Inspired by Spinestar for their poll about the most dissatisfying arc! Really interested to hear answers for this one because I feel people will have very different opinions. My guess is that Onestar’s Confession will take the cake, but I’d love to be proven wrong!

Tigerheart’s Shadow and Squirrelflight’s Hope are the banes of my existence, blugh.

Squirrelflight's Hope has yet to be replaced as the worst SE for me. Others that came before (Tigerheart's Shadow) or after it (Leopardstar's Honor) were bad too but at least had a few more interesting character or storyline moments lined up (such as the Guardian cats in TS and Tigerstar I in LH).
There were only like three scenes I liked in SqH: Squirrelflight exploring StarClan, Stormcloud trying to comfort Sparkpelt and BrambleSquirrel playing with Finchkit and Flamekit

Yellowfang's Secret. Younger me was so excited for it to come out and to see Yellowfang's backstory, and then when I finished it I was in small state of shock and denial because I knew I hadn't liked it lol

People hyped up Crookedstar's Promise to the moon and back when I first got into Warriors, and there's so much content surrounding it that I felt like it must be amazing. However, what ended up happening was that I just found it kind of okay. Certainly not bad or anything, but very underwhelming for all the hype people give it. My reaction was 'that's it?'. I found Tallstar's Revenge and Bluestar's Prophecy much more compelling books whose emotional drama felt like it resonated a lot more, personally, so I never really could get back on the train for it afterwards.

Bluestar's prophecy. People hyped it up so much that I was excited to read it but it's really not that good..? The story tries to be sad so bad that it feels forced. The characters were really meh and I couldn't care for any of them at all (like literally, I didn't like anyone). Also I didn't like the writing. The manga at the end was fun though

Leopardstar's Honor. It made me dislike her even more. lol
To clarify, it's not only the character that annoys me. The writing was terrible. And we didn't need yet another special cat to save the clans. It's overdone.
Squirrelflight's Hope is a close second. I'm disappointed that Squirrelflight caused problems instead of working with her mate. Drives me crazy.

I was super excited for Squirrelflight's Hope, mainly because I really wanted to see life in Starclan.
And we got all of 3 chapters of it. Boo

Given as I wasn’t part of the fandom until maybe the fifth book of TBC, I haven’t seen the release of many super editions nor had much information about the ones I read before exploring the online communities. Given that I guess I’d take Onestar’s Confession as the most disappointing to me.

Squirrelflight's Hope is easily the worst. Onestar's Confession is a strong second. Tigerheart's Shadow is an obvious third pick.
SH has caused irreversible damage to the WC community as a whole. OC was just a straight-up victim card snooze fest stuffed into one book. And TS was a glorifying goose chase that could have easily been avoided.

Onestar’s confession. I felt like I had to force myself to finish it.

Onestar's Confession for me. They omitted so much stuff it just made the book very disappointing

OneStar’s confession is horrible when I got the book, I took a look at the first few chapters and decided to stop reading it

I think some people are misunderstanding OP’s question. It’s not what SE is the worst, it’s which one did you have good expectations for but was ultimately disappointed.
For me, I think Tallstar’s Revenge. I loved him in TPB but gosh what a bland, boring book.

For me, I think Tallstar’s Revenge. I loved him in TPB but gosh what a bland, boring book. Thanks for clarifying this! ^^ I understand where everyone got confused, though. I also agree with Tallstar’s Revenge being disappointing. I remember skimming the book a couple chapters ahead and seeing nothing but 5 pages of text, no dialogue, no description of thoughts, nothing. I got SO BORED with it. Hot take but I was never really invested in Tallstar and Jake’s dynamic, either. Second place goes to Bramblestar’s Storm mainly because of Jessy. I thought she was going to be an actual rival to match Squirrelflight’s spunkiness but instead the potential was wasted. The other kittypets were also very bland.

Moth Flight’s for me. Expecting a medicine cat origin story, came out hating Moth Flight for being annoying and making dumb decisions for everybody else. Also it was boring because I can barely remember anything that happened in it.

I was debating between Hawkwing's Journey and Tigerheart's Shadow, but I went for TS because I think the first third or so is good and it fell off hard after that, meanwhile I can't think of a single thing I liked from HJ.

No desire to reread it though, love Squirrelflight but I hate having to read BrambleSquirrel drama.
