Danmei novels to cry to at 3am
Danmei novels to cry to at 3am
Just a bunch of reccs :) please beware of the TW for some novels! The novels in this list are mainly on the angsty side and some fluff. Contains both historical and modern day novels. Some novels in this list are completed while some are close to being completed OR i MTL’d them and thought they were good.
PS; i actively try to avoid things that portray characters as ‘small and innocent and childish’ (they usually describe the shou like this) so this list may not have novels like that!

I quite liked this type of writing, although at times the flowery writing made it a bit tedious to read it’s a really good book.

The first person narrative threw me off but I got used to it. If you hate first pov then I don’t suggest you read.

We gave almost similar taste, have you read the little mad man guide on acting good and rivals in rebirth, they are good too.
Im searching for more angst but not ml abusing mc do you have recommendations?
I haven’t read those yet, I’ll check them out.
Recently I read Married Thrice to Salted Fish, there’s some angsty parts in it and Antidote by Wuzhe is a good one too if you haven’t read these two yet you should check them out!
@ranhasaniqof2000 I tried read them but didn’t like the pace of the plot so I dropped them halfway. I kind of like the angst caused from misunderstanding between the leads but most of the bl are either about raping and being r*ped angst or the kind of too fluffy!

@Laoninag00 I agree! I actively avoid stuff that are tagged with r*pe victim becomes lover. I like fluffy works but sometimes it’s too much. I also hate it when they make a character (the shou mostly) seem so..childish and innocent and small.
It’s good that i found someone else who shares the same preferences as me!
@ranhasaniqof2000 OMG, same problem!
That’s why I always exclude cute protagonist’s tag when I search for novels and most of those kind of novels disappear.
But there are some novels I read that’s the though the protagonist is kind of weak and small but not annoying like “the sidekick prince” if you haven’t read it, try it. It has moderate angst with good plot and the male lead is charming.
Korean bl novels go into categories either smut/angst novels or the heavy plot/angst type and the later is the minority of the Existing novels.
Wanna add me to discord? So we can chat and I wonder if you are a girl? Majority of the readers are girls here.
@Laoninag00 sure, what’s your discord? I’ll add you. I’m a girl. You?
Also i’ll check out the novel you recommended
@ranhasaniqof2000 I a girl too, you can add me through my username: bengong#2229.
Recommend me novels if you find new one.
@Laoninag00 alright~ i requested you!
