its mostly because of how he treated the original chloe, you can see in the manhwa that the ml and the mc have chemistry and the ml is obviously fit for her, much more than og chloe, but even so, that's literally no reason to turn a blind eye to og chloe being abused and harassed by servants in the place that she lives and cant escape from ON PURPOSE. like he gives a command telling people not to mention anything that happens to her
like it kinda pissed me off how once mc took over chloes body, the ml instantly started treating her well. even if the ml didn't like the og chloe, he still should've treated her with a decent amount of respect??? especially since og chloe is shown to be traumatized, have severe social anxiety, and be easily pressured. some things that she did were selfish, but you cant really blame her. everyone has hated her since she was a child, so things like pretending to be a wine expert and putting the blame on the maid were just behaviors that she learned because she didn't want to be hated.
adding onto the maid thing, og chloe is a noblewoman, and she couldn't have really understood the punishment that the maid had to go through. that also brings me to my next point, the butler is an asshole too. he lacks empathy, and during the main incident, he knew that og chloe was lying, and he punishes the maid anyway and called og chloe selfish (which i cant argue that it wasn't, but it was a trauma response, and it wasn't like she did it out of malicious intent)
overall i just feel really really bad for og chloe, she had no one in her life and she was constantly being tormented, when she should have been getting help for her mental issues instead of everybody blaming her; its actually a wonder how she didn't turn out worse
dont hate me but i dont really like the ml at all
