Count of Monte Cristo is also my favorite book. If you’re open to reading dark fantasy, the only other revenge story I have ever read that comes remotely close is Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie. I would recommend you read his first law trilogy first, but I think it can be read standalone. It is an excellent revenge story as well, with a relatable and imperfect protagonist, though not quite as good as TCoMC.
