****this is not spoilers, it's a complaint about MC and ML

Sigh I just read ch 35 and I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I don't understand MC's thoughts of fangirling over the Duke's looks everytime they're in the same room when he's kind of mean to her. If the author tries to redeem him by labeling him as a tsundere, I don't think I'll be able to handle it. I think people forget sometimes that tsundere behavior is childish, emotionally stunted, and rude.... it becomes a term to excuse grown MLs for being mean like "oh it's so cute that a grown man is treating a woman badly b/c he can't communicate properly, don't be so harsh to him, let's not forget his tragic backstory guysss!!" It's a bit passable for a child b/c they're still developing but he's an ADULT.

I can't entirely blame the Duke and Chaer for having suspicions towards her b/c she's acting out of character so there's justification, but regardless, they're being unpleasant towards her. If a normal person in her position were to be treated this way, their response would be to distance themselves emotionally if they're unable to escape physically, however, Arielsa keeps thinking that the duke is so ~HaWT~ and is eternally mesmerized by his looks.

Frankly, at this point in the story, the Duke is annoying, disrespectful, and overbearing to her. The circumstances may call for his behavior (she's a stranger occupying his friend's body) but she's more passive than expected (she gets angry sometimes but it doesn't last long b/c he's hot *EYEROLL*). It would be understandable to anyone for her to be angry, yet, why isn't she more angry about her treatment?

TL;DR, my primary gripe w/ MC is her bland personality of letting people treat her like sh**. It's also natural for Duke and Chaer to be wary of her but the way they treat her, esp Chaer talking down to her, is unsavory to me.

The author basically created a helpless, impressionable, naive idiot of an MC (this is just based on the first 35 chs, she may have character development later on but i'm mad at the current flow of the story) who is ok with a man treating her like ass??? She's a doormat who excuses the Duke's actions b/c he's good looking. For some reason, she's still able to like him despite him being an a-hole??

ML's personality is probably the product of his environment and social status but that doesn't mean it's excusable. The story is going in the direction of "we musn't be together, your destiny is w/ the ogFL" but can the author include a scene of her gaining some self respect in the process.....

My apologies in advance for writing the complaint w/ a strong tone...I'm just tired of the story

It has 128 chapters and 9 side stories in total.

near the end, Arielsa overcomes her feelings and admits that she actually loves him. Knowing that, Leulla goes crazy and tried to kill Arielsa, but the Duke saved her. And after that, if I understand correctly, the FL saw Leulla's "MC" aura slowly fades and is being transferred to Arielsa, and then Leulla gets banished.
