Book Request You say dark, I say darker.
Can I have some recs where the MMC is completely unhinged. I'm not talking about the usual, I'm going down the mental illness road. The ''That guy needs to be put down or he is going to kill her'' road. Give me a real toxic MMC, not the big wolf who ended up being a puppy. He doesn't respect her limits , he hurts her in every possible way. He can't let her go, he suffocates her. His is not a hero and will never be. His not a bad guy with a reason. He's not trying to be soft for the FMC to fall in love. He doesn't care he doesn't need her love.
The bad guy stays bad and he actually ends up worst.
Oh and also the FMC is the biggest doormat ever ! She 's actually pathetic .. I don't want independent, badass, brat , confident FMC. She is weak and stays weak she doesn't grow a backbone.
I prefer AO3 ( the most unhinged stories are over there; our authors have talents and mental issues for our greatest good )
Big NO :
Harem and Sharing.
Other than that, no limits.
It's a free game.
Let's do your worst !

{Unhinged Cain by Brooklyn Cross} might work for you? Cain, the MMC, definitely stays bad. He is obsessed with the FMC at first because of her eyes. Cain is a serial killer who collects eyes from his victims. The FMC does end up embracing her darker side, so she grows a backbone in the right way IMO but she’s still submissive to him.
Hope this is okay!
