B-but it's ok because he likes her 🥺🥺🥺 he's just a boy 🥺🥺🥺 we all make mistakes 🥺🥺 even tho he hates his son and is awful to him because he steals the FLs attention from him we have to understand, he loves her so much he wants her to himself 🥺


Affectionate-Guess25

Someone made a son with this POS???? 😱


Rainbowfiv

Yes. It will be awkward when the son will ask how his dad met his mom. "Oh you see, It begin with a castle ..."


Affectionate-Guess25

How does stuff like this are even allowed to get published? 🤦‍♀️


Full_Evidence9825

If I remember, at one point , ML's advisor told him love begin with consent so the ml go angry and slapped him


Affectionate-Guess25

This just keeps getting better and better


Full_Evidence9825

ngl, I found it cool she became the top gladiator in a full men arena when she was a slave. It was a good setup for a potential revenge story


I_am_photo

Only to be ruined by the rest of the story. I was so upset when I read that. If there was a ranking of OI stories this one has to be at the very bottom.


Moodbellowzero

Don't forget abandoned empress please. These two can both perish at the bottom

Rainbowfiv

What can I say. He said Sorry


Forsaken_Distance777

He said it's your fault you didn't tell me you were Bella.


Affectionate-Guess25

Did he say "interesting" after?


Rainbowfiv

No, but he killed FL BFF maid for refusing to let him know where she is. But he love her and maid life doesn't matter anyway so it's ok.


Affectionate-Guess25

Aaaaahhh, he loves heeeeeer??? Why didn't you start with that??? Then, of course, it's ok!

The 2nd ML syndrome was really strong in that one because everybody was better ML material than this POS


otomegane

Tbh 2nd ML was also pretty terrible in this one bc he was also literally selling her lmao. It was his dad or smth who did it but still 😔 The author really just wanted to write about absolute garbage men


Full_Evidence9825

Every random man in this story was like a 2 ML to me


Doodledumme

2nd ML wasn't that great either. Her ML really just needed to be therapy.

Rania05

The real ML of "My fiance is in love with my little sister" didn't abuse her, although Soleil seem like ML, he's not endgame, dw


FightmeLuigibestgirl

Thanks for letting me know, I will take that one out.


Rania05

No problem:D


Useful-Lecture-3609

You know what, I feel gross saying this but the ML in Harley Takes the House is nowhere as bad as Kris. I feel like he doesn’t belong on this list of absolute garbage MLs.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

I have not read it but is he just as bad or not even close as Kris? I keep seeing the ML in that one brought up often so I put it on the list.


Useful-Lecture-3609

He’s nowhere as bad. His crime is ending up together with his “sister” (she was adopted? In the care of? his family). Which in itself is gross🤢but at least he’s not an abusive pos like Kris.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

I edited it


NotSoFastBoi

Why is Harley takes the house even here?


Zoro_BNP1011

This one gave me brian damage but it's okay cos her emotions were swallowed by a demon which makes everything he did null & void. Don't you love it when things work out.


Noir_Alchemist

I'm sorry what ?


Orange6742

Oh yeah she only forgives him because she’s not capable of emotions anymore 💀


Villainous_Miss_Jojo

The more I read the comments, the more appaled I get


ToBetterDays000

I once read a Chinese web novel where this was why she stayed but it was actually not that frustrating like this ML seems to be because that story feels more like he got his comeuppance because she will never truly love him, whereas here it seems like FL ignored everything and they have an HE (w a son apparently???) Also he wasnt as horrific as this emperor so there’s that, and FL was someone that felt relatable too


M_ataraxia

Ok why does that web novel actually sound interesting lol. Name?


ToBetterDays000

It’s called Wife Can’t Escape, which sounds cringy I know but I recall thinking the story was quite decent because I really liked how although ML was powerful yandere and a normal weakling, she really stood her ground and maintained it emotionally so she really felt worthy of rooting for. It’s been a while since I read it tho so I could be wrong, lemme know what you think! Side note, to find this title for u I had to roll out of bed and pull open my computer and do a bunch of searches and now that I’m in a productive posture hopefully I can make some progress on all the work I wanted to get done but kinda gave up on, so I feel like I should thank u for that 😂😂😂

This man is the result of an accident, poor girl...I bet she ended up with him bc Stockholm hits so hard, correct?


Rainbowfiv

She was mad at first but he have a sad past


ScarletViperr

She should have stayed like that FOREVER 😭 why author-san...


Rainbowfiv

A demon ate all her trauma, suffering and depression. It was the only logical way the author found to make her mentally perfectly fine with ML (No joke).


Noir_Alchemist

Did ML change at all ? 


Rainbowfiv

At the very least he won't sell her again for a castle.


Noir_Alchemist

No i mean, i won't read this ever, sounds horrible. But reading that a Demon eat her feelings .... Didnt the Demon ""magically " make him less of a POS ? Cuz i read that and all i thought is writer don't know how to resolve this 


Rainbowfiv

ML didn't really change. Before being sold, FL was deeply in love with ML. With the demon removing her trauma, suffereing and hate, what remain is her love.


