I wonder if the author is doing this because #Growth? If Maxi is revealed to have been abused too early, she might be coddled, but having it happen after she gains some confidence and experience will make the moment oh-so-sweeter. (▰˘◡˘▰)
true that would be really nice but i dont rlly see maxi growing in the novel. shes for sure getting more used to her surroundings and becoming more comfortable but shes not becoming braver or stronger.
agh i hope she goes through some shocking revelation and ups her self confidence soon thoo
I can only hope the author is playing the long game with her development. Like, realistically, people don't suddenly get confident or over trauma. So, maybe all the slow build is meant to be more realistic and give her a firmer ground to stand on.
SPOILER but not rlly
so i read a bit of the novel and basically maxi doesn't knwo how to do anything becuase she wasn't educated and so she faces a lot of difficulties. she ends up getting back on the right track and stuff as the magician dude helps her out a lot. the only thing thats bothering me is that i read like 90 chapters of the web novel but riftan still doesn't know that she was abused. it would clear up so many misunderstandings if he knew how she was treated in her home and i just rlly wish riftan would rip apart her father but its rlly dragging on
