a list of crematorium/wife-chasing/gong regret/scum gong novels ft. some with misunderstandings! i wanted an angst tag but there isn't one ;; if you have any suggestions, i'd love to hear them in the comments! included are also some novels that aren't necessarily crematorium but may still make your heart hurt (in a good way) from the misunderstandings and relationships!... more>>

the wife-chasing novels follow a general pattern of: MC loves ML but ML treats MC badly and/or does not reciprocate > something happens to MC, such as death, amnesia, sickness, or he falls out of love with ML > ML belatedly realizes his feelings > ML tries to chase the MC and win him back

please do mind the tags of some of the novels, as some of them are BE! <<less

Some need to be in a jail-room, others need to be in a therapy room, and the MC needs to be in a courtroom to get a restraining order against them... Unless he's into it, in which case, who am I to complain? ... more>>

Edit: Woa, I never expected that many users to like obsessive MLs, feels great to see those with the same 'guilty pleasures' as mine (I don't feel guilty though, not because my taste is good but because I lack shame). We're out here bonding over unhinged guys lmao. Also, what's your ideal obsessive ML? I'm quite curious, so feel free to comment it below. 

Personally, I prefer MLs who are usually ruthless and somewhat cruel to everyone but the MC, whom they treat with utmost love, care and respect, of course they're still 'toxic' in a way they wouldn't leave the MC alone or ever separate from him, but to make him stay, they'd rather pamper him to the hell and back than use torture or abuse. A big plus if they're paired with sly and morally grey MCs.

Edit 2: if you see random words censored, it ain't me. NU just recently started doing that out of nowhere :/ <<less

CN novels where the MC has disabilities or sickly characters, or past trauma. Novels for MLs are in a different list. Contains spoiler. ... more>>

BG/BL. Not much world hopping or historical novels. 

Feel free to recommend any others :D <<less

Original YAOI is genuinely PWP. Eventually, plot-filled yet spicy stories (without being blatant p*rn) started cropping up. Unfortunately one list is not enough so I've decided to divide them. I swear! This is the last list I'll create. **BASICALLY PLOT-CENTERED W/ "CARS"** I'll mostly include those that have great stories.... more>>

Keywords: UNCENSORED, NO BLACKOUTS. SMUTTY. This list is the milder version of my original smut list. So yeah, most will generally be "Safe for work" except for a few scenes. "Generally". LOL. Novels that are at least 80 to 98% plot. Some only have one or two s*x session but still it's all detailed. And the s*xual tension, ofc we can't forget the sexy s*xual tension. Yum.

- Takame.
❗❗Hot /hentai/ PWP/P0rnylicious BL all here > https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/45641/

ps: I will include a few smutty stories that is not really detailed marked as ✖️SOFTCORE.  <<less

Novels that have regretful ML, family’s, etc. I love novels like these since they tug my heart strings.

BL with a tragedy tag (ಥ﹏ಥ)

A lot of good dog blood is buried below the ratings bcos it's an unfortunate fact that a lot of NU users only rate novels according to fluff amount w/c made it harder for drama fans to look for good angst.  Common tropes: #wife/husband-chasing crematorium#angst #drama #torture #regret #character development #grovelling #(some)redemption  #(some)tragedy and other triggering issues. ... more>>

#REAL Crematorium. Just search around for full explanation but impt. point is: THEY ENDED UP WITH ANOTHER PERSON. For those who had a sadistic liking seeing a scum ML grovelling but still fail to take MC back, THIS IS FOR YOU.

 Warning: Most stories here are only for the strong-hearted. However, those I regard as "bad (or messily-written) dog blood" that I really cannot tolerate will not be included here  

I will indicate if it's bad ending. If it doesn't have the #BE tag, it's automatically a happy ending.
If you wanted to cleanse your tear duct every now and then, check the ones tagged with #tearjerker. You're welcome.

PM me for raw/MTL links <<less

just your typical dog blood novel where the gong treats the shou unkindly and only realized his feelings after the shou left /died. ... more>>

You can check out Shui Qian Cheng's works, her novels are really well-written. However, all the gongs are absolute sh*ts. Each one is worse than the other but I love it *chef's kiss*

Not in order

⚠️ Please do check the tags before reading. <<less

Most have the following trope: pretty boy captured by the emperor/prince and forced to be a concubine.  Others marry due to imperial decree.
Some harems. Some dubious/non-consent, but not always. I will note if it's consensual.... more>>

I annotated the ones I read. Those are on top. The most recent books I found are on the bottom.

Also Recommended: "The Captured Crown Prince" aka "The Prisoner of the East Palace" aka   东宫阶下囚 by 作者:六妖.  https://www.sto.cx/mbook-186546-1.html. (dubious/non-consent).

NOT ALL NOVELS LISTED HERE HAD A HAPPY ENDING! <<less

After reading war prisoner, I have a thirst for stories with the Male empress genre ( with happy endings *wink). So this is my list so far.... more>>

P.S - I traditionally avoid anything with a whiff of a sad ending, since I've always been the optimistic type who feeds off of happy endings to survive.

P.P.S - I added only the good ones. If the story is not good or boring I put notes underneath. and the ones that are not worth reading, well I didn't add them. <<less

Boys love angst~~... more>>

*TW* Some/most of these stories will contain ABUSE, INVOLUNTARY CONFINEMENT, r*pe, and other graphic descriptions of violence. Some of these are seriously tragedic and may cause tears or elongated periods of agony .

I was probably sobbing over this at 2am at one point, , and I will update summaries as I go.

Please let me know if you have any novel recommendations you think fit this list! Happy reading ^^ <<less
