[You're a willful, obsessive maniac, an obstinate stick-in-the-mud who insists on going your own way, a troublemaker who flips the table even when a story gets a happy ending. You don't care in the least, and you refuse to change, ]
"So?"

In melodramatic stories, there's always a type of person who's heartless and shameless, skilled at every crime from murder to arson. Yet after getting tangled up in a torturous romance, they get a complete whitewash at the end, with every crime explained away by one flimsy word: "love."
These tragic, darkened, beautiful, powerful characters wring tears from readers, while the righteous, upright characters become universally hated. The world gradually descends into an edgy, grimdark mess.
Until one day, a System that loved watching the chaos casually bound itself to a Host
Faced with all these melodramatic worlds, the Host does whatever they want, standing firm and refusing to play by the rules. They punch self-sacrificing do-gooders and love-brained fools, kick fence-sitters who take the wrong side, and race down the road of pure absurdity! From then on, the stories take a completely different turn.
Huh? You want to know what the System is doing? It's busy handing over the knives.
