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

Comment if you have any recommendations to go in this list

Spoilers will be included in some descriptions (bc some stories needs explanation on why they turn angsty) but they will be in caps to warn you ahead. <<less

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

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

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

frustrating, yet worthwhile reads 

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!

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
