omg I know that a lot of people already commented wanting to be the crown prince's step mom after the abs chapter, but hot damn! This chapter really made me think that I wouldn't be against it either lmao.
So... I read the first chapter and I'm like: why argue with a crazy woman just because you missed your train. Yeah, you'll be late but come one. Tsk tsk tsk
I mean the crazy lady was the reason she missed her train ofc she can get mad and ofc its plot
I mean, the old lady argued with her first so it's normal that she'll argue back
I guess it's a question of personality. I wouldn't have argued with her. One, I'm patient and I don't mind waiting for the next train too much. I'd get annoyed if it's when I'm going to work, but even then I'd only be annoyed for a bit. Second, I wouldn't argue with a crazy woman, because... what's the point? That's just waisting your breath and instead of letting out some steam, it'll only make you angrier, because it's obvious how unreasonable the crazy lady was. I would've gotten away from her. Third, here where I live, you gotta get away from the crazies. You never know what they might do. And sure enough lol
She's so freaking adorable. So cute. Daddy is also soooo cute. I'm actually very surprised how this story went for a handsome but cute daddy instead of the typical handsome and intimidating one. And Perez is also so freaking adorable aghhhh
I love the ML, but the FL is a bit...I understand she's like this because she lived her entire life being told she was useless and I do appreciate her trying her best, but bruh... When she didn't understand how money worked and instead of asking she just decided to wing it really tested my patience. And she should at least have a bit more faith in her husband. He already rejected a princess because he believes that keeping their vows is important and he already said he was planning on living together forever. But she keeps doubting. IRL, perfect relationships will get ruined because of insecurity, because having to reassure you nonstop will tire the other out. Plus, the actions your insecurities make you take will just push other people away.
Hmmm I kinda understand why she doubts Riftan. It's cause she doesn't really know why. Riftan keeps going on about them being husband and wife and loyalty and faithfulness to the marriage duties of a married couple Yada Yada. Which kinda makes it seem like he's being forced to stay by his belief and morals, instead of actually doing it willingly. And Maxi, who's been traumatized and insecure her whole entire life, being told that she's like literally nothing and nobody would want her, would of course doubt him. Especially since they barely know each other. I would too honestly, cause how far and how much can belief and morals go? One day he might find someone that hell fall in love with to the point where those morals and beliefs will seem like a shackle he'd want to break free from.
That's human nature... a person deprived of love, affecting, knowledge, always being told they are useless and that they should have died, common sense is something they know nothing off. So yes they will doubt anything and everything...and they will always believe that what's giving to them , they don't deserve...
I so want to give you thumbs up..
If a person who had lived all their life with the brand of "useless" doesn't know a thing, they will never ask for help. They're very scared of admitting that they're useless. People around her should've taken the initiative. When the butler had seen her orders, he should've spoken to her just what Ruth did.
Fucking seriously? She has been abused her entire life! Her dad constantly beat her and then would have mages heal her so he would never get caught, she was never given proper clothing, she was probably verbally abused everyday by her family about her stutter, she was constantly told she was ugly and an embarrassment to the family etc. Riftan was not only forced to take Max's father's place is what was basically the draft for the war but the marriage to riftan was arranged, they didn't marry for love. Of course she has literally no confidence in herself or trust in others. She thinks she has no value and cannot understand why riftan cares about her at all. She thought riftan was gonna divorce her in the 1st chapter like come the fuck on! They haven't met for 3 fucking years and Max was still stuck in asshole land during that time! It will probably take her years to overcome the trauma from the abuse! But riftan constantly shows her affection and that's slowly helping her. She thought her hair was hideous but riftan said it looked like red clouds and she thinks about that when she sees her hair now. She was afraid of all the servants disrespecting and abusing her but now she's starting to see thats not the case. Of course she didnt ask for help when she couldn't figure things out with the budget. Literally nothing in her experience before coming to riftan's serf has led her to believe anything good about herself or that she'll recive kindness from anyone around her. BUT SHE IS LEARNING. She's slowly overcoming her trauma and shortcomings and it's amazing to watch! She's made enough progress that Ruth has been able to see parts of her personality come out. She's also being a pretty awesome lady of the house. She's meticulous, listens to he the advice of others like ruth and is lond to the everyone. If read a manga like this and can't understand a character like Max then you obviously have no empathy as human and simply just wanna complain about stupid stuff to just complain.
