Major hurt/comfort simp. ... more>>

Been hurting all my life with no one to comfort me so reading a hurt/sickly MC being worried/doted/cared for/loved on really soothes my soul or something twisted like that. I'm trying to find meaning behind all the suffering. Hmnn yeah that sounds about right, I wanna read meaningful suffering.

SSSSE (Self Sacrifice= sacrificing themselves for others/a greater good) (Self Suffering= is hurting/carrying burden/enduring hardship on their own) (Exposed= other people find out leading in increased positive action/attention towards them and or it affects other people in some way so there is meaning to the suffering)

Absolutely love the vomiting blood and everybody worries trope. MC in pain? It's okay baby it's all worth it there will be people that will take care of you or make up for it. Fluff stuff. Spurting blood is fun and all but psychological hurt also rubs me right, stuff like taking blame then the other party regretting and making up for it? Angst stuff. Mmm working too hard or getting hurt in place of others is also nice.

Romance. No romance. Straight. BL. Some I read using mtl.

tl;dr I just wanna talk about the novels I've read but highlight the heart abuse scenes :)

Notes contain mini introductions of the MC (with information from the first few chapters) and what I like about them. I also add novels that have potential to be great reads with promising MCs. But if they repeatedly annoy me, they are off the list.

Lighthearted, no angst, cute, romantic, warm and sweet. I re-read those often. Only completed novels listed. Some do have a little angst, but it is never between the couple, mostly drama from their past or outsiders who bring them trouble.... more>>

Those novels are well-written, with coherent story, coherent protagonists, coherent fantasy/modern world-building. Coherence and consistency in both plot and character behaviour are really important for me. I am not looking for realism. I am looking for cohesion and escapism. I don't mind characters who are OP, filthy rich, tsunderes, yanderes, geniuses, black-belly, child-like adults, evil demons, amoral characters, shota, obssessive, possessive etc.. i don't mind excessive characters because that's exactly what i like. I like that in Asian lit, those marginal characters are heroes and not defined by standardised morality. In Western lit, i don't meet many characters like that, and i have 45yrs of reading western literature. The only character set i avoid are indecisive protags who have no self-knowledge and keep self-analysing which i find quite boring. IRL, i also avoid such people lol... <<less

Just masterpieces I’ve gathered up. Mostly non toxic relationship, decent characters, and good storyline. It won’t feel like you’re wasting your time reading it.

All types of questions BL novels I’ve read. Most of them I loved/really really liked, some were fine and some were meh. Just look through and find something to your liking. ... more>>

 (all with Happy End; I rate them 1-6) <<less

Whether the MC is trying to change his ways or trying to play the part, the role he's been cast as is the villain!
There may be a few relating to this topic but not specifically the Mc being the villain but that's only if the plot particularly stands out. So for the most part its hopefully just going to be mainly a villain mc.... more>>

Ill try my best to label the ones that don't have the MC as a villain

(The number of times I've written "villain" slightly exceeded my expectations, not by a lot, but still, more than I had in mind) <<less

Otherwise why are you checking this list huh?  •ิ ֊ •ิ... more>>

Recommended raws: 

美人挑灯看剑 — It's chaotic lmao. MC transmigrated into a beautiful troublemaker who died 800 years later in his life but instead of trying to change it he's just like "why should I behave when I can live freely for 800 years?" 

And here's a few of my similar lists in case you're interested. 

But even if you aren't interested, I'm going to do my shameless self-promo anyways. Want to get rid of these ads? Buy spotify premium or maybe sacrifice that one annoying kid in your neighbourhood who always emits such inhuman noises while playing outside, making it impossible to discern whether it's his gleeful laughter from playing with his friends or anguished cries after witnessing Elmo devour his brother.

The novels in this recommendation list are with various kinds of protagonists and male leads, the protagonist can either be a gong or a shou, rags to riches kind of protagonist/ml, or strong to stronger kind of protagonist/ml but, there will be NO WORLD-HOPPING novels in this list. It's not that I dislike it, just, simply not my cup of tea.... yet.

The ML is gentleman and considerate; dots upon his partner; respects him & his decisions; supportive. They can be jealous, possessive or a bit rough in bed (consensual, obviously) but they contain all the above mentioned qualities as well.

I found many MLs who maybe doting but are kinda jerk to their partners or too much bully or tease. They are good in their own terms too but I still like the well behaved type. <<less

Includes transmigration/rebirth stories where MC becomes/is the villain/waste/cannon fodder
Only BL. Sorted in no particular order~

No description.

Most promising novels that I'm excited to read this year! 《《o(≧◇≦)o》》

A list to keep track of the novels that hurt my heart... and/or hurt the MC/ML hehehehehe the more suffering, the better. Self sacrifice (SS) is always welcome. Recs appreciated! Some novels have not been read yet and are added due to the recommendations of others.... more>>

Includes novels with empty protagonists, broken protagonists, and sick protagonists

Stories differentiated by my own terms:

[Apathetic], [Sick], [Tragedy], [SS] [Depressed], [Transmigration], [Revenge]

Also: [Unread], [Reread-> read multiple times]

Organized so my favorites (tragic quick transmigrations where MC breaks ML's heart repeatedly) are at the top, then all the death craving characters, then the mistreated and sick villainesses, then the apathetic and SS children appear <<less
