Some need to be in a jail-room, others need to be in a therapy room, and the MC needs to be in a courtroom to get a restraining order against them... Unless he's into it, in which case, who am I to complain? ... more>>

Edit: Woa, I never expected that many users to like obsessive MLs, feels great to see those with the same 'guilty pleasures' as mine (I don't feel guilty though, not because my taste is good but because I lack shame). We're out here bonding over unhinged guys lmao. Also, what's your ideal obsessive ML? I'm quite curious, so feel free to comment it below. 

Personally, I prefer MLs who are usually ruthless and somewhat cruel to everyone but the MC, whom they treat with utmost love, care and respect, of course they're still 'toxic' in a way they wouldn't leave the MC alone or ever separate from him, but to make him stay, they'd rather pamper him to the hell and back than use torture or abuse. A big plus if they're paired with sly and morally grey MCs.

Edit 2: if you see random words censored, it ain't me. NU just recently started doing that out of nowhere :/ <<less

If you want to look for books with romance theme and has been fully translated then these will be good starting list.... more>>

All of the, definitely have Happy Endings! I can’t bear to read the whole book just to be tortured with a sad ending...so I will for certain not recommend anything that is not remotely anywhere near a HE.

These are novels that I have read and enjoyed. There are not presented in any particular order <<less

NOTE: Some comments do not reflect the complete novel. I will try to update them as I read.... more>>

List of BL novels with an obsessive/possessive/yandere male lead that I enjoyed.
Sorted roughly from most obsessive to least obsessive (I used to have a bias for QT novels, though). Favorite to least favorite where I couldn't decide. Numbers 60~75 are mostly just there to fill the lower ranks, and numbers 76~91 are novels that need more updates or that I'm planning to read. <<less

hhh so difficult to find good ones QAQ... more>>

《 BL》Looking for a list on ml's pursuing the mc?... more>>

Based on all types of ML's that I am just quite fond of :)

Randomly ordered  <<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

our mc chasing the ML! GO gurl. chase  what u want.

Exactly as the name says; this is a collection of shamelessly terrible main cast characters. Mentions of what tr*sh can be found within in the descriptions.... more>>

(Please note that the use of language such as “tr*sh”, “scum” and “slag” are meant in a positive way, unless otherwise stated.) <<less

Diabetes-causing novels, mostly short modern stories without much snu snu and angst... more>>

Finished raws, some still in translations

Extra tag: shameless ML <<less

Includes persistent and shameless pursuers who are bold enough to chase and passionately show affection to their loved ones.... more>>

- tons of passion: bold flirting, teasing, seducing, shamelessness, boldly standing up for each other, s*xual tension, bold straightforwardness, hot action, and dog food, wife/husband-chasing <<less

Welcome one, welcome all! We got yanderes galore over here - possessive ones, obsessive ones, clingy ones, two-faced ones, (blood)thirsty ones, and even the bat-sh*t crazy psychos. Do you like 'em spicy or sweet? Tell ya what, I'll even throw in a tragic backstory and a sprinkle of angst, just for you. *wink**wink*... more>>

Like what you see, you can take them home! But be careful, they're very hard to tame~

[Strict no returns, refunds, or exchanges policy. All sales are final. Waiver required. We are not liable for any injury, death, confinement, or torture resulting from the adoption of your yandere.] <<less

Both BG and BL stories. May or may not contain smut. ... more>>

Quality depends on my preference. I don't finish novels I don't like so if it's cringey, I would drop it. So the fact that I finished it means it was good and/or tolerable.

The target audience for this is (straight) women. So the protagonist is either a woman in a BG novel or a man in a yaoi story. So more like a reverse harem. 

Though as a disclaimer, some of these don't have a harem end, meaning, they didn't end up with the harem or they only chose one or they chose none. I also included those that are not technically "harem" because they are basically several souls but 1 ML.   <<less

Well-written, quality stories with strong FLs and likeable MLs. Each story has an unique plot & are gems of the genre.

in which the MC tries to break up with their SO... more>>

(these stories will have the MC date the other character in some capacity)

ALSO i’ll add some tldr description which may contain spoilers so....

ALSO ALSO I'll only add comments for the stuff I've actually read. take the ones without the comments with a pinch of salt regarding the veracity of the contents in relation to the title of the list <<less

FLs that somehow awaken in a "s*upid novel" they once read. ... more>>

More on the comical and interesting side than the realistic one (besides being transported in a book world, duh). The writing is not really deep and serious, also the books have a similar writing, or feeling.

Light read 

Not all the tags are in the same novel

I haven't read all of them

Gladly accepting suggestions <<less

Relationships that focus heavily on couple bickering, going from enemies to loves, and overall have a lot of s*xual chemistry even if it takes a... more>> while to act on it for some. There will be stories where ML forces himself on MC or coerce her into stuff. Even if they get together later and the ML is kinder there is usually some type of pain to reach happiness. Not for ppl who want only fluff. <<less

Includes: Quick transmigration, (un quick?) transmigration, systems, etc etc... If it fits, I’ll also include rebirth novels.... more>>

Basically, anything to do with multiple worlds, or another world after death. 

I categorize by whichever list fits best, meaning I have a good amount of novels shoved into other lists even if they have aspects of rebirth/reincarnation/world hopping/etc. So, the ones you see here tend to include a lot of genres and can’t be put in a single list comfortably.

Themes from pretty much everywhere are in here, so check the tags to see what you’re getting into. Most of these novels have repeating/recurring themes, but that’s pretty standard for the QT genre. 

JUST TO CLARIFY: I’m not counting game worlds or survival worlds- you can find those in the Horror edition of you’d like. 

A lot of these novels are fairly well-known, but they hold a special place in my heart (and many others) so I can’t just not put them here. Hehe.  <<less

Some MLs are just adorable and pure; a few are lazy and unruly; there are also MLs with insecurity, disabilities and low self esteem-  Thus, perfect & imperfect.... more>>

All in all they are different type of MLs from different novels who deserved some recognizition and I wish I can take them home (">~<") <<less

Stories with an obsessive or yandere ML that shows us his POV or vividly depicts his feelings 
Probably BG atm, includes smut. Disclaimer that these might have toxic relationships or disturbing content.  ... more>>

(List in progress)

The Intensity rating is a partly how extreme the ML's feeling are, but also how much the reader feels his emotions while reading.  <<less

Not for the Weak. The Male Lead will be Bossy, Hot, and uncontrollable. The Uke must accept all the love given.  XD

Will update the description as I go along. Ratings 4.0 and above

classic shou who loves the scum gong, gets tired of the abuse so he gives up and only then does the gong realize. cue the groveling!... more>>

all happy ending with the shou and gong ending up together because i’m too weak for BE stories.

In the name, the MC/ML is going to drop a scum for the better (looking, OG, nicer, more powerful,) model. Everyone should upgrade when they can. Who will settle for second best when these better Love Interests are available and ready to mingle.... more>>
