Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.” And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.” And the Lord said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him. Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son—Enoch. To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech. Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute. And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. Then Lamech said to his wives:“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech!For I have killed a man for wounding me,Even a young man for hurting me. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

Note that Cain was not put to death for killing his brother, and God even prohibited men from putting him to death.
Note that Lamech killed a man in response to him assaulting Lamech, when the just punishment would be to do the same amount of harm, not "seventy-sevenfold."
Note that it's likely that the man who injured Lamech likely did it intentionally, which indicates that society is already breaking apart. In other words, lawlessness.
Correct. There were no transgressions against any absolute standard.
The only standard was what men felt like doing.
In other words:
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

God's law is absolute. Violating His law is sin.
But that doesn't mean that there has to be a law kept by men, nor that men's law is in line with God's law.
The only law that existed before the Flood was broken by Adam and Eve, and that law was, "do not partake of the law (the knowledge of good and evil).
There was no law (other than that there is no law by which men could be governed) between Genesis 3:23 and Genesis 8:19, which is right after the Flood, where God immediately repealed the "no law" status quo, and implemented a command to put to death those who shed man's blood.
“Whoever sheds man’s blood,By man his blood shall be shed;For in the image of GodHe made man. And as for you, be fruitful and multiply;Bring forth abundantly in the earthAnd multiply in it.”

God already tried not having a law to govern society. It ended in Him destroying the world and wiping out all humanity in the Flood, save eight people.
You clearly said God tried not having a law to govern society.
