Extremely Possessive & Obsessive Gongs/Semes (BL): The Unhinged, the Dangerous, and the Completely Devoted... more>>

If you’re here, you’re probably not looking for just mild possessiveness—you want the full, all-consuming, borderline (or outright) psychotic obsession. This list is for those gongs/semes who take possessive to a whole new level, the ones who would burn the world down just to keep their beloved by their side. Whether they’re dangerously devoted, terrifyingly controlling, or so obsessed that they’d rather see their lover broken than let them go—these MLs are completely unhinged in the best (or worst) way possible.

These are the books I’ve read so far with this trope, but I’ll be adding more as I go. No soft or half-hearted possessiveness here—every ML on this list is all in, with a level of obsession that might just make you question your morals.

Lists of danmei transmigration novels (MC is transmigrated as a villain/cannon fodder trope) so far. Though, I'd probably forgotten to put several novels that I've read before 'cause this idea just dawned on me just recently, which was a shame. :") It's way too late, but now, I'll start to put them here. Promise :")
I still put the novels that I've dropped, not telling what it was.... more>>

Settings: historical / ancient china (I love imagining their clothes) <<less

Here’s part two of my recommendation list for transmigration novels. These are my ratings (in no particular order), based on my personal preferences:... more>>

★ ★ ★ ★ ★  5/5 - Read Now!

An outstanding read that left a profound and lasting impact on me! I was absolutely hooked from start to finish, and I couldn’t get enough! It’s a must-add to your reading list!

★ ★ ★ ★  4/5 - Page-Turner!

I couldn’t put it down! Even with a few minor flaws, the overall experience was immensely enjoyable. Each page turned faster than the last, and I loved every moment!

★★★☆ 3.5/5 - Mixed Feelings

I found it enjoyable, but there were instances where the arc dragged slightly. It showed great potential but didn't quite reach its full impact.

★ ★ ★  3/5 - Almost There!

It kicked off with an interesting start but lost its pace midway. While there were some positive elements, it ultimately didn't deliver as expected.

★ ★  2/5 - Nice Try 

I gave it a chance out of curiosity, as the cover and description were quite intriguing, but it didn’t quite hook me

★  1/5 - Dropped

I put it down after a few chapters because it didn’t engage me as much as I had hoped, but I appreciate the creativity behind it. <<less
