My Engagement Got Broken, But I Don’t Remember Getting Engaged in the First Place Chapter 12 Discussion

I dropped the novel around c12, maybe the novel improves after then but IMO the general characterizations would be hard to change. I'm not sure why other reviewers mention suspense in figuring out the novel's backstory - there's absolutely no suspense, and everyone's relationships are just as you might predict, except way creepier since all the men are fighting over our FL who neither cares for them nor knows even who they are.

Spoiler

The FL literally met the ML once, sang a song for him because he was crying, and he's been stalking her ever since. He followed her to her workplace, shoved flowers in her hand, stalked her around when she's shopping in the city, delays when her family gets compensation money from his family so she can't refuse his approaches, and generally creeps around her surroundings. He married his brother to the FL, regretted that, and then forced the FL's father to never mention the engagement to her so she stays single forever and loses reputation in public as an abandoned fiance without ever knowing why.

The ML's brother is way too chaotic and random. He marries the FL to spite his brother, then falls in love with another girl even knowing that she's just after his position. He then gives up on girl 2 after seemingly 10 minutes, makes a big show about being lost and lonely, and then falls in love with the FL 10 minutes later.

The FL is cool, but she's basically a blank slate? She doesn't really care for the ML until they fight, and although she's in the right she has to apologize? Why must she get criticized for working a respectable job just because a creep tried to assault her, and why is she feeling guilty for telling off our ML who's telling her to just stay at home or play with the kids instead of working?

[collapse]

Kinda a rant, and probably poorly formatted because I'm typing on mobile. I'm stopping at c12 because the MLs all feel like creeps IMO, but some people might get over the initial stalker vibes or even enjoy that?
