Possessive/obsessive lover ~ guilty pleasures list

These stories are like indulgences for me because they tend to romanticize events and themes that shouldn’t be regarded in such a way, but I still find myself reading and enjoying these stories anyways. Some stories are darker than others, but what they have in common is that the ML is possessive and more or less toxic.

I’ve tried adding trigger warnings for sensitive content, but I might not be able to remember every important trigger, so read at your own risk.

Painter of the Night(Yahwacheop)

 9.5(1645 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Byeonduck
Genre(s): Historical / Smut / Yaoi / Webtoons

Possessiveness rating:

Non-con, kidnapping, confinement, murder, dubcon, drugging w/o consent

The Seme is incredibly possessive and toxic, but goes through character development. The ending actually made me a bit emotional.

Not all of the chapters are available on mangago. You can find the finished story by following this link: https://mangatoto.org/title/172976-painter-of-the-night/3105744-ch_1

Possessiveness rating:

Murder, threat of confinement and kidnapping, animal abuse, pseudo-incest

I’ve Re-read this story too many times to count. ML does not want to murder the FL but he does want to confine her and murder others that get close to her. They are step siblings but call themselves brother and sister even when they get married, which is kind of weird. If that turns you off you should probably avoid this manga

Possessiveness rating:

Stalking, manipulation, noncon, sexual assault, blackmail, kidnapping

A really dark and realistic take on stalking and obsession. Definetely one of my favourites and there is a certain element of horror that also makes this story more engaging and deep.

I honestly wish that the story was longer. Sad to see that it has such low ratings.

Sekai o Sukutta Saikyou Yuusha ni Stalker Sareru Mura Musume no Hanashi

 8.8(118 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s):
Genre(s): Fantasy / Horror / Romance / Shoujo

Possessiveness:

Stalking, blackmailing

The ML is not scared of disregarding the boundaries of the FL at all. He will not take no for and answer and it is kind of scary to see how little he cares about her feelings especially because he claims that he ‘loves her”. it is kind of uncomfortable to see how helpless the FL is in this situation. It adds an interesting psychological horror element to the story. Can’t wait for more updates.

Possessiveness rating:

Confinement, murder, sexual abuse, dub-con

——- spoilers ——-

The seme is actually not that possessive, just incredibly clingy/obsessive and does not want to be left alone. He also has very skewed morals because of his isolation. Other than that he is totally devoted, really protective and loving

Genre(s): Shounen Ai / Psychological / Webtoons / School Life

Possessiveness rating:

child abuse, sexual abuse, violence, non-con, dub-con, non-consensual photography, blackmail, manipulation

This story is so good. I love it when two flawed individuals come together and choose each other despite their flaws. The story is quite dark, and their relationship is pretty toxic at times, but there is something very beautiful about their devotion to one another.

Possessiveness rating:

violence, blood and gore, cannibalism, murder

Their relationship is quite interesting, their bond stretches across different timelines and they meet each other during different stages of life, almost like re-incarnations. Seme is an emotionless husk, that falls for the uke and learns how to feel. He is incredibly possessive and volatile. The story can be quite confusing at times but despite this i highly recommend

Author(s): Argon 18, Pih
Genre(s): Drama / Sci-fi / Yaoi / Webtoons

Possessiveness rating:

violence, blood, murder

The uke dies and reincarnates as a twink and does not tell the seme. They had an incredibly close bond before the ukes death, and when the uke returns the seme has changed and become very cold. The seme has not realized that the uke has reincarnated but he seems to be catching on, and shows signs of possessiveness, and treats him like he used to treat the uke pre reincarnation. Has great pacing and writing.

Author(s): Hirune cyan
Genre(s): Yaoi / Adult / Mature / Smut

Possessiveness rating:

non-con, rape, stalking, manipulation, dubcon

The seme sees the uke getting a chiropractic session as a child and becomes absolutely obsessed.

Seme is really freaky and down bad, a true yandere, incredibly possessive and jealous. This is on another level, Incredibly gorgeous art and original plot. Peak yandere yaoi.

Ch 14 is amazing, you truly get to understand the semes obsessive love
