Not necessarily mean they're  bad just... I don't want to have 'traumatic' experience while reading ... more>>

It's either hv tragedy, angst, (makes u want to waste piles of tissues) draggy/unnecessary drama, boring plots + characters and so on.  <<less

Novelas donde los protagonistas tienen una actitud indiferente, negativa, depresiva o asocial.

novel started sad/tragic/angsty but ended with a happiest ending as if nothing happened or Fl did not suffer all time and left me dumbfounded. I am saying BE but mostly I meant Fl to move away from Ml and starting her new life or at least not still madly in love with Ml. I am not hating the novels (the ones that not included r@pe) I just expected their ending different.... more>>

I hoped and wished for Fl to die in all of them that would better for than them being with these a**holes.

I would have beg to authors for them to kill the Mls <<less

( boys' love novels, the list name says it all. i enjoy reading them as i support them. )

WARNING: ONCE YOU FINISH THESE NOVELS YOU WILL BE IN DEPRESSION!!!... more>>

The list is super short since i don't cry easily or get super attached to many characters.

(after reading these i cry everytime i see something related to them and obsessed with anything related) <<less

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

ENSTARRIECORE?!

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

It's my favourite though ... more>>

This is a collection of short stories and Oneshots that i find really enjoyable or hurtful to read. Mixed with dog food, toothache, dog blood, and too much bloood from my blackened heart.  <<less

Too sad to read without tearing

List of angsty danmeis I've read and enjoyed, full of delicious, excruciating pain. Most of them are set in ancient times.

Boring, cliche story / dull character

( continuation for my first josei list. most are well known and some are low rated, as usual i pick them based on the cover... more>> and title. ) <<less

enjoy the next 24 hrs :))

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

Female leads who don’t give a flying f*ck

I love depressed and s*uicadal woman or she could be mentally ill I would love to read. I will be editing to the list. I order them fav to least fav. I love angst novels but hate ones with abuser Ml.... more>>

(I don't wanna read him doing the most horrible thing to her and when she finally free, her going back to him because apparently she loved him. Obey me, my beloved oppressor, cry, or better beg, betrayal of dignity...every one of them has the same plot, same type of Fl&Ml but only changing is how they abuse her, sometimes even that is the same. So I suggest you all to stay away from them, if you get frustrated Fl with Stockholm sendrom, forgiving Ml just because they love him....)

♦️ >>> depression level <<less

I sacrificed my eyes for this list lol. There will be a few novels listed that did not have tear-jerking scenes but they got my heart wrenched so I have to put them in here ;)... more>>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-JrbNg_0tQ listen to this song while reading will really set the mood <<less

No description.

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
