Chances of me reading them are based on 1 to 5 hearts ♥
Remember: this is not a recommendation list (it's more like a filter) - I highly recommend reading the novels' reviews first. <<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

Lighthearted, no angst, cute, romantic, warm and sweet. I re-read those often. Only completed novels listed. Some do have a little angst, but it is never between the couple, mostly drama from their past or outsiders who bring them trouble.... more>>

Those novels are well-written, with coherent story, coherent protagonists, coherent fantasy/modern world-building. Coherence and consistency in both plot and character behaviour are really important for me. I am not looking for realism. I am looking for cohesion and escapism. I don't mind characters who are OP, filthy rich, tsunderes, yanderes, geniuses, black-belly, child-like adults, evil demons, amoral characters, shota, obssessive, possessive etc.. i don't mind excessive characters because that's exactly what i like. I like that in Asian lit, those marginal characters are heroes and not defined by standardised morality. In Western lit, i don't meet many characters like that, and i have 45yrs of reading western literature. The only character set i avoid are indecisive protags who have no self-knowledge and keep self-analysing which i find quite boring. IRL, i also avoid such people lol... <<less

...or novels that involves (cute) kids in it  (not in particular order bc i'm lz).
