If you want a good, crying, cathartic session - Read. 

Mostly BG romance with smart FL and ML. I have read lots of books , but these are the ones I would go back to reread in the future and recommend to anyone. I love complicated plots, dark romance, tortured love with some angst. I lean more towards historical for now till I find a good enough modern to add to this list. Plots may contain uncomfortable scenarios but each book is worth the read. ... more>>

Interesting plots, good writing and smooth translations are very important to me.  <<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>>

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

List of straight/hetero books that I’ve read which has infuriating ML

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
