(Just to be clear, I like dark and psychologically dense stories. So the novels here should fit more into the dark romance category than light... more>> and funny romance.)                                                                                                                                              This is a personal taste list, but feel free to identify with it. The vibe I'm looking for in these novels is that of FLs who somehow drive their MLs crazy precisely because they're madly in love with them. It doesn’t mean his nature changes throughout the story, but that the FL is a weak point in his morality. Somehow, the FL can make a sane or even unstable man do things for her even though it’s not part of his character. And the main criterion is that only she can bring out this side of him, even if she doesn’t realize it.  <<less

This is more of a list of observations than completed novels, but feel free to watch and see if any of them interest you. Just to warn you in advance, I prefer dark and psychologically dense stories with detestable characters—especially male characters. So don’t expect mature, reasonable, or even kind men. Maybe a romanticized toxic man who just doesn’t hurt the heroine (let’s say that, at least, he doesn’t traumatize her). ... more>>

I may revise my comments if I end up reading the novel and choosing to either finish or drop it. <<less

Ongoing means either the season has ended or chapter updates are very slow. But the story is moving forward. 

Updating means chapters are coming up weekly or on a regular schedule. 

Hiatus means, the story is on a long undefined break. (If the break is defined it’s ongoing) 

Complete means, main story and side stories are released.

Xianxia novels have always been one of my favorite genre to read. Although it has been years since I have started reading, there are still... more>> so many novels that I haven't touched. I also recently finished MDZS( GDC/FOD) and I am obsessed. One of the best stories I have ever read. Edit- It is the best novel I have ever read!! Definitely my first time trying a danmei novel and I enjoyed a lot. So I created this list for similar novels with the main theme of xianxia. Both yaoi and straight romance tropes are included here. Feel free to recommend me some novels specially novels like mdzs. Thank You. <<less
