### Summary
The narrative continues to focus on the relentless persecution of Jin Mu-Won at the ruins of the Northern Heavenly Sect. Following a direct assault where he was stabbed by descendants of his family's betrayers, reader frustration has peaked. Commenters express outrage that the protagonist, who "has nothing to his name," is constantly besieged by unwelcomed guests in his own dilapidated home, intensifying their desire for his eventual revenge. The arrival of an unidentified "strong man" at the end of the previous chapter remains a central point of discussion, with readers speculating whether this powerful figure will be a "friend or foe" and potentially an important ally for the isolated Mu-Won. Meanwhile, the betrayal by Eun Ha-Seol is reinforced, with commentary noting she will likely be an "annoying" antagonist moving forward. Audience discussion also touches upon the manhwa's distinct, desaturated art style and the perceived short length of the chapters, but the primary focus remains on the escalating threats against a protagonist who "just can't catch a break."
