I NEED sad webtoon recommendations

I am reading and have read literally dozens of webtoons. (Current total is 227 respectively). Im starting to get a bit bored with the same stuff over and over. Help me!

I really love reading emotional stories. Give me the most gut-wrenching webtoons you’ve read. Any genre. It could even start as the happiest webtoon in the world, as long as it rips my heart out and stomps it flat somehow, I’ll be happy. I wanna bawl my eyes out. I wanna get emotionally attached to a story or character. Gimme something with a traumatic backstory, or traumatic ending…anything really. I don’t care if they die or just “break up” and leave forever. It could be one small sad thing that impacts the story or several big things…but try your best to crush my spirits. :)

Here’s some examples of webtoons that made me cry in someway: The Horizon, The Boxer, Windbreaker, Sweet Home, Blood-Ink, Stagtown, School Bus Graveyard, City of Blank, Jackson’s Diary, Hooky, It’s Mine.

Theres probably more but I can’t remember off the top of my head. Please help! If you know one thats not on webtoon, recommend it anyway! Im on several reading platforms.

Hey everyone,

I want to share something personal because I think a lot of you will relate to this.

I was personally censored on Canvas. They forced me to change parts of my story — scenes that were important to the narrative, characters that had been carefully developed — all because of arbitrary rules that made no artistic sense. And I wasn't alone. Several of my creator friends went through the exact same thing: work rejected, accounts restricted, stories gutted just to comply with policies that change without warning.

Fed up with that, I decided to build something different.

I created Domhwa (domhwa.com), a webcomic platform available in both English and Spanish where creators can publish their stories without anyone telling them how they have to be. No arbitrary censorship. No forcing you to change your artistic vision.

The best part? Those same friends who got censored are now publishing on Domhwa — and they can finally tell the stories they always wanted to tell.

We're still a small community, but that means creators who join now get way more visibility than on oversaturated platforms.

Has this happened to you? Have you ever had your content censored or rejected on other platforms?

All feedback welcome — I'm here to build this together with the community.
