Man does everything in his power to ruin FL's life like it's his life mission, gets surprized when FL turns suicidal. Acts sad to guilt FL into coming back, immediately starts abusing her again. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. FL only exists to be abused and ML only exists to abuse. It's fucking sick how hard the author is trying to push the blame onto FL because he thinks ML is too hot to be wrong.
ML and MC were together for 15 years but MC discovers that the ML has been cheating on him for the past 5 years, and with someone who looks exactly like him but younger! then he learns that he has a deadly disease too so he just packs his bags and leaves him. I never cried this much for a manga. I even felt bad for the EXML.
(towards the end of the manga)(MC might forgive him but I don't)
I read this years ago but from what I remember ML only falls in love with ugly people. MC was honestly wasn't even that ugly, he was just a silly goober I love him. From what I remember ML misunderstood something treated MC like shit. I think there were also other couples with regret? I fucking hate the archer guy tho, fucking moron JUST TELL HIM
ML marries MC's sister in the first timeline, she dies because of the ML's scheming bitch lover. MC marries ML this time and decides to fight the bitch. ML is absolutely useless, he just gets dragged around by the bitch. Then he just marries whoever survives at the end. Bitch legit tried to start a world war and assassinate MC and ML had the audacity to tell FL she should forgive her. Then he apologizes one single time and gives her a cookie, instantly forgiven
Our qween possesses Melissa, a character in a novel with a sad fate. She decides to break up with her cheating asshole fiancée and enjoy her family's riches but she somehow gets tangled with the OGMC and realises that none of the MLs deserve her. She girlbosses her way trough all of them and gets a happy ending with her male wife ML.
MC catches her fiancée kissing her sister so she books it outta there and opens up a flower shop. Turns out that ML didn't cheat WILLINGLY, He just kissed her because of some bullshit she pulled.
I thought this would be good but nah, MC is just an accessory men can drag around. She doesn't have her own opinions and thoughts, she just feels whatever the MLs are feeling.
(father, not the ML)
The father locked up his emotions after his wife died so that means he has to abuse the daughter now. He legit threatens to murder MC multiple times over small stuff and he still thinks he's a good father. Apparently, the wife chewed him up from the afterlife but it feels cheap that we don't get to see it.
The single best regret novel. I'm not going to spoil anything at all. Just know that ML goes trough ABSOLUTE HELL, worse than you can imagine, you wouldn't wish his fate on your enemies, that's how much he suffers and the cherry on top? MC watches it all from his throne while eating popcorn and says ''boo lame, suffer more'' while ML is throwing up blood. ML becomes a soulless husk of his former self and it hurts so good

"twisted fucking cycle path" i love your snark lmfao. pretty good regretful bastard list, some of my faves are on here. i had to comment about "sono suki honto" tho, i absolutely love the relationship there and imo it has a great resolution. please please reread it, it also has a side character who keeps reminding the ML about his fuck-up and it kills me every time
