I rarely comment, if ever but by God has this manhwa boiled my blood to the point of steaming it outside of my body through my pores.
Maxi's character was fine, I understand the whole "damsel doesn't know shit and is mistreated" and she has some good development when you look a little bit deeper. She can open up, her stutter is a tad better and she is more outgoing, she can speak up for herself... AND THAT SHIT GOES ALL DOWN WHEN RIFTAN APPEARS AND IS LIKE "You will stay in the chambers because i said so". HE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THE MC IF ANYTHING THE MAGE, RUTH, FEELS LIKE THE MC. I'D EVEN PREFER AGNES THE PRINCESS OVER HIM.
I DO NOT ENJOY RIFTAN'S CHARACTER AT ALL. I DO NOT CARE THAT HE HAS THE IMPRESSION THAT SHE HAS ONLY BEEN INSIDE HER WHOLE LIFE, HE IS ACTIVELY ENDANGERING HER BY NOT SHOWING HER THE REAL WORLD AND ITS PROBLEMS. MAXI IS COMPLETELY RIGHT, HE WANTS HER TO BE A PET, TO JUST SIT IN THE CHAMBERS WITH OPEN ARMS AND LEGS.
FOR GOD'S SAKE SHE'S A FULLY GROWN WOMAN, HE "Forbids" HER FROM LEARNING MAGIC... DOES THAT NOT MEAN HE SEES HER AS A PROPERTY AND NOT AS AN EQUAL. SHE IS WEAK YES BUT HE DOESN'T LET HER BECOME STRONG.
IF THIS SHIT KEEPS GOING MAXI WILL BE A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS THE WHOLE FUCKING MANHWA.
