Book where the MC is hated for a reason? (With no romance as the focus) (lemm.ee)

In universe I mean, not by the reader. I remember the few times I saw stories like that were fairly… cringe; the MC was usually a loner and the people didn't have a good reason to hate him, if any at all!

But when there is a reason, whether it would be something they did in the past or being bad in the present? I love the drama and conflict potential. Does anyone know a book like this?

In the Scholomance series, the narrator has this curse of unlikeability over her. But she decides to fully lean into it and is an absolute jerk to everyone, and it's pretty glorious to see her being so freaking rude to the few people who actually want to befriend her.

I recommended this series to everybody who even slightly gave the impression of needing a book tip
