### Summary
The current chapter has shattered the previous consensus on Gizzida, throwing readers into a state of pronounced conflict and debate regarding his true nature. While the prior chapter solidified his role as a manipulative villain, his recent actions in defending Reniae have caused many to "falter," questioning whether he is truly evil or if his kindness is genuine. This ambiguity has intensified the rivalry for reader affection between him and Kun, with some now leaning towards Gizzida despite their better judgment. However, deep skepticism persists, with many suspecting his behavior is a manipulative "plot device" and ridiculing the hypocrisy of his faction for launching fireballs in a sacred forest they claim to protect. This central conflict has left the audience deeply divided, with some seeking spoilers for clarity while others embrace the moral grayness. The overall sentiment is one of confusion and anticipation, as Gizzida's actions have made him a polarizing figure whose ultimate alignment remains uncertain.
