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 

* Also, pls keep in mind that some have smut and forced s*x/r*pe <<less

Based on my personal scale of yandere intensity.... more>>

NOTE: THE RATING IS NOT A RATING OF THE NOVEL, ONLY THE INTENSITY OF THE YANDERE. 

This list includes all the books I think are solid 7+/10 and very intense male yanderes. BL included. Most novels are completed. Spoilers beware! 

The Scale:

1: All bark no bite

7: Glaring red flags, but red is my favourite colour. 

9: Perfect intensity. The most intense just below abusive imo. 

10: My friend, if you don't get out of there, imma call 911 to drag you out of there. Somebody get a restraining order pls im begging.

Please note: These are intense yanderes, there will be toxic and abusive relationships. Please read the tags for TWs. <<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

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

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

It's my hobby and duty to check out *obsessive love* novels on this site and warn you before you waste your time. Unsurprisingly, most of them are quite bad,  :>  Sorry if I roast and bury your favorite to the ground... ♥

Part 3, it’s a continuation of my previous list. Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8369/ Honestly just a cluster of different stories that fall under this title that I enjoyed. I... more>> love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming themes that incorporate romance. I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated. During my free time, I’ll add scores between 1-5 on how worthwhile they are to read. 1) Only read if you’re bored to absolute tears; 2) it’s an okay read, some dissatisfying parts, not a priority at all; 3) Not particularly bad or good, just something to pass the time when you have a long trip (it won’t feel like an absolute waste of time or make you feel particularly dissatisfied after reading); 4) Good read that you should read; 5) Excellent/MUST read. If the score contains a .5, then it could go in either direction of the whole numbers it’s closest to. Keep in mind, none of the novels listed here are awful. Some are definitely better than others, but all of them have their own merits.  <<less
