Realistically, if Riftan wants to protect Maxi "from herself" kinda and how she rushes into situations that she doesn't actually know how to handle, he needs to give her an actual position and job in these scenarios so she can feel of use and busy while being out of danger. Because as she has shown, when left to her own devices, she has a tendency to get in over her head due to her lack of experience. So logically, she needs to gain experience from a safe distance to avoid these situations.
I won't lie, this is still controlling behavior but when it comes to violent and dangerous situations, he is the commander guy so it's appropriate.
But he also has to drop that control when it comes back to their everyday lives and allow his wife to leave the house. Riftan has wayyy too much anxiety in this regard for his relationship to be healthy so those trying to fully justify his actions seem real silly to me. Some of his control IS justified (like I mentioned before with the dangerous battle-y situations) but the rest is not and just categorizing one or the other as "completely in the right" is totally missing the fact that they both need to grow in this situation and that Riftan's actions could make it harder for Maxi to grow how she needs to
Seonwoo definitely feels autism-coded to me . . .
I'm not saying he like actually definitively is, he just has a lot of traits that overlap with autism symptoms and signs that I (as a person w/ tism) really relate to and it makes me just love his character even more
(And even if it isn't autism, he's defo not neurotypical imo)
In other news, sometimes I see the antenna that are Mr. Jeong's eyelashes and have to laugh
Okay I honestly love that Bayan's still doing things and that her life and thoughts aren't suddenly all consumed by motherhood
But could she spare her daughter more than a single thought? And why can't we have a wholesome father daughter relationship where he loves his daughter as a doting father? It really feels like they haven't shown a single ounce of affection to this baby since the moment it was conceived
It managed to focus so much on the parents during the pregnancy but never address any feelings they had about their baby or becoming parents and that trend has just continued up until this point
Wow it's a baby that actually looks like a BABY :O
Not just a tiny adult with big eyes and a big head, but an actual baby and she's so cute I just q.q
I thought he might be her uncle!! :DD
That means she must have gotten hr copycat mage thing from her mom's side which I hadn't thought about
Ahhhh i actually read some spoilers about this.. wanna get spoiled? (๑•﹏•)
Please share!!
Yes certainly!!
Your conclusion is actually right!!!
Lol she's definitely whiney and I can see why people find it annoying
But it's honestly a shift in her character to kind of show how stress free her life is now compared to before when she was dealing with all the life and death stuff all the time
Also I think it's funny the people bring up her past studying to complain about why she's whining but she definitely whined back then too (whining about studying has been pretty consistent throughout the story I think, especially when it comes to math . . . So maybe my other point doesn't really stand as well)
She enjoyed literature and social studies but despised math if I remember right
Anywho, I hope she chooses to stick with the treasury job, at least until things stabilize, out of loyalty to the overburdened workers. I hope she stays long enough that the emperor regrets assigning her the task cuz she has no time for him anymore cuz that's just the kinda petty drama the feel right for side stories
(Still mad about the complete lack of baby/parenting content tho)
Honestly tho, I am enjoying the story but only so long as I don't think too hard about it. I'll just pretend like the story ended completely after she announced her pregnancy and just let it be cuz again, while it is entertaining on a level, these developments are definitely frustrating when compared with the vibe and messages of base story
You can't just magically cure the trauma of the early chapters!! (╬￣Д ￣)
*wholesome bathtub extra* my heart- Q.Q<3
No because it's the fact that they are both just taking turns raping her. She says no, she means no. She has had consensual sex with both of them at different points (I'm pretty sure, didn't bother actually reading most of the sex scenes cuz they were pretty boring cut and paste) but there have been way too many times where the act was started and she clearly said no (it doesn't matter her reason for saying no or if part of her "actually wanted it" by the end, because the other part clearly didn't).
Initially, she didn't have an "affair" with his brother, she was raped by him multiple times and then he acted like it was an equal act.
Honestly she's really just treated like an object for these two guys to fight over.
Anyway, you can't convince me this isn't a story about an emotionally and sexually abused woman.
Oh! And the emotional incest between her husband and his mother-
It's giving "toxic boy mom".
Especially how she inserts herself into their marriage and tells her son how his wife should act
All I'm saying is that there are real underlying problems that lead to this whole situation
(And ik it's just porn and I'm reading too much into it, but this kind of analysis is how I enjoy stories like this lol)
This isn't a story at all girrrll... IT'S PORN. Chill.
I did mention that I know this is just porn and not really meant to have a distinct, logical, or enjoyable plot
But what I enjoy about reading these kinds of comics is analyzing the plot because I find it interesting and entertaining
Alsoooo saying that just because it's porn it can't have a message (and a potentially harmful one at that) is quite ignorant.
Again, I DO enjoy reading these comics and did enjoy reading this one in particular, but it's important to recognize that it's okay to be critical of something that you enjoy and it doesn't have to hinder your enjoyment of that thing
But if you don't enjoy making or reading commentary on these things feel free to scroll past when you see these kind of comments in the future
I do apologize tho since I didn't make it entirely clear, I'm not rebuking this story and definitely not rebuking those who read it because that would be unkind and could warrant a negative response
I also apologize that this reply was so long and that I probably took your comment way too seriously TuT
I just had somethings I wanted to say is all and I really don't have any serious or hard feelings towards this comic or you for your reply
Cuz yeah, it is just porn lol
I ain't reading all that... :'D
