If you wanna cry. This is for you. All are happy ending. 

I absolutely adore the grovel in novels, particularly when it's done well.... more>>

If you enjoy novels with great groveling scenes, such as "Before Jamaica Lane" by Samantha Young, "Unwanted Wife" by Natasha Anders, and "Kiss an Angel" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, then you might find some satisfaction in the ones listed below. THESE ARE THE LIGHTNOVEL VERSIONS!

I hope you can find some that you like!

(These are rated according to my preferences) <<less

Stories where the main character attempts to run away, but, inevitably get caught; desperation dripping from toxic wounds caused by the male lead.  ... more>>

I tend to read novels with dark haired Fl's, so i made this list for the people who are like me:DD

Different genres, some i have read the novel or manhwa version and some are just added because of the FL's hair color. <<less

angst you asked? some characters meant for prison?... more>>

bxg <<less

Involves ditching tr*shy leads and savoring their suffering, regret, and rolling in the mud afterwards. Angsty ✨✨✨

No truly tragic endings will be included.  These are melodramatic romances filled with angst, misunderstandings, difficult circumstances, separated because of taboos, etc.  Tons of drama and the MLs often start as tr*sh.  You've been warned.... more>>

I emotionally torture myself and then heal it with the happy ending.  I have ~issues~.  There's no smut (but sometimes naughty).  ...my smut rom list is way better (my heart is a ho).  This list is updated regularly. <<less

List of novels I plan to read #2

Just added the ones that had a pretty cover and interesting synopsis hshshhs

far from completed

My list! :)

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

When you wait for him to start begging

Before reading this novels make sure to grab a tissue!this novel will gonna make u angry,cry,sad!it also contains misunderstandings!

- > K-novel
- > transmigration/remembering a past life
- if the above applies, the ML is usually the OG ML (or has SML-type personality)
- > Naive/cute/kind FLs
- > FL either falls in love with ML or avoids ML like the plague
- A LOT of regret themes.
None of these are smuts. Also, many of these are dropped/indefinite hiatus lol, I like to keep them in the list anyway so that I can buy them later on RB or KKP. ... more>>

The reviews consist of mostly gripes and complaints, but that's just a result of how much I peruse them in enjoyment. <<less

FLs hates by her family, husband & in-laws
