no. but i love that someone must’ve did it in some anime/manga a long time ago and everyone just ran with it.

It can technically happen, but only if someone already gets nosebleeds easily. It’s never like in anime/manga where it just explodes everywhere , that part’s totally exaggerated.

I’ve seen some crazy explosive nosebleeds, and…it’s terrifying. Blood. SOOO much blood. Everywhere!

Yeah, severe nosebleeds can happen, but that’s a different situation. I was talking specifically about the arousal/anime trope.

You’re right. In fact, I’ve always assumed it was purely fictional, and a weird trope at that.

NO BECAUSE HOWWW is every body part of him still fine. realistically you'd expect at least a dislocated jaw with the amount of times he's been punched, but i suppose nothing's realistic about this

Death is the only ending for the villainess

Wow this one has a nice concept

Oh yeah i remember this. One of the first reincarnation manwha ive read

You will absolutely love it. It’s super captivating , very pretty art and perfectly spicy (▰˘◡˘▰)

it was the moment from ch 9 but pyeonhwas pov and how after he left his jacket he jerked with it lol

you've prolly seen it but Our Sunny Days is pretty fluffy (does have smut but very cute and wholesome stuff)

yesss, I love that manhwa sooo much

i have read sunny days! its so wholesome

it’s not odd at all. yes, physically she was 18 (mind you, 18 not even considered being a grown woman that’s literally a teen who’s barely even a damn adult lol) but she literally is mentally a child. the count adopted her when she was seven & from there she never got any proper education or even communicated with children her age. she experienced neglect & abuse. she was never 18 mentally which makes sense on how when time reversed she still acted like a kid. also, this is ignorant to say cause there are actual children & adults who experienced similar abuse like fl. i can’t think of their name now, but in my psych class i learned about how a mother fully neglected her child & never gave them the basic needs they needed so when they grew older they mentally were a child even though they were an adult. so, minus the time reversing, things like this can & have happened. this is one of the cases where it’s completely understandable that fl is with a ml who’s “younger” than her which in actuality he’s not & time just reversed.

I agree with this, being 18 doesn't mean you're a grown-up

I understand people going through abuse and stunting mental growth but still doesn’t excuse the fact that she’s falling in love with an actual kid. In this circumstance it’s normal because she didn’t grow up right because of abuse but that still doesn’t excuse the fact that she’s falling in love with an actual kid. Would you still use this point if the girl was an old man that has been abuse till he reached the age of 30 and having the mental capacity of a child then falling in love with a young 9year old girl? What happens when the man gets rejected because of how uncomfortable the child would be about someone physically older than her falling in love with her ?… because they have the mentality of a child and the body of a grown man we don’t know their reaction when their feelings are not reciprocated. When it comes to the life of actual children it’s not the time to bring in dark/ abnormal psychology.

Being 18 doesn’t mean you’re grown up but doesn’t mean you can be falling in love with 9 year olds

as someone who’s on their way to get their PhD my head hurts reading this comment. first of all, not to be rude but i don’t think you understand how our brains work when it comes to being a kid especially at her age. she was a child and imprisoned in a shed with ZERO human contact other than her adopted father & sister & that will instantly stunt any child’s growth right then & there. they stop growing mentally. it is crucial for kids her age to meet other people & to learn basic skills because if not, they’ll never be able to be on the same mental capacity as people their age. now, if she was older & 30 & a guy & was put in the same situation, yes i would still use my point cause by that time her mental capacity would be that of a child. there’s a certain time limit for children to learn basic skills before it gets too late. this is why child neglect is a serious issue because there is a real case (i forgot her name) of a woman when she was a child of being neglected & she is physically an adult but her mind is that of a child because her parents neglected to give her the attention & basic needs to grow. she did get help & was making progress but the years of neglect left such a lasting impact that she couldn’t grow mentally & is basically a child still even though physically she is an adult. now, putting this with our female lead that means that she is a kid. it don’t matter how old she died, she is still mentally a child. the outer appearance rarely matters when they cannot communicate mentally & emotionally with others in their own age bracket. it’s why that when she died & time reversed she still behaved & even had such childlike thoughts. she never got the chance to grow up until she had a second chance at life. not every kid/adult who grew up neglected & are suffering from it has the luxury she does. i get why you’re so off by it but it goes to show that a lot of people who read these type of plots don’t understand the psychological damage that these characters go through.

