Can someone rec some good angtsy stories ?

Wanting Recommendations

I’ve just caught up to the latest chapter in “the forgotten field/meadow” and I find myself wanting MORE. It was SOOO good and so full of angst but I neeeeeed more right now.

I’ve read most of the well known ones like

Actually I was the real one
Stepmothers marchen
What it means to be you
My beloved oppressor (loved this one)
The forgotten field (as I already said)
Philomel the fake
______dignity (that one manhwa who shan’t be named)

There’s way more but these are the first to come to mind. I do care about art style so preferably something nice to look at…

If I were to describe what I enjoy in them it’s

-characters who feel unwanted / replaceable / unloved
-people being misunderstood for a long time
-cold or emotionally distant relationships
-“I didn’t realize your worth until it was too late” energy
quiet suffering instead of loud melodrama
-yearning + emotional repression
-psychological loneliness
-characters who keep functioning while internally destroyed

Preferably I’d like something that’s completed but if not then that’s fine too.
