### Summary
The intense reader backlash against protagonist Mihye has solidified into widespread condemnation, with the vast majority of comments expressing disgust over her escalating violence and hypocrisy. Her brutal assault on her idol, A, in a dream and subsequent slapping of her familiar, Wigrun, are seen as abusive and toxic, not comedic. Readers are furious with her for kink-shaming A's masochism and slut-shaming his work as a host, pointing out that her own activities as a witch are a form of sex work. Many criticize her childish immaturity, arguing her reaction is that of a toxic, entitled fan who cannot separate her parasocial fantasy from reality. While a small minority defends her actions as a realistic, if flawed, portrayal of someone with a repressed conservative upbringing, this view is largely drowned out. The overwhelming sentiment is that her behavior is inexcusable, leading a significant number of readers to declare they are dropping the series and shifting their support entirely to the victimized fan-favorite, Wigrun.
