Idk if wife can't scape can actually be counted too...? I mean the ml did suffer but not nearly as much as the fl
Thanks for the rec! Haven't read that one but its been on my "To-read" list for a while. I'll have it a read and add it on the list later with my opinion review.
The thing with these angst tropes is always ML's repent being nowhere near how FL suffered and the authors will have the audacity to give the ML and FL a happy ending cuz *ohh no cant u see the poor ML who cried and regretted*
@maymthu you're welcome.
Ikrrrr like ml regrets for 5 chapters after making fl go through hell for 50-100 chapters straight & then BOOM ML forgiven 'happy ending
BTW your list is awesome idk why I forgot to mention in in my first comment :)
@Hell is boring hehehe thank u i love sharing my passion for angsty novels cuz i guess i like to torture myself
