list basically sums up what's listed. ... more>>

Korean Novels #1 - #25
Chinese Novels #26 - #53
Japanese Novels #54 - #70

* There might be some s*xual tensions towards side characters but mostly it views the improvement of the main characters
* Novels like this just focus on the plot and battle towards mc's main goal and shenanigans but most of the novels here are my male protagonist 'to be read' and I hope you guys find something that suits your tastes <3 so yeah happy reading ^^)/ <<less

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