The heroines/Fls in this genre always get more in trouble or in danger because an annoying stalker prince gets interested or obsessed with her?
That's right.
The manchild tsundere ML always toys with the struggling FL!
Beware of the Villainess is probably the first time where the spoiled Prince doesn't become pathologically obsessed with her.
Actually all the toxic MLs don't become crazy because of her because she is the lion queen bitch who can eat them alive.
And there is no dark haired superior brooding tyrant ML with blue, red, violet or golden eyes who easily overpowers and undermines her!!!
Melissa deteste this type of men and she won't chase after overpowered superior alphaholes! She takes her time and schemes how to gain sustainable strenght for herself and not to get blinded by these jerks convenient beauty and god given power.
Why She lives As A Villainess, I Tamed A Tyrant and Ran Away, Charming and The Beast, Anyone Can Becomes A Villainess, The Lady Wants To Rest + The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (Hostage) in a Former Enemy Country etc...
These FLs are portrayal at the beginning as powerful but they become easily inferior, weaker, clumsy, self-concious and confused once the Gary Stu appears...
The ML is more often a Gary Stu because the novel world is actually centered around him.
Since birth he is a larger than life person, has multiple talents, special abilities, every men envy him + see him as a threat, dumb evil jealous bitches want him, his so called flaws & sad past are absurd ridiculous and his only weakness is simping for the FL he tortured/mistreated/stalked...
SO THIS WHY I LOVE BAD BITCH MELISSA AND HER RUDE SNOB MAID YONAヾ(☆▽☆)
The Seme is a immature arrogant fuckboy and the Uke is getting sexually assaulted, kidnapped, tortured and almost raped/killed because of a blue-haired evil jealous psycho ex bitch + his hired crooks being obsessed with the dark-haired shit Alphahole.
This direction only served to make the Seme more heroic at the cost of the beefy insecure vulnerable Uke who can't help but to fall more in love with this shithead.
Being attracted to your lover's younger brother and comparing him to him...Seriously???
I would have enjoyed this story more if the Uke had more guts + self-respect and doesn't suffer & get in danger because of this playboy manchild who has to be the ML ╥﹏╥
It could have been just a sexy harmless absurd story about lust and how the the Uke is not a doormate/victim.
I highly recommend a more healthy progressive hot story like ON OR OFF!
Correct me, if I am very wrong but I noticed sth...
Even though America also has its modern elites, socialites and rich idiots, in the American entertainment stories I get the impression they are not portrayed as untouchable and invincible as those chaebols in K-Dramas...
This is further emphasized that the commoner characters in both Western and Asian Storytelling worship the rich + powerful but the difference is I personally notice is:
In K-Dramas we see often how many characters fear and subservient they are to the elites.
In American shows/movies we have been shown protagonists or supporting/side characters who can hate, resent, harm, scheme, gamble, risk their lives, kill or do anything to take down their opponents regardless how powerful or influential they are...
In the story about western (rich asshole) characters we can see how very bold, mercilessly and disrespectful they can be against the patriarch of the family unlike in Korean mainstream media.
Maybe this is why some beloved unusual reincarnated Villainesses are more allowed allowed to fight, humiliate and destroy their toxic shitty parents because these modern Korean Women are transmigrated as white western characters.
Nevertheless they are still plenty FLs in fantasy Medieval Victorian Regency settings or very stupid Harlequin Romance Novels getting saved by the usually tsundere Alphaholes/MLs.
Is it a cultural thing? The flawed teaching of Confucius? Why can't many of the characters in mangas, manhwas or manhuas can't really blame or hold the guilty parents/elders accountable? Is it that almost impossible to walk away from your shit family?
In My Hero Academia we see bad parents suffered the consequences but I don't actually like the mixed messages...
Tomura Shigaraki became a fucked up villain because his father abused him since his own biological mother was a superhero who put him on foster care for good reason. Because his mother abandoned him became an idiot abusive asshole... In the end Shigaraki accidently killed his whole family because of years of abuse.
And Endeavor is suffering the public consequences of his pride, ambition and abusive behaviour that caused to traumatized his all of his family and turned his lost son into a psychotic mass murderer. But in the end it seems his wife and the rest of the children "forgave" him so they can all stop Dabi together...

Lady Bird, Fences, and Why You Don't Need to Forgive Your Parents
The thing is, I am an Asian and if wasn't born in Germany and grew up instead in a more conservative patriarchal country like China, South Korea or Japan I wouldn't even think or dare going against my parents/elders. Living in a more progressive European country (that also has its dark racist colonial history) allowed me easier to question and rebel against the bad negative aspects of Asian traditions/social rules.
This chapter reminds me that the caste system, social hierachy, polygamy and monarchy is actually quite bad.
Does this story actually challenge the status quo/system like Empress of Another World, Light & Shadow/Golden Times, EBONY, Beware of the Villainess, The Pet of the Villainess, Kingdom of the Queen, Tearmoon Empire Story, I Shall Survive Using Potions! or The Twelve Kingdoms?
When I started to read the first chapter of this story, I didn't mind and ignored the huge problematic aspect of this story because I liked how the thin Uke with self-low esteem gets a hot faithful twisted fuckboy.
Now that I am older, more experienced and have been visiting therapy +a good supporting group, I can say for certainty:
These two are really bad and toxic for each other!
The Uke needs more self-love-respect/therapy and the Seme needs to leave him for good.
They are just in a very unhealthy volatile messed up relationship.
While don't mind that the villainlike childish father and son are cruel towards other assholes/scums...
I kinda find it very creepy/disturbing how they are trying to deceive, gaslight and manipulate the mature motherly actually self-aware "dumb" FL/Stepmother so she won't ever leave them...
I mean they really treat her well and they don't harm any "innocent" people but chapter 49 showed how insidious these two are for the sake of "love".
We know that she knows she was reincarnated in a novel where she is the matriarch of a "villainous" family clan. Even though she demonstrated some guts and is making the effort to change/reform Ain and getting along with Cassius, it's undeniable that she is quite naive, guilible and oblivious. (⊙…⊙ )
It doesn't feel right at all...
Now that hired psycho has a gun?!
While it is true that money can solve/buy almost everything, how the hell did he still get released unsupervised despite him attacking high profile people with money and influence?
Why is security for rich elite people so bad and incompetent?!
And when FL Rose's very stupid obsessed ex Jackson is still somehow forgiven and getting a pass for even hiring that psychotic hitman Stephen just to kill ML Daniel + his cousin even he knows he harmed Rose and is uncontollable, I really wasted my time on this story.....
And of course the grandfather is the cause of all problems...
I am starting to see how stupid the logic and the characters are in this plot with a suddenly rushed coming to an end conclusion.
The only good relatable character/FL Rose really deserves better. ┗( T﹏T )┛











THAT WAS THE PAY OFF?! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
So that petty antagonist asshole who did everything to destroy the MC gets so easily forgiven and rewarded??????????????????????
And the flawed dumb MC becomes suddenly a saint...
So EVERYONE is basically a fucking idiot!(/TДT)/
SORRY, I had to rant since I really wasted my time on this story!
