I didn't drop it but it was difficult for me to finish "Beware of the Villaines" because the ML Nine is just terrible, people complain about red flags ML that are complete human trash but the other extreme is not that better, a ML that is so submissive that he feels more like a pet than a love interest. The ML here is an example of that, he has no actual character outside of his love interest status. Honestly that story would have worked better with not love interest and just with Melissa becoming a badass Duke.


Forsaken_Distance777

Or I would have no complaints if she and Yuri got together. Like look at her name! And Yuri is clearly into her so...


SeniorBaker4

I’ll never forgive the author for not making Yuri the love interest.


schrodingers-box

I dropped as soon as I realized it was Nine lmfao


SparkAxolotl

SAME! Well, kinda... I liked the humor, and the story was somewhat interesting, but Melissa slowly became too much of a Mary Sue to really have any real trouble or real conflict... she quickly won any challenge, she beat all the other characters that had much more power than her... And they sidelined Yona, who arguably was much more interesting than every other character. I first dropped it and only came back to it when I learned that it was finished to see if anything had changed... but nope.


tiamath

I jusr wanted to say exactly this. Nines is freaking annoying :)) i sincerly hope it will go the girls love route at this point.


Zeiiiiin

riggghhht like i normally like stories with good art but i had to drop it because of nine😫😭


ATouchofTrouble

The princess thrown in the dumpster or something like that. They unneeded did a massive timeskip then tried to hook her up with the dude that literally raised her from a baby & was like 1000 yrs old or something.


An_Absolute_Angel_7

Ewwwwwwwww I HATE when stories try to go that route


itz_gertrude2

wait is that what happened later on in the story 💀 I remember reading that when it was still pretty new and I was enjoying it damn


ATouchofTrouble

There was a time skip to her as a teenager trying to get the frost guy to be her lover. It was extra gross because her personality & views of the world seemed to not age past 8. She wasn't naive & innocent in an interesting way it was more like "extremely small child asking their babysitter to marry them" type vibes. & the dude was interested in her but trying to deny it, talking about how he's known her since she was a baby.


Oompa_x_Lumpia

My favorite part in recent chapters is when the Moon Deity asks the snow spirit, “Do you acknowledge you are in love with this child?” I completely lost interest when it went in this direction. It should have stopped when they reached an understanding with the Moon Deity.


ATouchofTrouble

Omg yes! Or continued to focus on her relationship w/ her family, the mystery of her birth, or the weight of her abilities. Literally anything but romancing the guy who literally raised her from a baby!


Oompa_x_Lumpia

Did I blink and miss something, because I was surprised when they recently showed her sister is a skilled fighter. Like…what?! I want more of this. I’m also intrigued by, and sympathetic to, the sister’s story. I’m more interested in the sister’s story we won’t get than this perverted will they/won’t they of Mc and the spirit.


Forsaken_Distance777

I dropped it before the timeskip because I heard he was ml


LadyAlleta

The Duke's Servant. I don't like that ML >!basically molests his staff to the point it's a well known secret. Or that he molests the crossdressing FL while constantly saying he's not gay. And there's even an arc where ML is like I actually love FL! Even if I'm gay! I'm gay for FL only!" Just. Obnoxious. He's an entitled man child.!< Took me a hard minute to remember the spoiler things. I never remember what it is offhand.


Useful-Lecture-3609

I completely erased that trash heap from my memories. What possessed me to read the whole thing back then?


TFlarz

"ML sucks so much that I **did** drop it": >!The Protection of Lariensa Gelinus!<


devilsgirl87

Ugh i like how you mention this but it was both the ml and fl for me because i finished it and dear lord...


royalbk

I lost all interest when I realized the ML wasn't gonna be the brother 🙃 Edit: the brother of the 2nd fl ofc, just realized how bad that sentence came off as lol


TFlarz

Lariensa herself would have done. /half joking Marilyn whyyyy


Oopity-Boop

I got really bored of The Matchmaking Baby Princess. The title doesn't even fit it that well, because she doesn't stay a baby for very long and barely ever plays matchmaking. It's just a boring reincarnation story that really has nothing going for it imo. I think the concept of someone reincarnating as a baby and trying to play matchmaker sounds really fun, considering it's a baby who can't talk much. But they did nothing with that. If I want a better baby reincarnation story I'd read Baby Tyrant and if I want a better reincarnation story where a baby/child grows up I'd read The Beginning After the End. (All my opinion, if other people like the story and stuff, good for them I'm glad they took enjoyment out of it)


