Generally this leads to a Mary Sue if they either get over their revenge or if it’s played as the right thing to do.
Revenge is just inherently a morally grey area that never goes anywhere good. When a writer leans into that it’s usually fantastic

MC doing dumb / risky sh*t in horror, adventure, mystery or thriller stories and still comes out alive (and usually unscathed)… That is a superpower I’d like to have.

What if going to people who are supposed to give out justice (like the police) does not go right… and then revenge is their only way out?

Still morally grey. Taking ‘’‘justice’’’ into one’s own hands doesn’t lead to a good place emotionally. And stories that portray that are doing a disservice to real people.
This is coming from someone who loves the trope, has experience with this in real life and plans to write several revenge stories over the course of my stories. Usually revenge is good for making a compelling antagonist or antihero, because it’s easier to make them morally grey and somewhat dubious in the whole ‘level-headed’ department. A hero though? That’s hard, but when it works, it works

That’s an interesting take on it, what would you say to people who are writing this trope?

Forget about making your hero entirely likable or relatable. The only way you could possibly do that is by making the villain cartoonishly evil, and by that point you’ve already failed because your hero is too good and your villain too bad. There’s a healthy middle ground of a villain being understandable but irredeemable and your hero having just cause but still being out to serve their own justice

Parents getting killed in the first episode is a no no to me. I’ve seen it too frequently in stories.

Possible, since the MCs are always the prettiest. There are multiple people who have a crush on one person in my school.
