Comadrin's manga / #Toxic males(2)

The ML was a self-righteous sexual abuser. I won't say he was a rapist, but it was close. In all their dealings, he either treated her like a criminal or like a sex object (or, more succinctly, like a sperm receptacle). As to the rest of this "aristocratic dynasty," all of the males seemed to be toxic, misogynistic alpha-holes, except for Joss, who was the only ray of light in that foul broth of testosterone ridden scumbags.

Ms. Reid does it again. She creates male characters who are nothing more than toxic psychopaths, and in the ML’s case, also a rapist. She then turns one of them around (the rapist, no less) and he becomes the perfect loving husband and father. I’ll believe that about the same time that Vladimir Putin rushes into a burning orphanage to save the children. I also take virulent exception to how this author makes the FLs into airheaded bimbos who immediately fall deeply in love with their rapists. It’s as though she really despises her own gender. Anyone who thinks this is a love story should have their head examined to see if it’s actually stuffed with last month’s unrefrigerated potato salad.
