It’s really surprise me that there’s Riftan haters. My guess the manhwa readers never ...

Agree

Fr, thank you, for me riftan hate is just forced and immature

No need to hate the novel. Riftan is a greed flag from the beginning! All did was protect and love her! She’s the only who did communicate and kept secrets!

In my opinion honestly ,the whole miscommunication thing and keeping secrets, fall on both of them, They both formed a conception about other and went with it.
all from trauma + false information
But in the end of the day both love each other deeply.

I wholeheartedly agree with that take! Im not a novel reader but if they both jist explained why they act the way they do to eachother itd be a whole different story! Riftan gets SUPER angry for Maxi's sake but reverts to commanding her to do as he says rather than telling her why he wants her to do that and why he's angry. He also has this idealized version of Maxi in his head and sort of forces that on her. Maxi wants to play into that because she is insecure and wants his acknowledgement and also she doesn't fight back or question Riftan which I think could be attributed to her history of abuse and this skewed idea of men due to her father and she also doesn't communicate her needs, wants, and feelings to him that much. They both just need to sit down and have a good heart to heart sometime! They need to build that trust that they are together for eachother and not for what they can provide for eachother (lavish life, safety, children, etc.)

having read the novel, I don't think Riftan is that big of a green flag honestly. I do love all the longing, but that guy is extremely frustrating till the end. I don't hate him tho, but he was an asshole for the biggest part if i remember correctly

Where to read the novel please?

You know now I’m really excited for you to see what will come later, this two I could go lengths to defend them and chastise them at the same time (￣∇￣")
