THIS HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED TO SHOUJO/JOSEI ONLY. I HAVE A SEPARATE LIST FOR BL LIGHT NOVELS... more>>

Collection of light novels with Male Yanderes who are crazy for the main character (Shoujo / Josei). 

###

There is now a separate list for Male Yanderes in BL novels

###

Currently in no order - WIP

Categories:

Male Yandere Male Lead - An important character (usually the ML) is yandere

Male Yandere Side Character - The yandere is only a supporting character and/or may only appear for a short part of the story. If the novel doesn't have a yandere tag at all then it probably means the yandere plays a very minor role.

Possessive Male Lead - Perhaps not quite a yandere but does show signs of possessiveness

Not Enough Chapters - Too early in the novel to tell / character hasn't demonstrated yandere traits yet but it's tagged under Male Yandere <<less

Novels w/
• jealousy
• sly comments
• tension
• obsessive love... more>>

I've ranked these based on the ones I've enjoyed the most considering the plot and possessiveness of the male lead by a 2:1 ratio ~

Only straight romances 

(I have another list only for BL)

what I've written are my honest opinions and pls feel free to reccomend more or to ask any questions ~♡ <<less

CN, KRN, and JPN I only got to know, read and love when NU came to my life... As well as MLs I need in my life because of their infinite love and care for their FLs... sana ol... more>>

Note: The list will be updated every now and then because there are some novels I had read and loved in the past but forgot the titles due to reading many recent updated novels. Also, I may sort the novels' ranking. Thank you.

Novels with either plain obsessive love or twisted relationships. Keep in mind that these are all my personal ratings so it may not be the same for you but still, take it as a reference if you're unsure of what to read next. ... more>>

Yandere Levels ; 10 - borderline obsessive w/ actual reasons   ▎8 to 9 - definitely obsessive but not too much  ▎5 to 7 - obsessiveness that came out of no where (aka just bcuz fl's nice to ml etc.)

Plot ; 10 - interesting and unique  ▎8 to 9 - decent / common but tolerable  ▎5 to 7 - plain and usual / not so surprising  <<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

full of psycho males drunk in love. ofc there are no sweet male leads here honey. I've read all the stories in this list and i fcking luv it ♡

(some stories are r-18 tho (๑ ऀืົཽ₍₍ළ₎₎ ऀืົཽ)✧) <<less

I intended to make this list to compile novels I liked that has Strong Female Leads but I also like Powerful Male Leads so added that as well hehe.... more>>

By Strong Female Lead, I don't mean what most thought of, like the MC having advantages since she knows the plot of the story reincarnated in, that's not strong that just her being in the lead since she know what's gonna happen. By strong I mean, either physically or mentally strong. A pretty vague answer but in short here are novels with Main Characters that I deem strong.
Beware that I prioritize the characters here rather than the plots so you may agree or disagree with my selection, but otherwise, these are all just suggestions for people who doesn't know what to read next.

Characters ; 10 - unique, has their own personalities | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but decent nonetheless | 5 to 7 - a character on their own, make sense but also doesn't, not so detailed or well written.

Plot ; 10 - unique and interesting | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but tolerable enough to read | 5 to 7 - written solely for the main characters to shine, not so detailed or well written. <<less

they just can't help themselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

to be read? in the middle of reading? ... more>>

no order!  <<less

Relatively longer ones, most with 50+ translated chapters

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 1. https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/40125/

-----

Enjoy reading! <3 will add more novels in the future. <<less

This is both transported  to another  world  and world hopping 

In all these novels, the ML falls in love with the MC first. I can't stand the MC falling in love first because it means that he/she is technically the loser. I'm super biased to the protagonist, so that can't be possible. ... more>>

 I don't really care too much if the MC feels like a mary sue. I just ignore that plot hole. Read on if you want to read on! It goes in no particular order. 

If you want more, check out my pt. 2 of my Great QT Novels list. This is already maximum, so I just created another list. 

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/33942/?ft=yes <<less

You guessed it- more romances this time featuring villains:... more>>

-MC saves villain, MC raises villain, MC is a villain, MC loves a villain

-tragic backstory is usually involved, redemption is important as well

-some have ml who isn’t said to be a villain directly but everyone is scared of him/think he’s bad
