Does a high total overlap ratio automatically mean failure?

Not automatically. The real issue is where the overlap sits, how long it is, and what your institution accepts.

If references are marked red, does that mean the references are wrong?

Not always. Many matches come from formatting or database overlap rather than a real reference mistake.

Should I revise the literature review first or the abstract first?

Start with long high-risk overlap in sensitive sections rather than following chapter order mechanically.
