While everyone seems to only be concerned about who the ML actually is, I find the FL to be annoying. How is she so passive and mute mouth with her step brothers mother whenever she is a complete bitch to the FL. But she can be extremely rude to the black-haired duke. To an extent, I can understand her disdain for his background, but it's not like he killed her mom herself, so why is she such an ass to him. Like, have that same energy for the people who are actually doing you wrong. For that, I will be dropping this story.
MC is a complete idiot who lacks any sense of common sense or even social awareness. This is the type of character archetype that I completely hate to see in these stories. It sucks because these types of stories always have the weak dumbass female lead and it's extremely frustrating. Especially when they go back in time and still act the same exact way, like wtf did you not learn anything? So in short I am dropping this story because the MC is dumb as hell and I do not have the patience to stick through this story and wait for a hundred p,us chapters to go by before the mc grows up and grows a backbone.
