### Summary
Following the previous chapter's intense explicit content, the narrative shifts to a dense, plot-heavy focus on Seo Seunghyun's business operations, leaving a significant portion of the readership confused and disengaged. Readers widely comment on their inability to follow the complex discussions of stocks, logistics, and an international drug trade involving Manila, with many admitting to skipping these sections entirely. This has sparked a meta-debate, as some readers highlight the irony of the audience complaining about a confusing plot after previously demanding more than just smut. Amid the business talk, readers found levity in the artwork, frequently pointing out the "hilarious" and "absurd" character proportions and the awkward way characters hold their phones. Despite the confusing main plot, the chapter is noted for its "cute" and "warm" character moments, such as a tonal shift in Seunghyun's demeanor upon seeing a freshly showered Youngjin. Small, humanizing details, like Seunghyun playing Candy Crush, also captured reader attention. Overall, the chapter's reception is defined by a struggle to comprehend the intricate plot, with many readers choosing to focus instead on humorous artistic quirks and fleeting moments of character interaction.
