Noir BL with a crime focus or otherwise rock-bottom environment/mentality.
Overall, noir BLs encapsulate a morbid or cynical outlook on life. Noir in this sense is not characterised by sweet and loving relationships in happy or otherwise safe scenarios, but rather danger, cruelty and a sense of hopelessness for a brighter future.
Some of these are more angsty/soulless than others. Ranked 1-5: 1 just a noir vibe/setting 5 seriously fucking dark, cruel, soulless
