I was Captured by the Obsessive Prince Chapter 1 Discussion

The summary seemed like your typical isekai villainess story, MC chose to get married to lead a smooth life (except this time she is gonna divorce when it's safe for her cause #1 villainess is scary af). No opinions with that. The whole premise isn't anything surprising, but I tried reading it, and yeah I don't think I can stomach it.

I'm not sure if it's the author's writing style, or the translator, but the pov is a mess. In one paragraph I can see 'Rosetta blushed' and 'I looked away'. Isn't Rosetta the main character?? I feel like the author is trying to establish the MC and og villainess as 2 diff people, but there's literally no reason for it. I have no idea if it's the author or the translator who is doing this, but it's the author, their writing is horrible (can't rlly blame the translator, they are doing it for free).

Now, the reason why I feel like there's no reason for the differentiation is because absolutely NOTHING is being addressed in the first 2 chapters. The author just jumped straight in into the story with the MC and ML getting married. There's no "why they did it", "when they did it", "they discussed it" at all. You just see the MC saying she has to get married as soon as possible so she doesn't get dragged into the main Villainess plots which quickly gets annoying because girl repeats SO MANY times in the first chapter alone. Hell I don't even know how they met and what sh*t was agreed.

And so far, the marriage seems terribly one sided. MC mentioned that she would divorce when it's safe for to, but by the second chapter the ML is already trying to take her to bed, hence kissing her. There's no indication of what went on, why they are marrying, is there even a contract etc. I wasnt expecting myself to get immediately thrown into the story so it's quite a shock.

Not sure if I'm terribly agitated because of the way the author wrote the story, or that there's no usual intro to what happen, why MC died etc, but yeah this story is NOT my cup of tea. I'm not giving this book a rating cause I don't think I have the right to (hell I can't even continue reading to know if the writing gets better cause wtf was that, horrible first impression) but yes.
