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

I’ll try to add descriptions for the ones I have read when I can!

I also like Formless, Wax Doll Explosion Academy, and Guide is Fixing His Regrets. Both of these are (being) translated and if you want I’ll give you the links to them.

I wish I could read 저주받은 공들의 전담 가이드가 되었다 and 트리거 세이프티 tho <<less

Welcome to the dark side~ (Chinese version)

Are you a sucker for yanderes? Then here it is, a vitamin for yanderes! Drink a dozen once a day and you'll get addicted just like me! ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯... more>>

I got addicted to them last year. The reason's I always feel mesmerized by their myriad of emotions that they feel towards FL, especially their despair and misery. 

And I don't read Harem, I only simp loyal men here.

* Not in order 

* Also, pls keep in mind that some have smut and forced s*x/r*pe <<less

With their abnormal flaws and huge red flags, they’re not for everyone, but they’re perfect for each other. Involves intense and passionate love, and often some forgiveness ... more>>

- Couples who love each other despite knowing about their partner’s red flag, abnormal, toxic traits. Includes characters who used to be toxic in the past. 

- characters who come to know of their partner’s viciousness, possessiveness, abnormal obsession, revenge, etc.

I suggest reading part one since that has a lot of my all time top likes while these are most recent discoveries. https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10969/  <<less

Heya , I'm here with Harem Chinese Bl background, Check it out . If you interested, don't forget to check my other list＼(^o^)／

See my “Fluffy Straight Romance” lists in 3 parts for more in depth reviews and more recommendations. 

Most of the list got Yandere MLs who were only sweet to FLs but cold to other characters. Being crazy in-love, possessive, jealous, obssess and having co-dependency issues with their FLs... (I will also mentioned some toxic and few high-level ones with issues.) ... more>>

I also included rates of ML's yandereness (not the plot, only the level of their craziness about their FL) <<less

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

This list will include novels with jealous, obsessed, possessive (maybe yandere) male lead(s). I will add my review along with it and rate them. ... more>>

- This list does not include BL novels. 

- This list may contain 18+ novels so please read the tags before reading it. 

- The description/review only reflects my opinion. 

Feel free to comment or suggest more novels like this. 

Happy reading! ヾ(＾-＾)ノ <<less

Novels with posessive/obsessed/yandere/extremely clingy male character cuz why not?... more>>

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/26964/?ft=yes <<less

Beware! The nastiest of the nasty smuts!

This list will NOT include novels with explicit r*pe between MC and ML. Due to their nature, these will not depict healthy relationships. This list also does not include QT.... more>>

These are not "true" yandere ML's as the MC is willing and reciprocates. My personal favorite novels are those where the MC/ML dynamic is mutually obsessive/possessive or where the MC accepts and returns the ML's obsessive love. The top ranked novels on this list will have darker tone because of this .

This list focuses on romance and the couples. List is ranked roughly by my enjoyment of the couple. If a novel is shorter, or still early in translation it will naturally fall later.  <<less

Crazy for yanderes? No worries, welcome to our yandere auction. Only the most high-quality yanderes in the BL world! Classified into [intense], [moderate], and [mild]. Take your pick and bring home your favorite yandere today!~... more>>

P.S: I've read all the novels that I recommend here, so I can guarantee you they're all batsh*t insane. And also there'll be a short summary on what the story is about. LIST IS UPDATED PERIODICALLY. Happy reading! <<less
