To me, the most incredible part of the story is not the smut or the romance itself which are both pretty good, but the significantly growth Max's character hits. Her development is indeed slow but SO INCREDIBLE GOOD and baby I'm here to cheer her forever and always, let's goooo Max babyyyy. The automatic translation is quite bad and mixes up pronouns. However, it’s quite easy to understand the overall story. Enjoy! But that was not the original agreement!” Nevin said heatedly. “No one told me we’d be charging into monster territory!” I did my fair share of cooking at the Mage Tower, you see. The novices take turns… and I struggled in the beginning since I’ve never cooked in my life. I don’t think… I have a natural talent in the kitchen. The others would prepare remedies for ill digestion in advance whenever it was my turn. Still… I think I’ve improved quite a bit. Wouldn’t you agree?”

This is one of the stories you have to be patient with and wait for the character development to start. There are a lot of miscommunication at the beginning because of the lead characters low self-esteem. Max and Riftan, they are both so awkward and poor at communicating. La protagonista, Maximillian, es mi personaje favorito por la forma en la que evolucionó de a poco hasta el final. Sufrí mucho por las cosas que atravesó, para mí fue muy realista la forma en que la autora abordó su psicología de una mujer maltratada pues a lo largo de la historia todo el tiempo la acompañan sentimientos de inferioridad, ansiedad, inseguridad y miedo, e igual me alegré por sus pequeños triunfos. Creo que habría sido fácil para la autora irse por el camino de convertirla de repente en una chica super poderosa, una elegida, iluminada o algo así. No lo sentiría creíble, no sé. As if displeased at the accusatory atmosphere that had formed around the elder, Celric came to his defense. D-Do you… remember the last time we ate stew together like this? It was raining… and you made it by boiling herbs and sausages in a flask. D-Don’t you think this tastes similar? I sometimes found myself missing that flavor, so I came up with this recipe after several attempts. People… generally seem to like it whenever I make it for them.”Ch. 8-9: Maxi is asked by master Landon & Calto (Ruth's uncle) if she wants to join expedition to investigated traces of dark mages in Pamela Plateu, in exchange she will receive her elemental rune earlier and will be able to leave MT sooner, Maxi ofc agrees, preparations commence and she receives the rune; Oh, about Riftan! He's one of the cutest and nicest ML I've ever seen in a Korean novel. Riftan is such a good guy! Not to say he's perfect, because he's not. Dude definitely has his own issues to overcome. Ch. 80 - war meeting: discussing strategy, Maxi says that mages work on enhancing siege weapons and shares her idea how to improve range of said weapons;

I love this series! In this book we get to see more of Maxi learning her magic and settling into her skin more. It’s wonderful to see her come out of her shell. The story begins with Max waiting for the arrival of her 3yr husband who successfully killed a red dragon(¿).. Shes thinking that the husband will probably divorce her so to avoid ruining her family name she's hoping to suicide Let us speak plainly. Concealing your plans from the monster army was not your only concern. You wanted to keep it hidden from the nobles lest it completely shift the outcome of the conclave. Is that not why you sought a party of mages with no connections to any noble houses?” Dont even say things like the translators promoted this novel, and that's the reason why this is so popular. Ben, who was known for being the most prudent of the mages, cautiously asked, “Would it not be better to create a new party with more seasoned mages?”Second, the character nature chosen was totally different with a common korean romance novel (usually they used extremely rich man and extremely poor woman and otherwise with overbearing, or cold character, entangling in misunderstanding and finally end up together), what different with this one is, author actually don't follow that pattern, instead play with both characters's weaknesses and as the time goes by, they slowly change and heal each other. But although they are each other main reason of change, but the other side characters also play important role especially for the FL
