Recommendations Anything!! except smut, yaoi and harem (I'm so done with these genre that I wanna puke, tbh)

Hi! Newbie here.. uhmm, I'm so done reading bl novels lately (that smutty scenes make me sick), so I'm desperately looking for a straight gxb main characters or a solo character perhaps, anything except those I mention above. I need calm, soul cleansing novel with light romance or no romance at all. I just have to get rotten thought (yaoi to be specific┐( ˘_˘)┌) out of my system..huhu it's very urgent

 

1. QT cannon fodders record of counter attacks
2. Crossing to the future it is not easy to be a man
3. Cheating men must die
4. Goddess creation system
5. Solo levelling
6. Those Years We Killed the White Lotus
7. Counterattack Plan of a Villain with Ten Thousand Fans

 

Obligatory lord of the myteries recommendation

Then, perhaps Cultivation Chat Group(no romance so far but there's already love interest who try to get close to MC

My senior brother is too steady, little romance so far because MC afraid of the karma involve, but there's steady attack from the love interest side so MC would fall in love, little warning, the translation quality flactuate quiet a lot, sometimes it's so good you find little to no grammar mistake, other time even the pronoun being use is wrong..

 

Completely devoid of romance? Sounds like you need a shounen cleanse. Also sounds like you don't find good BL (boyslove), so much smut that it drives you away? Lol. (And I understand when the angst that drives it is bad, plus the dubious consent thrown left and right in practically every novel. I suggest checking out the tags and the reviews before picking something up.)
Anyways I suggest "Trash of the Counts Family" , the original site was taken down but it was uploaded onto another site. It's very fluffy in terms of, no romance but the found family trope is very sweet.
I also recommended "Crossing to the future it is not easy to be a man" as a poster above. Female lead is gender bent and is OP, devoid of romance.
And if you want to invest into the production-type novels with plenty of comedy.
"Gourmet of Another World". Male ML. Very funny. OP but isn't boring.
"The Legendary Mechanic". Male ML. More on the OP protagonist side, but he's extremely money-oriented so he isn't getting a lady any time soon. Also a found family.
"Library of Heaven's Path". Male ML. Hetero. Funny.

 

All no-romance, focuses on friendship/family support throughout plot instead:
Legend of Sun Knight (absolute classic)
Dominion's End
The Yu Brothers' Case Book
Chen Yue Zhi Yao
Unique Legend
Fu Xing Dong Lai
Residence of Monsters

Though, what kind of BL have you been reading...? Most Chinese BL don't have any smut because it's banned by the government, though I guess Japanese BL have complete free reign...lol.

 

I've compiled a huge list of what I think are awesome reads...

I've read the first part of TOCF but I stopped coz' it's not completed yet.. I'm afraid of getting cliffhanged coz' sometimes when I get so caught up with an uncompleted novel that I get insomnia for a whole week straight XD but true story..

 

I've read lots of BL novels and mangas... I can't remember most of them but I've already read top reccomended Chinese BL novels, Quickly wear the Face Of the Devil is the very first BL I've read.. it opened my eyes to the world of rotten thoughts (￣ヘ￣

 

hmmm maybe...

• It’s Hard To Be A Bad Cat - the story revolves around our MC that is a literal cat, not a cat that can turn human and vice versa but a legit cat. it's kinda adorable to read
  
• Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang - innocent ginseng spirit transmigrates into a human and becomes the purest wife who loves her snacks
• I Give Half of My Life to You - wholesome kid!MC
• My Time as a Cat in College - this time it's a cat MC who can turn into human, yes
• My Son is a Reborn Villain - kinda wholesome? haven't read it in a while
• Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf - might be dogbloody since it involves the imperial harem

Seeing that you have recommended quiet a few cats, I'm going to also recommend one.
The Fourteen Years I Spent as a Cat - Short story with 10 chapters, it's about a cat which is a cat and remains as a cat.

 

there's a lot of bl without smut though? literally all my favorites have absolutely no smut at all. idk if you want recs though, but like someone else said Legend of the Sun Knight. I'm Really Not the Demon King's Lackey is new but SO GOOD really cute and funny
