Its pretty common especially in isekai romance
Stockholm syndrome XD
Maybe because of the sudden change .
Well yeah cuz mostly they get used to the fl being stuck like glue to them and they get interested/they try to observe on why they suddenly changed too. All of a sudden they start to fall in love with the new personality of fl lmao
Well I mean she was a bitch to him before so now that she suddenly seems nice it's understandable that he took an interest in her
And its going to be obvious that after she gets bullied by those other bitches the ml will just randomly show up and save her ass
Or maybe not and she'll be the one to beat their asses
Honestly it's a 50/50 lol
Idk but why does the male lead always became interested in the female lead when shes not inlove with him anymore. I notice it in many other stories as well.
