stories that have a lot of angst and tragedy but also hope and kindness

There are interesting and confusing theories in these futuristic plots, though not all of them.

My most anticipated reads(unranked). Mostly fantasy and/or tragedy.

i cried myself to sleep reading this

Angst reigns supreme. *metaphysically slaps list* this bad boy can fit so much trauma and tragedy... Please proceed for self-inflicted emotional damage. ... more>>

Literally, serious suffering ahead. Wild how much of this list overlaps with my "favourites" one. 

In alphabetical order for (my) convenience! And perhaps yours too! <<less

I have a little list in my little heart full of yellow things. This list has BL, Yaoi, Smut, yeah. From the censored to the... more>> most hardcore out there. <<less

I love reading about struggles of mental health (not episodic, but a constant theme in the novel)... more>>

P.S. I accept recommendations. <<less

No description.

the story's main driving force (out of potentially many other driving forces, but significant enough to define the protagonist) is preventing suffering/harm to a sibling.... more>> not necessarily sad, but often something tragic has already happened to the family :] as such, there's lots of regression, second chances, and sacrifice across these novels. <<less

some of them has a slow pace like genius club, kingdom's bloodline and unsheathed but satisfaction and pay off from reading it was pure joy... more>> to me and also reminder that this is my personal favorites so yeah, maybe it suits you, or it doesn't.  <<less

POV is mostly from the Gong

Novels that have, unfortunately or fortunately, made me cry reading them.... more>>

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) <<less

I'll visit here when I need to shed some tears, don't mind me.

for not so good reasons... more>>

Angsty and sad webnovels because I'm a sucker for angsty stories. Yes, I really really love abusing myself so join me in this self-ab*se-by-angst cult... more>>

(ErHa, look what you made me do. You made me a masochist (⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠෴⁠ ⁠༎ຶ⁠) )

Most of these webnovels are completed. They may have BE/HE. I have Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder, so while some of these novels may not be pure angst but they have fair share of heart-clenching moments that leave lots of room for more sad imaginations. <<less

Stories i enjoyed. Various themes. Varying length