You're right. I never said I didn't understand where she was coming from or why she was like this. All I'm saying is... sometimes it's tiresome to read about someone who is constantly so negative. Which doesn't mean I'm not sympathetic or don't understand. I'm not saying she's awful. Like I said, I do appreciate her trying her best. Just saying this might not be my cup of tea. ML is so wonderful though and they can be so cute that I'm hesitant in dropping it
it's not about having faith or not having faith. if you think that the only problem here then you missed the point. it's about self worth and love yourself, that what this is about! it's not really about him then it is about her and how she feel about herself after living a horrible life with big trauma that she still live it to this day, then yeas she will react like this and it will be hard for her to fully trust anyone. that what abuse does to people! and she live it ever since she was a child!! of course she have trouble asking for help, it is a miracle she was able to even ask for it!
Hmmm yeah this story is more of learning about self-love and self-worth, and Riftan's abs and his beautiful chiseled face. The FL is quite realistically written, unlike most abused characters in manwha and Mangas, so it can be a bit much for other people
But I think this type of stories are quite satisfying when the characters finally learn their own worth and when the people around them finally realize the depth of the problem, so I think it's worth to keep reading it. Also because Riftan.
Ugh I know! You're so right. Riftan omg lol. And yes, it can be really satisfying, except, the older I get, the less patience I have for weak characters lol. I mean, I don't blame them if they have a reason to be that way. The thing is that I don't enjoy reading characters like that anymore. It's like how I normally don't like to read angsty stories. But like I said before... Riftan ugh <3 and they can be so cute when they're together...
I can't root for anyone to be the ML. The prince didn't kill her nor was he the one responsible for her death. Also, he probably loved the previous empress, so that's why he couldn't love her for taking the empress's place. But she wasn't the one who poisoned the previous empress and she was innocent. So he shouldn't have treated her the way he did. She loved him but he treated her like his biggest enemy. So I can't ship them because the damage he did to her was very serious. Besides, what's up with him making "Lucia" sit with him when she was obviously uncomfortable. She should've also flatly refused. Then there's Ren. He's absolute trash. It doesn't matter he's treating her like this because he thinks she's Veronica and he hates Veronica. In her past life, he treated her like crap even after knowing she wasn't Veronica. He's a prick to everybody. Plus, he keeps tripping her, as Veronica and as Lucia as well. She got hurt from it once. So I'm not a fan of violent trash like him. The only decent one for me is her knight, but from how little screen time he's getting, I doubt he'll be ML
i absolutely agree with you but except for the knight part, well in this whole chapters we rarely see the FL and the knight interact each other, and i can't see them end up together.
ren might be type annoying tsundere type, tho he quite gentle in his own way but i can't, the way he treat our FL. but he might be good to be a mate-revenge lmao.
then last, the crown prince... he left such a deep scar for our FL and if i was the FL i wouldn't be with him but in isekai manhwa like this, the FL would always ended up with the most powerful character such as the crown prince.
AH, I THINK I ABSOLUTELY AGREE LMAO
SPOILER!!
so..the prince, apparently he loves Elena even in the past timeline, he was being cold to Elena because he wants to protect her. He really cared about Elena's pregnancy and Ian. the reason why he acts like he hates our fl its because of spies in the palace. If he gives attention to fl, the duke will gain more power. also when he knew elena was killed, he executed veronica. Also.. i think its from the novel, but after elena's death, he talked to ian, his and elena's son, like this "Ian, Your mother. She was the most beautiful and well-bred woman in the world. So let's remember. Even though she lived as a shadow, she was a better queen than any other. Only you and I should not forget, Ian. Do you understand?"
huhu poor fl and ml
What do you mean you don't agree with the knight part? That's exactly what I said. I said I can't see him being ML because of how little interactions he has with FL
HAHAHAH ik, i dont read it carefully
I love Melissa, she's so badass! And I love the fact that she's winning the prices for both Nine and Yuri. She's such a queen!
OMG I was cracking up so hard when they said that ugly plushie was cute! I realized it was because it supposedly looks like Melissa because it was a lion, but then when they confirmed it was even more hilarious!
How will your mom's death become meaningless? You're still alive and well cared for. That's why she worked so hard. What an idiot he's being. I understand wanting to go back to his own world, but the reason he's using isn't sound
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think it's because of her reason to die cause the possibilities of her having a meaningless death would probably hurt him so much knowing how he treasures family and knowing the truth behind it , It would probably break him since before meeting Caius He was living his life for his mom sake didn't he?
Imma just say tho just in case someone will rant on me huhuhu I'm not saying That I don't want them to be together I just have a theory for the ending with them still being together
She's sooooo frigging CUTE!!!!!! AGHHHH!!! Dad is too. I wouldn't be against being her step mother. She's way too cute and dad is super handsome, cute, intelligent, loving and caring. OMG aren't these two too perfect??? <3
