I dropped it around Ch 40 because I couldn’t force myself to continue reading. Like, can someone explain what they liked about this, because how come the rating is this high???
It’s clear that some wattpad girlie came up with this plot that should’ve just stayed in the drafts. The ML is manipulative and possessive in his past life as well as this one. There seems to be no change other than that he’s suddenly kind to the FL now (and I still don’t know why by Ch 40). Other than that, he’s still an asshole, like when he said he’d “have her no matter what”, even if she hates it, or when he casually sexually harasses her.
While I get that some people are into this shit, what irks me personally is that there’s never any retribution from the FL, who herself is a huge hypocrite. She gave such a grand, promising speech at the beginning, that she knows what its like to be loved unconditionally by her family now and therefore realized how pathetic the ML was, that she doesn’t need to go along with his whims anymore, only to do EXACTLY that. Instead of saying all the things she thinks about him to his face to give him a taste of reality, she just ends up going along with whatever he does.
For instance, when he thinks he has a right to touch her whenever he feels like it, after she clearly told him she doesn’t want it. Or when he (unprovoked, mind you) attacked Morgan (I think that was his name) in his jealousy fit and then blamed Morgan for attacking him first, when it was the other way around. And instead of telling the truth and standing up against the ML, she just goes “oopsie, guess he wiggled his way out of this one”, when the dude who tried his best to save her from the ML (who had just kidnapped her) is lying wounded on the ground. Like, how ungrateful and brainwashed can you be?
The overarching plot and side characters are just as flat and boring. Sadly and surprisingly, the only one who has some potential is the Antagonist aka the fake Saintess. I saw another comment saying that they didn’t like how lenient the ending was with the Saintess because she was manipulative and selfish, which made me realize what a crazy double standard some readers have for female characters. Because if you think about it from an objective stance, there’s not much of a difference between the fake Saintess’ and the ML’s behavior, except that he’s a handsome man, so he can get away with his behavior without ever facing true backlash.
