ML wrongs the MC in some way, then regrets when the MC has already lost his love for him. Cue the chase!... more>>

(MC may or may not end up with ML) <<less

I am very picky when it comes to what I'm going to read. These are some of the novels I loved!!... more>>

NOT IN ORDER <<less

BL stories with lots of tears and heartache. Scum love interest (who probably doesn’t deserve the MC) pays for his rotten behavior and suffers. He had it coming.... more>>

List growing steadily when I have time... <<less

You know how the minute you see the “tragedy” “drama” “unrequited love” tags you’re like, NO this is not a novel I should read. ... more>>

BUT somehow you end up reading it anyways?

This is a list of novels that will make you get the feels, the heartache and also not want to put it down.

You have been warned.
Read at your own discretion. 

I repeat you have been warned.

Includes tragedies.

My list of danmei novels that I truly love, with amazing plot and world building, interesting characters, and good translations! ... more>>

I really like unique stories so I try my best to find stories with unusual and refreshing plots that are different, though sometimes clichéd and trope-ish stories will be included if executed well, also since it’s kind of my guilty pleasure ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ 

I really enjoy tragedies with happy endings, psychological and angst so be prepared for dog blood in some of them! I include both popular and underrated stories, though I’m definitely trying to dig around the more underrated ones I’ve read and newly discovered ones to recommend.

I’m a very picky reader so I don’t add stories frequently, but still regularly so!!

I update this list when I find a book i enjoy extremely!! <<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

All BL stories with extreme amount of angst. You know, just in case you woke up today and was like “I feel like hurting and crying over fictional characters”. ... more>>

AND BEWARE 

Some are HE and some are BE. But like a villain, I’m not going to tell you which is which  <<less

These are collection of tragic novels associated with unrequited love, betrayal, tragic fate, abusive character, and inhuman treatment. Most novels is about MC who find their misery is enough, want to get away from toxicity, and cherish what their tattered soul left. Not an easy journey ofc, since these worlds were created for MC to suffer. However, MC's spirit to be free is what highly valued. ... more>>

The other novels are purely angst that hurting the heart and shivering the bone.

There are many more heart wrenching novels i've read but not listed in here. I can't stand humiliation without victim ability to prevail it over and preperator's redemption. So this type of angst not listed in this list.

ATTENTION
⚠️Descriptions cointain spoilers⚠️ <<less

I found novels that contain pairs that are alpha x alpha, alpha x beta (which so far my favorite of all the pairs as it... more>> seems more realistic and healthy) omega x omega and so on are so much better than the traditional omegaverse, at least that's my opinion. Anyways, enjoy.  <<less

Maybe I should actually read some of these

my fav horrorr/tragedy <3 (beautifully written)

This is the list of scum gong and their karma danmei. Yes, cliche, dog blood, drama, angst. Why not?... more>>

And this is what I’ve read and I think good enough to be recommended. But this list focused more on scum gong and their karma, a satisfying redemption arc. If you wanna read the angsty ones, heavy angst to main character death, check my other list “ANGSTY Danmei to be Read At Least Once in a Lifetime” <<less

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

*in no particular order*... more>>

-pain

-BE or HE is fine but there must be obstacles in the middle...., angsty

-crematorium

-ML doesn't care about the MC from the start (or ML does care but doesn't know how to express it) but once MC is gone from their grasp (death/ coma/ near-death experience/ breakup?) they finally realize what they let slip from their fingertips. 

-or after all the disappointment and hurt, MC doesn't care anymore and it's the emotionally constipated ML's turn to chase.

*recommendations are appreciated (very) <<less
