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

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

We all know that some novels when MTL'ed can kill a few of your brain cells,  but here are some that I'll willingly sacrifice them... more>> for.   <<less

I really LOVE this. Taboo. Sibling. Romantically involved. Yess!!!! I'm sick sorry not sorry lol! I finally get around creating list after so long. If you like it as well, please take a look at the list. It might suits your taste too.... more>>

It contains (unless revised): brother x sister, brother x brother, sister x sister ~ sibling only.

Category: in*est (blood-related), pseudo-in*est (not blood-related but few knew about it so the pairing assumes they are until revealed/remains ignorant of it yet still choose this route anyway), step-sibling romance (not blood-related, they know, are living together since they are family, and somehow catch feelings).

If you have any recommendations, feel free to drop comments. Mutuals will be appreciated!

P.S.: (1) please bear in mind that my remarks on each entry may not be spoiler-free since it serves as a reminder of what kind of story it is for me. (2) English is not my first language. (3) so far, I have yet to include GL. I still haven't found any to rec; I'm sorry to disappoint you if you are looking for it here. <<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

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

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

Most are Female Protagonists, haven’t found good BG romance with Male protagonists yet <<less

A collection of series and one-shots that include horror and s*xual themes for those of us that enjoy many kinds of thrilling reads. Note! The s*xual theme doesn't automatically refer to smut. Any form of s*xual behaviour (including on- and off-screen interc**rse, s**tty thoughts, s*xual tension, etc.) counts and appears on this list.... more>>

WARNING: some novels include themes of r*pe and have non-con acts. Make sure to read the tags carefully in case these things make you feel uncomfortable.

I like crazy male leads, good smut, and interesting plots/characters. BEWARE! While most of the novels recommend here aren't that hard-core, some of them are... more>> a bit intense, especially the ones for adults, so please before reading make sure to check the tags and trigger warnings. Read at your own risk. <<less

To keep track and reminisce. Putting here only those that left a good taste and lasting impression, except the ones not read yet(its so I can read em later). If we have the same taste, please reco me some (≧▽≦). Hard to find good chinese novels, but when you do its quite addicting to read. I'm a sucker for respectful, polite, and elegant mc's who are misunderstood to be amazingly good or amazingly evil or just pure op.( I do mass cleansing from time to time, cause some are not as good as i thought)... more>>

These are random but usually have emotionally and mentally strong mc's. It's also arranged randomly(rank doesn't matter).

Random:#Op mc#Strong mc mentally&emotionally#Transmigration#Sickly mc#Funny misunderstandings#I dunna like scenes#No dumb romance, just smart and simple ones#Wholesome#Fun fun fun <<less

These are all of my favorites. They range from cute love stories to suspenseful action. Take a look if you’d like.

Because 100 is not enough.
