Here a list that i found just after yours, i didn't check so i don't know about the novels, but maybe you'll like some
Thx for your list (and your comments !! Very usefull
)
Hello~
I really like your list, and it's really similar to mine (the one that brother/sister upstairs recommend u to check). I just hope there are more "no romance/harem/ecchi non-bl" novels on this site *sigh* recently it's so hard to find this kind of novel, i even searched on chinese qidian, syosetu, etc. *sigh again*
But bcs you're a person of culture i will recommend you this novel "Start with contracting sprites" that you can check on Webnovel (but it's on hiatus so u can just check the raw 從契約精靈開始). It's like pokemon but better hahahaha, hope u like it~
@ria.green what happened to second male lead if power up korean novel.
https://www.novelupdates.info/series/what-happens-when-the-second-male-lead-powers-up/
Wooaahhh~ I love your list so much because it had helped me find a ton of things that I'm interested in reading, and as fellow fujoshi/fudanshi's I've always been looking for a list made by someone who loves BL.
Ever since I was introduced to the world of yaoi, I fell so hard that I ended up dreading most romance novels and mangas, leaving me with nothing to read, now that I've found this list, I can stack up on a bunch of great and promising novels~
[Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint] is a novel I've been wanting to read for the longest time because it's author is the same on as [The World After The Fall], but knowing the writer's style, it's going to have a very angsty and tear jerking ending, even though the male leads are such a perfect match for each other!
By the way, have you tried [Gourmet of Another World]? There's no romance, but the MC is quite shippable with some male characters, that is, if you have a very big imagination~
Sorry for making you read all this
and thank you for creating this list~! 
A nice guide, completely approved by yours truly
I'm sure that if we were to search a bit more we could find more of this kind of novels. I hope so at least
Thanks, now I have a couple more novels in my "waiting for enough time" list
