Yes, its juts a random list of novels some good ones, some peak, or some mid. <<less

From the most popular to the hidden gems. There's no particular order. Just peak. ... more>>

Focus on novels where nothing is what it seems with truly unique and spectacular protagonists.

I'll update it every time I discover a hidden gem to share.

A word of advice: There's no perfect novel that everyone will love. Read it and judge for yourself. 

This list is a selection of novels that guarantee an amazing level of quality, NOT the typical OP protagonist with a harem of 100 women and brainless secondary characters. 

Peak novels that are not in novel updates: Shadow s*ave                                                    The Warrior's Ballad <<less

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 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.
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 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 , Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Most of then will have no romance or romance as a sub plot. Mostly focusing on found family and bromance. Mostly self sacrificial MC. The... more>> list is not in the order of ranking. Just adding something which I really enjoyed reading and wouldn't hesitate to read it again <<less
