A list of best xianxia, wuxia, xuanhuan and historical novels in my opinion. ... more>>

Power couples, angst, lots of pining and slow-burn. <<less

Angsty and sad webnovels because I'm a sucker for angsty stories. Yes, I really really love abusing myself so join me in this self-abuse-by-angst cult... more>>

(ErHa, look what you made me do. You made me a masochist (⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠෴⁠ ⁠༎ຶ⁠) )

Most of these webnovels are completed. They may have BE/HE. I have Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder, so while some of these novels may not be pure angst but they have fair share of heart-clenching moments that leave lots of room for more sad imaginations. <<less

List 1 - in no particular order - want to read/reading/have read

BL (of all genres) that leave you with a paradoxical feeling of completeness and emptiness after finishing. Completeness because the plot, characters, romance, world-building, etc.... more>> are all so well fleshed out. Emptiness because you either want to stay a bit longer with the characters in their world, or rather, you know that the story has reached its satisfying ending, and that this is where the art should end. <3 The BL & danmei world is a treasure trove of all sorts. Let's enjoy~ other recs welcome! <<less

"So many stories are glorious, so many heroes are victorious. But this story shows the other side that is rarely explored. This story is not happy, it is not light. There is no way to survive it without shedding tears, but in a way, the ending lifts the heavy feeling a little. Therefore, it was totally worth it!"- @Liri... more>>

[One of the review on Mulberry Song]

Liri's words pretty much sums up what I'm trying to accumulate in this list.  <<less

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 collection of all the short and long BL tragedies I’ve read for those who want to cry their heart out~~... more>>

❤️Not all of these have cut and dry bad endings, some have happy endings (as in the main cp end up together) but depending on the novel and your preferences you might find it more bittersweet. Either way I felt it had a strong enough emphasis on the tragedy part to put on here!

♥Always being updated with new novels! (If you have any suggestions please leave a comment!)

❗️TW❗️ Many of these contain potentially triggering content such as; sexual/physical abuse, mental illness, in*est, and su*cide. Please read the tags to make sure you are comfortable with the topics being presented! <<less
