### Summary
Reader discussion is overwhelmingly dominated by the sudden and enthusiastic speculation of a "yuri" or "GL" (Girls' Love) route following a scene where Aria performs a "kabedon" (wall slam) on her maid, Jessie. The audience widely interpreted this interaction as seductive, sparking jokes and genuine hope for a genre change. This development has solidified the community's dismissal of Oscar as a viable love interest, with his character now being heavily criticized as a "pushover," "doormat," and "bland." Readers feel his kind, "softie" nature lacks the "backbone" required to be a match for the manipulative Aria, viewing him merely as a pawn caught between her and Mielle. Meanwhile, Aria's actions are celebrated as those of a "proper villainess," with fans enjoying her cunning tactics and even her sadistic internal monologue about wanting to bully Jessie again. While a minority expresses discomfort with her treatment of those in a lower social class or notes the age difference in her interaction with the maid, the consensus is that her complex, flawed, and ruthless behavior makes for a refreshing and compelling anti-hero.
