I'm on the 3rd write through of my novel and finally figured out that what's not working is my female MC motivation and wants. To be more specific: the story is set in a fantasy version of North Korea where the dictator is benevolent. The female MC is loyal to the dictator, and unknowingly saves the life of the well-known criminal trying to assassinate him. Then for some reason she gets roped into the plot to kill the dictator.

This is too accurate.

You want to know why she joins the kill plot? Either the dictator has a secret bad side, or the assassin has something she needs, perhaps...

a cure for a family member's rare disease, or the ability to wipe away a friend's large debt, or can get someone out of prison.
