### Summary
The current chapter escalates the antagonist's biological warfare into a full-blown pandemic, a development that elicits an overwhelming response from readers who draw constant, often exasperated, parallels to the COVID-19 crisis. The commentary is dominated by calls for "quarantine," "masks," and "social distancing," reflecting a collective pandemic fatigue. Readers identify the disease as a highly contagious hemorrhagic fever spread through bodily fluids, noting symptoms like high fever and bleeding linked to a low platelet count. A significant point of contention is Elise's perceived slow response, with many criticizing the brilliant doctor for failing to immediately implement basic safety protocols like PPE and isolation. Her decision to approach Prince Linden without any protective measures, despite the risk of being a carrier herself, is seen as particularly reckless. The villain, derisively called "Nicoshit" or the "scorpion guy," is the target of intense reader animosity for orchestrating the plague. While the epidemic serves as a direct test of Elise's expertise, some readers express frustration with the plot's focus, lamenting the shift away from romance and highlighting the danger now inherent in Elise's close contact with the prince.
