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?

Not quite what you're asking for, but Dalinor in The Way of Kings is at the very least distruted by his peers and hated/feared by the non-Alethi. He's not hated by most of the other main characters though, so not quite a loner that everyone hates. We don't really know why at first, but it ends up being for quite a good reason, and definitely leads to drama and conflict, as well as character development.
