- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
The current chapter elicits a highly polarized reader response, balancing the series' signature chaotic comedy with significant character controversy. The protagonist, Geumja (as Joe), continues to be celebrated for her "chaotic good energy," proactive nature, and shameless honesty, with readers particularly enjoying her creative "PG-level" insults and the persistent humor of the cross-dressing/BL misunderstanding. However, the narrative's dramatic tension stems from a divisive incident involving Sir Benji's severe injury. A significant portion of the readership condemns Kyle for his inaction and jealousy in the aftermath, viewing his behavior as selfish and unbefitting a loyal friend. This criticism is mirrored by reader disappointment in Geumja, whose internal monologue suggests she would have abandoned the critically wounded Benji had Kyle called for her, sparking a debate on her loyalty. While some fans defend Kyle's actions as a realistic portrayal of his complex trauma, the moment has created a schism in the audience, positioning Benji as a deeply sympathetic figure. Despite the serious moral conflict, the chapter's comedic elements and escalating romance keep readers engaged, highlighting the protagonist's unique strength and the story's increasingly complex character dynamics.
