### Summary
The current side story, which revisits the exiled Prince Michael (Mil), has elicited a powerful and largely negative reaction from the audience, who are frustrated and saddened by his apparent inability to move on from his unrequited love for Elise. Readers overwhelmingly express that this narrative direction is a painful and unnecessary use of the "suffering second male lead" trope, questioning the chapter's purpose beyond highlighting his misery. Many feel the story does a disservice to his character, arguing that he deserved a chance at happiness with a new partner, similar to other supporting characters who have found peace. This sentiment has led to widespread disappointment, with some fans stating they would have preferred his character not reappear at all if only to be shown as perpetually heartbroken. A secondary criticism is aimed at Elise, who is perceived as "clueless" and insensitive for failing to recognize the depth of Michael's feelings. While a small contingent of readers maintains that Michael was the better romantic partner for Elise, the dominant consensus is one of heartbreak and a desire for his character to finally receive closure and find his own happy ending.
