### Summary
The latest chapter introduces a new, unidentified male character, immediately fueling reader speculation about the arrival of a second male lead and a potential love rivalry. This development occurs as Ripley's ongoing attempts to embody a villainess continue to backfire; her actions are increasingly interpreted by the audience not as evil, but as those of an "adorable Tsundere." A significant and divisive scene involved a carriage horse, which drew mixed reactions. Some readers found the 3D art of the fallen horse "dumb" and humorous, while others voiced serious concerns about the depiction of animal abuse. The chapter also appears to feature a character named Etoile, who is noted for being skilled at gaslighting. On a separate note, multiple readers expressed their disappointment over the absence of the customary novel art for this installment.
