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

I'm a very picky reader who often skimmed through many chapters and sometimes wouldn't even read til the end, unless imo the novel is really, really that good. And this is my list of the best BxG romance with female protagonist and more than 4 ⭐ ratings.... more>>

Do please take note though, most of these novels are still being translated into English so I usually finished 'em by MTL. <<less

Mixed bag. Basically transmigration and rebirth novels who have a better life (somewhat) for the second time, whether through revenge or just living a peaceful life while falling in love. ... more>>

Not only “Transmigrated into novels” type of story , but also stories who in their past life seems like they were a villain or cannon fodder who died unjustly. <<less

* There will be no BL, HAREM, YAOI,GL ... more>>

*B×G, one vs one relationship.

** THERE ARE SOME OTHER NOVELS AND STORIES AND COMIC LINK IN THE COMMENT SECTION WITH YANDERE ML.

****THERE IS A SECOND PART OF THIS LIST.

This list only includes Chinese and Korean novel.

  JAPANESE YANDERE MALE LEAD LIST link-https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/20430/ <<less

A list of top Chinese BG web novel series featuring a mixture of genres that I’ve compiled for the purpose of conveniently browsing TLs of BG [Shoujo/Josei] Novels on NU ♪( ´▽｀)  ... more>>

P.S: No guarantees that each series will have good plot or romance cuz I haven’t read through the majority of them, they are listed according to the rankings provided on the popular Chinese web novel serialization platform, JJWXC (original publisher). It’s a decent list to browse through if you are looking for the next BG novel to add to your TBR or are just interested in exploring this genre in general.

Happy Reading (￣∇￣)/ ❤️ <<less

As the title says, this collection consists fully of yandere male leads. Some more yandere than others.... more>>

Most stories are very dark. Like this is probably as dark as it gets. If you are looking for fluff, look elsewhere.

Most of the stories are historical fantasy but some are real life.

Fair warning : The characters can be pretty toxic and even emotionally abusive at times. 

All recommendations are welcome. But it will only be included in the list if I really like it. <<less

I've always loved how the chasing turns 360, and I'm fond of light, fluffy stories. But I may throw some depressing or sad novels in there. Just yaknow BE AWARE. probably gonna put some heads-up or nah. I write sh8tty descriptions, but yeah hope this helps. ... more>>

P.S. And before I forgot I might mix some Yaoi in there, not too much but I'll put smthn to make you aware of it MWA <<less

This is a sublist of... more>>

Switch Real Children VS. Fake Children

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/24775/?ft=yes

It deals strictly with real child vs fake child conflict in novels, no quick transmigration

Note: the list is segmented BxG first, then BL, then Yuri

My other lists can be found here https://www.novelupdates.com/user/231781/kawaii12345/
and include

Lost And Found Children

Switch Real Children VS. Fake Children (children coming to terms with being switched)

Fake Children vs Real Children Quick Transmigration
Real Child vs Fake Child Standalone list
Sibling Warfare (when the kids are about to kill each other)
Poisonous Families
Transmigrated into a novel
ACT: Ancient China Transmigration <<less

No description.

Yandere ML, Love Interest Falls In Love First, Strong Female MC. Honestly, if you want a yandere and possessive ML and can’t get triggered at... more>> the toxicity, then this list is for you. Some are also not toxic, I also left reviews so that you could pick. <<less

Mostly "toxic" relationships and primarly that of a romantic nature.... more>>

Although the ML's are usually the one described of such acting, the FL's can be too.

Ussually the FL has the upper hand and the ML is a puppy, this also being the preference, but there can be exceptions in the list.

Also novels where the ML's burning affection is not reciprocated by the FL. This can be changed as the plot evolves, or until the end the love won't be reciprocated.

Fantastic realm/ Royalty/Modern world/Ancient times - doesn't matter as long as the FL is not treated miserably, even if there is angst, mixed emotions, bursts of anger, sad and tense moments. The ML lead definitely can not be a total scum and the FL a weak, emotional damsel. This being said, I gladly accept new suggestions that match this genre. <<less

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

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

----------

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!

Welcome to the dark side~ (Chinese version)

If you're trying to find novels which will help you to deal with anxiety and pressure, make you deal with your inferiority complex and boost your confidence level, you're at the right place! These novels will make you believe in yourself as our leads are independent and powerful. So, Be CONFIDENT!... more>>

Because the first and 2nd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 3rd list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on the 1st and 2nd list will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing the 1st and 2nd list, Go See that 1st!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o  <<less

This list includes possessive lovers that weren’t able to together with mc at first, including mls/fls that had unrequited love toward the mc, were neglected... more>> by mc, or misunderstood by mc and thought to be scary and dangerous. This list involves partners who aren’t each others firsts. It involves mls or fls with unconditional or hidden love that get their chance eventually, after the mc gains some clarity.  <<less

These are the novels I've given a try in 2021. I've also only been MTLing for like a couple of weeks so I've only completed some of them. I am of course going to include novels I've dropped and try to say the reason BUT, I have an awful memory so I don't even remember what I read last week, so some reviews might not be too accurate. Also my opinion is sh*t, don't trust me bc I get influenced by emotions, but if I rave about it it shouldn't be too bad, if I dropped it then... that's usually my fault.... more>>

I reached the list's limit so I'm not including certain unremarkable stories... I don't wanna do another list though, I guess I'll just have to stop reading this year. If push comes to shove I'll just replace the novels that I haven't read much of and didn't like.

Also yes..... this is what I read in > 4 months, I need a life and stop reading so much but this was a boring semester and reading was far more interesting than certain classes and just as useful (not useful). I hate myself omg guys don't do this! The way I don't even remember the names of these characters hftguyihio.

This is 96% CN, 3% JP, 1% KR.

ALSO STAN LOONA <<less

modern day but the mc is still in school or college, female mc and some romance 

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

Where the plot contains MC being switch at birth or at young age with someone. ... more>>

Stories here also include those of similar trope as the CENTER, such as someone being kidnapped/lost/died at a young age and the family took in someone else as a sort of "replacement".
Tier is base on when they are added in this list: with the higher number being the most recently added and 1 the oldest. 

This list is full, starting a new one at: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/83222/ <<less

So I create this rec list for me to remember the novels I have read or some novels I plan to read. ... more>>

You can also recommend a novel you have read too. I'm fine with the raw novels as long as give me the raw title. :) <<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
