I love Pure Love, so I created the Pure Love Archive. No yaoi, no yuri, no harem - just pure love between a man and a woman. However, since I mostly read RAW novels, I can't add them here directly. but I'll include them in the comments instead.... more>>

Note: Most of the novels I read are ones without painful drama. it's probably the kind that doesn't require many brain cells or even any at all to read. So feel free to skip this list if you're looking for something serious. 

—If there's a novel you think should be on this list, don't hesitate to share it in the comments.

If a thousand people love Pure Love, I’m one of them.
If a hundred people love Pure Love, I’m still one of them.
If only ten people love Pure Love, I’m still faithfully among them.
If only one person loves Pure Love, then it’s me.
If no one loves Pure Love anymore, then I must be gone.

UWOOOGHH PURE LOVE ♥️♥️♥️ <<less

Here's a list of the pure love stories I've read.... more>>

Just a warning, the ratings are based purely on my enjoyment, not how good the story or writing is.

Most of the time my enjoyment of a story comes from character interactions and chemistry over story and worldbuilding.

I'm aware most of the ratings on this list are overinflated but shush.

Oh btw this list does/ will have some r18/ yuri/ ts yuri stories on it (no yaoi/ straight ts though)

If anyone would like to talk about novels w me add my discord: Virimee <<less

My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires - not available on NU <<less

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!"

prefer clingy/yandere female leads and not a huge fan of harem

one of the best romance novels that I have ever read is Imouto Life by Hitoma Iruma which is somehow not on here - too taboo to be translated? edit: longer thoughts on a novel will be posted as a review under the novel itself

update dec 23: been reading a lot of korean mtls, will update with some decent finds <<less
