A compilation of my favorites that give the melancholic and/or dark vibe in alphabetical order. No worries it becomes wholesome in the end—well, most of them do, anyway. Maybe. Who knows?

This list contains a diverse genres/themes. I read historical, contemporary, wuxia, etc. I am especially into slice of life. I am going to try to add only novels that are fully translated. I do hope this list gives you some novels to enjoy. I'll try updating once in a while! ... more>>

PS I haven't updated this list recently because I am reading novels from webnovel. Discovered some good and bad ones. haha I will get back to novelupdates soon coz i have currently 275 completely translated novels in my reading list O_O  <<less

No bad endings, may have spice mixed in some of them although "some" of them may include *rape* (if interested they are at the end of page 1, not that there are many)... You are WARNED!!! ... more>>

Still updating the list. Wait for my good news!!! ^^

Novels you should stay away from, if like me, you have a fragile heart who can't handle too much angst. In these novels there are... more>> major misunderstandings and lack of communication between dense and detestable main characters. They either cheat on their partners or force themselves on them(rape). Some of these stories are cliché and some are awfully complicated with cliché plot twists. <<less

the title is what this list about :')... more>>

only BG  <<less

Caution: Lots of dark themes so please be careful!!! Extremely mild spoilers as well!!!!!!!
Ranking is decided by how much I cried, not by how good it was because it'll be very hard to decide XD... more>>

The human emotions are depicted so well. They talk a little about the human mind and feelings. Brought me to tears, but they’re so beautiful. Some are lighter, some a little more heavy. The journey to a beautiful romance isn’t easy. Life is complex, and it is bitter and sweet. By the way... the ranking doesn’t really matter. 

I wanted to rank this according to how much I cried, but sorry it doesn't seem to be working XD No worries, it isn't like some sort of dog blood drama. It's just...tragic but with a happy end. It has a lot of sweet, fluffy and funny moments too!!!! in fact, only certain part hurts. Some doesn't hurt as well! In fact,  it was so beautiful and sweet I cried  <<less

Some are work on progress and some are irregular and stopped updating for a while now.

Novels that definitely made me cry more than once while reading. Bittersweet stories~ <<less

Novels that help with sleeping. Though they may have undesired side effects such as eye bags, dehydration, running snot, and untimely realizations about the pointlessness of everything (occurs mostly after 1AM) amongst other things.... more>>

Disclaimers:

•Results may vary from person to person.

•The angst is of wide variety; I just listed every novel I knew that evoked the side effects listed above.

•I've only included the novels that I was mostly emotionally invested in, finished or not finished.

•Everything is HE (Happy Ending) unless explicitly stated otherwise.

*Everything is probably Danmei since I'm still only recently actively trying to expand my reading list. <<less

I just really don't know into what other list's these could be categorized. So I decided that putting them all together would be the right... more>> move. <<less

"I'm not really into tragic/sad BL novels, it's not my cup of tea"

I read all kinds of genres so this list will contain books that’s happy and fluffy as well as tragedy. Personally, I prefer to read books with completed translations but sometimes I got the time to wait :) ... more>>

It depends on your mood which you like but this list is what I read and recommend I guess~

Please do keep in mind of the tags on each novel because in BL, r*pe is a common plot so read the tags!!!!

This list will get up dated once a while when I finish reading a few books. I will also add in my own ratings and a short review if it’s possible

PS. If anyone has any tragedy books to recommend, please comment! This list is not any in order!  <<less
