### Summary
Reader fatigue and frustration have intensified into a dominant sentiment of being "tired," "bored," and "disturbed" by the repetitive and graphic sexual assaults on Jo Seong-jae. The audience perceives the plot as stagnant, demanding a narrative shift away from the "horrifying r4pe scenes" and toward active resolution, specifically calling for Hong Dohui to "exorcist this ghost." Criticism of Dohui has sharpened, with readers viewing him as "spineless" and ineffective for failing to stop the torment he is believed to have started. While Seong-jae is still seen as a "poor baby" who is "emotionally and physically exhausted," his complex reactions to the ghost have caused some reader confusion. Speculation regarding the antagonist's motives has evolved, with theories suggesting the ghost may be a jealous half-brother of Dohui's or a spirit that has developed its own obsessive feelings for Seong-jae, feeding on his negative energy. Despite widespread discontent with the story's direction, which has led some to drop the series, the artwork continues to receive praise for its emotional expressiveness. The overall mood is one of extreme impatience for plot development and an end to the protagonist's suffering.
