Looking for Tragedies, but Not the Idiotic Kind. Keep the Characters’ Values Straight

I don't want angst for the sake of angst. I like stories with sound values that are relatively realistic. Historical or modern settings are both fine, something like He Is in Yunnan and One and Only. My eyes are already swollen from crying...

#Exceptional Writing: High-Quality Novels You’ll Read from Start to Finish!!

Novels That Capture Human Nature in All Its Complexity

None.

Looking for a Logic-Driven Novel with a Highly Intelligent Protagonist. Nothing with Clunky Plotting, and Preferably Some Romance.

No rebirth, no transmigration into a book, no Mary Sue, no entertainment-industry stories, and no quick transmigration. Fantasy or modern settings are fine. I’d like something imaginative with a touch of horror. (Please forgive my picky taste.)

Urban Slice of Life, Realistic, Masterpiece

Urban Fiction

I'm looking for some urban novels, like Ye Lingtian and Li Yuxin, or Xia Meng and Han Dong. The protagonist shouldn't have supernatural powers or cultivate immortality, and shouldn't be pretending to be poor either. Ideally, the books should be long. Thanks!

Looking for Stories About Two Men, Both Strong, Well-Matched, and with Reasonably Sound Values

Looking for a story with two male leads, both strong and evenly matched. No baby talk, no brainless fluff, no System. Apocalypse or horror themes. I’ll follow my eyes over my morals, but don’t make the story too twisted.
