best angst manhwas ♡
MangaSpoiler
These series don't try to be over angsty and over dramatic and that's the best about them.
Some manhwas that aren't in MAL but I would like to add to this stack:
- Glass Wall (유리의 벽) COMPLETED: 101 chapters
- Your Eternal Lies (영원한 너의 거짓말) ON GOING: 76 chapters

If you get through the first 20-30 chapters the real plot will reveal and it's just AMAZING. One of the best plots and more angsty ones I've read of all the rofan manhwas I've read. It has a decent amount of fluff and the triple of angst so be prepared (mentally) for this.

The definition of what would REALLY happen if you were suddenly the villainess of a novel. Amazing main character, realistic and with an unique personality with no plot armor. Love also the relationship between the MC and the original female lead. The plot itself is just PAIN but the emotions are really well handled 100% recommended for angst lovers.

A lowkey basic romance manhwa but the backstories of the male and female lead are truly gut wrenching. More of a typical story but the female lead is one of my favorites ever, she's a soft yet strong girl. Also the way traumas are handled in this one is just top tier, that's why I think it deserves to be here.

This is what I call an unknown and underrated gem. I love stories that center on a lot of characters that are connected. Also this had me sobbing like crazy when I read it so yeah, I love it so much.

A basic and known manhwa but I truly think the emotions it conveys throught the character backstories, the art, and just the general plot are amazing.

This one is the perfect balance between comedy and angst. The story has a lot of dark undertones and it's really sad, yet at the same time the comedy feels natural and matches well with the story. If you like character centered stories with tragic elements this is perfect.

Terminal illness centred manhwas always give me a chill in the spine. Knowing damn well how it'll end but the angst of this one is simply amazing.

DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE TITLE. I feel like this passes like such a typical rofan manhwa when it's not. This story has a great variety of characters every one with a tragic and pitiful past. The best part about this manhwa is how it conveys feelings through the art. The angst is really subtle but gut gut wrenching.

Unique story with LOTS of angst. It's a painful read most of the time but really good if you love the family found trope. Good representation of traumas too because it's from the same author as How to Win My Husband Over. The only thing I dislike about it is the romance, I just don't find the relationship between the female and male lead interesting enough, and I don't think they have good chemistry.

Scared such a potentially good and angst story will become a typical one. But for now I can say this is a really good angst story. It pains me how much the main character goes through, how she's judged and hated no matter what. Simply pain, and the male lead is trash, she deserves better.

This ISN'T the typical manhwa story, it really looks like it but the quantity of pain and angst the main characters went through made my heart ache like crazy. The male lead's pinning, the female lead's hatred everything in this is chef kiss.

There's nothing I hate more than mistrated main characters that no one wants nor tries to understand/know. She's so pitiful and was used for a contract marriage just to end up being abused. I hate everyone in the story except her and her maid I swear to god.

Amazing main character that represents lots of mental issues: depression, anxiety attacks, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc. I love how deep you can see her change through her live.

Amazing representation of trauma, abuse, relationships of power and the feeling of wanting revenge on your abuser. Plus I also love how the Stockholm syndrome is represented in this manhwa. I think it's a quite realistic take on this syndrome. It has LOTS of angst in every chapter.
