### Summary
The narrative has shifted its focus to the intensely tragic side story of the former antagonist, the shaman Joohwan, and the King of the Underworld, creating a fever pitch of emotional exhaustion among readers. The current arc is widely perceived as "pure torture," with the slow-burn pacing leaving the audience feeling drained and heartbroken by Joohwan's unending suffering across multiple lifetimes. Readers observe his condition is a "downward spiral" as his memories return, leading to fears that he looks "suicidal" and may be abandoning his desire for a normal life in favor of simply reuniting with the King. This has fueled widespread anxiety and confusion about the story's conclusion, with many doubting a conventional happy ending is possible and instead speculating on a tragic fate. The chapter's unsettling atmosphere, punctuated by a "scary" sleepwalking scene involving a statue, has amplified the tension. Overwhelmingly, the audience is pleading with the author for a merciful resolution, desperate to see Joohwan find peace after his prolonged torment.
