### Summary
Reader discussion following the season finale is overwhelmingly dominated by the execution of the antagonist, Isis Frederick. Despite her villainy, a substantial portion of the audience expressed admiration for her character, praising her as a cool, intelligent, and well-written antagonist who remained protective of her brother, Oscar, until the end. Her peaceful acceptance of death has become a central point of debate, with many theorizing she failed to awaken her potential supernatural powers because she lacked the strong "will to live" or desire for revenge that fueled Aria and Asher. This fascination has led to numerous calls for an Isis-centric spin-off or reincarnation story, often pairing her romantically with King Lohan, a ship fueled by popular end-of-chapter artwork. However, a vocal minority maintains that Isis deserved her fate due to her unrepentant cruelty and classism. Beyond Isis, readers were surprised by the season finale, with many having expected the series to conclude. The chapter ends on a major cliffhanger—a flashback revealing Aria and Asher met as children—which has generated intense curiosity, alongside some concern about the manhwa deviating from the source novel.
