I see why you hate him and it’s absolute valid. But if you read the novel it shows that he’s super insecure in the marriage. Since he thinks that Maxi is a dukes daughter and pampered all her life, she would see him as unsuitable and just an unruly knight. You can even see it here when he says what he gives her is not to her taste and that he’ll give her better oneand such like that. Tbh I think the novel portrays it better there but yeah.

I already read the novel (until 60 I think ? More that 50 I'm sure), the sensation is worst in novel xD i'm sorry, but I even think that the mangas is less violent because the art is just beautiful and for a "child public" so not really hot scene and a lot of details aren't put and fortunately for me, I find this maxi so SO cute (with drawings it has more effects in me).

And Riftan, no, I can't. He didn't know her and I find he didn't particularly search to understand her, that's to say, being more patient, more nice, I don't asks maternals acts but just stop shout at her, stop to watch her like he is seeing a soldier... This is a noble woman, himself he knows that her education is totally different compared to his, he knows she is not used to violence. He didn't seems to ask her tastes, what she thinks, just a moment where he shouts his mouth during 10 min and he lets her talk. I say that because I'm this person really sociable and who has no difficulties with people, if I don't control myself I can talk a lot, with a high volume, and sometimes shy people doesn't dare to interract
.. so this a work, I don't say that he changes his temper, but if you are impulsive you must control youself and be critic about your action espeacially if you see that your wife is fragile mentally and easily scared...

This is worst in the novel for me* because sex scene also... Which are excessive in some moment for me...

Totally agree and I see what you mean by that, I was kinda hating that he would lash out and not control his temper. I’m not that far in the novel only 40? chapters in. But yeah, I wasn’t disagreeing with you, it’s true anyways. I hope it all works out.

Honestly if the male character was different it would be a sappy love story. Im grateful he is the way he is now. it makes the story interesting. it shows how some men are in life. not all men are going to be understanding all the time and listen to their wives whenever she talks. Not all men have patience so the ML being hot tempered is fine to some viewers. The point is to accept people for who they are. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

Yes the first day of marriage was kind of insulting to the female but the point is for them to grow to understand one another. If he was a understanding, caring and easy going character i would think it would be boring and drop it. so i dont share your view at all. But whats for you is for you. This is just my opinion.

Sorry, but aren't you taking this too seriously?
The story is set in a medieval fantasy world and it's obvious that the character's ideals are outdated and meant to match the setting. The male lead even says that he wouldn't divorce the protagonist because it'd go against the religious constitution or something along those lines. It was common for couples in medieval times to have sex on the first night of their marriage, because at the time the main role of women in society was to raise children. More than him forcing her I think it's just considered 'common sense'. Obviously in modern society this idea is ridiculous but it'd be more weird if the knight was a righteous gentleman who went against what was considered the norm at the time. It wouldn't be totally ridiculous if the male lead was more understanding, but I think the author is really trying hard to make you see how grim the world can be and how, in contrast the male lead is way better. Plus, the guy is of common birth and a knight warrior, wouldn't it be weird if he wasn't a bit gruff and rough around the edges?

I'm not agree and disagree with the fact that we must accept people like they are. I'm agree that yes, in absolute term, you choose a person for his qualities. But a person has negative point, which can be hurting, and really bad, if you loves someone you must accept a person but not totally accept his bad point especially the really bad point. You can't just say "accept them like they are" and let pass dangerous and violent things. For me, Riftan did a lot of things that aren't morally and personnaly acceptable. This is his role to critic his own temper like a real human. You can just say "they must accept like I'm" because you are a couple, you live with a person who possess different tastes, sensibility, a different temper... Etc If you don't make a effort to listen critics and stop what make your lovers hurts, you will finish alone in fact... Couple, i'm totally agree is accept people like they are but when this something too bad, this is certainly not the case. Riftan in this temper needs to maintain himself, to have a selfcontrol in the same way Maxi needs to be more open, less shy and succeed in expressing her feelings... But evolution needs to have confession with "Ok, There I did something bad" this is for me the principle of the reflexion.
Personally, I'm not nice like you are, if a man doesn'r make any effort, he will just get away for my life and if he talks to me with this tonaly like Riftan did, I will asks him to stop immediately and really I will be angry.

This is your opinion then, I respect totally this, good day !

All warrior wasn't violent and agressive with their wife, I don't know why just a gentle man will be specially like this ? I don't see what you mean.. I don't criticize moral, and thanks, I didn't anachronism, because it's like middle age worked (this is the inspiration there) but Riftan's temper, I don't see where did you see that I wanted a characters against rules of the society norms... xD Have ancient moral is not synonym than the man is obsviouly violent and disrespecfull to his wife... I reassure you, it exist : man during history who are nice, respecful and didn't have Riftan's temper, even in middle age... I know history, you don't need to say that, I don't see why you talk about that, it's not because you must have your wedding night that all men was super violent with their wife, like Riftan was, this is a cliché in modern society, there was kind men also x) ... Yes violent men existed but old moral doesn't mean bad men ...

