After reading on NovelUpdates for 7+ years, this is my ongoing list of novels that were actually worth my time. I will mark which novels are for casual reading or not worth re-reading.... more>>

- No specific genre or plot types. 

- Mix of het, BL, and novels with no romance for the protagonist.

- Some healthy and some not-so-healthy relationships, but this is fiction!

- Some are more plot-heavy with lots of feelings, while others are for casual reading or a break from tragedy. 

- Novels by MXTX and any novels with official English localization not included on the list. <<less

I’ll keep adding to the list as I finished reading more novels ̴♡̴♡̴ (mostly power couples/ enemies to lovers/ morally questionable characters)

Dawum, we're already at part three. I hope they finish translating all their ongoing novels ƪ('ʚ' ƪ). <<less

It's c*m to my attention that I need to separate these beautiful MLs from the rest of the bunch. ... more>>

These sadistic/dom MLs cherish their MC, they closely watch their masochistic partners and adjust the play's difficultly levels or make long plans to ease into new play without harm. Never torture or abuse, they monitor their MC's masochistic limits with the goal of creating a long-term loving future relationship.

These MLs coax and reward their MC after a difficult training session, focuses on play that their MC also enjoys. The kind of ML that slyly introduces new play as a solution to an easily solved problem.----- I need to protect these MLs. More like I need to easily access these gems whenever I want.

Oh, and I hate actual torture (where the protagonist is actually living in hell and enjoys nothing). Sick f*cks. Even if I prefer seeing the MC cry and push their masochistic limits, I DO NOT want to see them resolutely hate it. 

One more thing, I'll only include novels where the ML loves MC and plans to continue a relationship with a HE. So, doting s*x partners without love, in*est family love but without seeking dating, and twisted broken love that ends in tragedy. They all won't be on this list, because those MLs don't deserve the Warm-Loving sad*st ML title.

For the novels not on NU, I left the great scripture in the comment section. <<less

Only putting novels with any of these tags. *w/ personal ratings :)

novels with yandere ml ... more>>

only straight couples in this list, the bl novels are on a separate list.

The ranking is irrevelant and will most likely often add new novels. <<less

Some of these will be intense so do check tags. ... more>>

I rank them based on quality/personal preference as well as relevancy. This means that works with inconsistent/discontinued updates, or works that have been around for a while (wether completed or still consistently updating) are usually ranked lower so that they are further pages in, even if I enjoyed them. 

I will try to indicate what chapter I am at in my reviews if it is a novel that I'm not caught up on/taking a break on. I will also try to indicate the smut/plot balance of the novels and evaluate the smut/plot aspects somewhat separately in case people weigh them differently. <<less

Here on this list you'll find numerous types of novels, ranging from short to extremely long. It can also contain a variety of genres, since I'm just throwing in here what I've read, am reading and enjoyed.... more>>

You may also come across obscenity, yandere, dubious relationships, among countless other things. So, either wait for me to do a review or something along those lines, or click and read the synopsis next to the comments on NU. I do this a lot to decide whether to read it or not.

The ranking order is by when I added the story to the list. It has nothing to do with quality or how much I liked it. So ignore it <<less

list of novels where mc is paired up with the villain instead. 

Novels with female leads who are yandere for the MC... more>>

Haven't read all of them though and I just know there are yandere.

(The ranking is irrevelant) <<less
