Yaaay the libido dildo is finally screwing the correct thing (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yeah, but this W is so short-lived (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I feel it's gonna be the dirtbag dad whose gonna tell her and that is going to destroy her. Any sense of achievement she is feeling would be swiped by it. And let's not forget the walking libido dildo did not even comfort her after she woke up so she is gonna spiral thinking he is gonna abandon her cuz that fucker has one working braincell in his ballsack. I feel bad for what is gonna come.
P.S.: someone said that he had Ruth use magic on him to have the perfect image of Maxi imprinted on him and that makes it so so much worse cuz all her life she was looked down upon for not being "perfect" and she has always been struggling desperately to prove herself, to show she does not lack anything. Can someone make this a GL with Princess Agnes? I think that might be much better. ┗( T﹏T )┛
THE WALKING LIBIIDO DILDO IM CRYING
Asshole had always objectified Maxi from the start, but most could hardly see it because of all the unnecessary smut and bare minimum "romantic" moments between them. I'd absolutely prefer a GL romance between Agnes and Maxi.
I always felt uneasy with the erotica part of this work. Like it gave major creepy vibes. A GL or a bisexual reverse harem would be great. But a person can only hope.
The ML albeit complete trash is good for his money and Dick. So although the bar is in he'll, gotta power through unless someone decides to redeem this buffon or change the genre.
Like my man I get you are mourning the death of your child and recovering from almost losing your wide. But pray tell have you actually used any of your brain cells to understand her better. Like all your EQ points went to make you buff huh? You have a sorcerer, I am pretty sure you would have a good intelligence unit too and you couldn't collect any info as to why your wife did not come and live with you from the start? Whyshe desperately tries to show you she is useful and can contribute to things? Someone smack this idiots' head because he has been irritating me from the very beginning. You are smart enough to kill a dragon but not smart enough to understand your life partner? At times I feel like he just loves to have sex with her and that's about it. That poor girl had been ostracized and put down all her life. When she saw she could maybe do something to show she is important too, this arse of a man goes all toxic, which is like every other time when he is not trying to have sex with her. He treats her like a trophy wife, I see less reverence and devotion than lust and conquest in his actions towards Maxi. Also even if she had not dropped the cliff, she would have been really badly injured. So his idea was that she should have never come to Ethelene in the first place just dwindle back in the monastery wether he is doa. That would have done wonders for a person who is weak in health and is pregnant. SOMEONE I BEG OF YOU SMACK THIS GUY. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Nah, come on, cut him some slack! He's "husband material"—a green flag, a whole-ass forest, remember? He LOOOOVES Maxi so much, I mean look at how often he fucks her basically ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE whenever he feels like getting his rocks off—it doesn't matter if they rough it in the woods or in the same room as his MEN—he's horny and needs to claim his wifey! (˶❛⩊❛˵).
Here, maybe reading his POV side story will help you understand and excuse his insufferable behavior towards his traumatized and docile wife, who's arguably the weaker one in the dynamic. Yup, through his POV story, you'll find out all kinds of lovely things about him, like how he essentially created an idealized version of Maxi in his mind by using Ruth’s illusion magic on himself—slowly becoming addicted and obsessed with that image of Maxi, making one question whether he truly ever loved Maxi, or just the one in his fantasies. True love, am I right?
He can go get fucked with a cactus for all I care about his pov. I never really felt he was a "green" flag, I would have loved this story if Riftan was just kept away at wars and Maxi builds up her confidence with the support of those around her.
He is raging me so bloody damn much that I wanna comment in my mother tongue (╬￣皿￣)凸
Yeah, ngl I feel that the story would've been a lot more interesting had it mainly been centered on Maxi as the protagonist, healing from her trauma and finding herself instead of it being a "love story." I'm so sick of the cope that fans use—that Maxi and Riftan's story is about their love "healing" each other despite the odds being against them. Sorry, but Maxi's the only one doing any healing here. Riftan, however? He just chooses to stay angry for most of the narrative, until the very end when he finally pulls his head out his ass, and admits to Maxi that he's "proud" of her. Yeah. Took you only the whole story, dumbass.
Man Mangago should really add a like button to other comments I'M LOVING THIS COMMENT
Genuinely, Can't understand how people keep taking his side. HE IS IN NO WAY a greenflag. He has NO redeeming qualities, Genuinely tried to understand but after a certain point Ik I'll just always hate Riftan. And I've come to realise why I hate him even more now. In a lot of stories where the ML is cold and aloof but not to the FL, its just a different way of saying that He's disrespectful towards everyone else other than the FL, And I dislike this so much because who is to say you wouldn't mistreat her once you lose interest in, But at least for other MLs like that their saving grace is that they treat the FL with respect. AND THATS THE THE PROBLEM WOTH RIFTAN, RIFTAN NOT ONLY DISRESPECTS OTHERS, BUT HE ALSO DISRESPECTS MAXI. So HE GENUINELY has NO redeeming qualities WHATSOEVER. This story is not in ANYWAY romantic. I mean is it just me or my standards of a romance is them being able tk communicate with each other, Actually have a normal conversation without turning it into sex all the damn time, and growing together. Its only Maxi pulling the reins in the relationship, Constantly trying to communicate with a man who only thinks Sex, Put her on a trophy, Sex, she's not listening to me, Sex, sex, Sex, Sex, Sex....... Oh did I mention, SEX? And I have to say, Riftan is ugly as hell thanks to how awful he treats Maxi with his disproportionate looking ass
Lololol, thank you
BRRRUUUUUHH THANK YOU! THIS! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS!!!! FROM BEGINNING TO END, NO LIES WERE SPOKEN.
