Description
My boyfriend threw a brick at my head. When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t believe I had become the heroine of a healing romance fantasy novel, and the male lead of a mutual salvation narrative had suddenly picked up a villainess and declared the engagement broken. “I have fallen in love with her.” Really? I’m actually fine with that. One day, as I was enjoying my peaceful independent life, a sweet nerd guy moved next-door. “……Hello, Ivonne. It’s been a while since you looked down at me from above.” His smiling lips were as refreshing as a birch tree in full bloom, and I found myself involuntarily drawn to his gaze. “Ivonne resembles spring. …She chased away the long winter from me.” Quiet, shy, and docile. Why is this person so intriguing to me, following me around like a newly hatched chick? • • • • • • • “I found you.” Ivonne was startled, raising her head. “You promised to stay right there with me, Ivonne.” “…Rix, what’s that in your hand?” Rix’s purple eyes with his thick glasses thrown aside, gleamed eerily. “You promised you wouldn’t abandon me…” It felt like standing in front of a wild beast. A completely different tension, this dizzying impulse. She tightly closed her eyes. “Why do you always make me misbehave on the days I want to be good, my master?” …Come to think of it, didn’t that warlord crown prince who was crazy about blood have eyes like that? It felt chilly, like the sensation of chains being locked in place.

My Thoughts on I Abandoned the Male Lead Who Cheated with the Villainess
"I Abandoned the Male Lead Who Cheated with the Villainess" certainly grabbed my attention with its title. A tale of betrayal, a strong female lead, and a dash of European royalty? Count me in! I dove in eager to see how this story would unfold.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were quite promising. The setup is classic transmigration with a twist of revenge, but the female lead’s reaction to the cheating scandal felt refreshingly grounded. She doesn't wallow; she recognizes she's the victim and moves on, which I appreciated. The male lead also piqued my interest. He's presented as charming, but there's definitely an underlying intensity that hints at more than meets the eye. I was intrigued to see where that would lead.
What Works Well
The author does a good job of establishing the "European ambience." The setting feels rich and detailed, adding depth to the overall experience. I also enjoyed the initial dynamic between the female lead and the new male lead. The hints of obsession and hidden depths were certainly captivating and kept me invested.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the story seems to take a turn for the worse further in. I'm a bit wary after hearing about the male lead's behavior escalating to the point of him imprisoning the female lead and using handcuffs. That's a significant red flag, and it sounds like the narrative doesn't handle it with the necessary nuance. I'm generally not a fan of redemption arcs for that kind of behavior, so it definitely gives me pause.

Final Verdict
While the initial chapters of "I Abandoned the Male Lead Who Cheated with the Villainess" held promise with its strong female lead and intriguing male lead, the later developments seem to derail the story. The shift towards potentially non-consensual and abusive behavior is a major concern. While some might find the male lead's obsession appealing, it seems to cross a line that I personally am not comfortable with. I'd recommend approaching this novel with caution, especially if you're sensitive to darker themes.
