### Summary
The recent revelation of Coach K's villainy has provoked a wave of intense anger and betrayal among readers. Having orchestrated the attack on Yu's manager, Carmen, to justify corrupting his prodigy with performance-enhancing drugs, K is now universally condemned as a manipulative "asshole" and the story's true antagonist. This twist reframes Yu's journey, casting him as a tragic puppet whose apathy is being cruelly weaponized by his mentor. Readers express profound sadness for Yu, noting how K's influence has caused his inner thoughts to diminish as he is molded into a "monster." The fan sentiment has shifted dramatically, with those who previously disliked K feeling vindicated and others retracting their blame from Santorino Fabrizo to focus their animosity entirely on the coach. The emotional stakes have escalated, with significant concern for Carmen's safety now that she knows the truth, and a palpable sense of despair that has led some to consider dropping the manhwa. Amid the outrage, there is a desperate hope that another character, possibly the "golden guy" (Jay), might be able to save Yu from his mentor's disturbing game.
