And i thought she have changed but she just play a role that suited the tastes of her crush. So yeah, she is an hypocrit. It's been quite some time that I doesn't likea MC at all but she is quite the asshole.

@Lilliwyt I have mixed feelings about the concept of radically changing yourself for your crush. On one hand it's kind of pitiable, on the other it shows just how strong your feelings are. On one hand it feels fake, but on the other hand it's just a "going bigger" version of what we all do every day. I myself am very much into "I am who I am, what you see is what you get" . . . but I'm aware that in a way that too is a performance. And even I make some compromises; I don't say everything I think, some of the things I think would hurt people to no purpose--what's the point of refusing to be fake just to be an asshole? And on top of that, I'm always trying to act like a somewhat idealized version of myself, in hopes of gradually turning the mask into reality. If you're interacting socially you're fake on some level, that's how it works.
I've seen a few "high school debut" manga where the MC did a makeover on themselves, lost weight, got contacts, stopped obviously doing otaku things, and came into the new environment determined to be a popular person . . . nobody ever faulted them for it much in comments even though they were totally misrepresenting who they "really" were. The difference with her is she cares so much about one person that all her social fakery is devoted to being someone for that one person. It feels weird to me but I'm not sure I'm in a position to judge, or at least not nearly as much as I'd like to imagine.
