### Summary
Reniae remains trapped within the sinister "sky people" cult, feigning compliance under the thumb of Gizzida, whose actions have cemented him as a deeply polarizing figure. While some readers are captivated by his masterful psychological manipulation and the complex angst he introduces, viewing him as a compelling villain, a significant portion of the audience is utterly repulsed by his cruelty, particularly forcing Reniae to witness his sexual encounters. This has solidified his image as an irredeemable monster, fueling an intense demand for the return of Kun, who many hope will annihilate the cult. However, this sentiment is not universal, as some readers argue Kun's earlier betrayal was a far greater wound. Amidst this central conflict, anticipation builds for a new "red" male lead mentioned in novel spoilers. Readers are also engaging in deeper world-building speculation, questioning the historical conflict between the North and South and theorizing that the "sky people's" divine superiority is a facade. Reniae's current state is noted as increasingly desperate, with observations that she has become mute, heightening the story's psychological tension and leaving fans frustrated with the lack of romance but praising the narrative's quality.
