Not all of these are flawed per se… or at least not in a sense. What I mean by ‘flawed’ is the story itself has some messed up concepts or plotlines. Well, then why did I make this list if there stories are ‘flawed’? It’s not to tell people to avoid these stories, rather it’s share my personal views on them and encourage people to try and understand the story from a different aspect. I don’t need people to agree with my views and opinions, I just want to encourage open-mindedness and the concept of differing perspectives. ... more>>

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a sucker for tragedies. However I made this list because I often find that sometimes, the most ‘flawed’ or controversial stories are the most memorable because they tend to offer something different. 

The tags in this list make me wanna cry ;-; 

Like they’re so messed up it breaks away from my personality so much it feels disconcerting.

Not me making this list in the middle of the night with a tub of ice-cream despite being lactose intolerant :// <<less

A list of BL works with Tragedy, Angst and Drama.... more>>

The levels of pain may vary and the time the angst last too; some may have just a few chapters or an arc of it, a little shorter, but meaningful (painful qwq) enough to be in these list. Others may have an (torture) of angst. (There is practically no dogblood-type of angst, only for a few exceptions.

I will rate them from 1-4 depending on the amount of tragedy or angst they have and how they hit (according to me, at least >.<

1 Being little (side characters tragic stories amd few chapters of pain) angst.

2 Main characters tragic past/story, etc. few chapters.

3 Several chapter or an arc of a Main or important character's suffering, physical or emotional.

4 Suffering prolonged for longer time, emotionally or physically, provoking an severe impact in the way the character sees the world and interacts with it.

Could be HE, BE or OE, however all are satisfyingly painful. <<less

Yes they definitely made me cried. I just love heartbreaking stories and then cry while I read them. so imma just gonna put them here... more>>

Novels where the MC meets the ML and/or close friends before being separated and when they meet again later the ML/friends don’t recognize her, normally leading to them being jerks who regret when they find out who she really is.... more>>

Mostly ones where they meet under different identities but a couple where the soul is moved to another body after a betrayal.

Please recommend any I missed and I will add them! I’m on a kick with this trope. <<less

Do you ever wake up from an unknown dream, crying into your pillow? No? Do you want to?... more>>

If you find yourself in need of a good cry, or you enjoy the feeling of a lump in your throat, or maybe you’re just a masochist. I don’t know. I don’t judge.

Anyways these are the crême de la crême of novels to make you cry, or just feel plain awful. Some of them have an uplifting tone at the end, but most of them... most of them just leave you despairing and inconsolable. It’s awful, and yet we keep coming back to it, hm?

Enjoy. Or don’t. Whatever you feel like doing, yeah? <<less

All the bl storie s i found worth reading :)

1) This list is in order..... more>>

Kudos to all the translators who took time on translating these novels…and to the authors for making these great stories....

[[Random note: What’s up what’s up. It’s me your favorite butter and this is my recommendations list. I have other ones too but this one’s the longest, you can check them out too.]] <<less

These are collection of tragic novels associated with unrequited love, betrayal, tragic fate, abusive character, and inhuman treatment. Most novels is about MC who find their misery is enough, want to get away from toxicity, and cherish what their tattered soul left. Not an easy journey ofc, since these worlds were created for MC to suffer. However, MC's spirit to be free is what highly valued. ... more>>

The other novels are purely angst that hurting the heart and shivering the bone.

There are many more heart wrenching novels i've read but not listed in here. I can't stand humiliation without victim ability to prevail it over and preperator's redemption. So this type of angst not listed in this list.

ATTENTION
⚠️Descriptions cointain spoilers⚠️ <<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

BL novels that make me a crybaby every time I read them. I love reading those novels that I know I will sob nonstop later... more>> and for some reason, I can't stop myself from reading them XD. This list includes novels with some heavy topics and mostly angst and kinda tragic. BUT, I'm not a fan of BE novels so I did not include them here. I want a satisfying ending like the MC or ML didn't die or what. Anyway, prepare your tissues guys.  <<less

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
