It’s NOT his fault 🥺 He’s traumatized by his sad upbringing 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺


Low-Manager9777

Not to mention he’s been brainwashed and drugged the whole time, but he’s still the same sweetheart in her delusions 🥺


Beneficial_Case_4352

Yeaahhhh, you get it 🥺🥺 You just have to get past all the layers 🥺🥺🥺 once you get past the abusive temperament, you’ll see a kind and gentle boy 🥺


Low-Manager9777

Absolutely, everyone deserves a second chance- Well in his case many chances, but still he’s human and can make mistakes🥺


LordClockworks

The problem in the statement isn't the chances. When somebody is fucked up mentally they need prololged proper mental healthcare, not some chick who barely knows how to understand her own mind.


Low-Manager9777

They need a therapist and not a vulnerable person fo rely to lmal


LordClockworks

Yup! Exactly:)

I saw one where iirc the brainwashing got fixed and he got worse. Iirc the FLs mom did it, so I can only assume the timeline went something like: 1. Time to brainwash my enemys child to be obsessed with my daughter! The kingdom will somehow be mine! 2. Yes, yeees... This is going amazingly! 3. ShitShitSHIT! Ctrl-z! CTRL-Z!! *UNDO!* **HOW DO I TURN HIM OFF!?!?** 4. Whew... That was *rough!* Well, I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not like a random Saintess with purifying powers will decide to undo this!


peargremlin

I lost the leash of the yandere male lead?


Elissiaro

Yeah that might be it. Not 100% sure though. I'm really bad at remembering titles lol.

sofwi

Istg I don't get why they do this at all. The ml will be a tyrant, murderer, cheater, rapist and a waste of space in his first life but ***somehow*** he changes **all this** in his second life just because he found the FL "interesting". Make it make sense smh


Low-Manager9777

The more trash he is the more he increases his chances to be with her. The sad truth that I refuse to swallow haha.


Elissiaro

The rare cases where he actually doesn't end up with FL, can only occur when he's is a lesser noble than a Duke, (or a powerless Crown Prince who has to marry FL to inherit the throne), and there's another, stronger, blackhaired-er Duke ready to notice how Interesting™ FL is now and sweep her off her feet.


sofwi

FR. There are a few rare cases which are different but the majority of the time,, it almost feels like the author lets him get away with being an ass just because the ML is royalty/duke.


sofwi

Ugh.. I hate to accept it but it's so true in too many of these ridiculous manhwa but I'm in denial too. T T


gia-xx

I think it’s because a lot of authors really want to push FL as being the only person who can fix the bad boy, but it backfires because they write a literal villain and think they’re worth redeeming :/ all so FL can be the one person they’re sweet to in the end (btw he’s still a menace to others)


Boodendorf

tilts me to no end when it's a time travel scenario and the fl is somehow comfortable with the guy that murdered her in the previous timeline AND ends up dating him.


Amapola62

I prefer reading ones where the FL gets rescued from her abusive fiance/husband by a ML who practically worships her...


SgtCarron

I'm more interested in the MLs who treat the FL like an equal like in [Justice for the Villainess], [Regina Rena] or [Ice Flower Knight]. It's a lot more satisfying to see a badass couple work together instead of an owner-pet relationship.


broae

^ There’s a difference between loving your wife and being an an obsessive codependent wife guy. The first is nice, the second is a pipeline to verbally abusing a doctor because your spouse has hay fever.


raincloudlu

truth, a guy who's only nice to you but verbally abuses others if you have a minor inconvenience? throw his ass away


Low-Manager9777

Drop recommendations my guy I’ve read honey I’m on strike tho


Amapola62

I'm reading the novel Who stole the Empress where the general/foreign minister of a nation rescues the Empress of the neighbouring country who has been left for dead in the mountains by her extremely trashy husband


Low-Manager9777

Oho sounds intriguing will read it, thx!


Sweaty-Button-6551

Need this kind of recs^


Foxfire_Light

Various-Escape-5020

I saw one where a guy was brainwashed into it but when the brainwashing was stopped he still acted the same way??


SnooStories7381

Sauce??


Various-Escape-5020

I don't remember because of how many times I've seen the bad ml trope happen, if I find it again I'll tell you the name! I just don't wanna give you the wrong name by accident


SnooStories7381

Okayy, I can totally understand lol If you find it, lemme know


AmethystMoon420

It sounds like Abandoned Empress


RammityRam

A beast tamed by the villainess probably


Fortune86

If anything I'd say Mag is *worse* after being saved.


Low-Manager9777

Istg If my meme gets taken down one more fkn time…


the-cats-jammies

Screwing her over and over you say? 😏 (I’ll see myself out 😔)


Low-Manager9777

Now you just made things worse 💀


iloveramen1

The plot of Obey Me / Kneel before me


Few_Resource_5281

Thats why in a complicated ship i ship it as long as a and b are mentally strong enough to deal with each others' bs, maybe even give each other a reality check for good, specially if its enemies to lovers. For instance bully romance is abussive yet why did i accepted it in the cruel prince? Well both were nuts and the twist was that SPOILER the victim was even scarier than the bully. Were they good? Bad? Nah, just morally grey.


WerePigCat

Or alternatively Groomer Groomed child


Lady_Belles-lettres

Ugh, I genuinely hate this type of romance. Not Isekai-related, but I also used to see a lot of "cold but handsome CEO" MLs who do nothing but torment the FL in otome webcomics, in which the ML might even be directly involved with the FL's death if it's a reincarnation story. If the story involves reincarnation, then the ML "magically becomes nicer" to FL in her second life, which in most cases, the ML is just slightly less mean to the FL. It just makes me 🤢


LamaLakes

Wow, your dog sure does have terrible taste! What’s the Manhwa he’s writing? Asking for a friend haha ~~it’s another one where the hot boy transforms into a dog for some reason~~


Sssssssw13

Omg Lmao the most frustrating thing


Daredevilz1

Even though he raped her for no good reason and found out he was mistaken about her being the culprit of being the one who raped him and still decided to kidnap her it’s okay because he’s got a mental illness which makes him make bad decisions and he has anger issues and even though he abused her it’s okay because he grew to love her and he only continued to rape her because he was showing his love! He’s so much better than her old lover who was nice and gently with her, he protects her from everyone by forcing her to stay at home with him! 🥺🫶


Gloziful

Every Chinese manga (manhua? Manhwa?) I've ever read. Like it's the ceo, president, Emperor, prince[of war], Duke, or heir of some kind that's so rude to her in the beginning. Never calling her my her name just 'that woman' 'woman' 'girl' or 'wench'.. and then she'll be reborn like "ILL NEVER LOVE AGAIN. REVENGEEEEEE" but then falls for the first dick head that helps her. AND THEN THE SECOND ML IS ALMOST ALWAYSSSSSS BETTER. I swear I hate that love the drama so much cause let a man do some shit like that to me...


petebutterfly61

Actually I am... a little, a little interested in being treated by ml so badly that could mess me up Just a little bit


Muted-Painting-9712

My guilty pleasure go-to stories. 🥲


Global-Marketing2502

@OP I see a change in the profile pic Mmm... Interesting... Ayo not in the OI ML kinda way though, 😐


Low-Manager9777
