Actually cried because of these

Actually cried because of these
Novels that have, unfortunately or fortunately, made me cry reading them.

The pattern you'll find is family/found family or death, whether by experience or through conversations. Conflicts related to family or things such as disappointment, rejection, or an overall heartfelt/heart wrenching topic is included. Deaths that happened because of how tragic it is, how unfair i perceived it to be, or the general situation of it is included.

I'll attempt to put stories including (albeit uncommon) romance near the bottom since its usually a gamble if its found family. i can also cry to romances, mb that theres some BL... Ill try to find sad GL novels...

There are novels that don't necessarily follow the above and are most related things like mental health or anguish. So they wont necessarily be found family/friendship in a way even if they have elements of it. I can't exactly quantity everything that makes me cry okay?

There are also novels that are below 4 stars. I actually do sift out novels that have made me cry but arent actually that incredible of a story. So this list plays as both a catalogue of what made me cry and a catalogue of what I found is recommendable. (Literally all the novels that i wrote more than a paragraph on cause im trying to convince ppl to read it)

My shame(?) list

Honorable mention: Children of the Holy Emperor (i love the story but no tears have come yet :( ); Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work (same reason)

Rough as f*ck to read through, i didnt sob but definitely eyes watering cause of the first round. Machine translating it I wasn't really sad since I understood what the author was going for. This story is very much a "holy shit" type of read. That drama, mystery, and tragedy trifecta have a field day in the story.... more>>

Its a rollercoaster, at points youre laughing your ass off and at other points its just tragic as f*ck. Like there would just be this absolutely TRAGIC mini arc and I had to pause because of how upset it had me. And then the next arc is all "ahaha lets have a whimsical run this life" like YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME. But also the fact that the main character very clearly defines how he is the only person who truly remembers and carries the weight of saving the world with every new piece of information he learns and every new successful strategy he has to reimplement every run. The author approaches this genre... more>>

I reached 193 in the raws.. and wow. Actually what the f*ck is going on w idol writers. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GO SO HARD. Author did not PLAY with psychological. The start of the novel is typical for an idol novel but theres a but. The first thing is that its about a office worker that is working in a black company that is not pushed into being an idol. The author also just drops foreshadowing and hints randomly and when sh*t hits the fan it literally pieces together right then an there.... more>>

    SSS su*cide Hunter. So good, great character development, many tears. MC is creepy and weird at start and goes through massive character growth as he leaves his basement as an obsessed fan and gets some intense real life experience.

      @yuh_YeeEt Well, i bawled like a baby after the Tingen and Backlund arc. Try to stick it out until then, LotM has a slow start but its a masterpiece

    Have you read “Theatrical Regression Life”? It’s by the same author as “The Artist Who Paints Dungeons” I think you’ll really enjoy it!

    I actually started reading how to survive as the second son of mage family 

    But I'm getting confused about the character gender ?

    Like Julia is male or female ?

    Mc and his friends are males right ?

      The mc and his friend are guys. I forgot who julia was but should be a female. I dont particularly remember the translation quality of the team that picked the novel up since i machine translated the rest of the chapters.

      Hopefully you like it even with the weird translation
