The Return of the 8th Class Mage — Chapter 72

Alright, buckle up, mages and fans of **The Return of the 8th Class Mage**! This week's dive into **Chapter 72** had readers in a whirlwind of emotions, primarily directed at our least favorite former Emperor, Ragnar. 🙄

Most readers are absolutely fuming over Ragnar's manipulative gaslighting, especially that infuriating line, "Would a friend make you suffer like this?" Many found his claims of betrayal from Ian utterly illogical, cementing his status as a truly awful person. 😠 While some tried to understand Ragnar's actions, seeing him as a weak, fear-driven ruler struggling with politics and influence, the consensus is clear: he only wanted Ian under his thumb. This chapter certainly highlighted his lack of compassion!

Then there's Douglas, the alchemist. Past Douglas, who suggested poisoning Ian, earned a lot of reader hate. But there's a collective sigh of relief and joy that thanks to Ian's time-traveling shenanigans and the "butterfly effect," current-timeline Douglas grew up to be a "good boy" and "bright boy"! 🦋 Still, some can't quite forgive his past self. As for the chapter itself, opinions were split: some felt it was "of totally no need" since we knew much of this already, while others appreciated the deeper insight into Ragnar's warped mindset. Either way, it's clear **The Return of the 8th Class Mage Chapter 72** sparked some serious discussion!
