### Summary
Reader frustration has intensified, with many criticizing the current arc for what they perceive as illogical and contrived plotting. The assassination of the king has become a focal point of this discontent, with fans decrying the lack of security, the absence of loyal palace staff, and the overall poor management of the kingdom as "ridiculous" plot holes. This sentiment is causing some to drop the series or put it on hold, citing the "slow," "tiring," and "suffocating" pace of the narrative, which is exacerbated by short chapters. The character of Agnes is a primary source of reader anxiety; while there is sympathy for her suffering and some relief that she is finally communicating with Alex, there is significant worry that she will be framed implausibly or develop a troublesome romantic attachment to him. Animosity towards the antagonists is at an all-time high, with readers expressing a vehement desire to see the "shitty princess" (Michaela), the "dumb fuck Queen," and their accomplices suffer a brutal demise. Overall, the consensus is that the story is sacrificing narrative coherence for the sake of drama, undermining the audience's investment even as they eagerly await the villains' downfall and the public revelation of Alex's powerful lineage.
