Sister stack (romance fantasy/rofan series): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/41286
^ Basically the same as this stack, but the person in question hasn't transmigrated/reincarnated/etc!

Some others that aren't on MAL:
- My Crush Got Possessed by the Duke

Reincarnated/iskeiaed/went back in time, I want them to ruin my life

Occidental historical manhwas.
The stories contain themes like romance, revenge, isekai, reincarnation, back in time and wars.
The main characters are women. I added some with men as protagonists.


Most of the titles are added as I've discovered them. If you want me to add a new title, just send me a message :)

Part II: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/58976

(Copy n pasted throughout all my yandere stacks)
This list includes everything from mushy cutesy to ‘oh god I'm on a watchlist now’ so scroll with precaution.

There are two requirements for this list:
-The yandere needs to take up ATLEAST 1/5 screentime (if they don't take up half then ill put this note: yandere is a side character)
-no porn unless its gore or psychological horror

I've checked everything so even if the yandereness doesn't show at first trust that it's coming.

Here i put some popular and high score historical Romance Manhwa

Manga that has a villainess trying to avoid the bad ending that is bound to happen!

Favorite manga/manwha that’s so good it altered my brain chemistry. Featuring strong female protagonists that all face adversities from psychological to environmental. (Some pull your heart strings…)

Romance Manhwa that was first published in Late 2021 to 2023, since it's all new, a lot of the scores stay at 6.5 as default.
Tag: Historical, Villainess, Reincarnated, Time-travel, Reliving past lives so and so.
Popular AND Good (I read the reviews), no under 6.5/10, all have 40+ chapters or Finished.

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

Who cares if he fell first or not? He definitely fell harder!

[ TL;DR : Manhwas where the male lead is totally smitten with the FL. I try to find ones that slightly border on the psycho level but is not totally psycho ]

[ Has red flag levels with four categories: (1) SIMP, (2) LOWKEY CRAY, (3) CRAAAZY, and (4) HE PUTS THE YEAH IN YANDERE, all with ranging sub-categories. The number one category (simp) is still a red flag but the tamest with the fourth category being a major red flag. If the ML happened to not fit in within this categories, he'd be rated GREEN as in green flag. Got it? Good! ]

of course this would all be hella messed up in reality, please call the police and get a restraining order or something if your partner is ever this insanely possessive over you. but in the world of fiction, let us just enjoy these messed up, psychotic, handsome men 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

note: there are countless series with yandere MLs out there, so this list is just full of ones i actually enjoyed and would recommend to others

i also have a spotify playlist for dark romance: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1K22SLBmjJLUQlnPoiwg8l?si=e8699ae6cf8f4b21

• tags: historical, drama, fantasy


Chaotic Nights [폭야] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5

A Kind Goblin's Bird [상냥한 도깨비의 새] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★☆ 4/5
• "Did he lay his hands on you? Did you cry a lot? I will cut out his tongue, and gouge out his eyes."
• it was love at first sight for him- the moment he laid eyes on her, he was prepared to risk it all
• goes on a killing and torturing rampage to eliminate anyone who has ever hurt her. zero mercy, he won't grant them an easy death; he wants them to suffer as much as possible
• FL is one of those weak and naive types which i would normally hate but it's valid for her case because of her abusive upbringing and she's just really struggling with ptsd. there's a moment where she's able to fight back and i'm proud of her for it
• ending felt kind of rushed and unsatisfying, wish there was like an epilogue or something :/
• tags: historical/korean period era, angst, drama, smut 🔞


I'm Dating A Psychopath - webtoon; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• self-explanatory title lol

The Yandere Magician Can Only Love The Statue Maiden [ヤンデレ魔法使いは石造乙女しか愛せない] - manga; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• "I'll make her need me... with every fiber of her being... for eternity."
• the age gap in this one is different because they meet when she is 24 and he is 12, and then later on he becomes 32 while she's still 24, so... it's up to you whether you feel comfortable with that or not. but i can guarantee that FL is not a groomer and had no romantic feelings towards ML when he was still a kid!
• he's got very valid reasons for becoming as obsessed as he is with FL tho ;-;
• yes he's a yandere but he's a good boi i swear
• ...all the good deeds he did just so he could build FL's vision of paradise for her to live comfortably and happily in... ahh love
• tags: historical, fantasy, age gap, angst, drama, smut 🔞


The Beast Within [야수의 성] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5

• warning: DUMB FL but delicious smut
• another tall, dark and handsome yandere with glowing golden eyes
• and i know i said the FL is dumb af but you know what... i'd gladly reduce myself to a brainless doll for this toxic man any day bc just look at him
• has plot but i'm just here for the smut if i'm honest
• tags: historical, fantasy, smut 🔞


The Bondservant [집착은 다정하고 집요하게] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• "Maybe I ought to kill him... Maybe I could sell him off. Or maybe I could give him a low dose of a lethal poison to make him insane."
• he has black hair and glowing red eyes- exactly what i'd expect to see as a visual representation of the perfect yandere ML
• FL is actually equally as obsessed with him; guess it's what trauma bonding does to the both of them
• a yandere couple that's willing to kill to protect each other <3
• tags: historical, fantasy, drama


Forbidden Odd Melody [금수별곡] - manhwa; josei

• tags: historical/korean period era, fantasy, drama, tiger!ML x fox!FL, smut 🔞


In The Doghouse [황궁의 정원에는 개가 산다] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★☆☆ 3/5
• "Should I have them killed? Command it and it shall be done. As for the charges... well, we can always fabricate something. Who was the one who offended my master?"
• ML is secretly a super masochist and falls in love with FL because he witnessed her reprimanding her shitty family one time and it gave him a boner bc he wished she would hit/yell at him the same way HAHAHA
• but despite being a submissive boi begging to be stepped on by his beloved, he will not hesitate to kill anyone who disrespects or hurts her
• FL IS SO FUNNY IN THIS; she didn't know about S&M play and BDSM stuff before knowing the prince so her reactions to his masochism are hilarious
• she's constantly battling her inner thoughts, going from 'are you for real right now, you enjoy this?? what is wrong with you' to 'omg he has a face of an angel tho <3'
• tags: historical, royalty, BDSM/S&M, femdom, comedy, smut 🔞

Manhwas with the word: “tyrant” or “tyrannical” or “tyrant’s” in the title.
