### Summary
The chapter culminates in a violent climax orchestrated by the protagonist, as she successfully manipulates Jacard into beating Jean to death. Readers are thrilled by this development, celebrating the protagonist's cunning "mind fckery" and her "Tiger vs Dragon" strategy that allows her to achieve revenge without soiling her own hands. A key point of discussion is Jean's accusation that Jacard is a hypocrite for condoning sexual assault but drawing the line at physical violence. The community overwhelmingly agrees with this assessment, finding it unsettling but true that the "shitty man" was "spitting facts" in his final moments. While Jean's brutal death is seen as a satisfying and deserved fate, Jacard is also universally condemned as a disgusting sexual predator who doesn't understand consent, despite his feelings for the protagonist. Readers are thoroughly invested in the merciless revenge plot, praising the protagonist as a "true queen" and a refreshing anti-heroine who refuses to redeem the story's "trash" male characters. The overall sentiment is one of exhilaration and satisfaction, with many expressing sympathy for the original Bertha while eagerly anticipating the downfall of her abusers.
