Also yes, I understand that she has trauma and that a good support system is necessary to help overcome it but so is personal work, choices, and labor. She is just following everything they tell her to do in unpleasant, new, and even pressing situations which I think is a complete crutch since that's happening always.
Ah, it's a bit hard to explain about some of your highlighted point without going to the spoiler territory .
But yep.This Maybelle has 0 initiative, and Rykell and co.'s plan is to pamper her lol. It will change little by little after she got her magic staff & decides what she wants.
- Maybelle's first magic actually activated far before this golem fiasco. There is a reason why Rykell pointed magic swords to Maybelle in their 1st meet. It will be exploited in the next season because it connected to Rykell's chain.
- About Maybelle's magic : she belongs to the "true mages" type like her parents. Their "wish and determination" is the deciding factor of their magic (not the magic formula like ordinary mage). It will be explained bit by bit later .
- The main problem for me is the narration. I'm not sure if there is a gap between the adaptation but Maybelle is more perceptive in the novel, but her fear still overcomes her in 1st season (MTL-ing manhwa done, and I also MTL the novel 2nd season, and the 3rd season I got spoilers from a forum).
- I agree with you about that overplayed trope XD. Even Rykell knows that its stupid and will apologize to Maybelle.
And this title 100% need patience to read.
the flow of the story is like this :
- 1st season is something like an introduction (so many missing parts, and Maybelle is pretty much protected by everyone. Maybelle 10 years old)
- 2nd season is where Maybelle works hard in magic & making friends (still pampered by Rykell, tho) (The missing part will be filled partially, the main conflict arose because Rykell finally declare a grand scale rebellion. Maybelle 11 years old)
- 3rd season is Maybelle's true debut as an archmage in training, Rykell finally allows her to do missions without him (but she also has partners like Aslan, Abel, and Bellerophon) (Rykell and his family lives as fugitive and Maybelle trains harder to help in the 2nd war. Maybelle 14 y.o and older).
The novel still ongoing...
You must not read any manuhas like this one.I’ve seen a lot and I mean a lot of manuha’s that are just like this one, we’re the MC dies and has to survive as a killers daughter or some shit.In this case she wasn’t reborn,a lot of manuhas are like this.Once you read so many manuhas like this one you get used to seeing, overprotective dads, overprotective “bodyguard”.Like honestly everything is so..Idk the right word, but like it’s so easy to read.Or you just know what’s going to happen.It’s obvious the dads finna be protective, the bodyguard is going to be overprotective.So honestly it’s nothing new at this point. :/ And honestly I find it cute (=・ω・=)
YES XD
almost all of the "dad-daughter" manhwa & manhua following the tropes.
fortunately, Rykell and Maybelle's support system is sane enough so Rykell won't be as extreme as the other dads (Rykell raises Maybelle following his wife's wish, meaning that he accepts that Maybelle will leave the house and continue her life, venturing the unknown world. he is not happy about that, tho.. so he tries to monopolize Maybelle before the dreaded day XD)
The best scene where Rykell's "overprotective side" battling with the "wise father side" is when he let Maybelle do her first errand as the Archmage's daughter. Both he and Khan freaked out when Maybelle choose to walk for 2 days rather than riding the drake (only several hours) to the village. the rest of the adventure in that arc is funny XD.
I made a really similar thread on another manhwa comment section recently but it's SUCH an overplayed trope and pretty annoying. Like .. Rykell, you don't need to nearly murder anyone for the slightest thing. And also really? All the bs about limiting her time with boys her age because you get all weird about them possibly liking her? And the fact that she had literally everyone helping her out and by her side all the time? Can't she learn how to do shit on her own without someone whispering in her ear and telling her what to do? I get that she's young but she needs to learn to be a little more self sufficient. Also it's kinda low-key a dies ex machina for her to suddenly unlock magic during the race.