Yeah you’re not the only one with a psychology degree

Yeah you’re not the only one with a psychology degree

. I’ll say it again just because someone is mentally unstable because of abuse does not necessarily mean it’s acceptable for them to fall in love with a child. Cognitive functioning is not the only thing we need to be looking at here, there’s a physical and biological difference you are neglecting that makes your point surface level. You’re only looking at one aspect of things which is that they were abused thus stunting their growth but I’m telling you it’s not the only thing at play here. Also you don’t seem to understand paradox - it’s normal for a person who experienced abuse to fall in love with a child but that doesn’t mean it’s an “okay ” thing. Abuse is a non normative event that plays a huge role on a persons emotional and mental development . People who experience abuse should not be looking for solace or peace in a relationship yet alone a relationship with a KID ( even if they’re mentally a kid ). They should go to therapy and rehabilitate themselves first and foremost then find someone who’s GROWN and willing to help them grow from there. Mind you a kid cannot consent to all this because that girl is still 18 at the end of the day. Also this whole mentally a kid thing doesn’t make sense bechause what phase of cognitive/ affectionate and social phase are you referring to ? Maybe determine that before trying to make arguments that make no sense. The development of a kid has many levels - physical , affectionate/ social and cognitive. Someone physically and biologically 18 but mentally 9 being in a relationship with someone physically, biologically and mentally 9 is not something you should be defending here and the fact that abuse is in it makes it even worse. Go read your psychology notes first and analyze the emotional , mental and cognitive state of the character first.

Also the ml is a kid and children cannot handle people who have been abused. This story is highly glamourizing the situation. A relationship like this can be highly abusive on both sides and shouldn’t be defended in real life.

whatever let’s just agree to disagree can’t believe my drunk ass was arguing with someone over a fictional story

YES EXACTLYYYY!! I actually think the black haired boy (the long curly hair one not Diego) and the red hair one are more attractive. Lowkey all the boys are more attractive, I just don’t like the blonde, blue eyes, and EXTREMELY pale look. Glad too know someone has the same opinion as me and there’s like no plot at all

Really I find him very good looking. I like both versions of him.

right! i fear the storyline is slowly becoming repetitive and long or maybe the author wants to put more emphasis on the romance aspect but i feel you could that while also incorporating the pink and red hair inro the storyline. I might just drop it

Aw damn cause i feel the complete opposite

If you truly love Isidore, you'll love him no matter in what form hehe I agree I love both

I have bad news for you

Let me tell you - YES

Why would he kiss his brother??? HUH

this question will be answered in S2, but we can tell that the step-bro ain't a good guy. still, ML is a weirdo too for doing this erm.

We don't know the reason yet. But looks like this step bro had hots for seo in . But seo in had hots for MC.
So my guess is step bro initiated the kiss on his own , caught seo in off guard (?) or might have said something along the lines like 'i have someone I like, want to practice kissing' or some other bullshit.
This is just my conjecture , I'm also not a regular reader so I could be wrong.

I see, ty both (￣∇￣")

Do you remember which chapter shows he kissing his own bro?

tysm omg this helped so much

For real. It’s getting annoying.

Hello, I've read to a certain spot in the novel. Would like a spoiler explanation? Or do you want to wait for, perhaps, 20-30 chapters? It's kind of difficult to gauge what they will keep vs what they will pass on for the sake of time and then how both the comic and the novel line up.

i don't mind a spoiler. might drop it from the way the storyline is heading

Okay, spoiler time...


Turn back now if you don't want to be spoiled....



