    First, let me recommend my new novel. You can't find it online, but check out "The Days After Her Death" on my homepage. It's a few thousand words long and can be finished in less than half an hour, perfect for beginners. It's not angsty (maybe because my writing isn't great?), And it's almost finished. Then, here are the other books I recommend. The first one is quite short and a bit angsty. The second one is about tomb raiding and brotherhood. The third and fifth are Detective Conan. The third one is slightly angsty, but later it's almost entirely one-on-one, so you can skip it if you mind that. The fifth one is about a strong, beautiful, and tragic character, a little more angsty than the third. The fourth one is about Journey to the West, which is also okay. Anyway, the ending is a double death, but it's essentially a happy ending because in the epilogue, they go directly to the next world.
