I'm going through some comments on an old blog and came across this dictation
of an interview that's gotten me a bit befuddled. The seiyuu's asking the
writer about what will happen to the seiyuu's character in the following year.

> 声優さん「婿でもいいです、この際」
>
> 作家さん「それでもありちゅーかありじゃないですか？ …どうしようか…」

The writer's wording confused me tbh, so randomly guessing I think it's
something like:

> Seiyuu: At this rate, he could even become a groom.
>
> Writer: That's possible as well, isn't it? What to do do...

If anyone could confirm/correct me with an explanation of what
'ありちゅーかありじゃないですか？' means I'd be very grateful.

question
translation meaning
The meaning of "ありちゅーかありじゃないですか"?
Sometimes people shorten 「ていうか」with 「ちゅうーか」, your translation looks pretty
correct to me :).

answer
* それでもあり: that'll be fine too
  * ちゅーか: contracted ていうか, which is a colloquial expression meaning "or rather".
  * あり: fine
  * じゃないですか?: isn't it?

Saying それでも implies there is other ideal options, and 婿 is not the best (See
this [answer about でいい and
でもいい](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/12485/5010)).

作家さん first said それでもあり, implying 婿 is a possible alternative which may be
selected reluctantly. Then he rethought it and repeated ありじゃないですか without
それでも, indicating 婿 may be a really good option.