Lol, especially the part about Riftan being ugly. I thought I was alone in this sentiment, but the prick looks like a cave hobo, and he's built like a fridge with a sentient dildo.
Ugh don't get me started on his Physique I genuinely don't like how he's built either. And its not just him but all the male characters, They look so disproportionate, BUt at least for the others I can still like them because they aren't awful. I've realised after a certain point that The ONLY reason I'm still reading this story is for Maxi

Idk if it's the tl but having the imperial family be called Moran which I read as moron helps lil in maintaining my anger at those human incarnated roaches.
I was hoping the ml won't be this pathetically bad at saving someone but God he is fucking slow. I love the fact Ahseo didn't need him for the majority of it. Atp the he is just pretty boy for Ahseo, effing useless.
(╬￣皿￣)凸
Why do I have feeling that her bro will turn up to be a psycho siscon with control issues and would be the final pillar of the nation or something....
I wouldn't be surprised
My shayla (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Your shayla keep getting in messes Σ( ￣□￣||)
Ik that hurts my heart more than I would like to admit ╥﹏╥
It'll get better (づ￣ ³￣)づ(づ￣ ³￣)づ
It doesn't seem like that （/TДT)/
Seems like he has always been in messes (⊙…⊙ )
Riftan is this epitome of self centredness like fucker get your wife a healer first then Bash the living daylights outta the fil. Ik he deserved it, but she is more important In that moment. Come on fucking piece of rye bread, like lord have mercy and shower cells of eq to you
He saw Maxi cover in her own blood and saw red. I am sorry, as much as she is important, the feral rage of seeing someone you love in that state, you would see so much red that you have no choice but to go after the one who harmed them first. Anyone in his position and that much rage and anger would be driven to neutralize or even kill the threat before tending to the wounded.
With his rage, I think at that point of time he is losing his mind seeing his wife that he tried to shelter being beaten up so badly by her own father. The losing his mind I am talking about is the fact that he has to come to terms how misguided he has been thinking her dad is a safeplace for her. Second is because due to this, he is also part to blame for putting Maxi in that situation. So that's why his rage is just too consuming at that moment. It's not that he doesn't care about Maxi, but the absurdity of the whole situation probably hit him hard. He is still very much aware of Maxi getting hurt, which is evident from the fact that he doesn't trust anyone to be near Maxi at all. People always blame Riftan for a lot of things, but seriously even if you're put in a situation where you see your loved ones getting tortured, by instinctsyou would remove the active threat first before attending to the injury. No point attending to the injury when the person who is causing the injury is still there.
Lord, give this reader common sense.
Fine he saw rage, my point is this is his rage more important or healing the woman because of whom he is enraged. You can't justify this man to me ever. To you it may not make any sense but throughout this story he has never once put Maxi first. Everything stems from his own emotions, Maxi did not come live in Anatol during war, he concluded she must not like him since she is a noble and treated her coldly. He has a mage in his army did he ever come to think check why, nuh uh. Maxi tries to mingle with army gets drunk, how can she do that be around so many men aren't Riftan the great. He is feeling so he will have sex with her outdoors despite her protests. She is left in a monastery while he goes to war, does not get any info tries to help in a way she knows how, gets shouted and confined. She feeakjng saves the entire battle loses her child guess what he does shouts at her. She is beaten and her darkest truth is exposed first course of action is not to go to her but to vent his anger, they would have done better to make it a yuri. To me he is a slight upgrade from her father. She has been caged for her entire life and thought he is freedom, he is her hope, but what do ya know man has just put her on a pedestal if she falters from that image he has built of her he becomes a fucking numbskull. So yea his character does not sit well with me. And don't come to me saying you should not read this kind of story then. Man is being portrayed as a supposed green flag that was the msp, boy is just a pos to me.
Threat??? Duke of Crusty cunt is a threat to him?
Not to him, to Maxi. You need to catch up deary.
He has his faults, yes however, say he does go tend to Maxi first, that gives her father time to berate more and call for the guards. The line ger he is conscious the more of a threat to Maxi that he is. Riftan is a long way from being redeemed but neutralizing the man first is the right step but also within that rage, he didn't trust another person near Maxi until his Mage said he only wanted to get her treated, even then he knew she needs treatment but there are emotions he is feeling that are right now overwhelming him. He does care for Maxi, too much even that is over the border of overprotectiveness due to his false sense of "she grew up as the precious daughter to the Croyso family so I must make sure she doesn't lift a finger." Seeing that image shatter, he didn't think about himself in that moment, his first thought was to get this man away from Maxi, by at all cost.
