### Summary
Reader frustration has reached a boiling point as the narrative starkly contrasts Eskal’s life-threatening decline with Laranora’s journey alongside the manipulative Emperor Hazen. The audience is incensed by Laranora’s perceived character regression, lambasting her as “stupid” and “dense” for enjoying sightseeing and even a “night date” with the Emperor, whom she naively considers kind. This obliviousness is particularly galling to readers who know Hazen ordered the very violent acts for which Laranora resents her husband. The overwhelming anxiety for Eskal, who is “dying alone,” has intensified the backlash against Laranora, with many finding the current arc unbearable and questioning her worthiness as a protagonist. Amidst the outrage, however, a new character, Mr. Piller, has emerged as a fan favorite. Immediately hailed for “cock blocking” the Emperor’s advances, he is speculated to be a powerful mage or dragon who holds key information. This introduction, coupled with the anticipated intervention of Eskal's sister Shinnuy, shifts the narrative hope onto powerful side characters, suggesting they will be the catalysts to expose the Emperor and save the central couple from their dire circumstances.
