I find television to be very educational. Every time someone turns it on, I go into the other room and read a book.

Tragedies that leave an empty feeling after reading.... more>>

Some makes you cry your heart 
Some makes your feel sad
Some just leaves a void

Comment below, if you know such more novels  <<less

Oh, i can't add anymore (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)  i already make the sec list \⁠(⁠ϋ⁠)⁠/ <<less

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

My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<less

...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

that feeling when you're so into as novel and then the translators drop it ... more>>

Mostly completed novels because cliffhanger in angst wont ever let me live my life in peace... more>>

Tw: Many of these novels may contain mention of self harm, depression, bullying, abuse, r*pe and su*cide. So, please please read reviews and tags properly before picking up a novel.  <<less

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/80301/?ft=yes (pt. 2 of this list) <<less

Involves transmigrated (to another world), reborn (as another person in the same world) or rebirthed (second life) characters who did better than their previous counterparts.... more>>

May be light, sweet, heavy, angst, comedic, or anything in-between. Adventure, fantasy, action, romance, what have you. Characters may be OP or not, female or male, and may even be gender-bent (which is the closest I could get to slash).

The bottomline is parallel world and characters that are given a second chance. Of course, the plot should also be convincing. Hence, while I've already read lots of transmigrated / rebirthed characters, placed here are only my recommended ones.

Note: List done alphabetically to prevent bias. Will be updated from time to time. <<less

Just to keep track of what I’ve already read

shedding tears, ugly crying, not being able to get out of bed for a whole week bc of the depression, u name it, you'll be able to find it here :') (and with spicy reviews too !!!!)... more>>
