Warning: smut
This cold hearted killer couldn't help but fall in love. I didn't like him at first, but he grew on me, and he very much belongs here.
Warning: Smut
It seemed like a light hearted comedy, then about halfway through, I discovered our ML belonged on this list. He went from an 8 out of 10 to being a solid dime.
He doesn't seem to actually love her in the beginning, which threw me off... but nah, he absolutely does. Supposedly did then, too (I think the author was too lazy to make it look hidden so they just later claimed ML hid it). Our murder-happy psycho is sweet as pie to our depressed gal. Our FL deserves that love.
The ML is a babe and starts off justifiably cold. ...but I simp hard for the older evil brother, Dion. He has no right to be that fine. The wild little brother didn't grow up so bad, either.
The main couple has serious forbidden Buffy-and-Angel vibes, but the actual villain has me hooked, too. He's awful and I hate him, but for some reason I simp hard and wished he could magically turn good and be happy. I couldn't forgive him, but dang... he was written so well. Incredible read.
Okay, so this one has a solid incest-ish component (step siblings). If you're expecting me to have strict morals... You're wrong. How did you get this far and still think I'm normal? A hot yandere stepbrother is absolutely going to suit my tastes. (Disclaimer: not in real life.. for me anyway)
Soft yandere vibes. The ML also acts pretty cruel for a while, with reasons of course... but... good lord, he's amazing every step of the way. I think he's been my phone's background for like 4 months. Felix is LIFE, even when breaking your heart.
As an added bonus, his sister is like a friend-version soft-yandere that makes you wiggle your eyebrows going "...was there a potential yuri route?"
Despite being the biggest red flag imaginable, he manages to be the greenest of flags as well. I don't think I've ever seen "good guys" be such healthy boyfriends.
But the boi also be licking his katana in the ceiling rafters while protecting his gal, sooo. I'm a big fan.
Issei is a 17 yr old bully turned tsundere... falling for a divorced chick in her 20s. He's a total brat at first, but he proves he's worth it.
He mostly starts as a "less evil" villain that she wants to use as her ticket out, and things develop over time. There's only a bit of heat in this, but the novel has smut.
