of course she won't be good at anything at first, she never got any attention or education on the world around her. how can she be good if they never let her try anything and isolte her, abuse her, breaking her spirit apart. I'm surpise she manage to ask for help at all after all the abuse. if you were in her place, would you be good at anything?
but the good thing about her she want to be better and learn, so she can improve herself
I get that the story is supposed to see her evolve and become more capable, but it seems that so much of her appeal is how oblivious she is. Which is kind of iffy to me. Besides her father did abused her but she did get an education, as she has at least basic knowledge of the kingdom, so it's not like she is ignorant of nobility. I wish the story would focus more on her first before forcing her into a relationship, because right now she's acts a lot like a child.
I'm pretty sure she didn't get an education, or at least not a good one, she was neglected and abused. Even if she got an education, she wouldn't be confident in what she learned because of how much she was belittled, but now that she's in a new environment she's able to peacefully-ish learn and voice out her confusion. I'm pretty sure she is basically a child mentally, but she'll get there someday
She might have been taught the basics of her home, but being taught and actually doing something is completely different. She never went to parties, talk to someone comfortably, the only thing she had was abuse from everyone that surrounded her fairytales. Experience is what takes you places not a textbook.
Here is the fucking thing SHE IS TRYING TO LEARN!!!! Did you happen to see that??? Were you to busy looking at her insecurities and making that her only charatraits, were you to blind to see she is actually changing little by little. She doesnt act ignorant because she is head strong, once she learns she knows what is right and wrong, she doesnt want to disappoint people and she is afraid to be hurt.
She isnt acting like a child, she isnt throwing tantrums when she doesnt understand or when she doesnt get her way. She doesnt take what she thinks is right and then throws it in everyone's face. She isnt a shining hero, she isnt the cunning villainess, she isnt the bratty kid that's gets in everyone's way. She isnt asking for much of anything and she is MOST CERTAINLY not asking to be treated like she was. She is only trying to survive.
Abuse messes people up, dipshit. She is in her healing process, and when someone is hurt "babying" is only human right. It gives her reassurance to know she has done good which builds confidence SOMETHING SHE DOESNT HAVE BTW!!! she isnt choosing to be incapable of doing things, but she is trying to do them right.
I wasn't busy making that her only characteristics, the author already does a good job about it. Or do you know anything else about her?Cause I wish I did. I like her. I don't like, so far, how the story progresses and is using her narrative. Did you get that? Or do I need to randomly write in caps-locks for you to understand?
I know nothing more of the story than what is on this website. I do not read the novel nor do I look at the spoilers people have said. All I know is what I've read. People see things differently than other my understanding of her character has heavy influence on my general understanding of fictional writing and personal experience.
Also my usage of capitalization was to emphasize my point because some people (I am not directing at anyone specifically) seem to look over thing I am saying. But also more importantly it was to had a sense of light heartedness and a more comical interpretation of the point I was trying to get across.
Capitalization helps draw the eye, and even helps break up text, for some easier to read. It's the same when we split up paragraphs to not make it seem so blocky, or like when we use commas, periods, brackets, hyphens, and most importantly the use of the space bar. Youcouldtypeeverythinglikethisandpeoplecouldread,maybe. But that isn't every attractive
I see where you are coming from. I love maxi and cant wait for character development, but to grow she needs to ask for help (which she is doing yay!) I think that the story is going for a long process of healing, because in real life, that is what it takes. Maxi is an admirable woman. I also want to see her progress more as herself rather than a relationship, but sometimes relationships help heal other people, which is what Riftan is helping Maxi with if that makes sense? I see where you are coming from though, and some people misunderstood your intentions.
I get where you're coming form, but I have a much more pessimistic view of the narrative so far. I just feel like this story won't focus on her development at all. It's clearly way more interested in the relationship between Maxi and the Riftan. Which wouldn't be bad if they were on equal footing, but it's clear that Maxi needs to grow a lot more in order to be in a healthy relationship.Their relationship is also much more physical than emotional, mostly due to Riftan not being a great communicator which does more damage to Maxi who's already prone to doubting herself. I'll continue reading hoping that the manga will prove me wrong because I really do like the art.
I disagree it won't focus on her development, what the story did until now and will do in the future most of the chance is focus on her healing and Maxi mantel state. we saw how she changes a lot, she is able to ask for help after all the abuse she felt. it may seem simple and nothing to you, but for people that suffer abuse is a big stape, very big. most of them will never ask anything their whole life
mostly I don't really mind will focus on both things, since relationships, many of them and not just her husband help people grow better from how they are. personality I don't think it a toxic or bad relationship, he spoils her a lot but that what she needs right now and he feel it. both of them influence each other, so of course, it will change when she changes.
I think right now they still new (both of them) so they mostly using physical, but like I said I do believe Ritan does give a big emotional support! and it does help her a lot.
Edit: I think people misunderstood. I don't hate the FL(nor do I thinks she's stupid), I hate that she's in this type of story. Because I know that the relationship will be prioritised before her self development. She needs therapy not d*ck. And the message that victims of abuse need someone else to save them or love will heal them isn't healthy. neither do I think infantilising victims of trauma a good message, because we literally know nothing else about her. No hobbies, memories, nothing. Victims of trauma are more than just abuse they faced.
Original: Is the FL good at anything? She seems pretty incompetent at everything that's asked of her. I don't know if I really like overly childish main characters who need to be babied.
