Hehehe I love listening to men cry too, so I've collected quite a few CDs like this.

if you're looking for peak suffering men sobbing punching walls and smashing up the room, you need to check out The Melancholy of Sleeping Beauty and Her Protectors, specifically volume Gold and Silver Spider's Thread.

Honestly, every time I listen to this drama CD, I end up curling up because the VA is literally screaming and crying right into my ears. He acts so well that no matter how many times I listen to it, I still can't get used to it. And this is pretty much the only volume I really like. The other volumes are... umm... maybe they're just not enough for me? Or maybe it's because I listened to Gold and Silver Spider's Thread first, so everything else feels kinda weak compared to it.
Also, most CDs from BoneCage are either bloody horror or just straight up perverted as hell. Most of their CDs are made for girls who are at least a little bit into masochistic stuff though so if that's not your thing, you might wanna be careful

Are you only into angsty otome CDs or do you also want to try some darker stuff? Like rape, drugs, kidnapping, being locked up, etc.?

If you're okay with darker themes, there's Bungou tachi no Cafune. It's been a few years since I last listened to it so I don't really remember if anyone screams or cries, but someone definitely dies. Either the MC dies or the guy dies.
My favorite is Vol. 2 because this guy is fucking perverted lol. Oh, but this volume does have incest in it! I don't remember if the other volumes do or not, but I remember this one has both incest AND age gap, so if you're not okay with that, you can just skip it.

If you want something that's both angsty and has a plot that makes you actually use your brain, there's Ability120%. Umm, how should I explain it... I like this one because it has some gore. The SFX and the sounds of men crying and suffering are so good I was literally sweating while listening to it lmao :blushing:
Most CDs from Dusk usually have a little bit of gore too, although it's mostly just SFX.

if I had to pick my favorite from everything I mentioned, it would definitely be The Melancholy of Sleeping Beauty and Her Protectors ~ Gold and Silver Spider's Thread ~.
I've listened to plenty of fucked up drama CDs, but there are very few that make me curl up while listening to them. This one really does that to me every single time.
And I think it fits what you're looking for pretty well too, even though nobody actually dies.

I feel like you've probably already listened to some of the CDs above since they're pretty popular. But if you know any other CDs where men are crying and suffering please please recommend them to me too :blushing:

Omgg thank you so much.. and no I haven't heard of any of these coz I only know of a handful cds from rejet.. I've only listened and still listening criminale s1 and soubo sangokushi..also I heard thanatos night also has some level of craziness like choking. And yes I really love it when ml loses his cool or is devastated (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠).. I'm fine with all darker themes except r**e (maybe if he deeply regrets it).. anyways I'm gonna listen to all of which u recommended! I'm having high hopes to the first one u recommended. If u find more such tropes pls do tell me coz idk how exactly to explore cd dramas given its small community and I'd do the same (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Oh well I just realized almost everything I recommended has rape in it. I don't really know how to say this without spoiling things, but when they force themselves on the MC, the characters aren't enjoying it at all. They usually do it when they're so desperate, suffering, and so full of yearning that they completely lose control of themselves. In some of the CDs, the characters actually feel really guilty and regret doing it. The first CD I recommended is a good example (seriously the way he sounded so hopeless made me feel hopeless too😭)
But yeah, rape is still rape. I feel pretty bad for not warning you about that earlier.

Honestly it's really hard to find a CD where the guy is that yearning, desperate, screaming and suffering, without it also coming with violence or non-consensual stuff. (Or maybe it's just because I keep picking NSFW CDs to listen to so I haven't found many ) :blushing:

Hic, I feel like I'm sending you straight to hell with these recommendations. If you're not okay with that kind of stuff, I can recommend some lighter ones instead!

Ahaha it's fine I suppose.. I only hate it when the MLS do it for fun or cruelly.. like in bls it's really disturbing how they do it to torture their partners and then shamelessly get back without an ounce of regret. And hard agree on violence part, guess it's no pain no gain aah situation lol.

Tbh I never heard or watched such tropes coz I skipped all of it lol (I'm not even a minor🥀) but of course there's a first time for everything and if I didn't like it I can always skip that part so please don't feel guilty! I'm really grateful that u took ur time to recommend me so many cds (⁠/⁠^⁠-⁠^⁠(⁠^⁠ ⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠/

Also can u tell me where to find them?

OMGG heavy vouch on The Melancholy of Sleeping Beauty and Her Protectors!!! The whole series is great, but the Gold and Silver Spider's Thread is def one of my favorites too, mainly because of Domon Atsushi's amazing performance!

