    Can anyone recommend novels with :
    1. male protagonist
    2. focus on family relationship (be it by choice or biological) or team friendship
    3. for the love of all that is holy NO HAREM please and thank you
    4. no romance is even better
    5. morally grey OP protag is ok, just... not a dick as protag, please?
    I have no problem with BL/shonen ai.
    It doesn't necessarily have to be an epic world building- something relaxing is also great.

    The best one I found so far is TCF (Trash of the Count's Family) ((if you haven't read it, try- it's so good)).

    I hope this makes sense... I'm just dying for some good novels to swallow because quarantine akhdhjaksh
    Thank you so much for the help, guys!

    thats so specific you might need to write the novels yourself
    otherwhise
    might "Only Sense Online" somewhere between a 50-75% hit to your request

    Otherworldly Evil Monarch - filial with grandfather and uncle.

    Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - filial to parents, but they went to the wayside after he went to the sect. After some hard knocks, he's all about sworn brotherhood with those that stand with him. MC does collect a harem, but his interactions with them are mostly for comedy relief.

    Silver Overlord - filial with father. Many of his actions are with is father in mind, even during the arcs where he's away from home.

    Swallowed Star- I guess, even though later in the story, he only sees them every few hundreds or thousands years.

    Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~ - MC and the kids. Boring as hell.

    World Teacher – Other World Style Education & Agent (WN) - MC and the kids (same age group). Romantic involvement with one of the kids later.

    I've searched for this kind of novel everywhere from high to low from north to south to north again and failed miserably because no novels can match my taste as much as TCF
    So...*pats shoulder* buddy sorry to inform you, this thread is not gonna work. But perhaps you can try my list

    Oh btw i just finished reading this novel and its sequel, it's not exactly similar to TCF but the setting is western fantasy + slice of life fluffy heartwarming with so many beast, and the friendship between mc and side charas is very good so maybe you'll like it.

    If you haven't already heard of them, I know the novels Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and The S-Ranks that I Raised share overlapping Korean fandoms with TCF. Although they're all different genres they all have morally gray MCs that gather a found family and no/almost no romance. And Omniscient Reader recently got a webtoon adaptation!
