Depression, social anxiety disorder, etc. Not really psychological novels but the characters still hold on no matter the traumatic or problems they did face for long time. Of course, as fictions, they will have support or even unconditional supports from other characters. ... more>>

Story not necessarily full of angst or dog blood dramas.I found them (the novels) beautifully written and the translated, both authors and translators did great jobs.

I create the listto make me easier in finding them later … for re-reading, because I’m a sucker for this kind of touching tales.

Edit. Notes: mostly BL <<less

Where the female lead or POV character have limited lifespan, died, and/or run away.  Downright depressing, much anguish... some parts or whole of the story. The feeling when your heart wrenched and cry, so bitter~... more>>

Similarly like Clannad, a classic heart wrenching anime~ <<less

90%read. They are here 'cause I found the synopsis angsty or some chapters in the novels i've read made me cry and sad. Anyway sadness is there.... more>>

Includes: psychological, tragedy, abuse, unrequited love, depression, complex family relations, hated protagonist, child abuse, sickly characters, i-love-you-and-so-if-you-use-me-i-don't-mind type, etc... among others

Most of then are really short (<100) and though many of them have tragedy, many have happy endings too.  <<less

*in no particular order*... more>>

-pain

-BE or HE is fine but there must be obstacles in the middle...., angsty

-crematorium

-ML doesn't care about the MC from the start (or ML does care but doesn't know how to express it) but once MC is gone from their grasp (death/ coma/ near-death experience/ breakup?) they finally realize what they let slip from their fingertips. 

-or after all the disappointment and hurt, MC doesn't care anymore and it's the emotionally constipated ML's turn to chase.

*recommendations are appreciated (very) <<less

A list of novels you shall read. Especially if you are a sucker of romance and hot MLs just like me. Enjoy~

No description.

The Protagonists who are the epitome of "I'll be with you through thicks and thins" . Accompanying your loved one to get cured or healed(physically... more>> or mentally) along with love. <<less

Too sad to read without tearing

Like the title says... Wanna be depressed together with me? Very well, read these novels. Let's cry lots. And if you want to recommend something... more>> to me, go ahead and leave a comment. <<less

This is exactly like what it sounds. Sometimes my depression overrules all other feelings, and these are the stories that I gravitate towards in those moments.... more>>

This list is a mixture of a bunch of genres. <<less

all completed !! i'm actually not a fan of angst lmao but i still thought "i might get depressed tomorrow and I'll probably need this" then it piled up in my to-read list and so i built this nest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... more>>

note: u might need to expect some of the stories to have a bad ending <<less

A list to keep track of the novels that hurt my heart... and/or hurt the MC/ML hehehehehe the more suffering, the better. Self sacrifice (SS) is always welcome. Recs appreciated! Some novels have not been read yet and are added due to the recommendations of others.... more>>

Includes novels with empty protagonists, broken protagonists, and sick protagonists

Stories differentiated by my own terms:

[Apathetic], [Sick], [Tragedy], [SS] [Depressed], [Transmigration], [Revenge]

Also: [Unread], [Reread-> read multiple times]

Organized so my favorites (tragic quick transmigrations where MC breaks ML's heart repeatedly) are at the top, then all the death craving characters, then the mistreated and sick villainesses, then the apathetic and SS children appear <<less

SPOILERS... more>>

One of the main characters either kills themselves or wants to kill themselves at some point in the novel 

In no particular order <<less

List for novels where the female lead has an illness/disability/is sickly that is either obvious or subtle (such as disabilities around mental illness) and has significance to the plot. May include novels where this is only for a portion of the story. ... more>>
