Very Intense but one of the closest to reality. There is no sugarcoating, no false hope, just as dark as our society is. I cried from start till the end. one of the best I have ever read.... more>>

I call it extended, detailed version of "mulberry song" but with less poetic flair.

Nice ml? Don't expect. He is an emperor: arrogant, calculative, ruthless, domineering. And it's based on imperial palace so untainted healthy relationship is next to impossible. They don't trust each other but they manage to find love even without having complete confidence. ... more>>

If you like world building, supernatural, harem, lengthy novel that is angsty for the purpose of being angst. Like you won't get time to catch... more>>

First half did fool me to think its typical villainess trope with just added yandere twist. Didnt expect it to turn so angsty and to be more than just a simple story. It gets realllyyyy intense and twisted. also one of the few novel that doesnt force happy ending or the fl to be in love... more>>

A villainess reincarnation in novel trope but that is not rainbows and unicorns. Her life is just pain but she can't even escape that fate. When the whole world rejects you and with one misstep you step on a landmine, how far are you willing to go to survive? ... more>>

Has melancholic undertone and strong tension between leads. Its not explosive kind of angst but consistent poking kinda. Story of a couple from two vastly different class. Might sound like a cliche kdrama plot but it actually shows the failure in their relationship as a result of it, lots of pulling and pushing and star crossed lovers. ... more>>

Also, I have to recommend this one manhwa in the list although there is no novel for it. Olgami/Trapped by haemuri. It is just insanely good. There is thriller, there is angst, there are hot ml and fl who are also cool af, and there is s*xual TENSION. 100 chapters and not once was I bored. A true slow burn josei with well written characters and plot that has strong push and pull with a hint of danger, mystery and lots and lots of charisma. In other words, READ ITTTT!!!! For hot vampire, badass fl, their sexy chemistry and mu*der escapades.
