@Mayura-chan I wasn't referencing you other than the part when you called the MC a "retarded fangirl" I was explaining that my preference would be that retarded fangirl compared to the story alternative of the sociopathic female lead who uses my corpse as "flavoring" for her love story. And I didn't put words in your mouth I was commenting on the "original timeline" of the story which our MC has read. Did you forget that she explains how each and every one of the other "potential love interests" dies due to falling in love with Ariel? And that basically Ariel mourns their death for the grand total of 22 seconds before going to snuggle up to her psychotic prince who helped to instigate their deaths in the first place? Remember our MC explained that in the original story one of the people literally dies protecting her. And she's crying out for the prince to come and save her.. not even paying any mind to the still cooling corpse of the guy that just kept her from being killed. That's right she doesn't thank the guy for protecting her as he's dying she just starts wishing for her prince to come "rescue" her. I mean there is cold and then there is Cocytus level cold.
So yes, I'd rather be dealing with a girl who is compulsively simping over me in stupid ways then the alternative of getting a crush on a sociopath whose crazy as hell boyfriend instigates my murder or downfall because I *looked* at her. Because really anyone who can be totally okay with a guy killing off his love rivals as a solution is totally out of their MIND. So no I wasn't "putting words in your mouth" I was just using the entire context of the story instead of just what is going on right now with the reincarnated MC for my analysis of the options *I* would have as a "potential love interest" in this story.
