Turned me off

I genuinely DID find this interesting at first. When I got too excited, like I always do, I try to skip to the recent chapters to get a preview on what will happen in the future of the story. In this case, I did and it immediately turned me off.

The ML is definitely an obsessive male lead even in the original story, HOWEVER, I thought for sure that he'll change because of the FL. Turns out he still became an obsessive and possessive punk. He locked the FL up, not as obvious, but he banned her from going out and made sure she didn't see other people, even her servants.

The FL is also, still scared and guilty, of the fact that she stole someone else's body, that she breaks up with the ML for her anxiety. Like, grow up dude. Most FL's that have a backstory tend to become mentally stronger than other people so I thought she would be too. Disappointed, really. And to think, the original owner of her body died early, I mean, you stopped that from happening. Is it not your right to own the body that you tried so hard to take care of? It's also curious that she let her anxiety get the best of her that she didn't even consider the ML's feelings when she broke up with him just like that, they were engaged too.

The entire family clearly has psychological problems, from abusing his son for looking like his dad, to a depressed wife, to an extremely obsessive male lead, to a female lead who has anxiety. If I were in her shoes, I'd be busy running away. Clearly, what she did didn't help the ML and didn't help her.

    and what did she do to help the ML?? um, treat him with basic human decency and inadvertently get his father to beat him more, and then what?? give the ML a few grapes?? defend the duke and call him daddy??? the mc was NOT a "savior" for him, she is what is almost an adult in a child's body, who actively knew and acknowledged the neglect, abuse, and torture the ML was suffering as a child, teen, and even into adulthood, and chose to act ignorantly.

    This too. Now that I actually think about it, the FL pisses me off the most here. The ML shouldn't justify his actions because of his abusive childhood so I wouldn't take his side either.

    But the FL should've been the matured one here
