Y'all I'm at chap 4 but why is maxi like this ? Please tell me she gets better bc a whimpering FL is very annoying. I'm not talking about her stuttering but why is she always so scared
I don't know if she will grow on you, because her character growth is rather slow
Not sure what exactly was going on by ch 4 but she was literally emotionally and physically abused by her father and others all her life - told that she was worthless and beaten possibly within an inch of her life on multiple occasions
She's a very scarred individual and that fear of violence is carried into her marriage. She's being removed from the violent situation but doesn't know it yet and believes that she's just entering a new, more dangerous situation because her husband is much bigger and stronger than her father and being attacked by him could easily end her life (this is all just off the top of my head so I might be misremembering a few details)
Spoiler!!
Are you seriously judging a character by only 4 chapters, well here’s a spoiler for you! This story was based on a novel of 2 books with more than 500 chapters, just so you know the manhwa ALMOST reached only the half of the first book!
And yes she’ll change! This wimpy girl who needs her husband to breath will change to a strong women who want to protect him!! Wait and see! You need patience tho, it sure is slow ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Man so quick to judge . If I wasn't patient I wouldn't have bothered to ask if she changes or not and just wouldve dropped this manhwa given how annoying maxi is at the beginning , honestly maxi is still very annoying, there's no healthy communication between ml and fl. And riftan has zero personality. Well the only thing we can do now is wait for a good change in their personality
Just based on your initial perception and critique of this story, I'm not sure if this is one you'll enjoy. I don't think it has to do with patients (tho you do need a lot of that for this story) as much as it has to do with tolerance for these kinds of characters. Maxi has been abused and doesn't open up about it (as far as we've seen) and Riftan is stoic and not big on communicating his thoughts or feelings and is overprotective in a way that can come off as uncaring. They get better over time but even 83 chapters in, good communication lines are not established even though they are more comfortable and trust each other. They haven't lived in a world where talking about these things is expected or normalized and there's a lot of misogyny and patriarchy built into their life experiences and subsequently their relationship.
Personally, I've found this story really interesting and Maxi's character to be both endearing and heart wrenching (Riftan still frustrates me though) from the very beginning. It's possible that it'll grow on you but it's also very possible that it's just not your cup of tea, which is okay :>
True! Neither of them were raised in healthy environment, both of them are still learning, maybe because it’s a slow development you don’t see it! I don’t now if they will show Riftan POV in the manhwa but if you see it you might understand him a little! Frustrating as it is there won’t be any healthy communication in the near future ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
What I’m saying is that things will change but in a very slow pace!
Under the oak tree novel!
The 1st book you can read it online for free! I think the POV of Riftan also is for free!
Or you could buy it!
The 2nd book (translated) it’s not available yet, I think something had to do with the Author!
I really recommend to read the POV, it explains so much and you’ll understand why Riftan act this way specially with Maxi!(≧∀≦)
Okay so how old is Tia ? Her first life was as a Korean then her second life as Lombardi then she travelled back in time so how many years is that ? How old is she ?
Nope, actually she did travel back in time. Her mother is the one who can see the future. She saw the future so far that she saw Tia's second chance in life. (Spoiler alert)
That's why she planted the red flower that cured Gallahad incurable disease in the royal garden, thou it's not used to save him in the OG timeline it did save him in the current timeline. Tia's maternal grandmother also warned Tia that since she's only half-blood (Tia's mom Southener's blood is the one with magic power) She can only turn back time once and that the current timeline is the only chance she had left to obtain everything that she desire.
UGHHHHH
Dude I'm nearing the end of the first book and i just want to smack riftan. They still don't have any healthy communication but maxi has improved A LOT , I seriously like her now but when it comes to riftan maxi goes back to being the whimpering damsel in distress . Also riftan's behaviour towards maxi is so disgustingly bad, after every argument or fall out they make up by having sex rather than actually vocalise their issues.
