Question on Labeling/Identifying myself

Hi!!! So I actually had a bit of a question and think this place might be the best to ask this since I feel like I AM in the Asexual spectrum but have trouble with finding the right label. I've considered that maybe I'm Aegosexual but I feel confused about the "disconnect from oneself when fantasizing" part.

I do enjoy erotic content (fanfiction/books) ESPECIALLY where I can imagine myself participating with a character I like and I do have a libido, just not towards any real person. This is mostly animated characters. Characters who have actors don't really do anything?? I think it might be since it's to close to being real unlike animated characters. The thing is that when it comes to real people and thinking of having actual sex instead of scenarios in my mind I feel SO uncomfortable!! I feel like it has to do with the fact that fictional characters are so unattainable and I could never ACTUALLY have sex with them that makes me able to fantasize and be turned on by scenarios where I participate with them but idk.

I already knew that I fell somewhere in the Asexual spectrum since a while ago since I've never felt sexually attracted to anyone before so this is mostly me trying to find a label that fits me better. The closest labels that I find fit were, like I said, Aegosexual and Fictosexual but both talked about a "disconnect" and fantazising about OTHER people which I can do! But I often prefer reading things were I can see myself in the story/participating.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
