Unlike the fl, the ml is just all around, from every angle, a let down. He isn't evil, but he is creepy, and everything about him, his backstory, how he fell for her, how he is approaching her, everything is creepy, unoriginal, and paints him in a bad light. I am reading this purely for the fl, and once the ml becomes a more prominent character, doubt I'll be able to continue.
Out of the 400+ comics in this genere I've read, there's only ever been about 25 MLs i have truly hated to the point of wanting them replaced( I have a pretty high tolerance for them). 15 of those were toxic jerks with horrible personalities. 9 had age gaps I just couldn't condone, even under a fantasy + historic lens. That leaves this last one, who isn't outright bad, he is just.... a pebble on the side of the road compared to the fl. Just a creepy pebble kicked into a culvert somewhere who needs to work on himself A LOT before he should even be considering pursuing her romantically.
