## Chapter
- number: 52
- release_date: 2025-05-14

### Summary
The initial fan enthusiasm for Jean has completely soured, replaced by widespread reader frustration over his controlling and possessive behavior. The audience is incensed that he makes decisions \*for\* Adele, speaks about her as if she isn't present, and treats her like an object to be claimed in a "pissing contest" with Hexion. This behavior is seen as a direct violation of the autonomy Adele has fought to gain, drawing unfavorable comparisons to the abusive family she just escaped. In stark contrast, Hexion is lauded for consistently respecting Adele's choices, which has only solidified his status as the beloved male lead and made the forced love triangle feel all the more annoying to readers. The chapter's central conflict, where Jean challenges Hexion's ability to protect Adele, is met with derision. Many ironically point out Hexion's secretly petrified hand, predicting he will effortlessly win the standoff. Ultimately, the audience is tired of men trying to dictate the female lead's life and is calling for Adele to assert herself and shut down the misogynistic power struggle.
