Heevo's Topics (1639)

Well, if you see the author note, i think they regret it the season 3 story, because they draw a shabby car in author note

Looking back to the beginning of the story, I'm more so confused that this was set up as a "I became the villainess in a novel I read" initially. Like where the fuck did that go?

Exactly. It's really confusing but I guess that's all we gonna get.

Yes leave riftan with his wife and be with me (specially the black haired hottie)

Lmao @ super hot hoes

That amount of hotness never been there for extras I was shocked.... like how you doin??

He's letting no room for her to progress, evolve freely and discover who she's supposed to be ergo he's a bad partner. (￣へ￣）

Lol Trashta love it (⌒▽⌒) I need to borrow that

You're new here and its okay but people have been calling her trashta since this manhwa came out Heevo didn't invent it.

Rashta is trashta and sovieshu is sovieshit/stupidshoe

Oh I didn't think they did, just the first time I saw it ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I just started, taking a break at ch 5 cause I'm getting frustrated (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Also lol Sovieshit huhuhu
Ty for the info love adding more trash talk into my lexicon (▰˘◡˘▰)

I desperately want her to stood her ground fight for her ambitions

To be fair tho; he's pretty much in the right considering how incredibly naive and weak she really is.
I really hope they figure out a way to built her up TOGETHER and ensure neither of them has to worry or give up on anything.

Except he’s not because any effort she makes to getting stronger he tries to pull her away from. Rieran was against her learning magic from the beginning which made it so Ruth was more hesitant with his teachings, making it so Maxi learns less efficiently unlike if she had his full support in it.

It’s actually pretty clear that Riftan has this unrealistic fantasy of always being her undisputed protector, even when he knows he can’t always be by her side and danger is in every corner of Anatol.

He infantilizes her because of her weakness, and yet stops her from taking steps to learn how to defend herself and her people even when he knows that he needs help with Anatol as well (although he won’t admit it).

Maximillian isn’t naive, this chapter actually showed how sharp she really is politically by pointing out that the princess is keeping an eye on them. It’s just because she’s always believed as weak that they don’t let her grow her confidence.

Rieran will have to give up his controlling behavior if he ever hopes to have a lasting healthy relationship with Maximillian, and he will have to learn how to take her seriously. Same with Ruth.

His actions stem from severe overprotectiveness more often than not. Trying to protect someone that could factual get hurt or worse and constantly faints, has no knowledge about the dangers of things in this kinda setting is VERY normal.
Using magic for example has stark consequences as we've seen. It could very well be that he knows her being frail and those consequences as well as her naivety can be a bad mix. We also do not yet know all reasons he was THAT against her learning, there was a reason behind it. It wasn't just him trying to cage her like a bird, mind you.

Being in love does that to people tho. It's not a fantasy trope. XD
And his actions are realistic. Given this is a medieval setting with magic, monsters and many enemies around, she is factually much safer being inside the fief than elsewhere. He does not have enough man to leave a huge group of powerful soldiers to guard her after all.

It has nothing to do with infantilizing her, he's being overprotective. That is a VERY big difference. He doesn't treat her this way because he doesn't take her for full, he knows she's weak, hence why he's worried and tries to overdo his protectiveness.
It's similar but NOT the same.
If he needed someone to help, teaching her would be the least effective method with it all. Her magic seems to be very low level, she is not a prodigy like other fantasy stories go with. So hiring a rando from the streets would factually be more useful in protecting his lands than teaching her magic full throttle. Sad as it is.

She is VERY naive btw, only this one time she wasn't. That doesn't make everything else disappear. She over does it constantly and she is very misinformed about everything because she is fearful of telling him the truth about her upbringing. This is a constant factor in the story; her making mistakes and miscommunicating.

There are many factors yet to be revealed, but it's been made clear with his anger many times that there are reasons behind his behavior and trying to protect her so desperately.
Again, there's a difference between being overprotective of someone that is factually weak and infantilizing:

infantilizing
treat (someone) as a child or in a way which denies their maturity in age or experience.

He never treats her like a child and she does NOT HAVE experience nor maturity (else she would open her mouth and talk about it since she now knows he loves her).
Both lack maturity in different ways, but infantilizing is not the reason behind Riftan's actions based on the writing in both the novel and the comic.
