Compilation of BL novels that I have read that contain angst, but they range from just making your heart twinge from the pain to making your heart bleed, heal it, then proceed to cut it open again, and heal it again. I'll arrange it from easy to nightmare mode according to MY perspective. My heart is quite puny, so what makes my heart twinge may not inflict anything to you. This is based on MY perspective. 
Mostly HE, but some are BE. I'll write a note on BE so that you don't fall into the trap of never ending heartache and suffering.... more>>

WARNING: Some will contain 'Rape', 'r*pe victim becomes lover', and 'su*cide' tags, so please read the tags and proceed at your own discretion. <<less

A list of heartbreaking novels to read when you feel like you need a good cry

Do you ever wake up from an unknown dream, crying into your pillow? No? Do you want to?... more>>

If you find yourself in need of a good cry, or you enjoy the feeling of a lump in your throat, or maybe you’re just a masochist. I don’t know. I don’t judge.

Anyways these are the crême de la crême of novels to make you cry, or just feel plain awful. Some of them have an uplifting tone at the end, but most of them... most of them just leave you despairing and inconsolable. It’s awful, and yet we keep coming back to it, hm?

Enjoy. Or don’t. Whatever you feel like doing, yeah? <<less

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

No description.

...but I still keep reading stories that end in tragedies! T-T ... more>>

Tragedies do not always have a sad ending or bad ending. But they are always very distressing.

I don't particularly like it when the protagonist struggled so hard to overcome so many obstacles and his (or her) end is unnecessary or undeserved tragic death. (Ooooh, if a main character dies, he (or she) must die with all the glory.)

I deal with terminal illnesses well, as they are always moving stories. T-T

Oooh, pitiful love stories and regrets... When they are a very moving story, they are just worth reading.

(Spoilers, spoilers are always welcome to calm anxiety. -_-) <<less
