These novels are a bit deranged, but in a very realistic sense. The main CP has either believable coping mechanisms, or mental illnesses based on... more>> their past. There isn't an ML or MC who was abused that got revenge "all according to plan" with no mental issues (basically the MC or ML pays a price from the beginning and only gets their just rewards after fighting tooth and nail for it). There is fluff but its an angsty fluff and a oof-ouch-pain feeling when they need to support each other. <<less

Depressed, suicidal or detached fl. Recommendations are well appreciated;)

BL tales that are set during the apocalypse or deal with the undead, zombies, plague, etc.

Special associations for ghosts from all corners of the world. About their legends, their myths, their past, and their tragedies.

Translated c-novels, lots of emotional damage. Strictly danmei, and prepare your tissues! I'll add more as soon as I finished another on my reading list. 

This list has both BL and BG novels. ... more>>

Beware that not all novels have the satisfying groveling scenes from ML. 

I included some BE novels where I felt that the decisions MC took was very fitting even if there is no groveling from the ML or if the MC is dead to see that part. 

You’ll find most of Shui Qian Cheng’s novels who is well known for her 188cm group of novels featuring angsty novels about scum going groveling for their mistakes.

I only included the novels I was satisfied with.

Caution: Enjoy these novels, but avoid romanticizing the ML or fantasizing them as great lovers. Most of the MLs are just awful people, except for my beloved Lan Zhan, who is the epitome of kindness, Justice & all the good things. Remember, in real life, those who treat others poorly are likely to treat you the same way or mistreat you repeatedly will continue to mistreat you. Those who are controlling, manipulative, and obsessive never end with happy endings. Change in adults is difficult, even with love. Look into real-life cases of abusive partners to get a reality check.

Do keep that in mind. Hope you enjoy the novels below. <<less

books that squeezes your chest with pain making your eyes water a little,,,,, ending in some type of hurt w comfort or no comfort at all... more>>

Some stories may be really cliche and frustrating but everyone have different choices so decide for yourself. 

Most of them here are full of angst or just breezy read. Fluffy and tragic everything's here. <<less

Tragedy traGEDY TRAGEDY
The tragedy may not necessarily be between the couple (misunderstanding, death, miserable past life, dog blood drama, etc); but it exists and... more>> is VERY REAL <<less
