### Summary
The narrative has pivoted into a deep psychological exploration via a flashback, delivering a shocking twist that reveals a toxic, abusive romantic relationship between the original villainess, Eleanora, and the original heroine, Renia. This unexpected "doomed yuri" dynamic has stunned readers, cementing Eleanora's character as a genuinely sociopathic "mad scientist" who manipulates and destroys everyone she touches—a portrayal praised for its compelling evil. The revelation recasts Renia from a simple victim into a delusional and complicit partner in Eleanora's horrific human experiments. This relationship is depicted as the direct catalyst for Adrian's descent into villainy, triggering his psychological collapse. Reader opinion on Adrian remains sharply divided; while his trauma elicits significant sympathy, many argue it doesn't excuse his subsequent monstrous actions, framing the conflict as a tragic cycle of "victim on victim crime." This development creates a major contradiction with the in-universe novel the protagonist Noa read, fueling speculation about altered timelines or the novel's unreliability. While some readers express fatigue with the extended flashback and miss the main cast, most are captivated by the story's complex turn into a dark drama about inherited trauma and the nature of villainy.
