    I feel that these two books are rare novels in which the female protagonist takes a dominant position, and they do not follow the routine of first torturing the woman and then the man. The main point of women abusing men is that the female protagonist doesn't like the male protagonist, and there is no male abuse of women. In the first book, it seems that the abuse of the heroine mainly comes from her family of origin. Her mother was not very good to her when she was a child.
