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

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

NL/BL I have read/am reading that made my heart skip a beat. List order doesn't mean anything. Notes are formatted this way:... more>>

- who the male yandere is (* for series where the yandere is obvious, I will leave as "--")

- 4-1 personal yandere rating (4 - iconic & re-read, 3 - good enough to open, 2 - for when bored, 1 - don't really like but someone else might)

NOTE: I am rating yandere of the novel, not the novel's quality itself. Also, my standards for 'yandere' is pretty loose so keep in mind that it's just how I wish to label them. (If I could see the character picking the MC over the world when forced to choose, then I consider them yandere. "I would burn down the world just to keep you warm," sorta thing.)

- short desc. of how the yandere moments show up in story

Previous list name: Male Yandere Top Picks

Reason for change: I started adding works that didn't fit the title but I've already evaluated. The title could be misleading as is, so I changed it. <<less

 mostly possessive characters/yandere
some are more intense than others... more>>

good for stories but not real life! if anyone is in a relationship like this please be safe! it’s not romantic when someone tries to control you!!! 

((but still... someone who manipulates me so sweetly into his arms while i remain blissfully unaware... someone who goes to all lengths keeping me by his side and all along i thought it was my choice...))

i also appreciate a good all kidnapping & imprisonment <<less

For my friend ... more>>

My planning to read/reading novel list~
NOTE: This list will be edited to fit my tastes.

Your usual and unusual crap.

A LOT of people have lists I've used to find books I've enjoyed. This is my return favor; I hope others can use this to find novels they will really enjoy as well! ... more>>

Important notes - List is in reading order. not preference or any ranking system. My reviews are listed here as well just so you can see my thoughts. I tend to rate things more highly if I think the general rating is lower than it should be. I also tend to LOVE well written angsty stories, and character growth is DEFINITELY a plus. Spoilers are NOT HIDDEN because I couldn't figure out how to get them to work right. 

Top stories for sheer freaking emotional impact - 
Breakup Gift ** I Don't Want to be Loved ** Konyaki-haki sarete Me ga Samemashita ** Two or Three Things About Mr. and Mr. ** <<less

STORIES I LOVE!!!

Really just some cute one-shots that I've read with various degrees of relation to otome games and reincarnating. Please feel free to message me with... more>> any recommendations! <<less

No description.

This list contained of transmigration story into otome game where usually the transmigrator was supposed to be a villainess that turned into a heroine instead.

If you Like yandere's then you're in the right page if you don't like them then sorry this page is not for you

No description.

Not all people like a yandere male lead because they could be abusive and creepy. I seldom read the novel with yandere as a lead... more>> but when I read one, I'll put it in this list. <<less

I haven’t read all of these, but I typically just skip certain words or parts. Towards the end of novels things tend to get a bit dicey, so I read the spoilers for that. ... more>>

If anyone has any quirky short novels please let me know! We like reading really clique cheesy romantic comedies. Mostly the comedy. <<less

Sick male leads. ... more>>

This list does not only include possessive and obsessive leads but also ones who really are psychopaths.  <<less

There aren't enough lists for this, I feel like. xD But also, I'm very particular about the type I like to read about, so, here's... more>> the list of the ones I've read and liked so far. AKA, the sweet, doting, overprotective, possessive (sometimes only borderline yandere)  type (usually). Stories are in no particular order in the list, probably the order I read them in. <<less

No description.

Very recommended to read, these are novels that I think are really worth reading. 

Although it says 'otome', this list contains fics about engagement annulment or villainess too.
