No you're right though, wtf does he mean he wanted to sleep with her even when she was all whipped and bloody?? Tf??
Right? Like, does no one see what's wrong with this?? I already know I'm going to get a wave of angry readers telling me Maxi and Riftan’s words and actions are "realistic" or have some "deeper meaning," but I call horseshit, lol. The author clearly set out to write a smut-driven romance but also tried stuffing in heavy angst without really knowing how to balance the two. So you end up with moments like this recent chapter that are supposed to feel serious being undercut by characters acting completely out of sync with how they're usually written, or saying genuinely questionable things—like wanting to raw dog your wife right after witnessing the bloody aftermath of her father beating her.
About which scene are we talking about the one where we saw that Riftan first got encountered with maxi being whipped ? Or is it the very first meeting of them where she had those whip scars on her back? Because I think it’s related to when they met not the newest encounter because that would be VERY DISGUSTING even for him I know he’s a total mess to her but I hope he changes that
These comments are so... tf? Riftan acts like a major prick to Maxi (as usual), literally admits that he wanted to fuck her even after seeing her wounded and bloodied, yet the only takeaway was "YAS QUEEN! MOUNT YOUR STALLION HUSBAND!" As if Maxi's behavior wasn't also weirdly out of character for her.
Y'all are so grossly horny, it's not even funny. I know I'm gonna get hella down voted because I'm basically calling out the majority of you readers, but idgaf lol. I now understand why so many people sing this story's praises, and I was right. It's just the smut and nothing more because the romance sucks ass, the ML is a piece of shit, and anyone who believes this relationship is anything BUT toxic need to lean off the copium and take off their rose-tinted glasses. Nah, I can't wait for Book 2 to read through all of the frustrated comments and opinion changes about Riftan being a selfish asshole lol.
