I like tragic/dark novels, if you could check my reading list before recommending some that would. Be appreciated
The Real Awakening. One of the darkest and most twisted stories I’ve read (finished the raws). It focuses on portraying the darker side of human nature (mainly greed and selfishness) and the tragic consequences that result. I particularly enjoy how the story paints out realistically conflicting situations where it is hard to define what is right or wrong.
IDK for novels, but if you don't mind some dark manga then maybe: - Death Sweeper - The Embalmer - Route End - Claymore (if you like Berserk, then this one is for you) - Gunnm - Hellsing - Promised Wonderland - AoT - Dorohedoro - Colorless - Pandora Hearts - I am a Hero - Itou Junji's works - Dendrobates
To add to this I am an immortal Made in abyss Deadmans wonderland D grey man https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/20556/ Also chexkmy sig for recs
Ballad of the Ten Thousand Gu Mulberry Song Qt: Male lead, come here One night, one day, one year (something along the line)
Here are some animes w/ tragic endings and/or dark theme for recommendations: Gundam Z Gundam IBO Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket Gundam: Hathaway Flash (not gonna say anything 'bout this one, except that I already know much of how the story gonna end, the "true" reason of the MC (most of my friends & mine version of it, at least), thus I felt , & a bit nauseated by it) Uchuu Senkan Yamato (not sure w/ it's 2011/2012-ish revival/remake story since the one that I watch was the 2nd movie(?) "Goodbye to Space Battleship Yamato" in VHS back in '80s) Drifters Shin Getter Robo GitS Witch Hunter Robin