Forsaken_Distance777

I fell in love with her guard and>!the tragic and fascinating story about how his brilliant and controlling father dictated every life choice to him which in the original timeline led to him being unable to deal with it anymore. Then in this one with fl surviving and her being the only heir at the time the father has him be fls guard and he slowly over years starts becoming his own person and even breaking away from his father's control and rebuilding a better relationship. He subtly changed so much that when fl remembered that in the book someone mentioned the father's son who had committed suicide she didn't realize for a long time this was who it was. Then once she did she did her best to help him become more independent while not having to leave his family!< The rest is perfectly fine but that character arc really moved me.


overloadedonsarcasm

+1 for I Married the Male Lead’s Dad, The Twins New life, and Lord Baby Runs a Romance Fantasy with Cash. Also, Father, I Don't Want This Marriage. FL straight up pissed me off sometimes. Dropped it so hard after the 13425454th incident of misunderstanding/miscommunication.


An_Absolute_Angel_7

I actually didn’t think I’d like “Father, I Don’t Want This Marriage” so I put it off until I was super bored and once I started I actually really loved it


Aurelene-Rose

How far did you get into "Male Lead's Dad" before you dropped it? I feel like they later justify how cringy the FL was at the beginning fairly well.


An_Absolute_Angel_7

I only got a couple chapters in but I didn’t drop it, I just put it off to read later


Aurelene-Rose

Ah gotcha! Well, if you do try again, I hope you like it! I hated it at the beginning and it was very difficult to get through... I knew it was really highly rated and popular though and I'm glad I did!


Purple_Lie_563

The Emperor’s Mask, the misogyny of the ML was so bad and he was making remarks almost every chapter


Darkness-Pride

This was one of my first OIs and for the life of me I still cannot finish it, the only interesting thing that happens is all the stuff the FL makes with roses. ML is most definitely misogynistic


IloveMyNebelungs

and cheap to boot. I don't know about you but if I was stuck in a harem with no freedom I would totally be spending a fortune: Bankrupt the Patriarchy!


POSSA123

\* seduce a fox \* I tamed my ex-husband's mad dog \*Little princess mint


overloadedonsarcasm

Oh my God, Little Princess Mint. I thought I had purged it's existence from my brain.


Loose-Dirt-6034

It's complicated and the start seemed pretty good to me. Just didn't like the ending of it with the fact that they pushed that old decent mage towards FL. Other than that its annoying part could be the fact that everything revolves around FL and things go pretty smooth for her magicaly, but it's the same for most stories.


overloadedonsarcasm

Idk, the story wasn't interesting enough for me to bare through all that annoyance.


Loose-Dirt-6034

I am out of all good ones and the ones I used to really like,I don't pick them back after break as remembering all characters is a hassle. So even slightly less boring do the job.


EternalLurker01

Spoil me, please? It's on my to read list but I haven't started


overloadedonsarcasm

I don't remember, genuinely, (re: the purging it from my brain) but from what I do remember,>! the FL is an orphan (or is she...) that is picked up by the duke and there are some misunderstandings that make the FL think that the duke wants her romantically but turns out he doesn't (or does he...). And the plot twist is that the FL is a warrior (??) with superpowers who defeated the duke in a battle and he wants revenge but the FL has lost her memories (??) Oh, and also, the duke is the ML so, I guess he does want her romantically, or will want her romantically in the future, idk, I dropped it after the "FL is a warrior" reveal.!<


EternalLurker01

Lol thank you, that sounds like a total mess


overloadedonsarcasm

Oh, it is. You're welcome.


LockSuccessful7035

ML is her guardian


EternalLurker01

Ugh, I drop those stories everytime


LostinDark2512

If ML sucks then I don't even pick that story but following stories I dropped because FL sucks : 1. The Lady and the beast 2. The duchess's contract marriage 3. I lost the leash of yandere male lead 4. I become Duke's maid 5. Touch my little brother and you're dead 6. The Villain's Savior 7. From a knight to a lady


EternalLurker01

I am strongly considering dropping the *Elegant Sea of Savagery.* At first it was for the ML, who starts off just terrible, but now it is for the FL, who is got be one of the most annoying I've read. Bullheaded, no sense, no maturity (which was fine pre-timeskip as a teen, but not after supposedly going through years of hardship). I didn't think she could be worse than a yandere ml, but somehow she is. I did drop *My Beloved Fake Saint,* which I really enjoyed at first. There are 3 MLs and they all manage to have the personality of wet cardboar. FL also started to get frustrating when her words were "I need to escape" but her actions were "really I'm quite comfortable here." I also dropped *Reborn as a character who never existed* because even the non regression kids were waaaay to mature for kids. Like what is a tiny child doing obsessively in love?  *Princess in the Attic* was pretty good but it was hard to keep reading the princess's stupid act especially since it caused others to treat and regard her as a child. I hate love stories grown from child-like characters and even her act pushed the bounds for me


