I caught up with the manga and something that is more in the realms of semantics crossed my mind.
"This is something that can be said about all the games."
"The goal is not to strike fear into someone."
"And it is also not about taking revenge on somebody"
"Beato does not commit murder with the intention of pleasure."
This might be overthinking it, but of course the goal of Yasu/Beato's game is none of these. The goal is to make Battler remember about their time together. That does not mean though, that revenge or fear cannot happen within the game.
She might not have started the game with the aim to take revenge, but that would not mean that certain events wouldn't drive her to act in a way that might be considered revenge. Just as much as her game might make people afraid, while it is not her initial goal.
It would be completely in line with the fact that she does not murder for pleasure.
