Is it just me or have I reached the point where I'm getting sick of all the smut for plots, like, I need substance in these stories and I need a good romance without there being a smut every 5 chapters but there is still tension between the characters likeeeee where are all the good slow burns at??? Where's the character development arcs at??
To summarize, I need recos for a good slow burn, possibly enemies to lovers trope that doesn't have ANY or an ounce (if possible) of the bs or red flags
Can someone or anyone recommend me any angsty stories where possibly one character ends up dying? (preferably in the bl genre but anything goes ^.^)

I gotta say... If youre looking for a read that will make you work your brain cogs and tire them tf out trying to make sense of the shi thats happening, I wouldnt even dare recommend this to you. The characters are top-tier manipulative no one is sane in this story Im probably about to go insane figuring out the dynamics and trope of this story. The road to rainbows and sunshine is miles and miles away
Its ok you don’t need to understand it right now just enjoy the journey twin
I can't even say Im enjoying the journey sis ╥﹏╥ Reading it reminds me of the backrooms lmao
