I'm glad this has a happy ending

Maxi deserve so much better

can you spoil me please?? jebal

Yeah unfortunately I was just as disappointed with the ending as you! I hate how abrupt it ended, there was a lack of love at the end and I just felt "huh, where's the rest?" I wanted moore!!ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Personally I think it ended quite well given how the story focuses more on maxi’s development as her own personal self. It’s frustrating because it feels like it ended against the original intent, but if you picture the ending as what was originally planned, it actually ended pretty well for maxi and riftan. I was more disappointed about kuahil’s ending (holy knight dude) not ever getting connected to really anything else like I thought they were leading up to. IMO, maxi didn’t need to get depicted as a mother, although I think most of us wanted it more for riftan, because her story is about breaking the mold of what women were expected to do. I have a strong feeling with how much more easily accessible the WEBTOON is legally, the og author may stick some side stories here.

i gothcu
im a yapper so sorry



Basically, after this, most recent update of the comic, she stays on and ends up becoming a turning point in this set of battles. (also we we meet the main villain for the rest of the novel. He's like a northern guy from the baltonin army or something. Anyway, he's like a major loser and he instigates most of the inner political problems between the coalition army and he sucks. I think we meet him in a couple chapters from now)

She uses her magic to create a rock slide or something, and it ends up, winning them the war, but she almost dies and unbeknownst to everybody she was pregnant and ends up miscarrying. She ends up back at her dad's house (I can't remember why) and recovers there basically.

And during her recovery, she doesn't know that she had a miscarriage until after she wakes up. And then her dad bars her from seeing her husband. And obviously this pisses off riftan crazy. And her dad is basically just doing that scheming BS that he was doing in the beginning of the story where he would lie to the RemDragon knights and tell them that Maxi doesn't want to see anybody when she actually does just so he could keep them apart. Riftan finds out about the abuse (he literally walks in on her dad beating her) and beats her dad up with a chair so badly he almost dies and the knights have to stop him from killing the Duke.

The Duke obviously flips out after he recovers, takes them to trial, and in order to prevent a war and costing her husband his fiefdom, she concocts a scheme with Princess Agnes to say that she was officially on boarded as a mage of the magic tower prior to the assault. And it's like heavily illegal for someone to prosecute or abuse a mage from the magic tower so she joins against basically everybody's will to protect her husband.

The only problem with her joining the magic tower is that they get separated for like a minimum of three years because that's the smallest amount of time that a mage has to spend in the magic tower or something. Anyways, they have a huge fight leading up to her leaving, but she makes up her mind because she doesn't wanna be the reason riftan loses everything.

It's honestly such a sad scene because he was trying to express to her that he doesn't care about any of the things he worked hard for and that she's more important but she can't live with the guilt of being the reason he loses everything and they kind of end on a really bitter note. Then we get a time skip basically of her being in the magic tower and she's been there for like 2 1/2 years something like that and the mages in the tower are getting volunteers to join them on a mission to this place called the Pamela plateau. It's like this barren wasteland where they find the remains of the ancient dark wizards who helps the monsters or something. Maxi also is a really good earth mage and makes this rune around using the Earth and molding it into golem monsters to be used as soldiers for the seven kingdoms or whatever, but it ends up getting banned as a black magic.

Anyways, she ends up running into him because his knights are also on the coalition team. He still like really upset with her over her leaving, but he still loves her despite everything. Anyways, he starts respecting her more as a mage around this point and understanding that she has grown as a person, but he's still very upset about everything that's happening so they have a lot of animosity between them and it gets better before it gets worse because they're both kind of traumatized.

Anyways, they discover a bunch of BS about the monsters because they're discoveries in the Pamela Plateau lead them to figure out that the monsters have created a super mega army that's going to destroy everything because they wanna take over the world and then revive the dragon that Riftan killed in the original dragon campaign.

