### Summary
Reader frustration has boiled over with the revelation that Quaren's lifelong abuse was merely a twisted, immature attempt to show affection. The community vehemently rejects this explanation, comparing him to a "cat bringing a dead bird" or a "4-year-old" and finding it an insulting justification for his severe past actions, such as threatening to throw Adele out a window. Any attempt by the author to redeem him through a "dense" or "bad at communication" trope is being met with widespread anger, with many fans declaring their unwavering hatred for the character. His continued presence is seen as a frustrating interruption, a "third wheel" derailing both the beloved romance and the central supernatural mystery. In stark contrast, Hexion's status as a fan-favorite is further solidified; his "savage" and manipulative efforts to oust Quaren, including getting punched on purpose just to be pampered by Adele, are met with cheers. While a few find Quaren's sheer stupidity amusing, the overwhelming sentiment is one of annoyance, with many questioning the narrative logic of bringing him along and fearing the introduction of a gross, forced romance subplot.
