This one is still peak example on this list. There's mutual understanding from both parties, none try to change the other, both make sacrifices to... more>> make their relationship work. The ML is seriously disturbed but he's also seriously trying with his own logic, and MC knows perfectly that he's not sane in the slightest but still accept him for who he is. <<less

Fl goes from solely surviving to matching his freak. Erik is something aight, he gives us the tension of stereotypical yandere mixed with classic horror villain but at the same time is somewhat a gentleman. I loooove the slowburn and watching their relationship develops from predator-prey to "I could kill you" - "I hope you'd use your hands then, since they're so pretty" peak yandere-darling dynamic. ... more>>

The character dimensions here got me tripping bro, like it's actually so HOT. Erik doing all the chores and making clothes and shoes for MC not just because he likes doing it but also cause he likes the feeling of control is actually mind numbing (I'm seriously drooling). Next best thing since sliced bread. <<less

This one! This! It cures me from my TCSAYSML book hangover since the premise of the relationship is quite similiar in terms of vibes. I... more>> got the similiar butterlflies and chills reading this. Really like this one cause the yandereness here is caused by cultural and moral values that ML still carries from his former life as a demon clashes with the human values in his current life. His codependency and obssesiveness to the MC stemming from his millenia of loneliness is very well written. Also the whole story is basically a corruption arc for the MC, but this is written in a way that makes us not feel bad about it lol. Come read this if you want bunch of the doki-doki that you got from those rare soft yanderes. Young Master Adrian is the real deal. <<less

THIS CAUSED A BIG DILLEMA TO PUT IN THIS LIST... more>>

This one is darker than other novels in this list. Like the thing is there you know, the mutual understanding is there but both characters are so traumatized and damaged so their bond is very twisted even from the reader's point of view. But like, I swear it's there you just gotta squint.

They both got some character developments throughout the story though, so YAY! <<less

It's not really in my taste since the chemistry is off for most parts (because the mc is too preoccupied with her goal to properly care about the ml and being in denial of her own feelings for soo long) but the yandere fits the criteria so I'll just put it here since this type of yandere is hard to find LOL... more>>

ML is basically just a sopping wet puppy begging MC to take him in  <<less

Uhhhh I wasn't actually intending to put this one in here because personally I don't really like the execution. The pacing is off and honestly often feels all over the place. The writing is mediocre but not that bad me thinks. The ML is uhhh less than likeable but he's sort of endearing in a uhhhh lowkey annoying way...how do I even explain this I think he's just too damn bratty (usually it's alright but his brattiness uhh is the kind that doesn't really makes you feel sympathetic IMO) I don't mind him being a crybaby  (I actually fw that) it's really just...damn sometimes I just frown reading some parts. The plot and side characters... more>> ain't that interesting either...and the chemistry between MC and ML is just ain't it. But like...I LOVE pathetic, desperate, babygirl, trigger happy, yet sort-of-cheerful ML so uhhh for that redeeming quality I'll put this here...hehe (bonus point because...tent**les (don't judge me it's just my thing alright)

If I have to pick a spirit animal for ML I think i'll choose tr*sh panda cause that's literally him. A raccoon. Annoying, would ruin things with no remorse, probably has rabies, but clingy and very affectionate once tamed. Still a bit*h tho. <<less
