As the title says. Too many stories teach that revenge or violence is not the way and the person doing the revenge either shows mercy or doesn’t and is changed/thinks it was all actually for nothing. I wanna read the stories where… well, as the title says

*The Count of Monte Cristo* by Alexandre Dumas; it’s the OG happy-ending revenge story. It looks intimidating because it’s so long (and old), but it’s so much more readable than you’d expect, and save for a few bits, it’s really fast and plot-driven.
*Carrie* by Stephen King might also work as the main character doesn’t seem to regret getting her revenge, but I’m not sure I’d say it’s a happy ending.
*The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo* by Stieg Larsson has a good revenge story as its secondary plot, so if you like murder mysteries you can read that and a revenge story all in one!
*Slewfoot* by Brom?
