Comadrin's manga / #Undeserving ML(94)

And we have another silk purse made out of a sow's ear. The lesson for today: No matter how filthy a scumbag you are, if you're rich and handsome you'll end up with your heart's desire. Rich is righteous, poor people are trash.

I see that the ML was one of the people P.T. Barnum was talking about when he said, "There's one born every minute." Evil vamp rolled him up: horse, foot, and guns. And all sucker boy can think about is revenge on the victim of said vamp.

Loved her, but he was a bipolar s#$thead. Beg for her help, get it, then blackmail and threaten her when she doesn't hop when he says, "Hop!" The villains were filth, but he was no bargain, either. The social worker was also a moron. Since when does being married make people the perfect adoptive parents? She's against the ML for tabloid rumours, but is ready to hand over the kid to a pair of obvious sleazebags with no investigation into their circumstances whatsoever. FL should have gone off with the doctor. He showed more character in his short appearances than the ML did through the whole story.

No one, especially the ML, seemed to realize the trauma the FL went through. His "I tried so hard to find you" was a crock of s&*t. Since the entire world seemed to know that she had been left in huge debt from her father, as she was paying it off, it would have taken someone with half a brain about a day to find her. Also, this idea that a woman has no duty except to her husband is a paternalistic load of crap. When a man kicks his wife to the curb over family problems, he's held up as a great example of a family man. When a woman feels she has to take care of sick or dying parents instead of following her husband around like a puppy dog, she is castigated as a selfish whore who has been unfaithful to her vows.

Well, he finally did the right thing, but I found him to be a rather tiresome bore. He kept her on a leash after saying he wouldn't, but still didn't have any intention until the end of returning her love.

Just when you think you’ve seen the worst excuse for romantic fiction, someone comes up with a travesty like this with irredeemable entitled scum for an ML. He blackmails her into marriage and then promises to give her time to overcome her fear of sex, but after a day and a half, he has no patience left. Throws her out of the house for 8 months and spends all his time with prostitutes. A weak moron FL who would love and forgive Adolph Eichmann. Her family, who would probably force her to work as a prostitute to pay off their debts. His grandmother, continually saying unforgivable things at the family dinner table. If the FL had a thimbleful of self respect, she would have burned his palazzo down while both of their families were inside and moved to the other side of the planet.

I love Toda Megumi's art, but these three princeling stories are so hokey. The MLs are interchangeable, and all three are horndogs who use "The Kiss" which (of course) is so powerful and passionate that women forget they are being sexually assaulted and immediately lose their critical faculties, moral sense, and, half the time, their clothes. My wife and I certainly enjoy kissing and a lack of passion is something that I've never been afflicted with, but if I asked her why she doesn't lose her mind and melt like a cheese sandwich in a microwave from my torrid liplock, she would probably take me to the doctor to see if my cranium had a close encounter with a blunt object.

There's dumb as a box of rocks, then there's dumber than a trainload of granite blocks, and finally there's this ML. No matter what the reason, no matter that he didn't cheat on her sexually, he out and out betrayed her. So did her filthy uncle. In fact, the two of them might as well have been in cahoots for all the damage they did to her. When she found out all the truth, she should have taken all, and I mean ALL, of her equity in the company, left Uncle Scumbag to prison and his crappy excuse for a daughter high and dry, told ML to hug a root for all eternity, hired Lucha Libre to beat the living crap out of her wannabe boyfriend, then left town and gotten a name change.

My God what an a**hole. Not only does he believe nothing his wife says about his "childhood friend," he hits his 3 year old son in the face and says that the son "misunderstood" the creep who lied to him? Now that's a stellar father. Never did see loving Daddy apologize to the son. And so we have another story written by an English author where the Italian ML is complete scum and stupid to the point of barely remembering to breathe. The other trope she uses seems to be that English wives are targets for every Italian woman of marriageable age. How bigoted can you get, Ms. Reid?

He called her stubborn when all he had to do was tell her that he loved her instead of giving her vague, lawyer-like answers. What a twit! He should have to live the rest of his life with nothing but his massive ego for company.