After they come back from the stupid Pamela Plateau, there's that scene where she dances with Sejulu Aren at the ball or something and she wears that infamous white dress. And obviously her master plan is to make her husband jealous, and then it works and basically he kind of grabs her in a fit of jealousy (he said something about how if she wanted to play with fire, she should expect to get burned and I ate that uppppp) and they start arguing and they end up in this random room for a solid week of straight devil's tango. They have some cute scenes where they're getting along, but he's still so mad about everything she did and because this was their first legitimate reconciliation, and time spent together after the three year separation.

Literally after they get that reunion week, we find out that they have to lead another coalition army to once and for all defeat the monsters who have formed a massive army and later on we find out that some of the monsters are necromancers, and they are rising soldiers up from the dead both human and monster soldiers are being revived until like a skeletal army or something whatever. The master plan of the monsters is basically to revive the dragon was killed in chapter 1.

The entire last two volumes were the ones I had the most trouble getting my hands on, and they were literally all about the dragon campaign and them finally beating the monsters and the dragon, and it's mostly from Maxi's point of view. The war kind of drags on and that freak northern guy is trying to immediately create a civil war amongst the seven kingdoms right after they beat the monsters so he can take down Riftan once and for all because he hates him and he's racist.

And maxi ends up, becoming hailed as a hero because after Riftan and the remdragons split from the main army, they take a team of them and the temple knights, as well as some of the knights of Phil Aaron to go actually slay the dragon, and Max gets left behind in the last city that they managed to recover from the monsters. And she ends up getting to use her golum rune and it single-handedly saves the thousands of people from the coalition army who were left in the city to defend it, and she ends up becoming super revered for her magic and they finally start recognizing her skills basically.

After this, it's kind of more low-key they're just dealing with human political turmoil. And basically it all culminates at this jousting tournament thing where they want all of the reincarnations of Rosem Wigrew to participate and obviously it gets down to the final three being Riftan, Sejulu and the son of the Geylan Breston (idk his name). the son of the third reincarnation is that northern villain his name is like Richard, but it's so irrelevant to me. Anyway, he straight up, tries to goad Riftan into killing him multiple times. He also tries to kill Ursulline in their tournament during the semifinals and almost severs his arm, which pisses off riftan crazy.

The main story basically ends with the fight between Riftan and that stupid hoe Richard. Where obviously our homeboy wins, and he ends up winning the holy sword or whatever, but he humbly rejects the offering from the church because he doesn't want to continue to be a paragon of peace between the seven kingdoms, cause that's just not his job he only cares about his baby girl.

We end up getting the literal cutest scene in the entire series. So at the end of his tournament, he pledges his life to Maxi and asks if the lady would give him the honor of being her knight. And it's a super nice scene because Knights only pledge allegiance to one person and their whole life and he saved it for his wife. anyway it's super cute and she says yes. i was screaminggg.

Throughout this time after their week long reunion and leading up to the dragon campaign pt 2, Riftan and Maxi get way closer and we see a lot of cuter scenes with them and he is genuinely doing such a good job of keeping her in the loop when she asks questions or when she asks him if something is troubling him, he will tell her what's going on with the army is planning with their next moves are she is in meetings and giving her opinion and he is taking her input. It's a really big growth point from the first half of the series where he kind of shut her out. They also kind of get more comfortable in each other's presence and they kind of joke together she's more comfortable initiating with him and stuff and it's just so cute overall.

But they never have a scene where they completely lay out their feelings for each other or say, I love you.There's also a lot of hinting towards her being the only girl he ever let into his heart before he got traumatized and hardened from war and being a knight of the realm. It's just never flushed out enough. There was so much left unsaid because most of the last two volumes was literally just them going to war and defeating the monsters and then killing the dragon again and then dealing with the political issue of that stupid northern freak. I just felt like there was a lot of missed opportunity around giving them the time that they deserved.

Because even though they show in 1000 different ways that they love each other they literally never say the words I love you directly to each other. The very last line of the novel is her whispering the lyrics to a song because we find them back in Anatol at the spring festival and they're having a picnic and he is falling asleep in her lap and she whispers the lyrics "I shall love thee, until my dying breath" which is very cute, but I wanted a confession for five years lol I felt like literally half of their issues was each one doubting that the other one was in love with them because neither of them said the words I love you. Like she literally wondered why her own husband liked her for like 10 volumes. And he kept thinking she didn't like him as much as he liked her. Like be so serious tell him you love him.