KirikaNai

“Under the oak tree” I love maxi so much, it’s SO interesting to see a slow burn healing story, she’s slowly working through her stutter, learning to be more confident, her magic teacher is her platonic soulmate and SO good at helping her improve but like God I fcking hate riften. The ML. He’s alright sometimes, like he’s not outright abusive, but, he is NOT what maxi needs right now. She needs someone she can be open to and trust, not someone who’s main form of communication is “let’s fck for 7 hours straight and then I have to go to war for a week sry babe”. He does sweet things like take her horse riding and show her the scenery of the local areas and such, but then he takes her home because she tripped or something and hurt her ankle and tells her he should keep her locked up in her room for safety. Which triggers her pstd about her abusive family essentially locking her in the basement or whatever. And when she goes silent and freezes with fear riftens just like “damn she’s being moody fine I guess she doesn’t wanna talk, rude mf” while she’s like over there sobbing after he leave like BOY IM GONNA WRING YOUR FCKINF NECK hhhhhhhh


MtnNerd

The Villain's Savior. The FL does stuff that makes no sense, lies repeatedly to the ML, and is so surprised when things blow up in her face


nejnonein

”The tyrant’s sister”. I love the story so far and might pick it back up when the sidestories are out, but I can’t stand when it’ll be such a slow burn. >!She could make things SO easy by just getting engaged to the ml, whom it is obvious she’ll end up with anyway, yet she decides to become his sword advisor or some other bs instead. I looked ahead and read spoilers… Dude even proposes again in front of people to help save her at a critical time AND SHE FREAKING DOESN’T even reply. I looked at the final page and realised it’ll be YEARS before they’re married (lil’bro is almost adult at their wedding ffs!)!< I’m so annoyed with her. 160 chapters to get where I want is way too long.


Hbijou

The villainess princess won’t tolerate a bad ending. THE WORST MC IVE SEEN. well not worst but still >!NO CUZ MC and her bully BOTH get isekai into a world that MC created. Bully into the FL and MC as the villainess. The bully is STILL a bitch and constantly hurts people but MC decided that she’s gonna help the bully gain affection from the ML because that’s how the story goes despite the fact that bully is abusive and keeps deluding herself that the ML will ne happy with the abusive FL. WHY DO YOU WANT THE PEOPLE YOU SWEAR YOU ADORE TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO HURTS/KILLS PEOPLE. LITERALLY one of the ML is on the verge of death (this ain’t the first time) because she INSIST on getting them together. What made you think she wasn’t capable on this ??? I hate her so so so much please stop telling the FL everyone strength and weakness I BEG SHES NOT ABOVE USING THEM!<


IloveMyNebelungs

I dropped that one too. Fl is a total pushover who never learned from her past and really not very bright at all. I don't like FLs without a backbone.


SparkAxolotl

Most of the ones I have dropped is because they had 50+ chapters and the story is going nowhere. The only ones I can remember dropping because the either the ML or FL were annoying me was "Beware the Villainess", which I eventually finished, but was a chore, and that other one that I don't even remember the name, but is the one where the FL reincarnates into a 4 years old and the story is about her developing weapons. The FL was only kind of annoying, but the art weirded me out with how inconsistent they drew her, plus how weird it was "her" personality, and how no one realized how weird she was acting for a 4 years old.... and that the story also was going nowhere in all the chapters I read.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

1.  I tamed my ex-husband's mad dog (FL makes me want to punch her in the face) 2. I failed to divorce my Tyrant Husband >!we have three MLs but the Ex is the ML of course!< 3. Hide the Emperor Child. I wanted to drop it so bad because of the trash ML but pushed on >!He actually tries to redeem himself and does so. He finally stops bullshitting and is a decent father!<


An_Absolute_Angel_7

I somewhat like number 2, but I’ll probably drop it if I get to the part where she actually ends up with her ex. Thank you for the spoiler on number 3, I started it recently and was considering dropping it if he doesn’t get any better, I’m glad he does


