One of the great ones is 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne. It's full of witty banter between the two main characters who start off as office rivals. Another is 'Red, White & Royal Blue' which has a humorous take on a fictional relationship between a British prince and the US president's son. And 'Beach Read' also stands out, with its two writers who challenge each other to write in different genres and the comical situations that unfold as they get to know each other better.
Most of them often have modern settings, like big cities or small - town America. For example, in 'Beach Read', the small - town by the beach is a key part of the story. They also usually deal with contemporary issues such as career choices and how it impacts relationships. In 'The Hating Game', the two main characters' careers play a role in their relationship.

A sense of the absurd is crucial. 'Three Men in a Boat' is full of absurd moments. The men's over - reactions to small problems like thinking they have every disease in the book when they just feel a bit unwell. It's this kind of absurdity that makes the reader laugh out loud.
Dark humour novels often deal with serious or taboo topics like death, war, and social problems in a humorous way. For example, they might make jokes about the absurdity of war or the silliness of human behavior in the face of mortality.
😋I recommend the following novels to you:
1. "Sound Your Voice: Only Your Wife Can Act Coquettishly" was about the female protagonist's struggle in the dubbing industry and her growth and progress with the male protagonist. It was also an inspirational book.
2. "A Female Firefighter Falling in Love with a Superstar" was about a female firefighter, Lin Yi, who loved her career as a firefighter. She loved to chase after celebrities, and as she chased after them, she fell in love with the superstar, Xi Chen. The emotional entanglement was very exciting.
3. "The Great God Who Lives in My Home" was about the rise of the female protagonist, Ruan Mianmian, in a parallel world. She became the top female author in the entertainment industry and was doted on by the big shots of the entertainment industry.
I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Well, one characteristic is the use of absurd situations. For example, in 'Catch - 22', the idea that you can't be excused from flying dangerous missions because only insane people would want to fly them, but if you ask to be excused, you're considered sane so you have to fly. It's a really absurd concept that is funny in a dark way.
Ruskin Bond's works also contain a lot of humour. For example, in many of his short stories set in the Indian hills, he uses humour to depict the simple yet interesting lives of the local people.
