I Don't Read Harem Novels or Pure Romance, So What Can I Read?

Books: 8

Updated: 4y ago

As someone whose tastes fall somewhere between male- and female-oriented fiction, I've had a hard time finding good stories, but here are a few. They have little to no romance and focus on plot. They're not over-the-top or pandering, just imaginative stories told well.

I've always liked reading a few pages of an easygoing book when I'm tired. Nothing too dramatic or heartbreaking, and preferably far removed from the real world, so I can experience life in a different one. A storyteller tells us a story. When it's over, we might feel happy, sad, quiet, reflective, or excited. Once life is told, it becomes a story.

Long Completed Novels, Your Cure for a Reading Slump

We all know how hard it is these days to follow a book all the way to the end. A lot of people would rather wait until a novel is complete before reading it. My other list, “Seedling Maniac,” has more ongoing novels. This one is for completed older books that overflow from that list, as a companion list. The quality bar is: mainstream genres must be at least solid, while niche genres must at least be decent. Self-recommendations are welcome.
