Dropped.
The characters are simply too stubborn and dumb, especially the FL.
The author really wanted to drag out the tension and the romance, but we've hit a point where it's simply ridiculous.
The only reason the main couple is not together, is bc the FL insists on "following the original story", even though that ship has CLEARLY sailed loooooong ago.
There is no point in stubbornly clinging on to the of story, and yet the FL is CONVINCED that she knows what is best for the ML and what will make him happy, just bc she once read the book.
Well, it's BS. She has clearly already changed the story and at this point it seems like she just want to play martyr to make herself feel important and generous or smth.
Meanwhile, the ML is just as stubborn, clinging on to a woman who runs away from him every chance she gets. He even goes so far as to kidnap her and keep her captive - which btw is NOT romantic, dear author.
If he has to resort to those kinds of methods to get the attention and companionship of his love interest, perhaps he should just give it up. She's not the only woman out there and however hurtful it is to let a love end, you'll overcome it eventually.
I'm so done with this.
