The hate on riftan is just getting out of hand tbh. I get he goes about things the wrong way and I’m not gonna justify it. But given the hand he was dealt in his childhood I think he managing pretty okay. As someone who can empathize with riftans trauma bc I really relate, he’s not a terrible person. I feel like this comment section is making the stigma worse for people that deal with trauma. Obviously there are horrible people with trauma but riftan isn’t one of them. There’s no nuance to stuff like this at all. At the end of the day he’s letting her go and I think that’s a good step for him in itself. Although he might’ve went about it the wrong way you can’t just use that to label him entirely as an awful abusive price of shit. I have bpd and really bad abandonment issues and I do try very hard to live with it and I take medication. Unfortunately I do have moments like riftan where I panic and spiral. I wouldn’t say that makes people like me evil or abusive at all. I fucking hate this stigma around things like this. Fortunately for me I have some people that care and support me that can help me through this disorder. It’s complex and I really feel for riftan in certain moments. This comment section sucks. I also feel like it’s because riftan is a male and that’s why he’s getting so much hate. There’s an even worse stigma around men already that deal with trauma and bad mental health. I feel like if the tables were turned maxi wouldn’t get nearly as much hate.
*There is nuance
I'm there with you about Riftan. Once I read his whole backstory before marrying Maxi, all his behavior made sense. People forget there is no mental health services in this time setting. You either have someone in your life who can articulate and guide you, due to their family experience or their own mistakes, or you suffer through it.
Both of them are doing the best that they can. Neither of them are wrong to want what they want. Maxi is the only one who can see where this is going to lead to their ruin. Riftan is still stuck; he thought he had made it through his own challenge and he is currently finding out he has not made it to the peak of the mountain. He hasn't seen Maxi as a person but as the root of his happiness and desire. Even if he had never beat her father within an inch of his life, they would have fought over her wanting to gain some independence.
Riftan is physically independent while Maxi is loving to become emotionally AND physically independent. It is time for him to work on his mental health. He has good men around him that can help him do so, even by simply standing beside him. Maxi, thanks to the princess, knows how to look for people to support her in the same way.
They need this time apart. Maxi was suffocated by her father and she is now allowed to be a person. Riftan suffocated himself to survive and he doesn't know what to do with himself because he anchored so much on an idea of a person. They are having growing pains.
And to clarify, even if I didn't know more about his backstory, at this point, it is clear Riftan has put too much of his happiness on putting Maxi on a pedestal. He needs help. It isn't like some other stories where he brought this dismay entirely on himself. It's just sad to see others not recognize when something is wrong not because someone is horrible but because someone is hurt and it has festered.
Does anyone else feel so behind in life ?
Alllllllll the timeeeeeee. Constantly lol. It sucks so bad but I think I gotta realize that life isnt a race and I only feel this way cuz I compare myself to others when I shouldnt.
I feel like I waste so much time reading porn on this site ╥﹏╥ . It’s enjoyable but I feel it’s a guilty pleasure . I’m rotting …
I also feel like I’m rotting from the inside… Chopped and miserable brooo Σ( ￣□￣||)
Lmaooooo same! I was thinking about that the other day that I really spend too much time reading on here. I think it's just cuz I enjoy all the stories I read and it's a form of escapism for me. Life is hard and getting harder, I feel behind all the time, depressed and anxious but this website helps me take my mind off of everything so it's become a bit of a crutch for me and it's getting a little excessive cuz every moment I have for rest, I'm probably on here reading lol.
Everything feels so hard but it's easy to ignore when I can read about people being in love and having happy endings. Dont have to think about myself when I'm wrapped up reading about someone elses life and story
And its kinda funny cuz I still manage to do the things I have to do in real life to get by but it still feels like something I should feel guilty about
yeah I've never felt so behind in my life before
dont mean to get all sad and depressive but i dont have a job and i don't even do my online classes :p I just read all day and i usually just read slop anyway
but at the same time i still feel somewhat above others because i read way more than the average person my age so my media literacy is also higher than average..
Bitch I’m unemployed too ╥﹏╥. The job market is so bad rn where I live. I’ve applied to several jobs and done a few interviews and have been rejected by all of them . I’m so over this shit .
Sameeee, this is literally where I escape too . I have bad luck with relationships in real life but on here I can read amazing romantic stories and it makes my heart fluff and I feel good . Then I get depressed bc the shit don’t exist in reality lmao .
Any recs where a guy gets transported back in time/ reincarnated and is the main character instead of a female .

If you want like those historical romance, these are the only ones I know.
These are all the ones I’ve read and would recommend where a male Mc goes back in time. I’ve got a lot more if you want plain reincarnation or transmigration.

Yall getting mad at people for calling this shit out for what it is and then trying to defend it saying “It’s fictional”. So I guess that means anything is okay as long as it’s fictional. I guess anything on this site that glamorizing rape is okay since it’s fictional. Yalls logic is gross asf. We are allowed to call out shit that’s obvious gross and wrong asf and harmful towards children. Yall saying “at least the pedos are reading it here” wtf??? Yall tryna make it seem acceptable. Fucking pedophile apologists all over this fucking comment section. It’s fucking disgusting. Go get some fucking therapy. Anyone defending this shit needs fucking help . Stop fucking gaslighting and just say ur a fucking monster.
I think we should have more people speaking out and hating the people acting on these actions in real life and not characters in a book
@Katsu lol not u blocking me. Yall hate being called out. Cry harder