Unfortunately, I also feel it's pretty hard to find angsty screaming/crying CDs without non-con/coercion/rape :(

Some tamer ones I can think of include the Under:Doll series, but specifically only Ren's audio, and the Nagi-niichan audio + sequel. The DLsite descriptions give pretty detailed notes on what to expect, and I highly recommend them if you're into insecure/jealous guys who emotionally break down! CW for some noncon tho...߹𖥦߹ but there are some lovey-dovey/wholesome parts too!

If you're feeling brave and really wanna dive into some darker stuff, I recommend checking out the トラオム series, pResset Love series, or【暴力×依存]ヒロインを潰え... These works are definitely angsty in plot, but include a lot of heavy/taboo themes such as incest, violence, rape, drugs, etc., so fair warning... but feel free to lmk if you want any specific recs from those series! I have a few favorites hehe (。•́ ̫ •̀。)

These are all the angsty ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I'll add more as I think of them! Hopefully the first few recommendations aren't too cruel...I'll def be on the lookout for less immoral angsty audios!!

Yahhh finally someone mentioned Gold and Silver Spider's Thread. I hardly ever see anyone recommending it and lowkey was starting to think there was something wrong with my taste lol. I'm so glad there are other people who like it too!!
It's still my absolute #1 favorite volume no matter how many drama CDs I listen to (even though I don't really like its last track that much hehe) :blushing:

YW I hope you can find something you like!! And sorry... unfortunately, I haven't come across this trope yet 💔 I only know of audios where the ML tries to kill the MC or someone close to the ML dies "because of" the MC, and the MC has to carry the responsibility and burden of being hated by the ML...

If you're interested in the first trope, I recommend ⚠️爆重愛×共依存監禁⚠️ and【暴力×依存]ヒロインを潰え from my previous recs!

If the latter is something you're interested in, I would recommend [I wish I had Died Then], but extreme CW for mentions of suicide, incest, noncon, etc...

Sorry!! I also mainly listen to R18 audios, so all my recs are pretty depraved and heavy 😭😭 I'm currently working on expanding my horizons a bit... (꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

OMGGG yes!!! The story and acting are both sooo good I wish more ppl knew abt it! And I totally get what you mean abt the last track...
Malus' change in character completely threw me off ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽ I was not expecting a 3P scene nor did I enjoy it...

I'd recommend Bloody Endings Series Vol. 2, Yuki no Joo Hen. It's definitely quite tragic and emotionally heavy, and the ending stayed on my mind for a while. I don't want to spoil too much, but if you're looking for something with a lot of angst and an emotionally devastating ending, I'd definitely recommend it. 😭

Tbh the reason I really don't like the last scene is because Harlen's voice sounds genuinely so cold and scary, while Malus just comes across as this annoying, douchey playboy. But then I still ended up going soft when Harlan gave us some medicine to help with the pain and wished us goodnight. So I guess that kinda balances things out hehe. I got so obsessed with this series that I went digging everywhere for more content and somehow stumbled across the novel version of it. I was actually pretty surprised to find that Malus isn't nearly as obnoxious in the novel as he is in the CD at all. He's still a bad guy, obviously, but at least he knows better than to mess with his boss's lover

Yahh, I don't know if you've read the novel version of The Melancholy of Sleeping Beauty and Her Protectors yet, but I really want to talk about it with someone.
Because honestly, I'm not a huge fan of how the author treated Harlan. He got beaten by Visk (who was honestly just as terrible as Harlan) to the point where it completely changed his personality and left him with PTSD.

Like, I genuinely don't understand what right Visk had to punish Harlan when he himself also kidnapped the MC, drugged her and raped her

But maybe I'm just feeling this way because I really like Harlan lol. It's been a while, so I might be misremembering some things. I'm not trying to say anything bad about the author or anything, it's just… I can't really shake this feeling. Either way, I'm still really grateful that she created this story :blushing:

Wow I was just looking for such typa recs! Thank youuu
 
Oh yeah, sleeping beauty series is really good dark/angst/depressing. haha. Yugentraum and koguma cookie has stuff you should check out too. Recently listened to Canaria Records happy rebirth day and uhhh that definitely ended on a reallyyyyy dark note with the garumani bonus end
If I remember right it was like.. ML lights himself and MCs dead body on fire
OH and also the Wasurenagusa series 100% in the angst alley. Series is soooo good. Hmmm oh and Crazy Circus volume 3 I think it was, was devastating to me lol. (I enjoy listening to dark things..)
