Novels I recommend that have MCs that only feigns affection or may have their own acting personas (innocent, pure, etc) towards other characters, but inwardly they are cold, scheming, or focused on achieving their goal. (This also makes them use the characters around them unintentionally or intentionally). These are stories that usually make use of one sided love from love interests. ... more>>

Other recommendations (not available at NU):

TS tr*sh bit*h Girl Wants to Be Stolen Away - Requiem translations (MC has a fetish; she likes to be the one ‘NTR’ed and see the despair/negative emotions of those who get cu*ked or get jealous, she chooses and manipulates her love interests into loving her and she doesnt love them romantically at all as she just wants to use them for enjoyment. MC is OP and the novel has misunderstandings and jealousy of love interests towards each other with a romcom vibe and some fanservice moments) really enjoyed this one, almost binged a whole night on it 9/10 <<less

No description.

All series have male MC's, female leads, there must be no NTR (except when done by the MC), no Yuri, no Yaoi and the stories must be at least decent in writing. This list is made by a yandere lover for yandere lovers. Some stories are not all about the yandere but it must include obsessive relationships, manipulation, coercion, bribery, blackmail,  worship, jealousy, crimes of passion, emotional/physical/psychological/social/spiritual ab*se/SA or stalking from the woman. May include Lemons!
Rated according to how much Yandere there is in the novel. Very High is main focus, high tension, high frequency. High is main focus, high frequency. Medium is low tension, main focus, but low frequency. Low is no tension,... more>> not main focus and low frequency. None is for stories that MAY have yandere tendencies but have not been shown yet in the story, will update those soon.

UPDATE: Novels with DEAD LINK in the description cannot be read in the links in novelupdates. Say it with me, "f*ck NOVELPIA!"
