Ikr! Your comment made me also think of For Your Murder. ML was smart, cold, calculating and in the last few chapters the author suddenly rushed the ending. ML did a 180 becoming a foolish loser. It was so out of character it destroyed the whole narrative. I was so hyped for this story but now I'll pretend I never read it.
I have no idea what's going on atm with these authors... it wasn't like that before, was it?

Everytime I open a new chapter, I expect nothing and get nothing. Why do we care about the ex at this point? Why do good stories go south like this? The bondservant, where the heart is, midnight poppylan and and like numerous others. It's like the authors forget what they were writing and just throw anything in. So frustrating cause usually these have the best art too
