### Summary
The current chapter focuses on the severe and medically dangerous consequences of Iliyan's attempt to quit his lifelong alcoholism "cold turkey." Having been forcibly addicted by his father since the age of seven, Iliyan suffers a complete physical and psychological collapse from withdrawal, a development that readers have found both harrowing and accurately portrayed. A significant portion of the reader discussion centers on the real-world dangers of abrupt alcohol cessation, with many commenters, including healthcare professionals and those with personal experience, validating the narrative by explaining that such withdrawal can be lethal. They commend the author for tackling the subject with a gravity often missing in other media. While readers direct intense anger towards Iliyan's unrepentant father, whom they see as the sole cause of his son's suffering, they show immense sympathy for Kyle. Despite his feelings of guilt, readers absolve him of blame, viewing his desperate measures, such as giving Iliyan a small amount of alcohol via chocolate, as a necessary emergency response before a doctor could be called. The chapter's realistic depiction of addiction's brutal aftermath has been widely praised, reinforcing the narrative's shift towards a serious exploration of trauma and recovery.