Okay, that might be enough. So, let's rewind.
Riftan was born a serf and his step-dad worked really hard and used his connections to let Riftan become a blacksmith apprentice (let's estimate he's 8-10.) This allowed him into the castle grounds, where occasionally he would see Max playing alone with her dog. There are two interactions where they see each other and exchange a horseshoe for a flower crown by placing them where the other would see it but they don't talk to each other. Their third interaction is when a monster comes into the grounds and attacks Max. Her dog dies and she kicks the monster for taking away her only friend, to which it scratches her. Riftan saves her and takes her up to the main castle so she can be treated and he is rewarded with a pouch of silver.
We still don't know who Riftan's dad is but someone who knew his father came by and gave him a dagger that didn't belong to serfs like them. His mom thinks he's dead and hangs herself. This means she can't have a proper funeral so in the night, his step-dad has him carry her corpse on his back into the woods and they use farming tools to make it look like she was mauled by animals instead, thus letting her have a normal burial and not damning their entire household. Riftan decides to leave and sneaks onto a caravan.
Fast forward and Riftan is 16 when he meets Ruth for the first time. They're mercinaries and since he has nothing to live for, Riftan is a throw caution to the wind, crazy kamikaze soldier. He and Ruth end up being the only ones alive when they end up facing a dragon. Riftan gets injured and to take his mind off the pain, Ruth tells him to think of his happiest memories and he can amplify those feelings as he heals him to take him away from the pain. The only good memory he has is of Max. And because it felt so nice, he would occasionally ask Ruth to do it again. It starts to become like an addiction and Ruth tells him he can't keep doing it because it will drive him mad, not knowing the same memory has been replaying each time. Thus, Ruth technically brainwashed Riftan into seeing Max as this perfect person and he will have a much harder time separating himself from this idea.
Circling back to his mom: because of what he and his step-dad had to do (he only carried her and step-dad sent him away a bit to do the mauling,) every time a woman touches him, it reminds him of her corpse on his back. So thanks to the brainwashing, Max ends up being the only woman who doesn't do this to him. Because he killed the dragon, he is rewarded by the king (emperor?) with his lands and he returns to his home. He asks Max's father for her hand and of course, he says he will never be good enough and makes fun of him. He doesn't get to talk to her or even make eye contact because, of course, she's still being beaten and can't look at anyone. He thinks she feels the same way. While he is there, he finds the new son of his step-dad, has him set up a private meeting, and gives his step-dad some money he earned.
Well well, a war/another dragon to defeat (I am fuzzy at the moment but this is when he travels with the princess) comes up and Max's dad doesn't want to participate. He has to go or send his "son" to go in his stead. Suddenly, Riftan is good enough for his daughter but because he is a despicable b*stard and doesn't believe for a second his daughter can keep a man like him, he threatens him to marry his daughter by imprisoning his step-dad for having money from seemingly nowhere. His new son had to run to Riftan and he went to the castle. Worried about his past of being a serf coming out second only to his step-dad being unjustly imprisoned, he agrees to being married. Of course, everyone tells Max the first time hurts and a man like him could beat her to death if she didn't satisfy him so she's scared out of her mind when they do the obligatory consummation the day before he leaves to fight. Then, her dad beats her like Riftan was supposed to make her six months pregnant overnight or some crap and continues to beat her the entire time he's gone.

And to go past where we are now in the timeline, yes, Max has a miscarry when she goes to try and help Riftan defeat some monsters down the line...after being buried in an avalanche and healing herself so she doesn't die. She didn't know she was pregnant so it was early and it goes all around the nobility like she's a useless woman because she can't keep a baby. Riftan felt that maybe she wanted to be home for a bit after the incident so he sends her home. Obviously, she takes that as she has failed him as his wife and he's returning her, which is also how her father interprets it. Later, when Riftan comes back to get her, they have to break into the castle and he and his knights (including the one that has been giving her a hard time) see her chained up and being whipped across the back by her father. Riftan beats him close to an inch of his life and he's healed but I think I remember them saying he ends up having a permanent stutter (could be making up that last bit because it sounds like poetic justice.) All the knights who witnessed this all become very protective of Max as well.
Of course, his blue blood being spilled "without reason" his terms for Riftan to be punished. Since Max's stepsister, married to the king (emperor?), was psychologically abused by their father, she has no hard feelings for what happened to him but can't intervene. The punishment would have been severe but Max offers to go to the wizard's tower for three years in his place. Riftan is stubborn to the end, saying he won't wait for her if she goes (he does though, for the same reasons explained earlier.) She gets to come out of her shell more and make friends at the tower. She specializes in earth and water magic, which gives her the affectionate nickname of Mud. She also does something forbidden but can hide it so no one else knows or she can never leave the tower.
I actually haven't read up to where Riftan beats the living hell out of her father so that and everything following is spoiled from someone else. Because like you, I felt this story was getting to be a slog at times. I find it more tolerable knowing WHY Riftan isn't able to let Max do anything but be a well-kept woman. It was also good to know that he does find out what her father did to her and that the knights now understand why she never came to the territory while he was away. The fact that it's taking forever is both a strong and weak point. The slow burn is building other plot points around to pay off in the long run. I would occasionally give this a glance to see where it's at, look at the pretty art, and lie in wait for the good bits.

