I'm only at chap 13

Huh? Lol. Try reading the novel and riftan's pov. If you still don't like it ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Except, the manhwa should've include more of Riftan's poverty. People like myself will only judge him through the manhwa

The webtoon is still not finish so who knows maybe they'll include that

I hope so, bc so far Riftan acts rape-ish and seems to be only lusting after Maxi

Dude she's his wife and the fact that they only spend 1 night together after the wedding and having to go to war years after that it is normal that he feel horny toward her and he never force Maxi to have sex with him he ask her

You know that marital r@pe is a thing ? Just bc they're married or bc he's horny doesn't mine he cannot keep his hands for himself/control himself. On their first night he literally said '' we have to fulfill our (marital) duties '' and '' if you hate it endure it bc I won't be able to stop''. Like have you ever heard about consent ? Just bc one agrees on something doesn't mean they cannot stop during the act. ☠Yikes

A lil bit spoiler....












He actually fell in love with her when they were both young. So I wouldn't say that he's only lusting after her. His constant nagging and overprotectiveness on Maxi is what I hate about him though it's understandable due to what happened to him in the past and since he still thinks that Maxi is a pampered noble weak girl... I still love Riftan though, I'm just waiting for his character development.

Thanks for the spoiler, them ''knowing'' each other since they're young is pretty cute.
I mean so far he has been more interested in *bed activities* rather than knowing how Maxi lived in the Croix Castle...

Can u please give me the novel link if u have it?

Actually Maxi kinda forgot about Riftan when they were young .
Him not asking Maxi about what her life was like in the Croix castle kinda annoyed me and also when he keeps assuming that she's weak and cannot do anything. He just keeps assuming that she's a pampered noble ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ. But hey at least he's not like that ML from Lucia where he's more interested in having sex with the FL and also waking the FL just to have sex

And a warning though.. if you decided to read the novel until its recent updates. You might get annoyed and hate Riftan to the whole new level

I partially agree with this... tho it may have a similar pattern to Cinderella, but don't all trope have them? Try giving it a chance, I feel like the entirety and what the story represent, is pretty meaning full, and just kinda new and refreshing.
An FL who takes a realistic chacter development, Actually takes abuse, anxiety, and stuttering seriously (Most stories I read just seems to make stuttering a fcking stereotype, like as if people in real life don't struggle from it) and How despite given the chance to live a "normal life" she still chooses to change it, and develop herself by her own choice. On going to the story you'll just slowly see her develop! And I hope her development is to your satisfaction!

Tho also Agree with you with the fact that I didn't like riftan that much, but Also give him the chance! Maybe they'll show his view of the story! I really enjoy the authors writing you see, because in real life what happens in our childhood greatly affects our behavior as an adult and it just the author shows it? Like maxi is acting like because of her trauma and Riftan Is acting like thag because of his own reason!

Ps: IDK WHY I GAVE A WHOLE DAMN ESSAY!!! I hope I haven't said anything offensive... But what I was trying to say is that, this story is pretty slow burn, but give them a chance! They might grow on you! (Tho Can't say for sure because people have different tasts and that's fine!)
