Am I too petty about Regression Manwhas? :(

Sometimes, I wish authors let the fl be more petty and less forgiving. What do you mean you were abused, neglected or killed by the people around you and you forgive them in 10 chapters or less? Worse of all, even marry them?

Scars heal and that they are different from the people that hurt her in that other timeline? Or even if she regresses to the time she was still getting ignored, it's okay now because they notice her existence after she does a 180? It was her fault for not being loved because she was evil and totally not her upbringing? They'll make up for all the love she lacked in her past lives in this one, through love bombing and gifts? Ok, boss, I understand.

Logically, it can make sense, but all these fls, even as former villainess, have the patience and mercy of a saint. Haha that's why they awaken as some sort of saint and savior most of the time, no?

Even in those revenge tropes, they don't really recognize the emotional effects of their experiences in their behavior besides "I need to crush them because they cheated." The genre either goes in the pushover "I love you because I love the world" fl, or the flat "I will destroy everyone who hurt me through money from marrying the crown prince/duke of the north."

It's sad that it's basically signaling that the only way you could be loved is if you serve others.
