### Summary
Reader focus has shifted entirely to the protagonist, Rita, who is overwhelmingly celebrated for her genuinely villainous and unhinged nature. Commenters embrace her as an "iconic," "morally grey," and "evil" character, finding her a refreshing and interesting departure from typical heroines. Her ruthless actions, particularly a satisfying slap delivered to a butler, are lauded as cathartic moments of vengeance. While a small minority condemns Rita as a "selfish bitch" for her role in the body swap, the dominant sentiment is excitement for her "real villainess" persona. Despite this enthusiasm for Rita, significant sympathy persists for the original Bertha (Verta), with readers lamenting her tragic life of abuse and hoping Rita’s revenge will also serve as justice for her. The introduction of the "hot" and androgynous fortune teller who orchestrated the swap has also captured attention, with many readers now shipping the new character with Rita and speculating they could be the male lead. The universal disgust for the established male characters continues, but the audience is primarily hooked on the dark, twisted narrative, with some comparing its vibe to \*Kakegurui\*, and eagerly anticipates the mayhem of Rita's revenge.
