### Summary
Following the protagonist Sieun Yeon's defeat, the narrative's central conflict concluded with the abrupt, off-screen death of the main antagonist, Baekjin Na, who was unceremoniously killed by a truck. This development was met with widespread reader frustration, with many decrying it as an anticlimactic end for an insurmountable foe. The current chapter deepens this sense of tragedy by presenting a flashback into Baekjin's past, seemingly as his life flashes before his eyes. This posthumous exploration of his character has transformed audience frustration into profound grief and sympathy. Reader commentary is now dominated by emotional pleas for Baekjin not to die, with many lamenting the lost potential for a friendship between the two rivals had they met under different circumstances. Fans now view the antagonist as a "broken hero," and the reveal of his backstory at the moment of his death has solidified his status as a complex, tragic figure whose end has become a major emotional focal point of the story.
