### Summary
Reader reception continues to be overwhelmingly negative towards Yuri, whose aggressive and remorseless behavior is seen as having no development. The audience's condemnation has solidified, with comments labeling him a cruel, heartless "asshole" and "piece of shit." A dominant new theme in the commentary is the accusation of a possessive, incestuous complex ("siscon") regarding his stepsister, Heeju, with many readers interpreting his actions as romantic jealousy rather than protective loyalty. Furthermore, Yuri is now widely criticized for his perceived homophobia, as he harasses Mr. Lee about his sexuality and attempts to out him, an act readers find especially hypocritical given his friendships with gay characters. In stark contrast, sympathy for Mr. Lee (Seonwoo) has reached a fever pitch; he is universally seen as a tragic victim, crushed by his unrequited love, disrespectful students, and Yuri's targeted bullying. While a few readers argue for a more nuanced interpretation of Yuri's protective instincts or plead for patience with the story's pacing, the vast majority finds his cruelty inexcusable and questions his viability as a romantic lead, with many threatening to drop the series.