And take too seriously ? I don't have the right to give my opinion ? Today a negative opinion is synonym of "you take this too seriously" x)... If I see a bad representation of men I say it, that's all, really x) haha

I didn't mean to come across as rude when I said that you're taking this too seriously. It's obviously okay to share your opinions on a story, and I'm sorry if I came across that way. It's true that kind and morally righteous men existed in history, and that the main lead doesn't really fall into that category, and I don't think he has to be. The male lead doesn't really come across as really a douche to me, probably because I feel like his behaviour is more so a result of miscommunication that the author placed in the story in order to keep the readers intrigued or whatever. In these types of stories its common to have men whose behaviours is harsh and morally wrong since it usually creates conflict and spices up the relationships between the characters. As you said, this is a bad representation of men and this type of behaviour is not tolerated in real life, by anybody. However, since it's fiction I don't mind, and it doesn't make me feel wronged in any sort of way because its fake. It's like fan service in anime; you know its ridiculous and an inaccurate representation of the human body, but its fiction and meant to please the eyes of men/women watching, you don't feel any incentive to get mad about how inaccurate it is. Honestly if this story had a fluffy love interest who 'healed' the protagonist from her trauma I'd get bored immediately over how cliche it'd be

I don't think he was disrespectful or violent with her at all tho. Being short-tempered is totally different from all of that really. Yes he is short tempered but many people are regardless of the era they were born in. And honestly if people started to regard short-temperedness as a form of violence, I m afraid a lot of people would be behind bars for this. And in their first night he asked her if she wanted it or not (he had absolutely no idea abt her fears at least that's what I got from my read) and she said yes.

She was afraid that's y she agreed but he doesn't know that... That's all there is to it really. I don't see what is there to dislike abt him here. He seems pretty real and normal to me.

I already explained why for me, he is disrespectful and violent, you can just read my precision... ^^ he is not only "short-tempered" for me, and yes he is violent : if you shouts without real reason (god she is litterally muted by fear...she says even three words ...), and begin act physically with the person without approach her with diplomaty, you kiss her without any nice approach, especially when you didn't anything since three years with the person... This is a total unknown fo her... If it was a couple which communication during these three years I would understand. That's not the case. If you're ready to accept this attitude easily.. that's clearly not my case. A girl by fear can say "yes" absolutely at all. That's a rape, if she is really intimidate by him, and manipuled by her maids who litterally says to her "shut up and do anything he wants"... He didn't let her explain, he didn't try to talk with her, what did she thought, what did she likes, just a "are u really okay ?" i mean... Just loking at her we see that she is afraid to death... That's ridiculous to say that he didn't know, she is litterally like a ice, just stand waiting her fate x)...
But if you aren't agree with me... we aren't agree, I'm totally disagree with u, and... That's all xD that's not my problem, my opinion will not change ^^' if you, you don't understand why I think that, if you find that just being "short tempered" and that this excuse all he did to her, I'm sorry but I can't to anything else more like I said You have your opinion ^∆^

I wanted say just a "Are u really okay" "it's gonna be fine" would be more correct, more polite and more respectfull...**

so, i might be wrong, ii'm yet to start the novel , but I had a really strong hunch he is just an oversized puppy. Seeing from the setting and him being a commoner his brash attitude is ok for him, he might as well act this way with the soldiers (physically) and Maxi and him don't know each other very well, I really think once they start to comprehend the little bits of themselves, they'll adapt. Like him stopping being so handsy and brash or she stopping labelling Rift as the same as her "father". I hope I'm right because this case from my perspective might as well be a huge one of misunderstanding, u know? But it`s just my analysis. I will see if eventually it`s worth it.

IKRRRRR HE'S SUCH A SUPER REFRESHING MC (╥﹏╥)

RIGHT. usually the ukes are one of two-
incredibly naive to the point where its PAINFUL. it doesn't bother me if there's a reason for it, but you cant tell me the AVERAGE highschool boy doesn't know what sex is. THAT PISSES ME OFF. And on top of that they don't know how to take care of themselves and get super attached the wrong people and these are the ones that will be in love for years and pull the stupid "Do I love him?" After the seme has already poured his heart out and then desperately try to get the seme back when the seme CLEARLY deserves better

THEN theres the "I take no bullshit" uke that is overly aggressive and constantly like verbally abuses their partner and never likes to show affection. It's funny for a while but then after they've been having sex for years they'll still act like they were forced into it. these are the characters that also see the seme talking to ONE girl and turn around and cry like "he never loved me" and its always either one of three- mom (like 20% of the time), friend that already is in a relationship (10% of the time) and the last is the SISTER about 80% of the time. they also suck at communication.

this mc? he's beautiful. smart. average person with trauma that fell in love and is working past it. IM IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY. It's like it's healing my past bl trauma all in one go
