The Silk Wolf Pattern Incident

Begging for Angst-Ridden Romance

I've read too many sweet stories, and now they're starting to make me feel sick. I want an angsty story that's both sweet and heartbreaking, but not cloyingly sweet or relentlessly tragic. The leads should have reasons for both their sweet moments and their painful ones. I don't want angst for angst's sake or sweetness for sweetness's sake.

Pure Hatred! No Long-Planned Schemes, Just Genuine, All-Out Rivals!

Looking for books similar to Before the End of the Day. I'm in a reading slump. It feels like so many enemies-to-lovers stories have the male lead plotting everything from the start. It's become so formulaic. I want them to fall in love over time, with a pure-hatred pairing, no long-laid schemes, and something a bit more original.

Two Powerful Male Leads!

Any recommendations for dual-strong male-male stories, where both leads are brave and clever? I'm really out of things to read. Nothing too long, maybe a few hundred thousand characters. Thanks, fellow readers ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄

An Undying Love, YiRen

Looking for books like *Demon Slayer: The Butterfly Who Defied Fate*. Must include Giyu x Shinobu, Obanai x Mitsuri, and Sanemi x Kanae. If you don't like those ships, please steer clear.

Angsty Stories, Angsty Stories

Looking for books similar to Bone-Deep Crisis. It was actually okay, and things get sweet later on.

Witty and Fun, Light and Stress-Free, Full of Flirty Tension, With the Right Values

I want to read books like Ai Hehuan.

Looking for High-Quality Stories With Two Male Leads

I’m not too picky. Just no tragic endings or nurse characters, and good writing is all I ask.

Sweet BL with an Older Protagonist and Younger Love Interest, No Rebirth or Transmigration

Looking for books like *Aren't You Supposed to Be a Cold Commander? Why Do You Cry the Moment I Kiss You? (Falling Beyond the Line)*. I want characters who can actually communicate, with no endless misunderstandings.

Looking for Angst-Fests!!!

Looking for books similar to She Stopped Comforting Him. I want an angst-heavy story, the kind that really hurts. I read I Offer My Deepest Love to the Years, but it didn't really affect me. I'm reading She Stopped Comforting Him now.

Please Recommend Tragedies: The More Heartbreaking, the Better

Looking for books similar to Three Months Left to Live, Let Me Face Death in Peace (Dreaming Butterfly Zhuang Sheng).

Any Otherworldly Fantasy Adventure Novels With a Decent Romance?

Most of the novels being recommended to me lately are rather frivolous romance novels, and I am getting a little tired of urban high martial arts stories. So I would like to find some relatively traditional otherworldly fantasy adventure novels whose main plot is not romance. An ensemble cast would be even better.

Looking for Really Angsty Novels

Looking for books like *Unruly*. I want something really angsty, not the kind that starts angsty and turns sweet later. I want angst all the way through, preferably as an audiobook read by a real person.

I’m Out of Books! Any Well-Written Historical Novels Set in Ancient Times, With a Sensible Plot and No Over-the-Top Drama? No Transmigration

Looking for books similar to *Records of Burning Rhinoceros Horns*.

Looking for Good Romance or Mystery Novels 🙏

Please Recommend Some Good BL Novels

I want mutual first-time partners, pure love, and a sweet fluffy story 🌚

Mystery and Suspense Recommendations

Looking for books similar to *The End of Ten Days*. It’s so good! Bug Boss is amazing! I love this book so much.

I’m Seriously in a Reading Slump

I want books like *Time Stop at the Ready, Even Evil Gods Have to Kneel Before Me!* Please, I’m begging for novels similar to *Time Stop in Hand, Even Evil Gods Have to Kneel Before Me* 🙏

I Don’t Mind a Low Rating, Just Give Me Something That Isn’t Too Short. Please, Everyone

Looking for stories like *Escape from the Apocalypse: Don’t Get Left Behind!!!* Everyone, I can’t find anything good to read. I don’t mind a low rating, as long as it’s not too short, like the one below.

All the Books These Days Feel the Same. Any Fresh, Engaging Reads? I Need Recommendations ASAP

Looking for a Low-Key Historical Novel, No Rebirth, System, or Missions

Looking for books like *A Little Bookshop in Chang’an*. I want a slice-of-life story with a small scope, a simple setting, and lively, straightforward characters. Historical fiction only, peaceful and uneventful, with no palace or household intrigue, farming, or getting rich. Just an ordinary life of one’s own.

Stories Where Everything Goes Smoothly Are Boring

Looking for books similar to Burying the World in an Urn. System novels are like chewing wax.

Angst Fiction

Looking for books similar to Protecting My Love Rival. The male lead loves her in such a pathetic, helpless way. Are men really that devoted in real life? (Important: told from the male lead's perspective, with angst for the male lead, only the male lead.)

Tragic Endings, Angst, Make Me Suffer! (Male-Male Romance)

Bebe, open endings are fine too.

I'm in a Good Mood Lately and Want to Make Myself Miserable, but Tomato Doesn't Have Any Angst-Fests

Looking for books similar to I Have Three Months Left to Live, Let Me Die with Dignity (Zhuang Sheng Dreams of a Butterfly).
