Got up to ch27, am dropping it because the comments tell me its gonna get more frustrating from here. I just came here say that its funny how literally every male side character seems like a better ML candidate than Riftan... Ruth, the knights, they're all way more gentle and respectful and don't swear at people despite coming from similar backgrounds... Honestly at this point I was hoping for our MC and Ruth to have an affair because they have infinitely more chemistry, he understands her better and gives her help and she feels comfortable enough to lose her temper with him, and the way they play off each other gives mutual character growth. Meanwhile our MC and Riftan miscommunicate every damn sentence. I don't particularly hate the idea of Riftan as a ML for someone else, I just think him and MC are a bad matchup. If he had someone who could yell and swear at him back they'd get along like a house on fire. As it is this couple seems designed to be a frustration fountain, so I don't want to read more.
