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

Only Top 3 are in chronological order.... more>>

*  = grain of salt and Korean novels suck.  <<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

Collection of sad bls. No particular order. 

For the nights where we lay down the bed, seeking solace in angst stories.

No description.

Sad BL novels.... more>>

The kind that make you feel sad just from reading the synopsis.

Slowly building the courage to read them one day.  <<less

Either I've watched them as dramas or read them fully as novels, crying at least once.... more>>

Sometimes I get too enthralled in the stories and cry for no reason, so I'm sorry if some of these don't match the list title for you.

If I google translated it and you can't find it, try searching for the title in the original language, not the English title.

Any suggestions? Feel free to comment as I do like to cry. <<less

All of the novels in here are shoujo romance fantasy (villainess reincarnation/transmigration or regression with a few exceptions), mainly KR and JP. The female lead... more>> must be depressed to some degree, and depression must be represented relatively accurately. FLs may be suicidal, tragic, empty, tired, and/or hopeless. All novels are ranked four stars or above. NOTE: I am still working on this list, suggestions are welcome. <<less

I'm trying to find all the novels I've finished reading so that I can finally count how much of a veteran I am

Only korean novels with male protagonist. ... more>>

Criteria:

The MC has to be the "bottom" (even if it's just a shounen ai, body type doesn't matter) 

The MC is smart, sharp (but not enough to realise the ML's feeling) and mentally strong (traumas are welcomed, weak side is the chef's kiss) 

The MC isn't necessary have to be a good guy. He just can't kill !!!innocent!!! people/animals/other creatures. 

The MC doesn't care about his body condition and is physical weak/got an incurable disease/suicidal thoughts (which commes from his immortality) /got hospitalised regulary. 

The MC is strong enough to fight back (with his brain or/and his "fist"). 

The ML is posessive/obsessive/kinda toxic, but definitly dangerous. Warm hearted are also welcomed,but has to be an "alpha". 

The ML tries to protect the MC, but a lot of time he misunderstands him. And get angry and anxious bc he is worried. 

The ML is also smart and "annoyingly" good-looking. ->self confident

The story must have a goal: character development/ruling the country legaly/saving everybody/curing the sick MC. 

There is min one person (usually the MC) who is reincarnated/ regressed/transmigrated/got a system. 

The place  is medieval/ fantasy/hunter themed/guide themed/omegaverse. 

Spicy scenes are okay, but fan service is a must. (that is why there are shonun ai s in the list, or novels which just give the vibe of BL)  <<less

Novels by this author 

The rules of my other list, are applying to this too, maybe the novels don't meet the criteria every time, but most of them were fun to read. ... more>>

Most of them I finished in MTL or korean website (where I also read way too much other novels) 

The golden rule: Korean webnovels with a MALE MC.

(Even though there is a few expectations which weren't kr) 

The order of these novels got nothing to do with my own preference.  <<less

Tragedies, abuse, and bloody drama ....
With no hope for redemption.... more>>

BL for those who love to be tortured. <<less

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....)

༺☆༻ Must read this at least for once in your lifetime ༺☆༻... more>>
