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

There are some novels here that has disturbing contents so please pay attention to the tags. 

Perfect for us masochistic fools who just wants to experience pain 'cause thus is living *sigh*

To satisfy my rotten heart....
Including those books which doesn't have smut tag but contain NSFW scenes..

Collating BL with smut rated 4 and above.  Either a great plot or great s*x!!

I really LOVE this. Taboo. Sibling. Romantically involved. Yess!!!! I'm sick sorry not sorry lol! I finally get around creating list after so long. If you like it as well, please take a look at the list. It might suits your taste too.... more>>

It contains (unless revised): brother x sister, brother x brother, sister x sister ~ sibling only.

Category: in*est (blood-related), pseudo-in*est (not blood-related but few knew about it so the pairing assumes they are until revealed/remains ignorant of it yet still choose this route anyway), step-sibling romance (not blood-related, they know, are living together since they are family, and somehow catch feelings).

If you have any recommendations, feel free to drop comments. Mutuals will be appreciated!

P.S.: (1) please bear in mind that my remarks on each entry may not be spoiler-free since it serves as a reminder of what kind of story it is for me. (2) English is not my first language. (3) so far, I have yet to include GL. I still haven't found any to rec; I'm sorry to disappoint you if you are looking for it here. <<less

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

Danmei: Historical with Court Politics -> https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/28631/?ft=yes

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

I got addicted to them last year. The reason's I always feel mesmerized by their myriad of emotions that they feel towards FL, especially their despair and misery.

As the title says. Short stories and novels that have an actual story, relatively interesting characters, and also smut to some extent. Quality of smut... more>> varies though. All are stories I've read (and mostly completed). For some of the titles the translation left out the smut - google raw title and you can find some sites which have it. Some authors like Ka Bi Qiu and Shui Qian Cheng also use AO3 (under pseudonyms) and Haitang /Longma (free but you need to register on the site) to upload smut chapters. Otherwise sites like shukuwang are a good source. <<less

No description.

Note: Not in any particular order for now. Will mention if I've yet to read it (which is the majority). So uh yeah.. We here for "plot" ladies and gentlemen. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  Lol no really, we are XD 

Mindless smut with little to no plot will be removed if I'm aware of it.
