### Summary
The story has unexpectedly transitioned from its triumphant conclusion into a high-stakes epilogue arc, frustrating readers who anticipated a peaceful resolution. The primary antagonist, the deposed former king, has resurfaced, forcing protagonists Hwan and Samwol to abandon their quiet life and confront him directly. Their current strategy involves accepting a dinner invitation from the villain, a move that has intensified reader anxiety and skepticism. The central point of contention among the audience is the couple's decision to leave their young son, Shin-chan, behind to undertake this dangerous mission. Many readers condemn this choice as reckless, fearing it will lead to tragedy, while a smaller contingent defends it as a necessary action to eliminate a persistent threat to their family's safety. Overall, the shift from resolving past trauma to facing a resurgent enemy has replaced the desire for "fluff" and family-focused side stories with renewed stress, as the narrative now appears to be building towards a final, violent confrontation rather than the happy ending readers felt was already earned.
