    These are some of my absolute favorite angst-filled novels. I guarantee you'll lose ten pounds after reading them. Every single one is amazing. The first one is about a guy who pretends to be a yandere (a character with delusions of grandeur) to scare the other guy, only to later find out it's from a past. There was a special time during which the other guy begged him not to commit suicide and to come find him a few years later. But he traveled back in time and lost his memory. The rest of the stories are all very angst-filled, and they're all quite good. 😁😁 Go read them, go read them! Except for the first one, which is a bit long, the later ones are mostly quite short. You should check them out, and there's one that's really angst-filled. 😭😭😭😭😭
