    I'm looking something akin of boy and girl friendship which can be seen closer than lover yet there's no such relationship between them. Like mutual trust between yatori and ikta in alderamin. well for this one I don't mind of it develop into love story... as long it's interesting. Just in case: no xianxia.

    A RRL fiction but try Winter's Tale, pretty good story, love the casual way the relationship is presented (ship them so hard).
    Can't think of anything else off the top of my head

    Not sure of any but your specifications could probably be found in korean culture (movies, dramas, novels? , etc)

    That kinda make me thought of Othinus and Touma from to aru majutsu no index. They start out as enemy but later become the only person who truly understand one another. Othinus only start appearing after almost 30 volume and that happened after 30 something volume into the series though. Othinus also kinda have less role after the arc. Damn, and I ship them so hard.

    Well, can't think of any decent relationship that meet your criteria apart from that.

    Disclaimer: I never read Alderamin, so this is all guesswork based on your post + the synopsis

    I seem to recall Anti Magic Academy having something like this, but it was taken down from Krytyk's site, you may be able to rustle up some epubs or pdfs elsewhere on the internet though. All of the novels on his site tend to have heavy bro-con/sis-con so they might match what you're looking for?

    If you're looking for battle harem novels, you could plow through Arifureta (~100 ch TL), High School DxD (18 volumes?) and Tate no Yuusha (~350 ch, completed).
    If you're looking for a yandere battle harem novel with torture and other oddities, you could try Kuro no Maou (~250 ch). Lots of people hate that one. To Deprive a Deprived Person also falls in this category (~130 ch)
    If you want a food adventure with a battle harem in the background, you could go through Death March (WN) (350+? not sure). Tsuki Ga Michibukai (~95 ch) is also kind of like this, but a lot slower.
    I'd also recommend Log Horizon (7 volumes on Skythewood), but that's a bit of a stretch for what you're asking for.
    If you want a love relationship between a spider and Identify-sama, you could read Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

    Dude.... you cannot be more evil... i knew about that years ago and im glad that i read about something before seen it. One of my friends saw that thing and i dont know if it was courage or stupidity (im sure he is stupid), but after that he was no longer the same... poor dude

    True but already read that.
    I don't intent to watch korean drama or movie, and translated korean novel is too few I think?
    Already read it.
    Nope... their relationship is stupid in different way I want it, so no.
    I feel Douluo Dalu getting boring.
    Cacthing up to that volume is a pain... I stopped before volume 20 I think...
    I think antimagic is close. Perhaps I will hunt it sometimesometime later. Also I read most of it already. Dxd out though...
