I'll try to add the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o... more>>

P.S: I just created a 2nd list cause this list is full, so if you want more recommendations you can check that list. It will include all novels which didn't fit in the 1st list! Have a great day! <<less

the list where all the small pp mls are ... more>>

and the list where i hate every single one of these mls

if the male lead has "always loved them but has had to be mean to protect them"...that's called emotional abuse and they deserve death.

the fls should have gotten together with someone they actually had chemistry with--another woman in the novel 

...yes i am reading these bc i have bad taste mind your business   <<less

When you wait for him to start begging

I think they all range but they’re mostly transmigration and all have beautiful cover art 

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

i hate it here, but i'm here all the same

Emotional pain, angst, tragedy, the kinds of stories that make you feel pain through your heart and down to your finger tips 

[ML'S HAIR BUT NOT BLACK]

There are some with angst. You know I rarely read BG cause I'd rather the FMC be by herself instead of with a man so... more>> don't come here with the intent of having a lot of BG. I'll also add non-romance, but I'll let you guys know. Wow look at my pitiful amount of BG lol <<less

Just my favorite novels everrrrrrrr 

I will do it one day.

i loooove apathetic and detached MCs! Hope you enjoyy too

i really love historical chinese novels but only those set in nobility/imperial family, some modern world are nice too Strong female leads and loving male leads ONLY( Not all in my list have this trope though)... more>>

these are just the ones i've read, the top ones are my favorite and the bottom ones I haven't read yet <<less

KR novels I have finished reading and some ongoing ones~

Part 3, it’s a continuation of my previous list. Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8369/ Honestly just a cluster of different stories that fall under this title that I enjoyed. I... more>> love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming themes that incorporate romance. I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated. During my free time, I’ll add scores between 1-5 on how worthwhile they are to read. 1) Only read if you’re bored to absolute tears; 2) it’s an okay read, some dissatisfying parts, not a priority at all; 3) Not particularly bad or good, just something to pass the time when you have a long trip (it won’t feel like an absolute waste of time or make you feel particularly dissatisfied after reading); 4) Good read that you should read; 5) Excellent/MUST read. If the score contains a .5, then it could go in either direction of the whole numbers it’s closest to. Keep in mind, none of the novels listed here are awful. Some are definitely better than others, but all of them have their own merits.  <<less

If only i could stomach MTL, then i probably wouldnt have to suffer like this *sniffs sniffs... more>>

"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

To be read stories that have to do with mental illness (from what I’ve heard)

Depressed, suicidal or detached fl. Recommendations are well appreciated;)

No description.

As you may have observed, I definitely am a sucker for 'reincarnation & transmigration tropes', some yandere in the happening, with a dash of romance in... more>> medieval setting; and with a pinch of smut & fluff.  <<less