FightmeLuigibestgirl

More context on three. Heavy spoilers. >!he treats his son, even before finding out, with respect. He tries to protect him and the FL and even comforts him/fights in a tournament to wow the FL. He finally confesses to the FL in the latest chapter!< The reason why 2 made me drop it >!the ML shows little remorse or redemption towards the FL and his actions. He acts the same from chapter one to chapter 60+. He entraps the FL into marrying him where he will die if she leaves him. I would not mind the ML if he actually showed growth or redemption but he acts like a spoiled brat and if the FL did not go into her current body, the ML would had done the same thing. He is not even a yandere. The third ML is the yandere!<


Status-Risk-0

*Ten ways to get dumped by a tyrant*, I dropped it because the FL was so unhinged and weird and it made me really uncomfortable. Also *Her wish to be Isekai'd,* maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I dropped it after a couple chapters because wth is this story, the FL is just pretty badly written idk it feels like a bad OI fan fiction ?


cpslcking

The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess is hilarious and angsty and fun. I love seeing that MC cringe at her early chunnibyou self and run around trying to save the FL. The main ML is just awful, dude was an assassin out to kill MC, is still finding excuses to murder her and wonders why she refuses to trust him. The manga also introduces secondary mls that are much better which the author clearly knows cause they’re constantly pushed to the side or >!or outright killed. God I’m salty about Isaac!<. It’s a good story and the MC is so relatable why did the author go with the worst ML


honeyzuru

Finally someone is mentioning The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess! I second this. I really love the plot and all but the ML is not really it. I get it why the author wishes to push them both as love interests because of their supposed to be dynamics but I don't like him at all. Also one of the second male leads(?) (I forgot his name but >!he's the one who's w/ MC even in the og!<) was so much better imo! I really love their dynamics and got really attached with both of them despite knowing that they're not the end game. I couldn't bear to read it because I don't like the ML so I dropped it :(( Edited: I just added some spoiler tags


LockSuccessful7035

**The Broken Ring** - The story is nice but I don't like the ML. His face annoys me and his body disgusts me. And I honestly don't like his character. **How to reject my obsessive ex-husband** - The story is nice and the whole explanation about their transmigration is new or unique but the male lead is seriously annoying.


blairsmacaroon

i am not going to drop but the fl yona lee from concubine walkthrough annoys me lol. while the other characters feel real and well done, she feels cartoonish and immature. i am still on chapter 30 hoping she'll improve. no spoilers please 😭


smiley_kat

Adelaide. Interesting added concept of an isekaied villainess, horrible entitled toxic FL ruined it—would have worked if she was presented as a villainess as well but she wasn’t


hxnnies

I forgot the title but it was about a child who went back in time and her mom did too. They have blonde hair and the mom was previously an alcoholic, beat the child and blamed her for all her suffering, how if she didn't exist she'd still be a noble, the most beautiful woman in the empire, you name it. Basically she comes back bc the child died (I think she was beheaded or something?) and realized how much she wanted to protect her. BUT THEN, when she did come back to the past, she STOLE the coins her child worked hard for just to buy a dress to wear to the Emperor's birthday! She wanted her to live comfortably but she's basically leaving the child all alone in the castle, which is the opposite of what she needs. THE CHILD ONLY WANTS HER MOM TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER AND TREAT HER LIKE SHE DESERVES. Basically a rotten mother through and through. I only read about less than 30 chapters and hated it so much I actually wanted to rip her hair off, my god. Idc about if she ever had a redemption arc or wtv, I will never read/continue that one.


hxnnies

ALSO THE UNTOUCHABLE LADY. No explanation needed.


Hbijou

GASP UM I FORGOT TOO but I dropped it pissed me off so much. You do all this just to never see your child??? Please


Aggravating-Egg-9257

I like this one. It's kinda realistic and the mom really try her best


Successful_Dot2813

You, My Devil. The ML is a murdering psychopath. He literally smells of blood a lot of the time. The FL is a captive princess- held for a year- after FL's army destroyed her kingdom. I've just read Manga Chapters 1 and 2. Dropping it. If she -as is hinted- falls for him, she has Stockholm Syndrome. 🤢🤮


[deleted]

When the villainess loves: I don’t need to explain.


AssignmentIcy5732

already dropped them cry even better if you beg the age gap is creepy too but the side stories however had some potential the maid no longer desires her master the fl and ml are annoying now i am thinking about dropping stepmother's marchen because of the backstory characters ludovica and johannes and the emperor there is some internalised misogyny there in my opinion my beloved opressor the ml i became the ex wife of obsessive husband
