I fully agree! Bro you won’t believe it but later on in the story she randomly gains common sense and wonders if ML was actually being genuine the whole time. ts pmo but I can’t stop reading now.
The point of her not having “emotional intelligence” which is not the case is because she can’t accept that anyone actually likes her and that there hasn’t to be a reason to her actions. From literally her whole family and society treating her as an outcast ((and literally wanting her gone) and then her other life she was all alone with no one to trust is the reason she thinks she doesn’t deserve “love and kindness”. It’s literally all she knew in both lives. Loneliness and emptiness. There’s no way we can accept them to think differently. I do get why you think that way because they put it as very common troupe that the FL is dumbfounded the ML likes her with no real reasoning behind it but in this story it’s the only thing that makes sense. Your whole life you basically are shown no love, how are you supposed to accept when someone actually shows a genuine love and affection? It’s something one’s mind can’t comprehend. It’s actually a really good story with interesting plot but to each their own. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ch13 and im dropping, she is your typical “oh no I’m worthless and don’t deserve love and kindness” female lead with not so high emotional intelligence (“oh he is looking at me with such loving and passionate eyes, he must hate me”).
