The mc's goal (mostly after reincarnation/possession/transmigration/time travel) is either su*cide, dying of illness without trying to get a cure or getting killed.

No description.

Mostly BL... more>>

Stories with a major focus on main/major characters with illness- either terminal, chronic, a condition or disability (permanent/impermanent). For fantasy stories, fantasy illnesses counts.

 Preferably ones with a happy ending where the characters heal, but even if that is not the case (for eg. they remain disabled), stories where the characters are happy in their life.

Why? Because it feels comforting. <<less

This is dedicated to everyone who love sickly (yet not weak) MC/ ML

These are all BL I would most definitely will- and have -reread.

Small disclaimer; As I'm in poor health, I may occasionally write incomplete summaries/reviews for certain novels or not rank them. It will be explicitly stated if I have done so. I would also like to note that oftentimes I may go off on a rant- this is due to my hyper-fixation on unnecessary details resulting from frustration. I usually end up deleting those rants from my summaries. <<less

Includes novels with empty protagonists, broken protagonists, and sick protagonists

Stories differentiated by my own terms:

[Apathetic], [Sick], [Tragedy], [SS] [Depressed], [Transmigration], [Revenge]

Also: [Unread], [Reread-> read multiple times]

Organized so my favorites (tragic quick transmigrations where MC breaks ML's heart repeatedly) are at the top, then all the death craving characters, then the mistreated and sick villainesses, then the apathetic and SS children appear <<less
