One of the few stories it makes sense that the reincarnated villainess is trying to follow the novel. The ogFL is her friend, the one who defended her over all her lives. Liberata loves her, and never wanted her to die. So being told that her pursuing happiness means Leonie has to die, of COURSE she isn’t going to pursue the ML unless it’s a means to Leonie’s survival (which is exactly what ends up happening). Also, she’s clearly not in her right mind and not only knows this but states it multiple times. She’s doing whatever she can just to keep the world (Leonie) from ending, yet she’s a normal human being with extreme trauma who loves her friend and is falling in love but can’t do anything if she wants everyone to survive (except herself). I love that all of the main characters have so much personality, I love that even though they have their faults they’re still good people who we can enjoy reading their story and cheering them on, I love that none of them are OP and just doing what they can as humans, and I absolutely love the friendship between Leonie and Liberata, and the fact that despite all those countless deaths and lifetimes that friendship never broke.
