I think it wouldn’t be “or”.
I meant that freeter is a person/people who work(s) part-time.
By any chance, do you have the word “freeter” as a English word?
You're probably right about "or". Using "or" in that context changed its purpose into parenthesis. It's not specifically good English, but I see it used from time to time.

At the risk of showing my influences, freeter has become a word I know the meaning of previously. One of the characters in the "Kaicho wa Maid-sama!" anime is described as a freeter, with the subtitle note explaining what it meant.


Fortunately, there is one woman in this world who can control me.

Unfortunately for you, she is not here.
