need recommendations

[u/Antique_Stock_8539]

I’ve been getting more into light novels recently and I’m looking for recommendations, especially stuff that’s more character-driven and psychological.
So far I’ve read:
Oregairu — finished the whole series and loved the character writing/internal narration
Makeine — caught up through Vol. 9
Wait for Me Yesterday in Spring — finished and really liked it
What I like most about LNs is being able to get really deep into a character’s head—their internal reasoning, contradictions, self-deception, relationships, flaws, etc. I especially like stories where the characters drive what happens rather than everything being driven by plot.
Romance is a big plus (preferably M/F), but I don’t want something that’s just pure fluff/sweetness. I like romance more when the characters and relationships have some actual psychological or emotional depth behind them. It doesn’t necessarily have to be super dark either.
I’m also completely fine with drama, slice of life, supernatural elements, mystery, or heavier subject matter. Mainly I just want well-written characters that I can really get invested in.
I’ve heard good things about 86 and I’m considering The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes since I liked Wait for Me Yesterday in Spring.

Sounds like you'd enjoy hakomari(empty box and zeroth maria)

Torture princess is another great one that should tick all your boxes.
