Do you dislike reading books in which the male lead is a complete jerk to the female protagonist and yet totally wins her heart within seconds? Are you tired of novels with guys that will sneak into a girl's room and watch her sleep without her knowing it? Do you hate that this is seen as ideal and wish you had a nice list made up of those kinds of novels so you can finally avoid reading about those guys? Then this is the list for you! Add any novel with a male lead that is just plain bad, whether it be because he's Creeptastic or Captain Jerkwad, if you think he belongs here then add it!

The FountainPenDiva, Old school geek chick and lover of teddy bears Whoo Hoo! I love this list and plan to share it! Thank you so much for compiling it. Though I'm not sure about Dracula. He's far less of an asshat than Christian Grey.


.·:*¨ × Shannon♥Stelena&Bamon&Sydrian × ¨*: Why is Skip Beat! on here? If you're talking about Sho, he's SUPPOSE to be an jerk, hence why Kyoko later hates him and wants revenge for the way he treated her.

he acted like a jerk in volume 1 thus that's why he is in the jerkish list...i don't see what's the problem or the reason we are arguing...

UGH, THANK you, Diva! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! I couldn't even finish that series and my girlfriends think I'm nuts, but I refused to go see the movies either. BLEH! Major asshat

Funny list!
