Classic damsel in distress. Needs to be saved by a big strong manly man. I hate it. Also, ...

It's not a classic damsel in distress. She literally saved her team and defended herself from goblins

That’s his wife?? Was he supposed to leave his wife? His troops can surely find their way while she was literally alone and drowning.

Wow. I wonder who has been sheltering her instead of preparing her for the dangers of the world...

she literally evaporated a goblin what do you mean distress, she defo coulda found a way out of the water w magic

Meant to downvote oops

Let my girl catch a break. She clearly had a character development

Guys i think this one is either a troll or has no idea of the story

Wow, why so much butthurt? Relax, why so touchy because of one opinion???

No, I'm reading the same story, you just form different opinion

Not really, I do not see much of this development. Maybe I just do not like such a meek characters as MC.

No problem :)

And than almost died... Nice.

He was not supposed to take her at all. And yes, he has subordinates to whom he should have delegated the mission to find her. Commander should not leave his troops.

No one? She doesn't need to be a warrior, a knight or even a wizard. She already has a title - she is a lady of the castle. It just she doesn't like her position in life, which is understandable, she did not choose it. But it's not a way to handle it - going to the dangerous mission with no preparation at all. Everyone are crying - they had no choice, they needed a healer. Naaah, it is clear that magic healers are rare in this world, knights are trained to handle themselfs. Healer is a bonus, yes, but they should have been ok without one.

Girl, she's a mage, but she's still their only healer. And his wife, to boot! What, did you expect him to be nonchalant and let her be on her own when this is her first campaign? Heck, it's even her first time riding on her own, out on a trip!

Exactly! Why is she even there?!

U don’t understand. At times like this—the commander could assign one of his troops to lead while his gone. That man love his wife, he’d do anything for her and he knows her better than any of his troop. Do you think they could’ve found her faster than riftan? Just seconds later she could’ve been literally dead. it’s been known riftan would drop anything for his lovely wife and let’s not act like that’s a bad thing lol

Why can't she? Or would you rather they bring with them the frail, old mage instead? This wasn't a good idea from Maxi, but it couldn't be helped as Ruth has already gone ahead. I get that Maxi and Riftan are frustrating, but do widen your perspective on the plot and the setting. If you just try, everything makes sense, you know...

No one is okay without a healer. They're knights AND humans. Their enemy are monsters which regenerates twofold their numbers. The least you want is to have anyone get injured and decrease the number of your soldiers which could potentially drag the fighting post and strategy of the team.

You said "they should've been okay". It is precisely because they aren't okay, and the situation isn't okay that the need of a healer is imperative.

I disagree. I’m also not really into soft or really weak fls but she really isn’t a damsel in distress she can handle herself pretty well and she doesn’t actually get in the way she just stays in the castle but now she actually wants to try, help out and actively, try to improve herself. Which she did she helped out many people and we can see her character slowly getting stronger. An example of a damsel in distress would be someone like Ruby, where she generally does get in the way and 99% of the plot is someone hurting her and big daddy ml comes and saves her. Ruby doesn’t try to improve herself at all and gives up so easily someone is slightly mean to her. She also constantly puts herself in risky situations. This fl doesn’t do that she tries actually her hardest not to get in the way and even if people are slightly mean to her, she still actively tries to improve herself and survive.
