The novel is moving really fast where the author is trying really hard to quickly turn Max into a "strong fl" with very short arcs of "character development." To me, it feels really unbelievable and makes Max's character/values a bit blurry. Like, I think the author is trying to show character development, but instead, it just feels like they're showing Max acting out of character?
Also, Ruth is definitely not being portrayed in the novel as a secondary ML, yet Max spends a ton of time with him? Ruth is becoming sort of like a rough-mouthed fairy godmother who is helping to develop Max's character but like, it feels weird for Max to be 'developing' as a character in the absence of Riftan through a "fairy-godmother" character when Riftan exists? Especially when Riftan and Max's relationship/backstory is so unclear at the moment.
The plot still makes sense but like, the characters seem kinda 2d because their motivations aren't clear or are quickly changing from how they were originally portrayed...Like, Max doesn't feel like a character who has developed as much as she feels like a character who was swapped out with a different one and given the same name?
Anyway, I really hope this get picked up by an official translation site if this get's dropped because I feel like, often times, the webtoon kinda smooths out any rushed story telling in the novel...
