For me, 'Of Mice and Men' is a really depressing fiction book. The story of George and Lennie, two migrant workers with big dreams that are ultimately shattered, is heart - breaking. Lennie's child - like mind and his inability to control his strength lead to a tragic end. It shows the harsh reality for the poor and the powerless in society.
As a fan of web novels, I haven't actually read all the novels, so my answer might not apply to all readers. But I can tell you about some of the more well-received novels, which may have a heavier theme and plot.
Some of the more well-received novels included classic works such as One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Kite Runner, War and Peace, Dream of the Red Chamber, and Pride and Predict. These novels depicted the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of fate, and deeply explored the meaning and values of human existence.
Other modern novels, such as 1984 and Brave New World, also revealed the dark side of society and the distortion of human nature.
Of course, these are just some examples. In fact, there are many other novels with heavy topics and plots. The readers can choose works that suit their interests and preferences.
As a fan of online literature, I've seen many sad sentences, but here's one that I think is the most sad:
Her eyes were filled with despair, as if the entire world had abandoned her.
As a fan of online literature, I've seen many sad sentences, but the following are probably the most sad ones:
"I don't want to live anymore. I'm too tired."
" I'm already in despair. I don't know what to do next."
" I've reached the bottom of my life. Everything is meaningless."
4 " I have lost my confidence in life and the future. I want to commit suicide."
" I've already suffered countless blows and betrayals. I don't want to live anymore."
" I've already experienced too much pain and frustration. I feel like I've lost my direction in life."
" I've lost all my courage and hope. I feel like everything is meaningless."
" I can't control my emotions and actions anymore. I feel like I'm breaking down."
" I can't see the future and hope anymore. I want to give up my life."
" I've already experienced too much pain and emotional torture. I feel like my life has lost its color."
Each of these sentences could be a negative emotion or state that makes people feel very depressed and desperate.
If it was a modern romance novel, I would recommend "I've Been Through the Vast Sea, but I Can't Find Water." The plot of this book was sad and depressing. It was filled with hatred and absurdity of love, making people feel very sad after reading it. If it was an ancient romance novel, I would recommend "Unhappy Country". The plot of this book was also filled with absurd political struggles and tragic love, making people cry after reading it. If it was a farming genre, I would recommend "The Eldest Sister". The protagonist in this book not only had to face a tragic life, but also had to take care of the family business with difficulty. After reading it, readers would really feel the psychological pressure of the protagonist. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Well, 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, while not strictly pure science fiction but has some elements of post - apocalyptic world which can be related to the genre. It shows a father and son struggling to survive in a desolate world. The constant threat of starvation, violence from other survivors, and the overall bleakness of the landscape make it a very depressing read. There seems to be no hope for a better future in that world.

One of the most depressing fiction books is 'The Catcher in the Rye'. It portrays the alienation and disillusionment of the main character, Holden Caulfield. His experiences in a world he sees as 'phony' are quite sad. Another is 'A Little Life' by Hanya Yanagihara. It follows the lives of four friends, especially Jude, who endures unspeakable traumas throughout his life. The book is filled with his pain and the often-bleak existence of the characters.
The following were some extremely depressing sentences:
I would have died on the beach before the end of the world.
I don't want to struggle anymore. I just want to sleep and let everything go with the wind.
If I could choose, I wish I had never been born.
My soul has been destroyed, leaving only an empty shell.
My life is like a dream. I've woken up, but other dreams are still going on.
I have no hope left. I just want to leave this world.
I don't know what the meaning of life is because I don't want to live anymore.
I don't want to face this world. I just want to hide and never come out.
If I could choose, I wish that I had never appeared.
My heart is dead, leaving only a hole.
The expressions in these sentences often carried a certain amount of negative emotions, expressing the protagonist's despair and helplessness. However, it should be noted that these sentences are only fictional elements in the novel and should not be over-interpreted and imitated.
Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale' can also be considered. It shows a future where women are subjugated and used solely for reproductive purposes. The main character endures so much oppression and the overall atmosphere of the book is one of despair and the loss of basic human rights.
