### Summary
The central conflict has shifted from Ripley's overt self-sabotage to a frustrating pattern of neglect, deepening the divide within the readership. Following her impulsive proposal, Ripley is now completely consumed by a new business venture inspired by her maid Sylvia's ointment, ignoring both her fiancé, Duke Zeronis, and their wedding preparations. This nonchalant attitude, especially after her prior jealousy, is seen by many readers as nonsensical and immature. The current chapter appears to feature another embarrassing incident for Ripley, possibly involving a nosebleed witnessed by her friends Etoile and Wright, which has only intensified the audience's polarized reactions. While some fans embrace her chaotic energy as relatable and comedic, calling her a "delulu queen," a growing and vocal faction finds her behavior "dumber than a box of rocks" and "annoying af." These readers express immense sympathy for the patient Duke and are considering dropping the series due to the repetitive plot, with multiple comments citing "Deja vu." The story is testing reader patience, as Ripley's deep-seated trauma and chaotic nature continue to drive the toxic, yet comedic, dynamic of her forced engagement.
