A list to keep track of the novels that hurt my heart... and/or hurt the MC/ML hehehehehe the more suffering, the better. Self sacrifice (SS) is always welcome. Recs appreciated! Some novels have not been read yet and are added due to the recommendations of others.... more>>

Includes novels with empty protagonists, broken protagonists, and sick protagonists

Stories differentiated by my own terms:

[Apathetic], [Sick], [Tragedy], [SS] [Depressed], [Transmigration], [Revenge]

Also: [Unread], [Reread-> read multiple times]

Organized so my favorites (tragic quick transmigrations where MC breaks ML's heart repeatedly) are at the top, then all the death craving characters, then the mistreated and sick villainesses, then the apathetic and SS children appear <<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. ^+^ 

...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.

Historical Novel I have read

Either I've watched them as dramas or read them fully as novels, crying at least once.... more>>

Sometimes I get too enthralled in the stories and cry for no reason, so I'm sorry if some of these don't match the list title for you.

If I google translated it and you can't find it, try searching for the title in the original language, not the English title.

Any suggestions? Feel free to comment as I do like to cry. <<less

❤️Not all of these have cut and dry bad endings, some have happy endings (as in the main cp end up together) but depending on the novel and your preferences you might find it more bittersweet. Either way I felt it had a strong enough emphasis on the tragedy part to put on here!

♥Always being updated with new novels! (If you have any suggestions please leave a comment!)

❗️TW❗️ Many of these contain potentially triggering content such as; sexual/physical abuse, mental illness, in*est, and su*cide. Please read the tags to make sure you are comfortable with the topics being presented! <<less

-pain

-BE or HE is fine but there must be obstacles in the middle...., angsty

-crematorium

-ML doesn't care about the MC from the start (or ML does care but doesn't know how to express it) but once MC is gone from their grasp (death/ coma/ near-death experience/ breakup?) they finally realize what they let slip from their fingertips. 

-or after all the disappointment and hurt, MC doesn't care anymore and it's the emotionally constipated ML's turn to chase.

*recommendations are appreciated (very) <<less
