why are you mad at thing that have not even happened yet lol

it's like you wish this turned into garbage just to be angry
It's the strangest thing, right? The prince has, if anything, been set up to be a recurring antagonist. His big turning character moment was realizing that his flippant arrogance ruined lives. Sana just nipped that in the bud here, and instead humiliated him publicly and privately.
Is he Handsome and Rich? Sure, but Sana doesn't give a single shit about him, so the idea that she will fall for him when he treats her badly is bizarre

Yeah, Sana has little reason to respect him even knowing she sped up his character development. "You don't get a cookie for treating people with basic human decency", and such. He's morally (chaotic) neutral, and it's practical to treat him like a prince, but I doubt he completely stopped being scummy and reckless with power, so he's implicitly threatening just by being interested in or attracted to Sana.

And I doubt the down-to-earth protagonist will catch feelings towards a flirtatious upperclass recovering narcissist. Even after Sana is inevitably forced to travel alongside the videogame storyline, it's unlikely he'll change enough to make their chemistry work, though he might support her secrets.

I hope the book gets updated every time she fixes something.

Aside from the cliché trope that is being set-up this chapter, I'm going to throw my hat into the ring and also guess that the next chapter will focus on the Prince looking for her in town the next couple of days or something, and her trying to pacify the situation again until it expedites the Prince's conscious actually forming.

Prince looks like a perfect 1:1 idubbz, I bet the prince will take on the heroine's last name too.

i used to appreciate the realism of shoujo having the girls go for rapists, but at the end of the day they're still just not engaging, good stories.

I could be wrong, but I read a lot of shoujo romance, and while all too often the MLs are assholes, he's not really the right kind of asshole, so he feels like a 2nd ML.

He screams your classic 2nd ML/male side character who used to be a huge jerk but turned into a tsundere simp for the FL. They're often the FL's brother or a guy who for various reasons isn't someone the FL ever considers a viable romantic interest (like a childhood friend she only sees as family, someone she holds enough of a grudge against that she'd never see him that way, or someone whose personality she considers too burdensome/annoying/extra to fall for).

My money's on someone else as the ML, maybe the hero, maybe another character that hasn't been introduced yet. Just because he's the first guy she met doesn't mean he's the ML, especially with manga they often take their sweet time actually bringing the ML in.
