Betrayal Revenge

Some of my favourite Danmei authors works that I enjoy in my free time

BL novels that are actually good. They're in random order!... more>>

( Some of my descriptions are still under construction :c ) <<less

Overlooked and underrated novels that are really unique in terms of either characters, world, story or even several at once and don't have glaring faults.... more>>

Lots of novels are interesting at first but are destroyed by either insufferable characters or a terrible story. Not these. And if you know others like them, PLEASE let me know!

Bad stories and characters are everywhere, good stories and characters are rare, but truly UNIQUE stories or characters are unforgettable and THAT is what I'm looking for after reading hundreds of titles.

People often complain that many novels' characters are flat and fixed. Well, here they are not just really well written, but grow and change over time.

No reincarnations into tr*shy young masters, no sect branches that have bigger branches behind them with sects behind them with bigger sects behind them, no fighting 10 ranks higher enemies because MC is so special, no repeating the same nonsense again and again for thousands of chapters, no all-knowing MC on a rail to the next key-item, no arranged marriages and no idiots to be killed by MC for a back and forth of revenge with family->sect->kingdom->world againd and again.

I've read many hundreds of the most popular titles and they won't make the list because of mentioned issues, or are new and I don't know of them yet.

I made a second list with titles that didn't make it because of flaws but are still a good read.

Ranked in terms of being well-rounded and polished. <<less

(be warned I will only add angsty novels that catch my eye ....i will probably read them..someday...probably...maybe......when onions die....ya)

Female protagonist gets a second chance through reincarnation either in her own body or a new body

My list of danmei novels that I truly love, with amazing plot and world building, interesting characters, and good translations! ... more>>

I really like unique stories so I try my best to find stories with unusual and refreshing plots that are different, though sometimes clichéd and trope-ish stories will be included if executed well, also since it’s kind of my guilty pleasure ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ 

I really enjoy tragedies with happy endings, psychological and angst so be prepared for dog blood in some of them! I include both popular and underrated stories, though I’m definitely trying to dig around the more underrated ones I’ve read and newly discovered ones to recommend.

I’m a very picky reader so I don’t add stories frequently, but still regularly so!!

I update this list when I find a book i enjoy extremely!! <<less

Ecchi

This is a list of novels that, I have read and believe it shows most of the traits ,I have given in title.

...but I still keep reading stories that end in tragedies! T-T ... more>>

Tragedies do not always have a sad ending or bad ending. But they are always very distressing.

I don't particularly like it when the protagonist struggled so hard to overcome so many obstacles and his (or her) end is unnecessary or undeserved tragic death. (Ooooh, if a main character dies, he (or she) must die with all the glory.)

I deal with terminal illnesses well, as they are always moving stories. T-T

Oooh, pitiful love stories and regrets... When they are a very moving story, they are just worth reading.

(Spoilers, spoilers are always welcome to calm anxiety. -_-) <<less

Real nice plot and Handsome and Cool leads  ↜(╰ •ω•)╯ψ 

All the good romance books I've read and wish someone suggested when I was new here. Mostly completed ones. I hear by declare that this list is 100% tr*sh free ;) 
Ok so on the list after like number 55 or so, the quality decreases. I mean it's arguable whether it's good or not. But honestly I liked it. I would say read the latters after you got nothing to read.... more>>

Will gradually add short reviews  <<less

[For untranslated CN novel suggestions, please refer to the Comment Section of this list]... more>>

Romance novels that will make you reconsider the pre-established order of things, that shine by their realism, that demand that you acknowledge cannon fodders, that hinder you in condemning villains. <<less

No description.

Novels that help with sleeping. Though they may have undesired side effects such as eye bags, dehydration, running snot, and untimely realizations about the pointlessness of everything (occurs mostly after 1AM) amongst other things.... more>>

Disclaimers:

•Results may vary from person to person.

•The angst is of wide variety; I just listed every novel I knew that evoked the side effects listed above.

•I've only included the novels that I was mostly emotionally invested in, finished or not finished.

•Everything is HE (Happy Ending) unless explicitly stated otherwise.

*Everything is probably Danmei since I'm still only recently actively trying to expand my reading list. <<less

An archive of revenge novels because I could read these novels again and again even if the same formula is repeated. For the obsession of... more>> angst and revenge novels. <<less

The tags are unreliable, so no need to pay attention to it. However, there are few that’s angsty. Anyway, did it for my own. ^+^
