I will never understand how FL never chooses the better man. Girls, yall need to raise your standards.

The FL doesn't know that he is 'good'/'better'...we know it cuz we hav read so many things. but just b in their shoes.. i think i would b very confused too.
This is why the authors r always soo talented. When they write the novels, i think they put themselves, all their personalities and ways of thinking to b exactly like the characters....Hats off for them.
Sry for the English...not my first language
You get a lot of red flag behaviour, because fanfiction authors usually love to take the short route to the sexual tension they love.
The characters are often mere projection surface.
Your average female lead usually is young, slim, has a beautiful face and nice bre**** (this is emphasized a lot). She's said to be smart, but at the same time naive, she needs her knight to guard and guide her, she's clumsy which is often borderline stupid (and defies the smart part), but you should view it as cute and it will make the knight shine some more.
Your average male lead is older than her, but usually not more than 10 years, hot, slim but muscular, higher in status and wealthy. He's magically infatuated with her and will do anything to be at her side, his mind is set on her alone and he will know what to do. In the end he safes the day and all he wants as a reward is her. He will pull her in his strong arms, press her against his broad, firm chest and give her the steamy hot kiss the audience craves. All the better if he pushes her against a wall or in the sheets.
See how easily that can turn into red flag behaviour?
@Pancake if you guys are reading this,i just want to share my pov and self-experience from myself and my boyfriend. on behalf of the person named Cya above,i agree strongly with their statements. i've always had a likable/annoying personality at the same time with person i'm familiar/comfy with. that includes my current bf and my exes.i don't particularly think i am choosy as i had no types or preference during the time i was dating them. i just accepted them wholeheartedly til their red flagd appeared not so long after. people always said ones with beauty always attract the shi*** types and it's bound to be at some point. and i can testify you,it is for real as it was the cases for me.i can imagine if i am a character in otome isekai i'be hated so much bcs of my naïveness and stupidity/blindness over my love for my partner. my bf was high in ego when he first talked to me abt my shi*** ex(es),and said he won't let it happen
if he were to have a gf . soon after we hit it off,and become closer and started our relationship,and from there on, he'd become slowly as the person he said he won't be . so in otome i guess i am the stupid mc,and my bf is the egoist and shi*** bf/fiancee.my point is,til' you started to know them,you wont really know their personapity whether they're good/bad and sometimes,it is very hard to let go of something especially if you have attachment issues and totally loyal/faithful and make your partner as a priority. you saw their red flags and yet it hurts so much to let them go bcs you really want to be with them,dats the promise you made with yourself and you're torn apart bcs you're anxious of losing each other and still love one another but it become a toxic relationship but you're still hoping that either/both party changed for the better,and thus become the reason you solely stayed in the relationship. i really hoped you understand when you yourself are in this kind of situations it is difficult to overcome and move on/forgive one another. just my 2 cents bcs i totally understand some of the mc or any stupid/naïve mc behaviour/way of thinking bcs it relates with me
