2. Transmigrated into a novel/video games/whatever

3. As a character that has an enmity of some kind to the 'main character' <<less

A few hidden gems ... others not so much but all of them totally worth the read. List spans quite a few genre such as Fantasy, sci-fi, cultivation, management, mystery.... more>>

Not all novels in the list will have top ratings. In my opinion the best novels are rated around 3.2 - 4.5. Anything over is mostly BL or FL with some exceptions. Anything below is mostly tr*sh with minor exceptions of novels for people with very specific taste. 

PS: All my recommendations are based on MTL. I rarely read human translated versions ..  <<less

Novels that fall under the category/theme that shows the 'Dark' side of humanity and the Main Character must also be on [~Neutral to Evil Faction~]... more>>

Since this is gonna be a collection of known novels that I obviously not read yet... I will 'automatically' rank them based on their current 'Star Ratings' [Of course feel free to debate which should be higher on the list and which should not, As we all know... ratings can sometimes can't be trusted]

Novels with no description means only one thing of these two; either I have not read that Novel in question or I have no time to add one <<less

Based on my personal scale of yandere intensity.... more>>

NOTE: THE RATING IS NOT A RATING OF THE NOVEL, ONLY THE INTENSITY OF THE YANDERE. 

This list includes all the books I think are solid 7+/10 and very intense male yanderes. BL included. Most novels are completed. Spoilers beware! 

The Scale:

1: All bark no bite

7: Glaring red flags, but red is my favourite colour. 

9: Perfect intensity. The most intense just below abusive imo. 

10: My friend, if you don't get out of there, imma call 911 to drag you out of there. Somebody get a restraining order pls im begging.

Please note: These are intense yanderes, there will be toxic and abusive relationships. Please read the tags for TWs. <<less

There will also master-follower relationship or master-disciple relationship being recovered or building up between them…

And some overstate themselves even though they are OP or haven’t released their power-

There are no romance nor harem but there might be people around them having favorable impressions on them or bad reputation trying to be fixed or just leaving it…

I will try to put on novels that I’m sure there isn’t any romance nor harem and have already read them so to be double sure and some are recommended to me and had told me there isn’t :>

Any that are involve with the tag romance is explained in the bottom ^^*

Loving family for the beginning, knowing, and get transmigrated in a novel or another world ✌️

MC - Main Character
OP - Over Powered
OG FL - Original Female Lead
FL - Female Lead
OG ML - Original Male Lead
ML - Male Lead
BL - Boy’s Love

My favorite list ( with no dense, naive, and simp MCs)... more>>

Mostly reincarnation, transmigration,world building,Ero-Hent*i,Villain MC,Romance,Fat to fit, Fluffy story aside from ero and there was a mature content (No Netorare)  <<less

This is my list of novels where in that particular world, there are Gers, men who can give birth and have a mark in the middle of their forehead/ in between their brows (in some settings the mark of ger is located either on wrist or on the arm and sometimes it is shaped like a flower). It's somehow the same with Omegaverse BUT without the pheromones and all, so no ABO. These mostly contains novels in ancient times and gers may be referred as 'bio', 'moye', or other names.... more>>

MC could be the gong or the ger one. They could be farming, doing business, cultivating, royalty, and many other things. Again, this is not omegaverse. There's no QT in here too (since I'm not really a fan of it hehe) - although there might be transmigration/reincarnation/regression or something, or maybe nothing at all.

PS: If you know some novels with gers that isn't here or found that some novels in the list isn't supposed to be there, feel free to comment so I could update it asap :>> <<less

The Best and most Entertaining CN Novels.... more>>

The kind of novels I HATE  :

1. No Romance

2. Slow paced plot

3. Lots of unwanted useless info which ruins reading experience.

4. Bland plot (Novels which fail to stir any emotion. Which feels like reading textbooks instead of Novels. Lol)

5. Lack of character interactions and a lot of forgotten characters.

6. I mostly hate Game settings (except one novel)

So these wont be there in my list

Above 40 will be extras which don't fit in the list <<less

mostly good fluffy, straight romance. the genre ranges from action, adventure, comedy etc., I hate harem and Love triangles.... more>>

I will add on novels when I come across some.

please note that this is mainly focused on romance and without love triangles, love rivals. There are plenty of good novels without romance tropes. They are not included here.

P.S.... Do comment if you have any similar novels to share.

These are the novels I have personally read. I can assure you that the completed one didn't have those tropes I hate. Now, for the incomplete ones they are highly unlikely to have those tropes. <<less

Here's the list of a horror novels :)... more>>

PS: Anyone can also recommend me a horror novel too. I'm fine with romance but harem is a big no for me. Thank you in advance! <<less
