Therapy costs more than these novels.... more>>

**A better name for this list would be Tragic Romance Novels (18+) but I wanted to emphasize on the process of grief I regularly experience while reading this stuff. 

-----------------------------------------------

I'll still be implementing a rating system from **1-5 with 1 being just sad at some parts to 5 being downright horrific**

**In addition, rather than the summaries I put short explanations for the rating. In all honesty, it's better for you to ignore them. Protect your mental well-being from my inane babbling and mild spoilers. <<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
