I don't understand why people say the picture of dorian gray is dark academia when 1) it's not set in a college/academy/University 2) it's not about a group of students 3) it's not about a murder mystery

Look up ‘the ultimate guide to dark academia books’ by The Book Leo on YouTube. She explains it so wonderfully and gives you a big list of recommendations 😊
