I’ve been waiting for updates of this since I was a freshman of high school. I’m a graduate in my 20s now :,)
Sameeeeeeee
Samee :'(
Bummer that the story wasn’t as good as I thought. I would’ve wished the story’s pacing wasn’t so fast and it slowly built up in their relationship. They didn’t go into detail about his parents or his trauma. Trusting someone takes years after building up walls for so long meanwhile it only took him one sex session to cure him. Also it was never said about the ML’s family either..? Imma assume they were killed? Also the fact that the Spanels were freed so easily is so anticlimactic??
If you want a story about a master and his servant, read Royal Servant. The pacing is pretty good and the story line between the two characters is sorta similar. The master has a hard time trusting servants because a servant killed his parents. And it actually goes in depth with the trauma the master has. (The art style is rough at the beginning but later it becomes so pretty) This story pulled my heart strings!
I can seriously relate to this girl. When you are constantly being compared to and ridiculed, it makes you constantly question your self worth. Do not say she is annoying and “weak” when her trauma is so brain damaging. She was constantly abused by the servants and her father and they constantly lowered her self esteem. From personal experience, the voices from those people nag at you at every step you make. She also has abandonment issues and that’s why she is afraid of what she could say to her husband. She will develop with time. I feel like this story does well at mental health recovery and how it doesn’t just take a new husband to completely get rid of her demons right away.
The novel did it the best but the anime did a fantastic job at making the last chapter really sad. The manga made it really anticlimactic :,( shame
I believe that it is the bad translations that make this story a mess right now. The fact that it wasn’t confusing before proves this story’s potential!
I literally love dongshick. He’s sexy and a very respectful and a gentlemen. Authors need to take notes because douche semes ain’t it
Maxi: was insulted and treated like shit all her life = questioning of her own self worth and lack of confidence. Which results in insecurity with literally everything.
You know what that means? It cannot be magically healed by a man having sex with her like a lot of stories seem to have logic on that. I have went through the same thing as her so I can tell you that it takes YEARS to gain confidence
Now on to our boy Riftan: the way he was raised was the sword, killing, justice, cold, authority etc. You can tell that he has a hard time toward subjects that revolve around coddling and gentleness. While he loves his wife dearly, he acknowledges that it is a flaw that he cannot be 100% gentle and open to his wife because that is something he can’t really do right away. It takes a long time to change your way of thinking that you’ve known since birth.
The verdict: Maxi’s insecurity and Riftan’s temper is something they have to fix together as husband and wife. They are the polar opposites of each other and they are aware of that. Riftan would never hurt his wife and Maxi’s personality cannot simply be fixed easily either.
This story is very realistic in terms of flaws within a person. Once Maxi learns her self worth and Riftan being a lot more soft, they can grow like that oak tree in the garden. And I believe that could be why it is in the story title.
I love you so much
