i’m looking for stories in which the central plot is that main character is in love with someone onesidedly and it remains unrequited forever, with lots of angst and no happy ending with a different person
can be yaoi, het, lez ANYTHING.
i just want it all to be v painful
ideally, the mc is mature and doesn’t throw tantrums about being unloved/unlovable
completed manhwas with op/high intellect MCs to scratch a solo levelling/ORV/s-classes that i raised shaped itch?
it can be a different genre too as long as the OP MC criteria is met <3
Not particularly high in intellect but quite op is the "ultimate shut in" i read the novel and it was quite fun, I was reading the manhwa but after reading the whole novel because I couldn't wait for the next chapter of the manhwa I stopped keeping up with it because I'm letting it marinate but I hope they do it justice

Although there's no fantasy elements or action. 100% brain power and 200% drama
i’m confused about people saying it was boring. it’s a short story, yes, and it chooses to focus on these two characters’ relationship. and i love their chemistry! they’re both so into each other <3
sure, the seme is immature, but that’s his whole archetype. from the get go we see he’s an innocent little freshman who only studied his entire school life away. if anything, it would be suspicious if someone with that setup was an expert at navigating romantic relationships
