dont think too much about it, just let your heart enjoy this novel. other commenters have said this well. reading "great at acting..." is like coming home after a long journey, like putting on an old, well worn jacket. you're on familiar ground. it takes tropes we've all seen before and thankfully treats them with a sense of respect; our MC isnt immediately op, and still experiences struggles along the way (though we know he'll always win in the end), and his foreknowledge is interrupted by visible consequences of the butterfly effect. this novel isnt groundbreaking by any means, but it doesnt have to be. if youre a fan of this genre, this novel is a perfect comfort read.