wow that is a lot to unpack (￣∇￣")

I mean she has blonde hair and blue eyes and her name is charlotte, are we surprised ??

I... I feel a little offensed here.... Is it an expression that i don't know or is it just really misogynistic and discriminating?

It's not misogynistic and discriminatory if it's true, you are acting like throughout history and the present, white women haven't used their tears to antagonize and villanize people, people literally made a meme out of women like that, so pipe down

Facts loool

Literally my first thought when she said that

Wow... So you really were misogynistic and discriminatory, it was not because i had a lack of culture. I didn't know Olympe de Gouge and Marie Curie was villanous and known for their "tears to antagonize" though....
No but really, are you dumb? You defined her bitchness by her skin color and a gender? Don't you see a problem?

First of pretty sure OP was most likely joking and so was I but since you want to be dumbass and accuse me shit after i explained my reasoning.
Second of all, it is very obvious that you are white seeing as how you keep deflecting and trying to make me seem like the bad guy for saying something true, you accuse another girl of misogyny to make you better because most likely if you and I were in a room together not only might you be racist to be but also misogynistic. Why are you feeling so attacked and hurt? Why are you acting like the only why white women created feminism was just so they could have just as much power as white men so they could be just as sick and disgusting to BIPOC. White women are also oppressed, yes but in a world where your race comes first you need shut the fuck up and keep it pushing

I feel attacked because you were discriminatory, that's why. How could i be racist and misogynistic if i feel offensed that you defined a default of a character by it's gender and skin color? Yeah, women created feminism to have as much as power as men, that's the point of feminism. But were did i say that i was offensed because you criticized her for being white?
You were joking? How funny! Is it funny to mock someone for their skin color? I didn't know, and i don't think so but ok.
If you and I were in a room, i think you wouldn't have said something like that because you would have know that it was wrong, but internet gives the right of the hate hé....
I would not shut up, obviously fighting the racism is more important that this king of discriminatory, but i don't think we have to accept something wrong because worse exist, with this kind of thinking, we accept progressivly too much things.
So yeah, i will continue to say that this was misogynistic, because it was, AND discriminatory because it was too.

Talking to you is obviously pointless and yes if were in real I would have said that, I have said it multiple times even, you are saying that I'm being discriminatory and judging an entire race based on their skin color but you are acting like this something that is not typical, white women tears have been used to hurt a lot of people and I stand by what OP and me say, white women are one of the most racist and hypocritical groups of people there is, if you are racist and hypocritical don't know why you are so mad

Girl shut up you're white and I think that explains a lot. Don't come at me about some "discrimination " bs when your people have been doing it for years and STILL ARE !! You guys used to eat our fucking organs what do you not understand ?!!! THERE'S nothing and I mean NOTHING wrong with what I said. What I said in my comment is exactly what you're doing right now . I can't go back to my fucking country because of the shit y'all caused stop tryna play victim . Y'all real good at gaslighting poc its crazy!!! I was discriminating you?? PLEASE SIT THE FUCK DOWN and think about your people's history cuz it's crazy what your saying right now

Y'all white people tryna play victim too crazy for me, I'm done of being the older person my race is done with being the older person . Why can't y'all just stop killing us and leave us the fuck alone!! We have every right on this earth to hate y'all after the shit y'all caused and still doing!

Shut fuck up , Drink water and stay out black people's business

I have never seen a more dense person like them before, she was just out here spewing shit saying we are discriminating against her like they are doing that to us now
