### Summary
Reader reception continues to celebrate the protagonist, Latte, for her relatable "not my problem" attitude and her comedic role as an observer who enjoys the drama without wanting to be involved. However, the central focus of discussion has shifted to intense and divided speculation about the original heroine, Ibelin. A significant portion of the readership is deeply suspicious of Ibelin's motives, interpreting her friendly actions as a manipulative facade and predicting she is a "secretly evil" character, a sentiment fueled by experience with similar tropes in other manhwa. Conversely, an equally vocal group is passionately shipping Ibelin with Latte, interpreting her attentiveness as romantic interest and enthusiastically calling for a "yuri route." This dynamic is seen as far more compelling than the interactions with the male leads, who are consistently dismissed as "cringy," "annoying," and one-dimensional caricatures. Some readers defend this flat characterization, arguing it is a deliberate and successful parody of romance tropes that serves the story's comedic purpose. Ultimately, the chapter leaves the audience polarized over Ibelin's true nature, torn between hoping for a genuine romance and bracing for a villainous betrayal.
