### Summary
Reader animosity towards the antagonist, Godo, has intensified, with many labeling him a hypocrite for lecturing cadets on discipline after he personally instigated the racial tensions between the Avian and Serpent groups. While the overwhelming sentiment is vitriol, a more complex debate regarding his motives has emerged. Some readers now theorize that Godo's actions are a deliberate and cruel test—a manipulation tactic designed to teach the cadets about subordination and the necessity of following orders despite external provocation or personal feelings. Others offer a more sympathetic view, suggesting his prejudice is a result of war trauma from losing comrades, while a few synthesize these ideas, labeling him a "racist strategist" who uses his genuine hatred as a harsh teaching method. Despite these nuanced interpretations, the consensus remains that he is an abusive and incompetent instructor. Frustration is also mounting against the protagonist, Sahwahyun (Hyeon), whose passive response is increasingly viewed as complacency or even "inner racism," causing some readers to actively dislike him. The cadets themselves are also scrutinized, with some arguing their failure to resist Godo's influence reveals the fragility of their previous training under Sahwahyun.
