### Summary
Reader frustration has intensified as the central romance between the witch Mihye and her familiar, Wigrun, remains unconsummated after nearly 200 chapters due to a supernatural contract requiring her to maintain her technical virginity. The narrative has deliberately pivoted from their relationship, causing audience attention to fragment onto developing subplots. Current discussions are dominated by two key areas: the villain Ethan, whose new, popular hairstyle is widely praised, though his predatory nature is also being called into question; and the long-suffering Mr. Wu, who is receiving an outpouring of reader sympathy. Fans are now actively shipping Mr. Wu with an alternate-timeline CEO version of Mihye, a pairing the story appears to be endorsing as his path to happiness. This focus on side characters and new pairings is compounded by confusion and criticism regarding the plot's convoluted mechanics, with readers questioning the logic of a proposed "time rewind" power that would allow Mihye to have sex but remain a virgin. While some are engaged by these intricate diversions, the core romantic payoff for the main couple feels perpetually stalled, with their progression now an afterthought in reader conversations.
