but u also have to consider that he was an asshole to her as well. she didn't ditch him because he wasnt the ML she left bc he always treated her badly. sure she could have tried harder to be friends and keep their relationship but if you were in her shoes would you be okay staying with a person who threw ur b-day present for them into a lake repeatedly was rude to you and did not treat you well even if that bad treatment is on the surface and they genuinely cared its hard to tell.
I mean he is doubtful since he was a child and traumatic childhood with hell lot of death flag from your family then there's some kid that you can't even read and suddenly wanted to get close to you. Anyways all the characters is no good. I'm just hoping for character development at this point but there's nothing.
Well you do have to consider that he used magic to manipulate her and in the original novel, he manipulated her so that she would be a villainess that would get killed later on because it benefited him.
Also, no she didn't ditch him because she isn't the male lead. Instead she did so because of all the little things that happened (mainly her drinking that potion and realizing that in the original book he was the cause of her death.)
Like in the beginning she approached him because he was the ML, then she finds out that he isn’t really and then pretty much just ditches him.
Like if you were friends with someone from childhood wouldn’t you try a bit harder to set it straight with them instead of treating them so badly? She’s obviously not a nice person.
