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.

Author(s): Cyam,Menanik
Genre(s): Webtoons / Josei / Comedy / Fantasy /

FL, a top socialite, finds out she has very little left to live, and decides to reveal her true personality. Her family neglected FL her whole life, but regrets when they found out she is actually an exact copy of their mother's personality (they hated her b4 bc her mum died in labour giving birth to her + FL herself had no resemblance to their mum)

But now they want her back cuz she reminds them of the mother after revealing her personality.

1/10. Dumb plot. Bad art. Horrible translation

FL, the chosen child of god, was abused all her life because her mother was a "lowly woman" who dared to sleep with the emperor. They couldn't kill her so she was locked away in the attic. FL pretends to be stupid but was planning her revenge. Emperor traded FL to neighbouring country, without knowing doing this would basically doom their whole country. Everyone who treated her wrong will regret cuz FL's dead set on revenge.

5.5/10 Good plot, not much angst

Father, I don't Want this Marriage

Author(s): Hong hee su
Genre(s): Drama / Fantasy / Historical / Romance / Webtoons

FL's ex-fiance (and his whole family) treated FL like shit, basically an accessory they could use bc FL liked this POS so much that she was willing to bend over and spend any amount of money for them. POS loveed the feeling of supremacy over the duke's daughter + all the connections that came along with it.

Until FL returned back in time and decides to leave this POS.

5/10 - MINISCULE amt of angst, not even main focus of story.

The World Without My Sister Who Everyone Loved

 9.1(808 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Hamal ,na yoo hye
Genre(s): Webtoons / Drama /

1st TL - Whole fam treats FL bad, her "sister" manipulated her into doing everything for her then steals all the credits. FL got sent to jail and died after taking poison.

2nd TL - FL reborn to time in orphanage, and wants nth to do w duke's family. FL closed up her emotions to everyone.

SPOILERS

Everyone regain memory of 1st life in c101 of the novel.

9/10 Lots of angst in later chaps. FL's got ptsd, does very little to change her fate, so many readers find her weak.

Add this to the already long list of "Patriarchal trash family feeling sorry for themselves and never really do real amends/reparation".

The generic plot line following-

Prophesy: Black hair FL will ruin the world.
Fam: Ok *neglects n hates FL*.
FL: actually is the saint (wow what a surprise)
Fam: *omg how could we ever redeem ourselves* *regrets* *throws pity parties for themselves*

9/10 the angst is actually not bad, love whenever FL shuts down fam's attempts to approach her

+1 to the big cauldron of asshole fathers.

FL finds phrophetic book - she's actually the villainess occupying the ogPrincess's position and later killed by King. She's hated by everyone bc of King's obvious neglect towards her, and found no one's really on her side. She decides to be superficially nice and close off her heart.

SPOILERS:

King grows attached to FL. FL leaves palace when ogPrincess showed, King regrets & begs FL to stay.

10/10 king not forgiven

Shitty ex-husband cheating w FL's best friend, while taking credit for FL's artwork to make money.

FL died, return back in time. She makes pact with ML to expose POS.
POS still scummy, he regrets but (unlike others on this list) it wasnt bc he loved FL all along and regrets mistreating her. It's cuz he had to let go of his money source, which is FL.

3/10 i really didn't enjoy reading this.

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

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
