## Chapter
- number: 8
- release_date: 2025-05-07

### Summary
The narrative has shifted its focus to the introduction of a new, polarizing character named Naru, whose intense and overprotective relationship with the protagonist, Baekyoung, now drives the central conflict. Building on the previous arc where Baekyoung's relationship with a mysterious human male lead was shattered by a non-consensual act, Naru has emerged as a controlling force actively trying to keep Baekyoung from the human world. Reader reception to Naru is sharply divided; some view her as a complex and sympathetic figure whose actions, while crossing a line, stem from a valid, possibly romantic, love and a desire to protect Baekyoung from becoming jaded and traumatized by humans as she has. Others condemn her as a horrid and manipulative person who is smothering Baekyoung's autonomy. This dynamic is further complicated by speculation that Naru is projecting her own desires and disgust with the succubus life onto the "pure" Baekyoung. New lore hints that succubi may be former humans who lose their memories, adding a tragic dimension to Naru's possessiveness and the story's exploration of love, control, and trauma.
