### Summary
Reader reception is sharply divided, with overwhelming affection for the "second male lead," Jean, clashing with intense frustration over the current plot and Adele's character regression. Jean is celebrated as a respectful and selfless friend, evoking strong "second ML syndrome" as fans lament his unrequited love and praise his supportive nature. This positive sentiment has sparked theories that he may be a long-lost relative rather than a romantic rival. Conversely, Adele's passive tolerance of Luna's petty harassment is a major point of contention. Readers are exasperated that the once-assertive protagonist has reverted to a "shoujo cliche," silently enduring abuse instead of confronting the problem directly. This de-escalation from high-stakes imperial conflict to domestic drama is widely criticized as disappointing "filler" that undermines her hard-won agency. While the antagonist Luna is universally disliked, the maid Frey provides welcome comic relief, with many suspecting she is acting on orders from the conspicuously absent Hexion. The chapter leaves readers adoring a side character while decrying the protagonist's perceived step backward.
