    I have read Call of Cthulhu, The Rats in the Walls and i feel like "Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint" dont have there place in this list.

    Another title that incorporates a lot of Lovecraftian elements is Haunted Places Live by Lianxi Lianxi. Her other work, Falling Into the Abyss, also takes on similar elements. Both are BL. Thank me later ;)

    Yeah, calling them "lovecraftian" is a bit too much...

      For me it feels that people do not read the description. If a novel here does not look like horror/mystery in nature, it means that novel has other lovecraftian elements, such as literal mentions of lovecraft characters.

      @Sparteh But it doesn't make it a "Lovecraftian" novel. The mythos of the Lovecraftian tales are almost 100 years old. It is obvious that some books would take the name of a god or monster from H.P. Lovecraft, but it does not warrant the name "Lovecraftian" in my opinion, Lovecraftian horror is a sub-genre of horror fiction that emphasizes the cosmic horror of the unknown.


      P.S. ("All of this is just my opinion")
