It's my third time trying to reread this and I could never remember why I kept dropping this - its because the main character is insufferably naive and oblivious. She's written like she has no concept of social interactions - the male lead can flat out threaten someone and she'll completely write it off like an idiot. There's no charm to this story at all...it's boring and shallow. The MC being oblivious isn't a bad trope if done correctly. Moreover, what the heck is the appeal with a ML who's willing to manipulate the MC only while continuing to be a piece of shit to everyone else?
