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

Beta MC, Alpha x Alpha, Female alpha x Male omega, and other kinds of untraditional omegaverse dynamics, worldbuilding, characters, and so on. Suggestions are welcome.... more>>

#01-40 BL. Alpha x Alpha, Beta x Omega, etc. Also Omega top x Alpha bottom.
#41-74 BL. Novels with worldbuilding and/or characters somewhat untypical for omegaverse (subjective).
#75-91 GL.
#92-96 BxG, GxB. Includes Female alpha x Male omega and FL on top.

In the comments are people whose work I've compiled here; all credit goes to them. If any of them are reading this, please contact me if you want me to make the list private. <<less

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.

Any new Manhua recommendations will be welcomed and greatly appreciated ^-^ <<less

This list contains worth noting BL novels that are recently complete in translation here in novelupdates. All novels are rated 4.0 and up and have an interesting premise so it should be quite decent enough to read.... more>>

Enjoy reading! <3 <<less

A series of novels that revolves around angsty beginning stages, followed by regrets (gong/shou suffering from his actions) and the long awaited “Happy Ending”. (Some may end in tragedy)... more>>

Do seriously recommend reading if you are into these types of plots or purely wanted to read the wife chasing parts (cuz why not) <<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

Danmei adapted to manhuas that have official English translations (completed/ongoing/discontinued) + where to read them (status included: ongoing unless stated otherwise). Most manhuas are R15 even when the novel's genre is yaoi.... more>>

Novels/manhuas that are printed or announced to be printed are put on the first page of the list. Works written by the same author are put together. Novels are sorted by their popularity.

Since the list reached 1oo positions, I created its second part, however they will be _both_ updated if and when new titles appear or get licensed, with new title's place based on the novel's popularity and/or whether the author's other works are on the list already. If you know danmeis with official English translations of their manhua adaptations that are here on novelupdates but not yet on my list, please let me know in the comments.

Welcome stumbling passengers or veterans to the second installment of this list. 

Somethings I never had the chance to note because I (also) filled up the description boxes’ capacity limit in the first list. 

1. I have not read all the novels on this list YET. All read novels are on part 1 with the according reviews. I made this list so I could have something visual to look at when looking for good quality novels to read. I judge "good quality novels" by seeming reviews and ratings or perhaps the book has an interesting premise you don’t usually find.

2.  I look for a capable MC and a subjectively respectful ML, but that doesn’t necessarily mean every book I put here fits that requirement. Once again, there is always exceptions. 

3. I don't like looking at the rating of the novel when there are barely any reviews. Thus I look at the reviews. If the reviews (even scarce) like it, it has potential. Thus, FME indicates that a novel has been added regardless of NU rating. 

 ****The higher the expectations for BL novels I have not read, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *." <<less

This list range from the best of the best to the most corny and cliche type of shit(my type of corny) to traumatic and to comedy etc etc. From the most wholesome to the smuts. You know the usual Sugar, spice and  everything nice. 10 on 10 would totally recommend. Give these bls a chance. ... more>>

I dont think ive forgotten anything. Might update later. Enjoyyyy <<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

Neither O/A pretending to be beta, nor beta turning O/A.

this list is for male yanderes in danmeis (mostly ones that I have read)... more>>

most of them should have finished TLs, otherwise: support the authors by buying the raws ^^

NOTE: this is NOT a list for those who are expecting silly clingy dogs. Expect lots of mental illness and unhealthy dependency. <<less

Omegaverse that they are not the typical AlfaxOmega couple. They are mostly BL/MLM novels but there are also GL/WLW and GB/WLM.You will find novels: Chinese,... more>> Taiwanese and Hong Kong, Japanese, Korean, etc. <<less

 《 Spoiler Tag: All HE~ 》 NOT SORTED <<less

Since I did a list of fluff, here's the other end of the spectrum. The dog's blood you need for days when drowning in tears... more>> is needed. Some lighter, some really heavy. All stories complete. <<less

All AB novel I know/read

*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

Stories with twisted, abusive characters and romance that can definitely not be considered healthy, but may be oddly endearing in their own way. The kind... more>> of I-can't-live-without-you-but-I-won't-hesitate-to-hurt-you-to-win-you. Dogblood and yandere characters, either one of both characters are twisted and/or somewhat crazy. HE and sometimes a development towards a more wholesome relationship by the end. Quality writing., mostly danmei but some are BG romance or ABO. <<less
