Please recommend some revenge stories....I would rather direct revenge...not the karma/life lived well types and no "dig two graves" type stories either where the actual revenge ends up hurting the protagonist in some fashion even if its nominal. I just want to see the good guy win and the bad guy(s) get punished severely. Thanks in advance!
While several of my stories not listed below do have some revenge components as part of the story, the ones below are mostly based on the story of the revenge aspect.

For revenge stories, try looking at other threads in the forum asking about BTB (Forum > Search > BTB (or burn the bitch)). Even if you want non-BTB stories, those searches return threads with more general revenge recommendations, often with some discussion or plot sketch so you can get an idea if you'd like them.
I can think of twp stories called "Best served cold". One here and one on Wes Boyd's site.
ETA: there are eight stories here with that phrase in the title.
Thanks for the Wes BOyd recommendation. I read the BTB cheating wives stories sometimes but I really didn't want the details/angst/drama of the actual adultery. This story starts after all that is over and focuses on the planning and revenge.
If you want to see a good guy win, may I recommend the Dark Days series by Reluctant-Sir. https://storiesonline.net/a/reluctant-sir
I have never read a story with a more bone chilling opening than the Dark Days series. The series is about the survival and triumph of a boy who manages to build an empire dedicated ... Well, you just have to read it to understand his drive.
I just finished reading Loose Cannons. Its not a bad story but not quite what I was looking for. Nobody really won or came out on top at the expense of the "bad guys" and the none of the cheaters suffered.
I can't remember where I read it, either here or ASTR, but the story was a BTB where the husband was a contractor who had just built his wife's dream house. And once he finds out she's cheating on him he burns it to the ground and landscapes the lot so it looks like nothing was ever there.
IIRC Vandemonium had a story with that plot line. Contractor builds wife a dream house, while the wife is away with her lover he demounts it from the foundations and takes it away. After the divorce he puts it back and moves in. Unfortunately he has deleted his stories.
There are two stories with the 'bulldoze everything and lay new turf' idea over on Lit. I can't recall the names or authors.
In the Clearwater Universe stories, I believe Her Apple Pie and In Her Genes,there is what you want. Producer has singing contest and drugs female winners (Apple Pie) and gets killed in Genes. In Apple Pie MC is warned not to BTB as he is given what happened by another character.