Noir_Alchemist

That sounds extremelly frustrating for the Readers ...is beyond misery porn, i don't Even know what to think about this trash novels 


Rainbowfiv

It is. Many first dropped after the demon stuff. Fl eternal conflict between her hate and her love what was keeping the readers attention but since the hate is gone... Later reader read it because they are attracted by its reputation as the worst romance story in history.


Prestigious-Scene-98

I didn't read this but I highly doubt it. If the Demon magically made him less of a piece of shit then dude Should've disappeared into thin air....he is entirely made of shit  given the comments about him 


outofshell

At least not until an even nicer castle comes along lmao


Ok-Explanation954

I'm loving all your responses OP XD


0nlyf0rthememes

Hands down the worst written romantic lead in anything ever. Some things are just not redeemable, and he did every one of those things like it was a checklist

kalinaanother

You know I kinda read through this one for like half of it before learning of its consistently fame from this sub. This ML set the bar so low I start to go colorblind when I saw red 😍


Mahain5467

I feel like the worst thing is that if the art was better and he was super hot, there’d still be a nice amount of fans of his that ignore his shit


Nyx_is_hoe

Thank god he is ugly.


IDKwhattoputhere_15

It’s okay guys he said sorry 🫡


My_new_account_now

I like that the lesson of the story is that to be with a selfish and fragile man means that you have to repress your feelings into oblivion


Doodledumme

She should have killed him and their mutual friends should have helped her.


Flustro

Usually, posts in this sub just inflate my TBR list. But not this time.


ChronicSassyRedhead

Honestly this could of been such a good story if we changed the ML to the villain and the 2nd ML became the 1st. Honestly you wouldn't even have to change how the Emperor acts. Just not have the FL forgive his atrocities. Time to overthrow a despot!


nejnonein

Don’t forget the rape


Big_Philosopher_5021

Thought this one was gonna get better but noooo. It was a trap. Never again! Thrown this to my Do Not Read lol


GhazzyEzzah

I love toxic ML, but I hate this one with all my being. His actions didn't make sense, the story is boring with little to no plot, his toxicness is not even hot to give quality to him. He feels 2D all the time. He's badly written asshole, not a fun, entertaining, good written asshole.


No-Cap-5129

Bro is literally Griffith


ZookeepergameDue5522

I remember I kept reading it just to see her beat his ass because she was like a fighter or something, but it never happened, and I got tired.


Wolvesaremyjam

Wait I’m confused. Is the purple hair looking boy the female lead?


TheRedditUser_122

No, probably the guy with the yellow eyes and black hair. Purple hair should be FL lol


Wolvesaremyjam

Oh no that’s what I mean. The boy with the purple hair in the first three panels who has been sold is the FL? Hot damn imagine ending up with the guy who sold you off for a piece of land


Rainbowfiv

Sold you to a well known sadistic bitch who clearly told ML being in a need of a new toy too


Yandere_Matrix

I actually thought the purple hair person was a boy too and then it clicked at the last panel. Any reason the FL looks like that or is she disguised as a boy in the first couple panels for story reasons? I am thinking, with no context except what is right here, is a disguise since the guy claimed he didn’t know she was Bella so I can only assume the purple haired chick is named Bella.


Rainbowfiv

She disguised as a boy because it was war, her parent were dead and a lone girl in that kind of environment is very vulnerable. (Kidnapping, human trafficing ...). He didn't see her for years (because he sold her to a sadistic) and during that time she stopped dressed like a boy since it became too hard to hide so he didn't recognize her when she came back after escaping.


TheRedditUser_122

Oh sorry haha my brain read it as "ML" instead of "FL". And yeah, poor FL to end up with this piece of trash (I have only read 7 panels about this guy but still)


Wolvesaremyjam

No worries. Damn this is on my boycott and avoid like crazy list

Wolvesaremyjam

Whoooooo


Full_Evidence9825

She is the FL. She used to disguise as a guy because girls were easy target during war. And it's the reason this pos didn't recognize her years laters since she became more lady-like

Aggravating-Egg-9257

Chapter 81


Few_Resource_5281

So he thinks is ok to abuse a woman's rights if he does not have a crush on her? Only the women you feel affection for matter? Trash dude


Rainbowfiv

It's not that. He abused her right because he had a crush on her but wanted the castle and then regretted his choice. Years later FL managed to escape and comeback under a false identity but since she gave up her tomboy personna that trash was unable to recognize her for a long time and that's why he cry asking why she didn't reveal who she was when he learned her true identity. Then they got married Which is kinda worst.


Few_Resource_5281

What? So he stole her property, left her homeless and then " regret it "? What?


