Shitty MLs/Families regret (Shoujo)

I love reading egoist MLs suffer when the FL moves on from loving them, apologising & regretting. 

Ratings /10 on how satisfying the angst is:

》9 - 10: Will make you both angry+satisfied.
》6 - 8: Good, but doesn't DELIVER angst
》4 - 5: Disappointing. Scum didn't suffer enough.
》1 - 3: Cancerous material. Will lose brain cells.

Added really good "haha suffer more you piece of shit" novels with novelupdate links. Highly recommend u read them.

And he doesn't leave her tf alone even after divorce??! like brother get a hint.

Seeking For Your Forgiveness

ML (Prosecutor) was too obsessed with work and neglected FL, until FL's sister died and she asked for his help in finding truth. ML was like nah. FL fed up and left.

Story is a 3/10. Not enough bg to hate on ML - FL walked out in first chapter successfully. We never know the inner workings of how ML treated her, and why she was so hurt. ML did come crawling back, and FL keeps wavering. Shallow character building.

FL grew up in slums, made deal with ML to act as his *sister* so ML can avoid arrange marriage between two households. This man is vile filth, thinks all women should like him and goes nuts cuz FL wouldn't. His sole defense mechanism is to be an asshole philanderer, and does a surprise pikachu face when FL draws hard boundries. Bipolar fucking dude.

7/10 he should be ripped apart and fed to the dogs

I dropped it at c9.
FL villainess, a reincarnator, was forced to seduce ML (duke) by the king of the nation to divert the original plot of ML overthrowing the king. ML the left the ogFL (who went to WAR FOR 11 YEARS to defend his pathetic ass), to be with FL. Then later on he's so fucking wishy washy in between FLs like bro make up ur fucking heart and mind - both women don't deserve this attitude

2/10 it was a frustrating read

FL woke up 3 months after mission slaying the demon lord and all of a sudden her fiance wants to break up the engagement, and her comrades all turm their backs on her. Infuriating shameless bitch who stole all 3 men comes along tryna provoke FL, but FL was like "u want em, u can have em bye" and starts romance with the demon lord instead.
8/10
SPOILERS: some bullshit involving mind manipulation, but fiance is Ahole mindfucked or not

ML (king) treated FL (queen) like sh*t, and cheated with FL's step-sister (ho*). FL su*cided with the poison given by ho*. Only then ML was like "i loved her all along". Time reversed for FL and she really hates his guts. ML went back in time too, he knows how hurt she was and regrets everything he did.He tries to break down her walls she built around herself.
10/10 one of my fav ML beg and suffer stories

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

Uhhh this might be a very dumb question but how do I read the novels that are linked? I can’t find the right thing to click but that might be because it’s like 3 am and I’m sleep deprived

Yam December 31, 2024 6:46 pm

Click on the blue "NOVEL LIST" which is listed 2nd

im not creative for nicknames November 24, 2024 6:13 am

*sees fav light novel*
"Only for masochistic dogs"
Yea that checks out


Spoiler tho:
Idk if the manga is diff but in the light novel the 1st ML isn't being controlled or anything, he's just a douch (tho he does have a dream when he remembers a "past cycle" where he himself is like "wtf bro" but then wakes up remembering nothing)

im not creative for nicknames November 24, 2024 6:15 am

Ps LOVE the list ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

I'm confused on how is "I’m Divorcing My Tyrant Husband" is popular when the ml is straight up garbage.

Yam November 3, 2024 12:37 am

Ive dropped it after some time cuz honestly it became so boring and predictable after a certain point. I stopped checking in regularly for updates and skip 5 chapters to see how plot is going (guess what it hasn't progressed at all/went exactly the way i predicted).

I deffo need to change the rating on that one. ML didn't repent much tbh.

Just read that novel, it's prtty good and sentimental! I love how the FL actually gets a loving ML. Author did good by developing main focus of the story with FL's new rs and making the bastard repenting a sideplot (cuz i want dogfood but also i wanna see idiots grovel)
