No idea what was happening here. It did not come off as though it was written by a human. A strange mix of fantasy and contemporary that didn't work. The twists didn't twist. Calling the mmc "The Villain" was really weird the entire book - he could have had a more specific title and it would have worked way better. My interpretation: this is fanfic about a morally gray guy and the woman he loves, but it leaned too heavily toward the generic at the expense of anything truly interesting. Won't be finishing the series.
