(be warned I will only add angsty novels that catch my eye ....i will probably read them..someday...probably...maybe......when onions die....ya)

Stories that will give you a smile.  Little to no drama.

do you like cheating? abuse? humiliation?sacrifices?... more>>

do you also like redemption? second chances?  healing? 

In short, do you want to drown in tears. Torture yourself with the characters' misery and cry along with them? This is for you.  <<less

For Non harem readers

This is a collected novels that amaze deeply in my journey a a reader. My wish is that, no one miss these wonderful novels.

Good and touching stories where the ML has a special condition (be it that he has a mental, physical, mythological or otherworldly condition) so the Female lead (MC) has to discover this and learn how to deal with it to be together.... more>>

The list goes from the lightest to the heaviest depending on how much the ML´s condition affects him and the MC in everyday life.

Remember to like or leave a comment/suggestion after checking this list :) <<less

How can we not love heart-warming and fluffs? 

Some reincarnation and isekai novels that is mostly consists of villainess noble girls getting revenge and being on top of their game and MC's who... more>> go on adventures and being selfless and have a growing family whether he likes it or not. <<less

Most of them already got the adaptation for manhwa or manhua

Major hurt/comfort simp. ... more>>

Been hurting all my life with no one to comfort me so reading a hurt/sickly MC being worried/doted/cared for/loved on really soothes my soul or something twisted like that. I'm trying to find meaning behind all the suffering. Hmnn yeah that sounds about right, I wanna read meaningful suffering.

SSSSE (Self Sacrifice= sacrificing themselves for others/a greater good) (Self Suffering= is hurting/carrying burden/enduring hardship on their own) (Exposed= other people find out leading in increased positive action/attention towards them and or it affects other people in some way so there is meaning to the suffering)

Absolutely love the vomiting blood and everybody worries trope. MC in pain? It's okay baby it's all worth it there will be people that will take care of you or make up for it. Fluff stuff. Spurting blood is fun and all but psychological hurt also rubs me right, stuff like taking blame then the other party regretting and making up for it? Angst stuff. Mmm working too hard or getting hurt in place of others is also nice.

Romance. No romance. Straight. BL. Some I read using mtl.

tl;dr I just wanna talk about the novels I've read but highlight the heart abuse scenes :)

*Recommendations are welcomed but not always accepted to the list ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Why all my favorite main characters have suicidal tendency...

fls that i love so much because they are so dumb that it's so cute. ... more>>

these fls have all made me laugh, and are my favorite out of all the novels i have read. 

i'm a supporter of women's rights and wrongs

No waste of time long stretch harem novels only unique novels.

No just ML and FL and antagonists only, who are painfully dependent on each other to build the plot. No BG, no CP, no BL,... more>> no Harem, no Ecci. Captivating plot, idea and interesting, lively characters who want to empathize and whose life you feel. Look at top-list because I don't know how to describe novel properly to interest anyone enough to read what I recommend, but the numbering was meant as it is. Check for genres too please. <<less

Either a male or a female, they are both cool. This list contains cool female(?) MC only.

A collection for my sadistic side lol—the title of the list basically sums up what's listed. ... more>>

SSMC = Self-Sacrificing MC

Misunderstandings = MS  <<less

"Enjoy one, enjoy all, my collection's quite the thrall!" (❛◡˂̵ ̑̑✧)... more>>

Ps: Misunderstanding is my guilty pleasure. („ಡωಡ„) <<less

This one is limited to my favorites. Not all tags apply to each but there are patterns in what i like. If you got something for me write it in the comments. I am always looking for stuff (((o(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)o)))... more>>

Subjectively sorted by like <<less

ah yes, the misunderstandings and cognitive dissonance... more>>

The list is ranked from most like Cale's personality to the least like Cale's personality.

I'll use the following criteria (doesn't have to meet them all):

1. Found Family (FF) = Collects friends and allies like it's the easiest job in the world (BONUS [FF+]: if said friends/allies care about MC so much that they are MC's family truly)

2. Self-Sacrificial (SS) = coughing up blood/dying/getting hurt gang (BONUS [SS+]: if friends/allies heavily disapprove of MC's self-sacrificing habits)

3. Self-Deception (SD) = the Cognitive Dissonance that makes us stan cale (BONUS [SD+]: if MC is an unreliable narrator/undermines themself)

cale: I'm so selfish...i just wanna be lazy and slack off. 

cale: *saves the world*

cale: hold on....where did my slacker life go?! 

4. Slightly Tsundere, but mostly Calm (TC) = in other words, that Warm Heart

5. Strategic Type (ST) = plans out things to better their situation

6. Crazy Bastard (CB) = would do things (BONUS PTS [CB+]: if those "things" benefit others) that only someone with almost no self-preservation would do

7. No romance at all (No Rom) = not looking for no one, just friendships, anything is allowed, as long as it is PLATONIC THROUGHOUT the story

BONUS: Comedy (C), GAP MOE (GP) = yes you don't know how much i love this trope so much, System Administrator (SA) is involved <<less

A treasure chest full of rare gems I read. 

what it says on the tin. ... more>>

personal thoughts do not correspond with the ranking. 

feel free to recommend other similar novels as well!  <<less

Vomiting blood? Overworking yourself? Self injury? Always choosing the self sacrificial route as plan A? Misunderstanding? Of course.... more>>

Anyways, here's a compilation.

PS: Self sacrifice that I mean in this list doesn't necessary mean it's for other people. Can be MC just constantly putting themselves at risk. <<less

My list of novels where the MC is thought to be a good person/tragic character (even if they don't think they are/even if they aren't).... more>> All these novels include female MCs (I have an alternate list where all the MCs are male).  <<less
