This list will NOT include novels with explicit r*pe between MC and ML. Due to their nature, these will not depict healthy relationships. This list also does not include QT.

These are not "true" yandere ML's as the MC is willing and reciprocates. My personal favorite novels are those where the MC/ML dynamic is mutually obsessive/possessive or where the MC accepts and returns the ML's obsessive love. The top ranked novels on this list will have darker tone because of this .

This list focuses on romance and the couples. List is ranked roughly by my enjoyment of the couple. If a novel is shorter, or still early in translation it will naturally fall later.
