Are there any novels out there online and available for free and meet the above criteria? There's a korean drama called The Guest and it's tagged horror but the friendships and platonic bonds is just good not that it's fhe main focus of the story. It'd be good if there's such a mix of the above as I've tried searching but couldn't find any.
Would you count Mo Dao Zu Shi or Heaven Official's Blessing as horror? Spoiler Watching the anime made me scream in terror enough I think the censorship would make the sense of bromance really strong (rather than explicit heavy BL) in the anime/live actions but I heard the novels were kinda explicit... the uncensored version
Kinda very explicit, TCGF is not as much as MDZS. I guess it would also count as horror? Maybe MDZS would be more horror...idk
These are all platonic/friendship. Listed in order of number of chapters currently translated: Yu Brothers’ Case Book Illusions, Lies, Truth The Real Awakening
Bromance? I used to love those.. But nowdays novels start with bromance then leans to yaoi. But anyway try Trash of the Count's Family
Kaleidoscope of Death. Nothing screams bromance louder than romance! Jokes aside, I think Daomu Biji sort of fits?
