I'm looking for short romance stories with a plot that can make me cry a bucketful of tears. My favourite ones are tragic plots and bittersweet endings. I've read: Mulberry Song Ballad of Ten Thousand Gu I'm fine with yaoi and BL but I haven't found any short tragic ones.
What about yuri ? Lily Ex-machina / On Royalroad, someone spoiled me it got a tragic ending. Lily Ex-machina (completed): A girl machinist that is paragon (a classification of power user = max) with her power of control (of stuff she touches but considered quite useless), dreams to become popular with her work. One day she decides with her childhoodfriend and the group of mercenaries/adventurers she works with to go to the last lvl discovered in the labyrinth/dungeon that the city manages to find new metals to become popular with the discovery. But in there she will wakes up something terrific. And also discover a robot that will becomes her lover.
One Night, One Day, One Year One Lifetime Definitely worth a read. Three Days of Happiness Just gonna add this as well. This one has less impact than the first one for me but I still quite like it.
A game to make home fall (with FMC) The Probability I Can Kill My Wife Without Being Found Out (alternate of the first one). How hurtful of the maple leaves Sansheng, Wangchuan Wu Shang The day I disappeared (first part) The day I found her (second part, it's not yet completely translated). Loved reading them and rereading them. It really is!
Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chikyuu Tenseisha no Koroshikata (Montavo is the real MC) Sukasuka Beast Piercing The Heavens (up to ~ch 60) Tatakau Shisho
Lament at Changmen Palace How Hurtful of the Maple Leaves Both are oneshot Short story: Three Lifetimes of Trials; A Wind Chime Brings Tears Sansheng, Wangchuan Wu Shang The Imperial Princess Accidentally Seduced Her Husband Not a short story but still worth the read: Ballad of the Dessert Chaos of Beauty Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse
The day I disappeared https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-probability-i-can-kill-my-wife-without-being-found-out/ and A Game To Make Him Fall
I will be the third, i also recommend The Probability I Can Kill My Wife Without Being Found Out and his alternate novel A Game To Make Him Fall. But yeah the first guy that recommended wrote the title wrong for the alternate. Also i think it's Probability first and A game second because A game got somehow a smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall bonus plot then Probability. The bonus was kinda lacking (i kinda wanted to see more) but yeah it still nice. Spoiling: it got a happy ending.
