That clears it, thanks. The sentence “I’d rather spend time with friends than strangers.” just confused me a little because I wasn’t sure if you were comparing time spent with friends vs. strangers.

Time spent with fiction when it’s about some coherent body, be it a video game, book, tv series etc. Usually, the more time you spend with that coherent fictional body, the more immersed you become which means you can enjoy it more.
