The isekai here is pointed to another world, but not only to the usual Jpn isekai with reincarnation/rebirth/transmigrate MC. It can be the world that's totally not in the earth, and maybe it's not a reincarnation/transmigration and MC is from that world. ... more>>

My ideal isekai novel is the one with the world building as its central theme and the romance is non existent, even if there's romance element in it, usually it's slow and just as unnecessary side dish.

NO HAREM for me. Tho few of them has harem and romance tags, for me there are those that are not romance and harem, so I'll explain in related description instead.

Loving family for the beginning, knowing, and get transmigrated in a novel or another world ✌️

I avoid 95% of tragedy drama stories, I love weird, cute, funny, fantasy stories with over 50% having some form of romance, though there's one... more>> or two anti hero stories like "the death mage doesn't want a fourth time" <<less

Ever get tired of novels where the MC is always running around beating up bad guys? If you sometimes just want a relaxing read where fighting isn't the focus of the novel, then this list is for you!... more>>

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

My personal list of Japanese slow-life novel.

Good world building isekai with minimal harems. Mix of shoujo/shounen and seinen/josei. Some might have mild background harem, but trying to keep that at a... more>> minimum. <<less

Novels that managed to hold my interest, in no particular order.

My favourite novels that I particularly enjoyed

Read it! Recommended

These are the best recommendations of novels about life of the wholesome family in the fantasy world

Do as the Romans do. A modern protagonist who is reincarnated/brought into a fantasy world and just adapts to it. Some may have more ambitions than others but overall they are just happy/accepting with their new sword magic lifestyle.... more>>

Slice of life Fantasy stories that are more about Chilling than big hero quest <<less

Some of the novels I have read and liked.... more>>

Only like the top 15 are in order the rest are in random order. <<less

Well, since I am a girl who enjoy action genre manga and novel, and very recently quite enjoying isekai type story building. I admit that it's quite hassle to look for new decent series without the overload 'harem fan service'.. ... more>>

A personal recommendation list that I've made to recommend to my friends. This list covers a lot of genres and some might not be your... more>> cup of tea. I avoid novels that has/have netorare or cheating or a love triangle. I'm also a sucker for novels with game elements, isekai (depends on the novel), magic, kingdom building and yandere(female) novels. I'm a person that experiences mood swings time to time which changes the preference of the novel I like to read. Enjoy browsing this list and I hope you find a novel that you will like to read. <<less
