I ask again, what the fuck did Riftan do??? Why do y'all hate him so much???
To save riftan from giving up everything and to save Anatol from a new ruler Maxine joined the mage tower and she had to go away for 3 years but no one told riftan and so when he found out he was pissed but he made it worse by drinking isolating himself and he told Maxine if she leaves he will never wait for her and move on essentially breaking her hear making her have a panic attack cry and choose herself
I honestly feel like a lot of you need to learn how to embrace complex characters and the conflicting emotions they bring. To meet him with such vitriol just doesn't make any sense when you factor in his own trauma and history. The two of them are very flawed individuals with heavy past attempting to make a life together. It will not be easy and cannot be done without them clashing.
When did this become a hey lets lecture the person who went out of their way to answer another random persons question on other peoples actions of hate towards a fictional character. Did in any part of my message say i was mad or angry at riftan sure I think he is a 5% idiot but I love him and max especially together. If your going to reply about how you feel "a lot of you need to learn to embrace complex characters" i do not appreciate being bunched in with everyone else when you could have just made a new comment instead of solely replying to this one. Good day to you!
See that's where I'm seeing the misconception tbh. He had a perfectly reasonable response to the love of his life secretly planning to leave him. How long ago was it that he thought she hated him and went back to her father to get away from him and he only found out about it all by pure chance? Personally, I'd never want to let my wife go either if that happened to us. How long ago was it that Max almost died via mass blood loss and miscarriage because she pushed herself too hard being a badass? Not enough time has passed between these events for him to have any more measured a response than doing every deranged thing he can think of to keep her safe.
Max isn't even choosing herself. Not wholly. And he doesn't see it that way. He wants her to choose herself, but he wants her to love herself. She is doing this because she wants to prove herself, and wants to protect him.
I just don't get it. They're both good people who love each other so much, it's so flipping rare for an ml to not be a pile of shit why are there haters ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
I agree he had a perfectly reasonable response. I do wish he would of handled that sober though instead of being drunk of his arse and telling her you leave i will never wait for wait for you. That is 5% douchebagery and now for the next 3yrs she is thinking she will come back to a riftan who has moved on ARG!!!! I love this story for all the emotions it produces from me









Fusspot WHAT are you doing, why!! Why!!!!!!! Stop!!!! Keep your dang mouth shut!!!!
Seriously dude bc Cheol is an idiot he'd fall for you and forgive you if you just SHUT THE HELL UP
