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

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.

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. 

Beware! The nastiest of the nasty smuts!

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

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

Okay, here's a list that has a story MOST OF THE TIME. I enjoy reading smut with a sprinkling of plot on the top. Like hot chocolate with marshmallows. The marshmallows aka plot gives it a little extra oomph. Though sometimes the plot is the hot chocolate and the smut is the marshmallows. ... more>>

There are also some stories in this list that are 100% smut with NO PLOT. Those are the chocolate bars with no nuts. HAHA.  <<less

Yanderes enough said.
