Ya know what the most unrealistic thing about this story is? The fact that they haven't done the deed yet. I mean seriously. Have you even tried to be right next to the person you are in love with and then NOT want to do things with them? This is a married couple who have memories of being married and sleeping together before, who have confessed their love. It's just not understandable that they do not share a bed and be intimate like that.
Especially since they did it in their previous life and they both remember it, I could maybe understand if only one side remembered or their feelings were not mutual but that is not the case here.
Riften has always seemed to walk the line of abusive behavior, but this chapter I feel like he has fully crossed that threshold. I'm sorry, this is more than bad communication, that is emotional abuse right now. I'm not sure how our Lady hasn't broken down into hysterics at this point. If my husband ever treated me like that I would start sobbing and refuse to let him touch me.
Yes, I would have done the same. Like I know you're no home often so you don't have emotional sense but are you also blind? Can't you see that she is scared of almost every living thing and object ever?? Can't you see something is wrong with her? And she finally does something so out of her comfort zone to protect the land he cherished, all stuttering and confused. She was so brave and this is all she got. Someone atleast give him a 101 on "how to read a room"
True dat! I was hoping he would come home and be just as proud of her as we all were. She stepped up and acted like the lady of the house as she should have and grew as a person. Instead of supporting her he tore her down. Oh, perhaps he's secretly my mother then.... hmmm...
Same, I was hoping the he would praise her as soon as he came home. For his defense, I do understand that he couldn't have done so in a situation like that. Seeing how maxi wanted him to appreciate her work even when she was terrified shows how much all of this meant to her. I had an abusive past, but not to the point of stuttering . It's easier to bring yourself up from an already good disposition. It's harder to do that when you fall deep within spiral of lost self esteem.
I can't even imagine to full extent of how she felt when 'Lord' of some neighbouring country berated her infront of her subjects, she could've gone into hiding after that incident but she continued louder than before, still stuttering. Ruth my man as always didn't disappoint. But Riftan.......HAD to ruin it. He better step his game up, I don't want to see her crying again because of him.
P.S - About your mom, I can't understand a joke, sorry for being unfunny. If that really happened ,I hope you came out a stronger person. Stay Positive and safe(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Sounds like we're on the same page! Honestly, if he doesn't grow as a person and this is one of those "he does no wrong while she grows into what he wants her to be" I'm dropping it. Not going to support that. There's got to be balance. Some women are strong and can fight. Some women are not like that, and that's ok too. You do you boo. Maxi is the kind of girl who likes being a homemaker over a warrior and that is fine. The fact that Riften loves her for that is fine too. But when she decides to become stronger for her subjects, for her husband, but most of all for herself. Man you help that women! Not stop her because she isn't fitting into your person idealism.
It was ment to be a joke with some slight seriousness to it. My mother has good intentions, she's just not good at being the "build you up" type. Her "good jobs" are always followed by a "but here's how you could have done better". Or she only sees what you did wrong and has a hard time saying what you did right. She has a hard time understanding me because we are so different and she gets flustered that I don't do things the way she does. So when she would have quietly ignored someone bulling her and been very upset and feeling like she was hopeless in defending herself, I'll call the person out and not put up with it. There is no reason to treat me like that and I don't have to out up with it. Instead of being told good job for having the courage to defend myself, I get told I shouldn't have been do rude and delt with it nicer. Seems very like how Riften responded to Maxi.
I love the story and plot progression but the romance is WAY to slow for me
I read this less for romance and more for the plot, the romance is just an added bonus lol
There was only one thing in my mind that could have saved this story enough for me to say it wasn't a complete waist of time.
In a world where men do not love women, this boy put his pride aside and admits he loves her, with no past life memories to change him. He works so very hard to become stronger to save her. He knows it is dangerous and he could die. What kind of man puts his life in danger for a women? He would. Because she's worth it. If he calls out to her, doesn't give up, and confesses his love and she becomes free of the brainwashing, I was going to accept that this wasn't a waist of time and all the badly done shit for character development wasn't for nothing.
And in 2 seconds flat it was all pointless-_-
Not the best story out there, but it's entertaining enough. The ML peeves me quite a bit though, but we're I thought I wasn't going to like the FL I actually like her a lot. Often times the girl from the modern world acts rather superior to those aroud her because she has advanced knowledge, but this girl is rather humble. It's refreshing. The art style is not a type I typically care for, but it has It's charm to it so I don't mind it as much. Lastly, it's nice to see a story of the modern woman in a fantasy or Midieval type world without some sort of weird incarnation going on.
