    Give me a book recommendation that will make me cry and sob so hard that makes it hard to breath. BG, BL or no romance is fine. max 300 chapters thanks. (Please do tell me if it is a HE or not)

    and also if anyone has a spotify playlist to listen to while reading this kind of book please do recommend.

    Kimi no suizou wo tabetai/I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. There's a novel(you can find the translation in novelupdates), an anime adaptation, and a live action adaptation. I watched the live action version and honestly I cried a lot.


    Synopsis:
    One day, I - a high schooler - found a paperback in the hospital. The “Disease Coexistence Journal” was its title. It was a diary that my classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, had written in secret. Inside, it was written that due to her pancreatic disease, her days were numbered. And thus, I coincidentally went from Just-a-Classmate to a Secret-Knowing-Classmate. It was as if I were being drawn to her, who was my polar opposite. However, the world presented the girl that was already suffering from an illness with an equally cruel reality…


    Btw, I really really recommend the live action version than the anime version. Here's the trailer:

    The Sukasuka series is genuinely one of the saddest stories I've read

    I'll give you my list of all the BL classics I really want to finish but can't because I can't handle tragedy or angst
    (HE unless stated otherwise):
    - The Husky and His White Cat Shizun (ongoing, 161 chapters)
    - Yu Wu (ongoing, 130 chapters)
    - How to Survive As a Villain (completed, 236 chapters)
    - Gaze at the Scenes of Debauchery (completed, 53 chapters, BE)
    - Waiting Until 35 Years Old (completed, 30 chapters, BE)
    - Decade of Deep Love (completed, 86 chapters, BE)
    - The Villain is Outrageously Beautiful (only a few translated chapters, but so worth MTL-ing if you can, I cried my damn eyes out)
    - Encountering a Snake (only a few translated chapters, HE in the third/final life/reincarnation)
    - Hako no Naka (completed, 2 volumes, HE technically? They stayed together for years
    until the ML died from lung cancer and then the MC was alone reminiscing in his old age. This was the first BL novel I read way back then, and I can still remember heave-sobbing into my pillow at 4 am on a school night

    it might seem like adventure + xianxia world-building + SoL fluff with a dash of gay at first (this author writes some of the most lovable characters and interesting worlds), but keep at it, the tragedy tag redeems itself five times over (first major tearjerker is ~Ch.28 IIRC)

    Anime Recs (though you probably know these ones already):
    - Anohana (one of my first anime, the OP still makes me cry)
    - Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased)
    - Orange
    - Given
    - Banana Fish
    - (manga) Sakura-Gari
    (before some straight guy accidentally clicks then @s me, the last three links are BL or shoujo with BL vibes)
    (though please do remember to check tags and TWs!)
    (oh and the last two are BE
    due to major character death
