Novel where the ML and MC got married some forced/arrange some not

The webnovels here are supposed to be: ... more>>

1. Genre- Yaoi

2. Trope- Arranged marriage, marriage of convenience or forced marriage

3. Depiction of healthy relationships. 

4. Transmigration/Rebirth- If the ML/MC was an as**ole in other life then there must be a way serious path to redemption. 

(And maybe this too-) 

5. System- a quirky, misleading system is a must.  <<less

Not all of these are flawed per se… or at least not in a sense. What I mean by ‘flawed’ is the story itself has some messed up concepts or plotlines. Well, then why did I make this list if there stories are ‘flawed’? It’s not to tell people to avoid these stories, rather it’s share my personal views on them and encourage people to try and understand the story from a different aspect. I don’t need people to agree with my views and opinions, I just want to encourage open-mindedness and the concept of differing perspectives. ... more>>

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a sucker for tragedies. However I made this list because I often find that sometimes, the most ‘flawed’ or controversial stories are the most memorable because they tend to offer something different. 

The tags in this list make me wanna cry ;-; 

Like they’re so messed up it breaks away from my personality so much it feels disconcerting.

Not me making this list in the middle of the night with a tub of ice-cream despite being lactose intolerant :// <<less

Japan novel that pique my interest

Our recommendations of BL|Yaoi novels that revolve around arranged or forced relationships and/or marriages. 

Instead of OP CEO or arrogant and domineering ML, these precious MLs need coaxing and feel inferior to the MC (or vice versa in some cases). EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SO PRECIOUS AND DESERVE THE WORLD!! Most of them are insecure and afraid their partner will leave or no longer like them due to their flaws/illness/background/past/etc. There is a lot of pampering, coaxing, understanding, and healing in these beautiful stories. I've tried to put similar setting/vibe stories together so the list is easier to navigate. BG in the first half and BL in the second half :)... more>>

Recently I've seen more recommendation lists on this trope and I'm SOOO HAPPY that these beautiful stories are finally getting some appreciation!! I'll do my best to also find some less popular gems for you all to read >.< Please also comment any stories you would like me to add!

*also, I know I sorta write more for some novels, less for others. It honestly depends on my mood & memory of the novel. So don't feel discouraged about the ones I write less on, they're all well written books :) I also try to only include novels that are 4 stars and above, unless I REALLY think that the story deserves wayyyy more. <<less

My favorite male yandere stories

Different from reborn/rebirth stories where the female/male leads go back to their own past, transmigration happens when the female/male leads took over other people's body,... more>> even if still in their own world or in novel's world.  <<less