*the longer he is
Hahahhahahahah I love this!
I suggest getting this proofread with either ChatGPT or Gemini to get your message across.
As a reader, you have a very narrow lens. I only hear you shouting to prove your point about Riftan's rough external and how he is yet to learn regulating his over the top emotions for Maxi. However disregard the facts such as him growing up with men and living the most dangerous life, opposed to his sheltered wife with rumors of being frail and sickly only because of his retarded father's secret.
We're not convincing you to change your perspective of him. But your topic was merely about Riftan's prioritization at the time. If you'd be in a situation where you witness a loved one being tortured, you'd heal your loved one while the abuser is still hot and heavy with his self-righteousness, that when you interfere he'd deem you punishable as well? So then both of you'd be tortured. And what, your loved one will continue to feel humiliated because as beaten as they were, they couldn't have any chance to defend nor get themselves back because what, you'd rather not deal with the abuser. Tolerate them, ey?
To you it may not make any sense, but the mere thought of Maxi having been traumatized all her life, to the point that she doesn't have an ounce of self-esteem, is a priority at the time. The priority to wash away the idea that whatever she went through was irredeemably wrong and his father deserves to take it all back. Ten times more.
Also, you can't stop me from saying don't fkcing read this. You're making the characters and the story bad because of your sick bias of gentle treatment. There's a whole wide array of genre, deary. Pick something your heart and mind can digest. ╰( ･ ᗜ ･ )➝
Nice to see someone has the sense to look at it from this perspective. It is also like disregarding Riftan and how horrible he must be feeling but look at him holding it back now that the Croyso lord is down and Maxi is back in his care. The people around them are also pissed at the sick treatment she received and we're the ones yelling for Riftan sense opening his mouth will definitely make it worse than it already is.
Dearest gentle reader,
A. He did not stop, he had to be stopped.
B. He smacked the duke with a chair, the old guy went down, he has his knights and mage in his tow.
C. It is not an aspect of gentle treatment, the story at the start came of as her coming out of that hell hole of a house to a home that will help her look past that. You wanna guess who was the only person not able to do much on that end for her?
D. If you have read the novel, or the spoiler comments you know he isn't changing.
E. The moment Riftan enters the door has the convo with duke and turns back, Maxi's face shows that her fears have come true. Which is then met by shock that he actually did care. Imo theatrics weren't needed.
F. He has his knights in his tow, they know what to do so yea, contain your anger and tend to your wife is the correct choice imo b/w exploding v/s tending.
G. Yea I agree, I am biased and influenced by my general misandry and am judging through biased lens which was set basis what the story initially implied upon.
H. This used to be my favorite story at the point when she got her cats, started learning magic and everything. He irked me at that time and now he straight up pisses me off. Because in my mind I haven't gotten over him hiding the miscarriage and his treatment of her after that incident. Why do men need to be so lud. Ugh
I. Hope the bullet list puts the point across, and if yall really need Gemini and gpt here to comment.. tch that's a shame.
J. Its an open space to comment things, yall don't like it you can move past it deary ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I stand by my point, darling. The topic is about Maxi's prioritization during this chapter. Why do you feel the need to keep inserting your disgust about the storyline? Make a new post about it, don't jump too many skips.
And yes, it's such a shame that you're ashamed of utilizing technology. It would've helped you organize your bullet points, which actually confused me at first. "Are they giving me options, like in a test?" But later found out you were actually enumerating POVs. My bad. A for effort, but thoughts are still all over the place.
Finally, now we got the root cause for all the twisted understanding. You have a bias genre. All the more reason to encourage you to stop reading this, then. Oh, and before I forgot, don't educate me about the novel. I eat that like my breakfast. Want me to tell you how Maxi finally felt her value when Riftan offered his geas during the most important ceremony? Or how about the time Maxi unsuccessfully snuck out from her mage peers as she wanted to enjoy the festival separately? Or better yet, I can describe to you the horrendous tactic Riftan came up with to outwit the Dark Mages. If you know all these, good. But all the more ironic how forced the hate is. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
You know after this long discussion I asked about this particular pov to a lot many of my friends on discord who are up to date on the story, surprisingly they preferred the gentle approach. Just a matter of taste ig.
There is no shame in using tech, we are reading manwhas/Mangas on a proxy site. But to use ai tools to put your point across is an unnecessary crutch. Must have been funny seeing an mcq in comments for you.
Every person has a standard they use to judge people in real life, to understand if a person is going to be good for them in their life or not. And I use that standard irrespective of real life or fiction. Funny how that becomes a twisted understanding. You can have the story for a 3 course meal for all I care. And better yet, keep on tooting your horn as such. Your response of a persons differing opinion is.... interesting darling.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Better composition. You learn quick. You're welcome.
