# WebtoonLib — Side Characters Deserve Love Too #57 ## Series - title: Side Characters Deserve Love Too - slug: side-characters-deserve-love-too-d020da ## Chapter - number: 57 - release_date: 2025-03-12 ### Summary The chapter continues the series' blend of high-stakes plot and farcical humor, as Geumja ("Joe") navigates the aftermath of her previous confrontation. Her talent for generating absurd lies escalates, with a particularly noted joke about the Korean work week ("Monday, Tuesday... Friday, Friday, Friday") successfully deceiving the palace guards and even a suspicious Kyle. This deception leads to comedic chaos, including one guard being beaten up by his colleagues based on her fabricated story. However, the lighthearted tone shifts dramatically when Geumja is confronted by the mysterious, red-haired woman previously seen observing her. This figure is revealed to be a god-like entity, widely interpreted by readers as the novel's author. The encounter takes place in a surreal, disorienting space described as Escher-like, creating a sense of genuine terror. This development has drawn strong comparisons to the webtoon "Beware of the Villainess," sparking discussion and concern among the readership. The confrontation marks a significant narrative pivot into meta-commentary, as Geumja, the transmigrated fan, must now face the omnipotent creator of her world. Speculation abounds regarding the author's intentions and whether she has severed the crucial telepathic link between Geumja and Kyle, fundamentally altering the story's core dynamic. - summary_source: graph_aggregator - summary_verification: unverified ## Spoiler - level: auto ### Safe teaser The chapter continues the series' blend of high-stakes plot and farcical humor, as Geumja ("Joe") navigates the aftermath of her previous confrontation. ### Spoiler summary The chapter continues the series' blend of high-stakes plot and farcical humor, as Geumja ("Joe") navigates the aftermath of her previous confrontation.