Anyway, overall, it's a sweet ending. I just wanted the missing scenes filled in.

literally, I felt like even though all of the politics and whatever ended OK and satisfying enough, I literally felt like the romance aspect of it was such a letdown. Because there was so much that they brought up throughout the series that never comes back to be properly addressed. Like I know they expressed to each other in actions that they love each other, but I felt the words would've been so important because half of their issues was them doubting that the other one loved them as much as they did. Like do not piss me off.

And like the way, he never tells her that she was the only woman he had ever been with pissed me off crazy because there was a scene where she was asking him "Oh how many girls have you been with" and he's like "oh how many guys have you been with" and it's like shut up!! neither of you have been with anybody else. Do not piss me off.


I just wanted that delicious final I love you. I feel like they deserved it so bad. And she deserved to know that he had a soft spot for her before he became a mercenary or whatever because he hinted at it, but it never got flushed out and it's my Roman empire.

I think her overall development and their relationship ends up really good. There's a lot of growth between them and the way he comes to really respect her and her autonomy and her skills as a mage is awesome and I loved it, but genuinely I was so hung up on waiting for a confession that never happened. Like I know the very last line of the novel is her saying the lyrics to the song about loving him until her dying breath, but she's just passively saying it as a song I wanted that blowout confession scene so bad.

And it's like I felt like they lost so much precious time and interactions, especially in the last two volumes because of all of the politics and stuff that was happening. I just wanted more of those missing scenes. Them not getting a baby on screen was OK in my opinion and I think the author hinted that they were gonna have kids later on. She just never wrote the side story for it so that's fine with me.

Also, I totally agree. There was such a lack of development on some of the side characters! I wanted to see more of what happened with everyone and their opinions on Maxi and all of the growth she had like ursiline was such a hater in the beginning, and I know based on context clues, he came to respect her at the end, but I don't know. I just needed some crumbs. Kuahel's ending was also nonexistent. She kind of ignored a lot of loose ends when tying up the story. I also really wanted to know what happened with him cause he was such a mysterious side character.

Pretty well said, god bless ur beautiful yappiness. Loved the novel since it’s so precious to me . I read the novel long ago and it’s stuck to me and will forever

is that all for the ending??? no special chaps or even side stories and all???? i want to see mad jealous riftan tho

THANK YOU!!

there's been subtle hints in the past, Derrik will only compliment Penny's attire when it's the kind that will not attract too much attention
the caged pink bird in his office is also a symbolism
his automatic dislike toward Eclis, there's always tension in the air whenever they are in the same location
the webtoon did not translate it properly but in the novel, when Penny realized his true feelings, she's super disgusted

thats a good point tbh the bird should have told me
and i had seen this trope in a few other comics where the adopted sister is the vilian blah blah but i was really praying it wouldnt be like this for this one i was too hopeful
my last hope is for the brothers in "i am the villain" to not be freaks too

it's probs bc he went to the military
its quite common in korea for men to be a few years older in uni settings bc of this

that makes so much sense i forgot they do that lol tyyy

I don't mind using my brain but there's little to no logic to be found there! It was executed sooooo poorly

IM SAYIN

He is not likeable.

And he literally is a stupid skank lmao ur spot on

how is he a stupid skank? his backstory is so sad and he finally found love after losing a loved one but she’s unavailable:( he’s very likable

To each their own.

I haven’t read that far, but I don’t feel bad for him. He’s plotting and scheming, and is doing too much. I would like his plotting and scheming if he was the male lead and she was dating him, but he’s not the male lead. The beginning where he was all touchy with the female lead knowing that she has a man was enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth. I tend to hate second male leads overall. Boohoo, you couldn’t get the girl? Too bad. They annoy me. He can find somebody else to love.

it’s sad that he’s so in love with the fl i wish he can find someone else who’d love him as much as he does

yes. this is the solution.

agree that he s good, but the ML is such a sweet pie i cant , he s gorgeous and so cute and manly so no, my best ML is the cutie heheheh

second main lead syndrome going hard
