### Summary
The narrative continues to explore Jerry's distress over the game system's "forbidden love" route prompt concerning his brothers, a plot point that has garnered reader sympathy for the siblings, who are viewed as innocent victims of the game's design. However, the chapter's central conflict pivots to Jerry's own poor judgment. After receiving a direct warning from a mysterious figure to "be careful," Jerry immediately stops in the middle of a road to read a book. This reckless action has provoked widespread frustration among readers, who overwhelmingly criticize the protagonist as "stupid" and "empty-headed" for his lack of common sense. The chapter ends on a dramatic cliffhanger, with Jerry about to be run down by a carriage as a direct result of his carelessness. This event has fueled speculation about a potential "Carriage-kun" transmigration scenario and renewed debate over the game's mechanics, particularly why Jerry cannot simply select "No" to the unwanted route. The primary focus of reader commentary has shifted from the incestuous game prompt to intense exasperation with the protagonist's self-endangering behavior.
