NOT UNLUCKY or DELIBERATELY TRAGIC, BUT ONLY NATURAL. ... more>>

Mc can be defeated, betrayed, disabled, fooled. Teammates can die. Females can be r*ped.  <<less

Not gonna lie I’m kind of a sucker for tragedy and tear-jerking stories. I admit that I cry easily but these novels make it worse.... more>> So if you want to be depressed because you hate yourself then feel free to look through these. <<less

Stories where the ML regrets rejecting/mistreating/leaving the MC. Some examples include:... more>>

1) MC has an unrequited love for the ML and gets rejected.

2) ML breaks up / leaves / divorces MC (for someone else, got tired of the relationship etc).

3) Character 2 mistreats or is very indifferent to MC.

Either way, ML realises he's loved MC all along, regrets his decision, and tries to win her back but she's either 1) moved on with someone else 2) too emotionally closed off 3) MIA 4) dead. Or maybe ML does win her back, who knows.

But basically this list is full of A N G S T

This will be the list where you can drown yourself in tears with. Please do note that in the title it says 'BL' meaning Boys Love. Love between two boys. So if you find that you don't like it, you can go visit my Feels (BG) list.... more>>

Most will include the tragedy tag. Some may end up in HE and some (read: most) may end in a BE.

Note: I do not have a Feels (GL) list yet because I don't read much into there and have not found on yet. <<less

While you read, your tears will flow, but you still can't stop and won't stop. 

...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

Maybe some of these novel are your type.

The title says it all. 

If you're looking for something that will make you cry. Here it is. I don't discriminate novels, so there's both bl and straight romance. 

Ever read a story where the main character died and wondered where to go from here. Well look no further cuz do we have a solution for you. . . Keep the body! ... more>>

Did your favorite person die to get away from you? Don’t want them to Rest In Peace? Does the very thought of not having them around drive you mad? They may not be with you in mind but you sure as hell can keep the body. 

On this lovely list we get to take a dive into true love :/ in order of worst to still pretty bad <<less

This is my personal top picks. If you can get the gist my taste through this list, please feel free to comment down below some of your recommendations too! Thank you and Happy reading!... more>>

What constitutes a good story for me?

PLOT. It must not stray away from its intended plot. No unrelevant arcs just for the sake of DRAGGING the story. THERE MUST BE SUBSTANCE. 

As much as possible, NO RUSH ENDING. The conclusion is the most important. If the story ended with some questions unresolve, the story is a failure. Open endings are acceptable, since it is closest to reality you can get. 

CHARACTER GROWTH. I believe it's one of the essential part of the story. I can stomach s*upid and naive characters, ONLY, if they showed character development along the way. 

LOGIC. No one wants to proceed on reading if they couldn't understand nor make sense out of anything. I'm willing to make an exceptions for WORLD-BUILDING. But there's what you call an out-of-this-world logic and an out-of-this-world s*upidity. The former I can accept, the latter, thanks but no thanks.

ENJOYMENT FACTOR. A STORY MUST EVOKE EMOTIONS OUT OF ME. If I couldn't feel anything while reading, then the writer failed to connect to their readers. Even if the genre isn't my cup of tea, it should be able to convince me otherwise. That's what it means by a good writing.

Thank you. (This list is subject to change) <<less
