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.

The Way That Knight Lives As a Lady

 9.3(170 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Sung Hyerim,Seong hye-rim,Seong Hyeon
Genre(s): Fantasy / Romance / Webtoons

Second ML in here PERSONALLY BEHEADED the FL and betrayed the country they fought for.

FL died, but her soul woke up in the noble's daughter living in the enemy country.

There's some complicated reason why he betrayed, but how does one even come back from your killer to a potential partner?

4/10

SPOILER: imagine hyping up revenge the whole series only for FL to later say *oh im better than getting revenge*. No girlie, kill that sonnovabich.

Toxicity level here's higher than chernobyl. ML *SOLD* FL to slavery because "he can't be distracted from his goals". Later regrets when he finds FL and decides he wants to make it up to her, even at the cost of the country he's ruling. FL was like no FUCK YOU, bye. But she's conflicted bout her own feelings. :)

9/10 Just as a warning, you'll get the urge to throw your phone at a wall. Will give u cancer along the way.

A more detailed review later.

Mixed opinions on this one. The ML regrets, but idk if you'd call him trash cuz his shitty actions are justified (?questionable, but his justifications is that *he did it for FL in good faith*)

5/10

The Abandoned Empress

 8.5(297 voted)
Complete
Author(s): Ina, yuna
Genre(s): Webtoons / Josei / Drama / Fantasy / Romance / Tragedy Psychological

Abandoned empress turns back in time, decides to never cross paths with the emperor. Picked up a few subMLs along the journey only to end up with the same fucking asshole who killed her.

Some readers will argue till their face go blue that *the emperor wasn't as fault, he was also manipulated, he hasn't committed crime this life* blhblah— listen, I DON'T CARE. The romance is shit. Imagine getting back together with your abuser.

2/10

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.

Holytomato January 17, 2024 2:05 am

The vulgar words to describe how the fl rejects the ml's repentance is so cute AHAHHAAHAB

Yam September 21, 2023 10:06 am

Re: For my abandoned love
(Cuz I've received 2 messages saying I should rate them higher)

It's a 6 or 7 max for me. (But again, it's my opinion, and if you disagree that's fine, move on.)

There's not much angst involved when FL was already willing to forgive ML's initial neglect bc she liked him so much, he's her bias. There's guilt from his part, and then a slow slide intp romance, but never a crawling for forgiveness, which is all what regret and this list is about.

This list here is for *angrii* and *yess crawl more bitch*, neither of which the manhwa successfully provided.

The ratings are solely based on angst and satisfaction from seeing regret, not how good the story plot is, which I've explained in my descriptions. Please read the description b4 slandering :(((

Uke Generator March 6, 2024 2:16 pm

I agree! The most satisfying stories are where the ML is begging forgiveness and the FL MAKES THEM EARN IT

Kuru-Chan September 21, 2023 9:35 am

Bro For my Abandoned Love deserves an 8+/10 rating, 5/10 be wildin, can't trust whoever created this list

POP-NI August 30, 2023 10:30 pm

Omg I love how similar we rate things! I was trying to look for something new to read but sometimes ppl rate stories I love badly but I read your description in stories I loved and it’s like I’m reading my own! I love when I have similar opinions to others bcs it feels good to see others think the same! ^_^

Yam September 5, 2023 8:27 am

Most ppl find angst frustrating so they rate it bad ahahha. For me personally, the angrier it makes me, and the better the begging scenes get, the higher the ratings go (=・ω・=) i will never know if im a masochist who likes to suffer or sadist who likes to see shitty MLs suffer
