⊰-There's more to life than just romance-⊱

I always hated how most stories always focus around romantic/sexual relationships as if that's all there's to life,so I made this list with pieces that convey feelings that represent life more than romance.

↛MAIN GENRES IN THIS LIST↚
-Psychological 
-Drama
-Slice of life
-Tragedy
-Comedy
-(some stories may have gore)
This list will still include stories with romantic relationships,but won't be the main focus.
(rape,sexual/verbal abuse ONLY if not romanticized and I'll put a TW on them.)

Very tragic and somehow slightly cute relationship between a man and his dog on a car trip.
The story is told by the point of view of the dog, which to me, was what affected me the most TT

It's a very short story, soI recommend anyone with a bit of free time to read it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

It does include romance,but I just feel like this story shows that life is so much more than having a romance, and even the characters themselves seems to slowly realise this as well. Mostly,all characters have an incredible slowburn development.
It's a pretty sad story, but I feel like it shows p well that life isn't just about 1 emotion and you shouldn't let a few bad things/moment define the rest of your life.

TW:includes psychological abuse!

It's one of my favourite works ever. I love the way the anxiety from the main character was represented and reflected onto the way he see things(ex.: his father having only the eyes as a defined characteristic). I really enjoyed how they focused in showing the true process of going trough certain traumas,small improvement and that the process of healing is long and uncertain,instead of just trying to rapidly and unrealisticly solving the problems.

TW: parental abuse!

Sadly, it hasn't been updated in a long while, but I had a lot of fun reading this piece.
I always wondered,if there are really gods, how would they interect with each other? this work somehow ended up looking a bit closer to what I imagined and always wondered about, since it's a mix of a bunch of mythlogy and religions around the world.
It also felt slightly refreshing some of the physical representation of those gods, like Zeus presenting himself in a kid's form.
