This is not in order...

A collection of series and one-shots that include horror and s*xual themes for those of us that enjoy many kinds of thrilling reads. Note! The s*xual theme doesn't automatically refer to smut. Any form of s*xual behaviour (including on- and off-screen interc**rse, s**tty thoughts, s*xual tension, etc.) counts and appears on this list.... more>>

WARNING: some novels include themes of r*pe and have non-con acts. Make sure to read the tags carefully in case these things make you feel uncomfortable. 

If you have any suggestions for novels that could be on this list, then please, let me know. Happy reading! <<less

Generally stuff I find “good”

A lot of good dog blood is buried below the ratings bcos it's an unfortunate fact that a lot of NU users only rate novels according to fluff amount w/c made it harder for drama fans to look for good angst.  Common tropes: #wife/husband-chasing crematorium#angst #drama #torture #regret #character development #grovelling #(some)redemption  #(some)tragedy and other triggering issues. ... more>>

#REAL Crematorium. Just search around for full explanation but impt. point is: THEY ENDED UP WITH ANOTHER PERSON. For those who had a sadistic liking seeing a scum ML grovelling but still fail to take MC back, THIS IS FOR YOU.

 Warning: Most stories here are only for the strong-hearted. However, those I regard as "bad (or messily-written) dog blood" that I really cannot tolerate will not be included here  

I will indicate if it's bad ending. If it doesn't have the #BE tag, it's automatically a happy ending.
If you wanted to cleanse your tear duct every now and then, check the ones tagged with #tearjerker. You're welcome.

"Horror Books I Enjoyed"... more>>

I am drawn to horror stories that have little to no romantic subplots. Ghosts are my favourite subject within the genre. The books listed below are not ranked in any particular order.

"Popcorn Read": A term I use to describe a novel that I found so captivating that I couldn't put it down, regardless of its quality. Some books just have that effect on me. <<less

(Based on the 피폐물 tag in KR webnovel world) According to Namu Wiki's definition of 피폐물: "A novel genre in which the main character goes crazy because of the desperate circumstances around them. Whether it's about love, ill-fated family relationships, or misunderstandings, the MC is constantly abused, tormented, and forced into a mentally and physically hopeless situation."... more>>

Despite being highly regarded in KR thanks to their raw, genuine depictions of pain, sorrow and conflicting feelings with excellent narratives, this genre isn't well-received in international fandoms. NU readers tend to prefer novels without triggering elements, and translators also rarely pick up this genre because of how difficult it is to translate. So this list is made to honor the brave translators who bring out something new and challenging, and also to compile some works for readers' reference.

You can refer to this list either to try out some dark and angsty reading, or to mark it as a 'red flag' list never to be opened. Readers' discretion is advised; remember that the works don't reflect the authors' real-life mindsets and that translators aren't responsible for your mental health. <<less
