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

If you love yandere male leads (not in a bad way but in a delicious way) like me      ... more>>

Then this is for you

and when i say yandere it _is_ a  Yandere

the ones that goes bat sh*t crazy for mc

Also there is r*pe/forced s*x in the list, so read at your own risk

Also, I would love it if you could recommend me some yandere ML book recs  <<less

I really don't know how to describe this relationship dynamic with only a few words...... more>>

The FL, by way of raising, taming, or a similar method, ends up capturing the ML's heart and earning his utter devotion. He's wrapped around her finger and will do anything to make her happy while also being very possessive and easily jealous. She holds full emotional power over him. However, she herself is not physically strong -- he unconsciously holds that over her. Two sides of a coin. One holds the head and heart, while the other holds the strength of the body. The two complement each other in such a way. 

Roundabout ways of expressing affection are wonderful. Hugging her from behind, kissing her hand gently, holding her waist tightly as they dance; he desires her greatly, but due to his reverence of her he cannot do more than this. She in turn cannot refuse his advances, as she becomes increasingly unable to leave his side. There may be a point where he can no longer hold back and contain his feelings, regardless of how much he treasures her...

Expect a lot of angst and pining, some tragedy, and the occasional fluff to soothe the pain. I have mostly seen this dynamic in transmigration novels, so I end up reading them most of the time (the transmigration trope itself does not necessarily appeal to me). I would love it if you, kind passerby, could recommend me more, transmigration or not! <<less

My personal favorite novels containing the most dangerous, manipulative, and deadliest white lotuses and green teas that will get what they want by hook or by crook. Comments included.... more>>

(No particular order) <<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~

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

This is more of a personal list but eh, I don’t see a point why I shouldn’t make this public. This list will be updated quite rarely since only those I really liked would be here.... more>>

————————

All types of romance novels here. I really can’t stand a lot of drama and misunderstandings so don’t expect too much of them here. The genres are all over the place. I can’t stand horror but if there’s good romance, I’ll read it. Some might have tragic endings, but u would be warned before hand :)

————————-

The stories are in order based on which I finished reading/found first. <<less

Collection of Novel that I had read or still continue reading (on-going or slow reading). ... more>>

Mostly BL, but I put the Non-BL or Non-Romance too if there's any. And YES there's few there! <<less

Obsessive male leads are so irrestible and I love every single one of em. They be a lil scary tho when they blacken. Huhu. Anyway, i'm blessing yall with sum yandere babi.=>... more>>

No yuri (gomen)

No yaoi (gomen ;~;)

There are a lot of novels I know which have obsessive male leads, but unfortunately there's no info about them here on NU, so i'll probably just list it here or on the comments:

Mommy villainess (PERSONAL FAVORITE)

The demon's bride

The crown's obsession

Young master Damien's pet

The reason why I don't want to marry the Prince <<less

You prayed to the yandere gods. This is the reply.

Just a bunch of BG and BL with yandere tropes that I've read. No particular order.... more>>

Btw I'm not good at rating but if it's near 10 it means yandere did stuff worth noting imo. I'm just rating how yandere the ML is, not the story. 

Also, there's no yandere MC here, just yandere ML. If there is, it means both MC and ML are yandere. <<less

I want to poop but I’m typing this instead- ... more>>

ok jk that was joke guys pls don’t leave! )): <<less

that feeling when you're so into as novel and then the translators drop it ... more>>

or the feeling of being left on a cliffhanger but having no where to even 

these are completed - that means no waiting, no pain yay 

lots are one shots but there's so really good long ones in there as well e.g Ascending do not disturb  <<less

These are the COMPLETED translated novels with romance tag that I rated 5 for being one of the gems I can read over again and again, and hugely recommend others to try!... more>>

Be warned that some of them are NOT for the weak heart!

The number is base on my ranking on them! ^^

The ranking btw, is not just base on the romance development but the overall story and characters. Some could even be said not to be "romance" at all *cough* stockholm syndrome *cough*, however them having romance tag is not up to my decision -and so in NU they are still considered as "Completed Romance Novels". <<less

You've come here because you want that yandere. ... more>>

Message me if you think there's one I haven't added/think there's one I might like. I'd really appreciate it :) <<less

I like crazy male leads, good smut, and interesting plots/characters. BEWARE! While most of the novels recommend here aren't that hard-core, some of them are... more>> a bit intense, especially the ones for adults, so please before reading make sure to check the tags and trigger warnings. Read at your own risk. <<less
