thanks for sharing, I’ve read over half of these and agree these are good reads! a lot aren’t historical BLs tho, I appreciate nonetheless

dudeee i read painter behind the curtain around 2 years ago and i haven’t been able to find something like it since. probably reread it around 4 times, lol.
a recent one i’ve been really enjoying is solo for two.

idk how well it fits into your description and my bad if you already know it

Ugh same! Read it years ago and reread 2-3 times. PBTC made me feel so many emotions haha. The ones I listed are all pretty dark and painful at times but the pain hurts so good? Pretty sure these all made me sob. Anyways, thank for this rec I actually have it on my “to read” list I’ll definitely check it out since you’re enjoying it.

np!! and here’s another one that somehow slipped my mind.

really good and really painful

thank you!! added to my list :)

To take an enemy’s heart, Royal servant, Cradle of imae, Haunted by desire,Go Jin and Gam-rae, and 1866. these are the ones that come to mind like PBTC for me
