At this point I would honestly pay to be able to read this because it's been difficult for me to understand whats going on with the fan translations. I thought it might be on Lezhin or something but I haven't been able to find it...
Yes there’s an official English translation, it’s called My Life as an Internet Novel and it’s available on T@pas, Tappytoon, Pocket Comics
I was enjoying this initially , but Riftan's "cute" overprotectiveness is quickly becoming abusive and I'm no longer having fun... I was hoping that he would lift her up to become stronger and help her along her development into a badass female character. I was hoping this was just a bump in the road and it would get better, but according to some of the comments I shouldn't hold my breath. ╥﹏╥
He desperately wants her to live a life with no hardships. It's a constant struggle for him, and becomes exceptionally hard when...
.... spoilerssss
She she nearly loses her life. (On multiple occasions) which leaves him traumatized.
He does get better, he acknowledges her growth and comes to terms that she is an asset. Though yes he would still prefer she's way out of harms way, he doesn't get so anal about it anymore. So yeah he is showing character growth by recognizing his unbearable overprotectiveness actually hurts Maxi.
Sidenote: Although Riftan is kindhearted deep down (he cares about his comrades + ppl of anatol) I feel like If Maxi wanted the world to burn, he'd set it ablaze no hesitation.
If you've read the light novel version of this story, or even if you haven't, I recommend reading the side story, 'riftan'sPOV'. Its the story of his childhood(tragic) and everything leading up to his marriage to maxi. I don't know why it's a side story since you can't help but hate riftan without it and it's probably more relevant to their character arcs than half the stuff in the main story.
