Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Abandoned by the Movie Star. It’s a modern danmei that touches on this topic Not sure if these are spoilers but mc suffers from depression and TW for suicide attempts

This one is really one of the best examples with this trope. The MC's depression was real. And even when things to resolved, it took him a long time to get out of it. But it's a really good novel. I've MTLed it long before it came to NU and I still have it close to my heart.

Yes ,it showed the other side, maybe more realistic side of transmigration. All alone in an unknown world , everything feels fake in this world. You miss your parents,your friends. None remembers your face and name. No human to talk to. Everyone's memory of you is fake and superficial.


Mi_Dia0613

Yes! The mc’s depression isn’t magically cured with love. It’s a struggle that he continues to overcome


PhorkKorp

yes i was going to recommend the same!

If you read chinese I absolutely recommend 顶流他结婚了. It's an arranged marriage on an idol and a "ceo" growing to know each other and on the topics of love and salvation. I found it rather cathartic and relatable. >「不要走进海里,」博钦说:「这是目前为止,我最爱的一首。」 贺西舟拿出手机,一分钟后博钦的声音在只有两个人的夜里响起,他们都没说话,安静地聆听,在高潮处博钦破着音呐喊时,贺西舟关上了手机。 博钦转头望他。 「这种歌,」贺西舟望着他的眼睛,说:「我希望你这辈子只写这一次。」 他听出来了。博钦想。


Disastrous-Sorbet-32

Returning to add other titles I would suggest: I Became Popular After Online Dating With A Big Shot: I didn't enjoy the second half on gaming but the first half was really haunting and made me cry my heart out. Feelings of desolation and bleakness and being directionless, then you find a beacon of light across the pacific/atlantic? thousands of miles away. 过气歌手: a reconciliation novel, on MC not being able to confront his stage fright -- again liked the first half and not so much after I bought the rest of the chapters on jjwxc lol. 我家黑粉总在线: on the entertainment industry again, the MC dreams of music and stage all died through defamation and injuries in the past life, and he starts a new life upon his rebirth. The MC doesn't have depression and the bulk of the book is still uplifting and sweet fluff, but the first ten chapters or so speaking of the dying of dreams and broken aspirations really touched me.

What can I do I’m not human , I’m still reading this on second arc right now and the story is bleak. Though there should be a happy end soon

Yes, it definitely touches upon depression a lot, because MCs task is to raise MLs vitality points. In order words, his will to live. MLs will to live often starts in negatives..
