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.

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

Therapy costs more than these novels.... more>>

**A better name for this list would be Tragic Romance Novels (18+) but I wanted to emphasize on the process of grief I regularly experience while reading this stuff. 

-----------------------------------------------

I'll still be implementing a rating system from **1-5 with 1 being just sad at some parts to 5 being downright horrific**

**In addition, rather than the summaries I put short explanations for the rating. In all honesty, it's better for you to ignore them. Protect your mental well-being from my inane babbling and mild spoilers. <<less

Nothing too edgy or boring. Just simple, quality romance stories. The story is not the only thing that needs to be good, but the translation as well. I also look to see if series either have a lot of available chapters or are new but consistently updating. There is no specific order to this list.... more>>

Currently looking for someone with similar tastes and standards, willing to help curate this list. <<less

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

Anger meter getting high up into the clouds inducing novels. How misunderstandings, miscommunications, hateful third parties are always in the mix. ML's need to STEP... more>> UP!!!

Comment below, if you know such more novels  <<less

Most time loops aren't on NU either, so here are some to look for:
1. Mother of Learning
2. The Perfect Run
3. Dear Spellbook
4. The Years of Apocalypse
5. Reroll - Worm meets timeloop.
6. Butler to Core Lord
7. Master of the Loop - time loop to messiah on the wall against the zombie hordes
8. The 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - Victorian mu*der mystery in a body swapping time loop
9. Truth Seeker - a Mother of Learning mimic. Not original, but it is fun and decently written.
10. The Menocht Loop - a fusion of inception's idea of layers with a time loop. Great start, falls off later...... more>> /> 11. Replay (1987) - one of the original loop novels with s*x, drugs and rock and roll
12. The Great Core's Paradox - ouroboros LitRPG
13. RE: Monarch - a prince in a loop... unfortunately, the writing is pretty bad...

And more I have not yet read:
1. The first 15 lives of Harry August
2. The bleak walker
3. Darkmatter/recursion
4. Strange Life of Ivan Osokin
5. 11 birthdays
Skeleton soldier who couldn't protect the dungeon (webtoon)

Time loop stories. Some of these can get pretty dark and deal with mental trauma, as well as questioning reality and whether a person is losing their sanity.... more>>

Many of these also have an element of mystery surrounding the time loop, and I do not want to say anything that might spoil them. So I am just giving my overall impressions.

Novels are in order starting with my favorite at number 1.

As always, I'm open to new novel suggestions to add. <<less
