A baddie lost.

What began as a promising story quickly deteriorated into mediocrity. The MC becomes so soft and overly kind in this timeline that she no longer stands up for herself. She’s somewhat aware that she’s also a victim, but she refuses to actually acknowledge this fact.
She’s set on unnecessarily punishing herself, like she’s to blame for everything.
“My gOaL iS uR hApPiNesS”—atp it’s so cheesy that it’s downright annoying to hear.

I absolutely don’t enjoy watching a woman sacrifice her own dignity and prowess for any man. Idgaf whether he “deserves” it, because she certainly shouldn’t be treating her own life as insignificant compared to his.
She could still help him out without compromising her own dignity. It’s starting to look like a kink, she wants to be stepped on by ML so bad.
Not to mention, no man deserves such self sacrifice from a woman. Also, isn’t he a mass murderer? That’s literally what “war hero’s” are. His innocent puppy characterisation is so unconvincing, like pls as if a grown man is ever truly pure. The creepy brother is more realistic.

I read fmc stories to enjoy a genuine female pov, not to witness such a poor char portrayal. Like I’m not convinced even she agrees with her own choices.
She has become a far duller version of her past self.

Her approach to helping is unnecessarily ridiculous. Instead of simply demanding the ring back, she chooses to beg a judgmental old hag—from a family with no real worth—to stop despising the boy she’s hated her entire life, despite having no valid reason for it because she’s simply too stupid.
In doing so, she rly ends up making a fool of both herself and the duke. Like her choices are so bad that I’m getting second hand embarrassment from her.
