Also if you can, read at night cause it definitely gets you more emotional and its more enduring cause you want to cry and scream but cant wake anyone up, really gets you in your feels.

Make sure you read tags so you know what ride you're in but since you clicked on this anyways you probably already know. <<less

sometimes is better to cut off your parents rather than continuing to suffer. here we have some protagonists who do just that.

warning for dark themes and wtv,but why else wld u be here lol 

ratings will be 1-10 for yanderes only (idrc how good the story is, ill talk about how i thought the plot was like, but this is not the focus of the list), with 1 being tame asf (lame) and 10 (and above) being black as the f*ckign void, like abusive type shi. im also like very extreme, so what is prob a lower rating might be higher for a lot of others, because even the slightest bit of green in my red makes me gag, so just proceed with caution.  <<less

BL's you can't count as green, light hearted or fluffy. Despicable s*umbags and manipulative gaslighters. Worlds doomed from the start or trauma that makes you feel empty inside. So many trigger warnings, you have to know for yourself if you can handle the topics. This is fiction, none of this should anyone expirience in the real world. Toxicity isn't love and these aren't really romance stories. ... more>>

[do not read these if you are underage, most of these have heavy topics or have the SMUT tag] <<less

I’ve recently started diving back into straight romance, and I had to make a list dedicated to the most obsessive, possessive, and jealous male leads I've come across. These guys don’t just get attached—they get crazy obsessed. Most of them fall firmly into red/black flag territory, so check the tags before jumping in. and almost all of these books are modern and come with a good dose of smut (sorry, historical romance lovers).... more>>

Obsessive Seme/Gongs for BL/Danmei List : https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/106451/
Honorable mention to my favorite fanfics on AO3. If you like truly depraved dark romance with deep, all-consuming obsession:

-If I can't have you by Deathsdoll
-Silent Tears by Darkwoe <<less

Guilty pleasures where characters look down on the mc and do horrible things to mc, only for them to later regret it. will not include kicked out of guilds one cause I'll make another list on it in the future. warning: writing might be subpar-bad, and can be super frustrating with how some of the characters act,.... more>>

I mostly read male MC-dominated novels (and mostly Chinese), but I’ve been branching out into stories with female protagonists lately and I’ve actually been enjoying them quite a bit.  <<less

Characters having the best character growth/development.

May every man like this decompose in hell.

Lots of angst and tr*shy irredeemable ML’s

You’ve been warned  <<less

My pick list of Korean Novel that have below 150 chapter. Its short, well written, good read and most importantly leave a deep aftertaste ~

I dislike horrible men, clearly psychotic men who have done horrific things getting excused of well they were under some magic, something was controlling him... more>> and they weren't actually themselves but something else made them bad or they had to be cold in order to protect the FL/MC. If i get a terrible ML then i would rather keep him that way instead of giving him a poor of excuse to redeem him and say love fixed it all. Give me the toixc sh*t please, yes they are all insane and abusive and there's no excuses but at least they are aware of how shitty they are and high key don't mind it being a terrible person.  <<less

Stories with yandere or possessive shous.... more>>

Ranked based on the insanity of the shou, not based on the quality of the story. <<less

Angst reigns supreme. *metaphysically slaps list* this bad boy can fit so much trauma and tragedy... Please proceed for self-inflicted emotional damage. ... more>>

Literally, serious suffering ahead. Wild how much of this list overlaps with my "favourites" one. 

In alphabetical order for (my) convenience! And perhaps yours too! <<less

Extremely Toxic BL -- not for the faint of heart. The preference is for fics with no 'redemption arc,' just pure unfettered toxicity through and... more>> through.  <<less

Ml is either neglected or misunderstood while Fl is spiteful/competitive towards ml.... more>>

If I had a nickel for every time there's a story about fl being jealous and competing against the younger ml for her parents' love and the company/business, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened thrice. (Actually it's not. Please recommend me more stories. I live for this ) <<less

You can say it’s just all Dark Dark romance. ... more>>

I call it dark, Because at some point it's just went to total madness and throw you to that point of no rescue.  <<less
