Angsty and sad webnovels because I'm a sucker for angsty stories. Yes, I really really love abusing myself so join me in this self-abuse-by-angst cult... more>>

(ErHa, look what you made me do. You made me a masochist (⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠෴⁠ ⁠༎ຶ⁠) )

Most of these webnovels are completed. They may have BE/HE. I have Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder, so while some of these novels may not be pure angst but they have fair share of heart-clenching moments that leave lots of room for more sad imaginations. <<less

Welcome to my holy relics,mortal.

MC transmigrates. Maybe they’re in the webnovel they were reading before getting hit by truck-kun, or they died due to overwork and ended up in the game they played before dying. EITHER WAY, the mc ends up in another world.... more>>

This list is probably all over the place with different genres since a lot of novels involve transmigration, but most (if not all) of these novels are pretty good imo. I’d at least suggest trying any of the ones listed :) <<less

Good reads! According to me... more>>

You become picky if you consume any type of media for a long time. Your taste gets specific and sometimes you feel as if the... more>> things you liked in the past have become something that makes you hurl. Well after 5 years on this platform I have compiled this list of my favourites. Maybe you'll like it and maybe you won't but I hope you can give these wonderful novels a chance. <<less

An ongoing list. I'll add more as I find/read them. If anyone has any suggestions for good ones please lmk!! ... more>>

Trying to only include novels with completed translations. There is one exception on this list, but a large part of it is translated and there's readable MTL for the last part.

I'm going to include a little "Is it actually 1v1?" note on each one, since it's pretty common that the harem ends up just being one guy lol and it can be nice to know in advance imo.  <<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
