### Summary
The chapter's crisis culminates in the protagonist, Joe (Geumja), successfully sending a desperate mental message to Kyle, urging him to save his dying brother, Teo. This last-ditch effort, which readers found both effective and frustratingly delayed, is a direct result of the novel's original hero, Isak, breaking his promise to help. The community overwhelmingly condemns Isak as a "useless" and "spineless" puppet under the control of the original female lead, Deloah. Deloah emerges as the chapter's primary antagonist in the eyes of the readers, who label her a cold, manipulative "bitch" and widely speculate that she is the one poisoning Teo to eliminate competition for the throne. While the hatred for Deloah is intense, a vocal minority defends her as a pragmatic "girlboss" with a justifiable revenge plot, shifting blame back onto the protagonist for her perceived incompetence and poor planning. Amidst the fierce character debates, the fandom's core anxiety remains fixated on Teo's survival, with his potential death threatening a massive reader backlash.
