### Summary
The narrative escalates the transactional nature of the pregnancy, with Hye-sung fully embracing a role of gleeful antagonism and financial exploitation. He revels in his newfound power, openly calling Dojin a "sucker" and boasting about the money being spent on him, viewing the pregnancy as an easy ride. This behavior has ignited an explosive and deeply fractured reader response. One faction champions Hye-sung, finding his actions "hilarious" and "valid" retribution for being forced into pregnancy, viewing it as a pragmatic way to secure a future after a lifetime of trauma. They encourage him to "milk that rich bastard bone dry." Conversely, a large and vocal group of readers condemns him as an insufferable "spoiled brat," a "gold digger," and a "terrible person" for commodifying his child, arguing that his past does not excuse his current cruelty. This core debate is further complicated by a meta-conflict between first-time readers, who feel entitled to their immediate negative reactions, and re-readers, who repeatedly try to manage the discussion by insisting that others "STOP SAYING YOU HATE HIM" and wait for his eventual character development. The contentious "mutual assault" argument also continues to fuel the fire, shaping readers' assignment of blame. The chapter culminates in a moment of karmic irony, as Hye-sung's declaration that pregnancy is easy is immediately followed by the violent onset of morning sickness, a development many readers had been eagerly anticipating.
