### Summary
The overwhelmingly positive reception for the new character, Godo, has abruptly and completely reversed. Reader sentiment has shifted from admiration to intense hatred, with his actions in the current chapter revealing him as a "racist piece of shit" who abuses his authority. His behavior is seen as a deliberate attempt to sabotage the fragile peace and the academy's mission of fostering cooperation between the Avian and Serpent races, directly undermining the progress the cadets have made. The comments are filled with outrage, labeling him an "insecure motherfucker," an "asshole," and a "bird-brained" bigot who is actively trying to reignite the war. Many readers have explicitly retracted their previous attraction to him, disgusted by his personality. Speculation has arisen that Godo's deep-seated hatred is a manifestation of guilt and misdirected anger over Sahwahyun losing his wing, an injury theorized to have occurred while protecting Godo. This, however, has earned him no sympathy. Instead, readers are calling for him to be demoted or physically confronted, with many expressing a strong desire for Yahyul to be the one to put him in his place. The trope of the untrustworthy redhead in BL manga was also frequently cited by readers who felt his villainous turn was inevitable.
