Novels w/

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

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

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

UPDATED!!! <Shoujo Fantasy Novels> Good Reads!! All of them are worth reading ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ... more>>

We all love a strong female lead, don't we?  Here are my recommendations~ Hope you enjoy! <<less

For the stories i finish and review, please note that it is my personal opinion and you are entitled to disagree with me.... more>>

Most of these will be villainess/reincarnated stories, but I'm trying to incorporate different stories into this list. I enjoy all genres, if you have a story you'd like to recommend please tell me!

As I go along I put my (mostly) unfiltered thoughts on the novel, so hopefully you can easily find some stories you'd like to read based on my review. 

note: the reviews are based on the number of chapters I have read so far~ 

i am warning you this is literally my guilty pleasure list lmao  <<less

you will find here mainly transmigration, villains and badass MC with some spicy scenes. I'm still arranging it all and adding reviews so I wouldn't look at the ranking for now, except for the novels in which I have already written some reviews. I hope you will find something for yourself here XO... more>>

Novels that can be found translated on the Yonder app.... more>>

It's hard to remember what novels are translated, but can only be found
on these s*upid apps. The apps themselves are hard to search also and
sometimes change the name or cover completely. I'm sure I missed some,
if you let me know I'll add them.

Yonder only gives a few chapters free and then you have to buy their coins. Some novels have free daily chapters or other promotions, but usually you have to pay. <<less

this list contains manhwa adaptions with not just villainess

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

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

I think they all range but they’re mostly transmigration and all have beautiful cover art 

Just some novels of terribly possessive guys who will do anything anything for their girlsヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

My TBR is flooded with this type of novels so I thought I might put them into one list. If you obsessed folks-like me- want... more>> to bombard and drown the translators or novels' comment sections with requests to ask them to reconsider then write the name of the novel in the comment section and maybe together we could do something. For me I'm seriously itching to read MARRAIGE OF CONVENIENCE but the translator just stopped updating with no former notice :( <<less

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
