i like them for very specific reasons. (i often edit my reviews/switch orders, as a heads up)

No description.

Therapy costs more than these novels.... more>>

**A better name for this list would be Tragic Romance Novels (18+) but I wanted to emphasize on the process of grief I regularly experience while reading this stuff. 

-----------------------------------------------

I'll still be implementing a rating system from **1-5 with 1 being just sad at some parts to 5 being downright horrific**

**In addition, rather than the summaries I put short explanations for the rating. In all honesty, it's better for you to ignore them. Protect your mental well-being from my inane babbling and mild spoilers. <<less

...

i don't believe in the glorification of mu*der but i do believe in the empowerment of women

This is not in order...

The FL goes through countless reincarnations of the same life, in the same world, making different choices each time.... more>>

+ FL with countless transmigrations in multiple worlds/books <<less

she don't start shit, but she can tell you how it ends. don't get sad, get even.

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

Time loop stories. Some of these can get pretty dark and deal with mental trauma, as well as questioning reality and whether a person is losing their sanity.... more>>

Many of these also have an element of mystery surrounding the time loop, and I do not want to say anything that might spoil them. So I am just giving my overall impressions.

Novels are in order starting with my favorite at number 1.

As always, I'm open to new novel suggestions to add. <<less

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

Mc got traumatized past/sad backstory that she endured herself and either ml or someone rescued or heal her or she left the cage herself.... Or... more>> another chance or stuck in a time loop like it repeats again and again  <<less

Novel covers that are my taste.
Judge a book by it's cover, basically.... more>>

Note: Finished editing! Every novel is sorted based on their artist! (You have no idea how long this took for me to do) Enjoy, everyone! <<less

Historical | Isekaid | went back to time | Divorce | Step Mom | Forbidden Love | One sided love... more>>

Note: not everyday but as long as i read a nice novel i immediaty add it here in my list <<less

I will do it one day.

i loooove apathetic and detached MCs! Hope you enjoyy too

No description.

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

Majority of these are completed but the English translation is not.  <<less

After reading a lot of angst novels I found a couple of hidden gems that have just the right amount of angst, with some yandere... more>> and dark romance sprinkled in <<less
