Food for thought

I don’t think the mc is particularly dumb. I just think the reason she’s acting like an airhead is because she’s been isekai d’ and that can be stressful and scary. She’s also afraid this guy might kill her at any second because he’s a psychopath and she knows how he thinks... it’s honestly a good thing she’s acting like she’s some love sick fool, because if this ML gets an inclination that she knows more than what she should, than he’d probably find a way to kill her.

    Also her goal is for him to trust her enough so she can take care of him directly. I don’t think ostracizing him and calling himself an insane mofo will exactly help her cause.

    yea. She knows that even tho she feels sorry for him, he is still drilled by the story to think and act like a villain. Shes gonna wear him down from the inside by acting innocent and break his barriers. If she acted suspicious, the villain will get rid of her

    Exactly! That's why I don't get why everyone here is pissed that she is "weak". Hell, I would like to see how THEY would act if they were suddenly thrown into some fantasy world and had to interact with an unhinged psychopath that they know could kill them any second. 90% of the complaining readers would die within 2 weeks.

    she have many card against him not to mention she from a better family so she doesn't need to fear him that much though she need to make proper measure to restrain him
    i think a girl like touka from tokyo ghoul or someone like haruhi would be more enjoyable to watch

    What proper measure? She is one girl in the presence of a mentally unstable man who could kill her any minute. Up till now she was mostly alone when near him. One wrong move, and she could be the next person he strangles. Also, there is not much you can do in a surprise attack. She was a simple citizen in her first life, and now she is a pampered noblewoman. No training whatsoever, be it physical or mental, to deal with dangerous people.
    Not to mention, that she doesn't have many cards against him. Everything she knows about his past is a doubleedged sword: she wants to save him, and she needs him to like her, which means that she can't just threathen him with the knowledge and she can't tell anyone else. No one would believe, and if they would, the ml would get thrown in jail or worse. Not something she wants.
    In truth, she is pretty powerless, she can only attempt to make him like her, and the only thing she has going for her is the knowledge of what could have happened, which just makes her more nervous. You would be nervous too, if you knew that you are trying to tame someone who could kill you if you made a mistake.
    A little side note, but I hate girls like Touka who act way too tough. Personal preference. No one is forcing you to read this manhwa if you don't like the mc. You are free to dislike her, but there is no need to say that she is "wrong" just because her (actually very valid) reactions are not your cup of tea.

    like her ? he is clearly trying to take advantage of clingy women (like what kira did to misa from death note)
    about restraining him she could use a trusty person like the maid and give her a paper and tell her if anything happen to her she should open it inside there'll be his name and his crimes and that's he is the culprit
    if any police man dig deep enough into the time he was kid and the time he was f*cked by men they'll find that he is the same person
    trying to show normal affection and friendship should be enough rather than blushing and crying 24/24h
    and try to teach him normal morale that should be enough to set him straight she clearly was okay with him smoking weed and didn't comment any further or give him a cheesy speech
    the way she come off is like a thirsty girl for his look because he doesn't know she know him better than he do as he never spoke to her
    also proper measure to restrain him is a mean of back up plan if she missed up i never suggest direct threat since those have bigger chance of back firing if one isn't careful enough

    I'm not talking about how he sees the mc. I'm aware, that currently he is only toying with her. By "like her" I meant that mc wants him to like her. She needs that for her goal.
    I agree with the letter-plan, however it's not particularly foolproof. It could be easily dismissed as nonsense, and the world here doesn't look technically advanced enough for the police to investigate his background properly. They most likely won't be able to go much further than the fact that he was "a homeless stray adopted by a noblewoman". At most, her death could be pinned on him. But then again, mc's goal is to save him. I doubt that she would do something that would put him in so much trouble, even if he were to kill her.
    And yeah, she is definitely not the best at making friends with him, but come on. She was already stressed before she got isekai'd, then she suddenly woke up as a different person in a fantasy world (at which point it's 50/50 wether someone adapts or goes off the deep end), and then she has to deal with an unhinged murderer, to whom she is strongly emotionally attached. She is all kinds of messed up mentally and in a tough situation. Don't expect her to act rationally and not have emotional breakdowns.

    about the latter-plan if push come to shove she can threat him if he really killed her he'll be found out because she told one of her friend about him
    which will lead him to back off because he'll only be increasing his punishment the world may not be advanced enough but she knew exactly where he used to live meaning people can still identify his face once his origin is revealed he'll be ripped from his noble status and punished for identity fraud and a possible murder
    so yes she has big advantage against him
    yeah she may be in strange situation but her approach to him need to be clever or else he won't change and will walk the same way he did
    as matter of fact he is still more likely to fall for her sister because the sister is kind and pure and isn't so pushy not to mention he may meet her sooner due to the fact she is her sister
    as his image of mc is currently thirsty woman with no shame who'll sleep on men house at night a very easy women with no value