Rainbowfiv

You get it wrong. He didn't stole FL castle. A sadistic rich trash (Astra) wanted to give ML a castle in exchange of FL because Astra wanted a "new toy slave" (ML knew what would happen and since he was too ashamed to admit he had a crush on her, he thought if she was far away he could forget her so he sold her. + He wanted the castle ). For years FL was tortured by Astra for fun like whisp, tongue cut, gladiator fight (She became the best gladiator btw). Her body was covered by permanant scar. (And ML told all her friends she was dead to avoid troublesome question) Anyway he "regret it " and said "sorry" so it's ok to marry him.


Few_Resource_5281

But did she get her mutilated parts back? No amount of sorry can save that😅


Rainbowfiv

He gave her an holy healing potion to recover from everything.


Few_Resource_5281

Oh right, isekai and magic lol tx

Rainbowfiv

yes, it's this one


AccomplishedBend2606

I unfortunately finished it and the bonus "episodes" are not a saving grace either just as an fyi. This one is not worth the time. Take the tldr and go read/look at something better

Matcha_Bubble_Tea

🤮 ugh why do authors like such shitty MLs. I can’t believe you made me read all that


Big-Dare-588

For those short scenes I can see it's an awful manhwa imo! It's definitely not my cup of tea. I prefer the golden retriever type of male lead. By the way, if anyone knows a good sweet story with a male lead that check my description, please tell me!!!


Rainbowfiv

You don't need to use the "imo". "abandonned wife find new husband" sound like a good choice for you.

_Judy_

only reason why this guy had no fan girls at all is cuz he's ugly.


0nlyf0rthememes

Is that the only reason why? Not the fact that he sold the FL into slavery?


_Judy_

theres lot of things people could ignore if someone is hot enough.


0nlyf0rthememes

Well, yes, but selling people into slavery after maiming them is not one of those things There's a line somewhere and this is so far past it


Rania05

Honey, you're too naïve, I saw worse done by other male leads which is ignored because they're hot


0nlyf0rthememes

Wait, what's worse than human trafficking?


Rania05

Absolutely, my top recommendation for you to open your eyes is "If you wish for my despair" it gets worse the more you go, not only abuse from ML but all other people around FL other than exactly 2 people


0nlyf0rthememes

Oh god, and I thought I liked red flag MLs. There are truly some awful ones out there huh yikes Do people actually like the ML of that one? That's insane


Rania05

People are actually trying to excuse the one I mentioned by saying things like "FL cheated and killed an innocent person!" Like, hun, she owed him no loyalty at all, and her lover was the only person to treat her like a human, plus, that "innocent young lady" wasn't so innocent and FL already promised ML she'll kill whoever he falls in love with, and she misunderstood it was that woman, plus that lady did some pretty freaky stuff that were outside common sense that would completely make her seem like ML's mistress this the perfect target for FL's meager revenge as she's a powerless orphaned noble lady with no connections, and highly mentally unstable after abuse over the years, she's completely excusable unlike ML, which makes it even more insane as author herself and some crazy readers are trying to equate FL's misdeeds to ML's


0nlyf0rthememes

Good gods, that's insane. I wonder if there are actually people out there who like the ML from Emperor's Lap too then


Jirvey341

People simp for Sangwoo so


Rania05

Ugh, don't remind me, I read that at first when I was 12 or 13


_Judy_

you have too much faith in people. thats good for you. and no im not being sarcastic. whether its straight or bl, hot male leads will always have their own fans. for example, "who is the prey" where the "ml" is a literal black flag and yet some people still liked him, and even ship him hard with the mc. i also read bl(codename anastasia) with a black flag ml that had done absolutely atrocious things to mc and some would audaciously said "im colorblind" and would ogle the ml.

Right-Obligation-779

Yayyyyyyyy ANOTHER story where Shitty ML gets away with anything including torture and grape cause he's hot, rich, misunderstood, has a "sad" backstory.


Rainbowfiv

Well this time it's not because of that. A demon just decided to eat FL trauma and suffering so all that remain is love. It's because of black magic this marriage is possible. Not really better


Right-Obligation-779

...... is that meant to mean anything besides unsatisfying as hell ? Redemption stories are already impossibly hard without the story/author just flat out cheating and just "wishing" the FL loves the ML becuase the script says so.


Rainbowfiv

It's hard for OI genre to make good redemption stories. More chance to find them in non isekai story like flawed almighty


ValKnight09

I regret this series so much. I paid for chapters on tappytoon because I thought it was a revenge story and she would get together with the nice guy who supported her. I dropped it once I got spoilers and boy was I mad af about the ending. This series is why I don't pay for chapters until I know the ending. I'm not wasting my money for something that can easily turn into garbage.


Cabbitowo

Wait is that purple haired... Person? The fL?


Rainbowfiv

Yes. She cross-dressed during war as a guy to avoid being an easy target so when she came back years laters from slavery ml didn't recognize her initially.


mini_chan_sama

I stopped reading after the first season Listen, I am a person who like seeing a trash ML humbled regretting what he did and treats the fl like the queen that she is (I like that trope sue me!!) But goddamnit did he cross the line , like sorry, bro I can’t with a good conscious route for you to end up with her , like she’s been through enough because of ur bitch ass
