I've read only a couple of chapters, but I want to write this as a disclaimer of some reviewers. It was said that it made no sense that nobody acquired runes because of repeated action. It's not that nobody acquired runes that way, as mentioned in chapter 2 there's someone who got a sword rune that way. I think it's because of different common sense between ours and that novel, as it's more logical (supposedly) to instead train whatever runes they got initially than to repeat an action so many times without a promised reward, so that no one (or maybe only few people) knows that they can get runes with effort, in contrast that runes are decided by talent as everyone believed in. But yes, I agree he got his scam rune too easily.And a review said that MC got isekai'd into a video game, and it'll make more sense if MC got isekai'd into a novel. Like, what, at chapter 1 author mentioned that MC is indeed isekai'd into a novel (but the novel is based on a game system), so maybe that reviewer misread or something. Edit: To be fair, in one of MC monologue he said that "If this creature had appeared in the original work, I would have already known the method to bypass it. I had almost memorized the patterns of dungeon bosses since they appeared frequently." So I'm a bit confused at this point as well, as the author specifically mentioned that MC got transmigrated into a novel, but the monologue doesn't make sense if MC didn't get transmigrated into a game. So personally it'll make more sense to me if MC is isekai'd into a game instead.As I said, I only read a couple of chapters so far, but I still write this as I disagree at some reviews.I will update this as I read more chapters.Update:That said, MC got a few plot armor at the beginning, which described as "Transmigrator Luck" by the author. The story is too convenient for the MC, and the original protagonist is just a plot tool for the author. A few plot points are not possible if not for the MC, but as you may know that he's not the original protagonist, so the original protagonist should be able to avert the crises too right? But no, as of chapter 28 51 the original protagonist is just a decoration.World building chapters are flawed, and just a generic info dump so it's boring. Sometimes the redundant description is too overwhelming that I had to skip a lot of things. Author's naming sense is horrible, or maybe it's just simply lost in the translation process.As I mentioned before, the story doesn't make sense if MC transmigrated into a novel. The existence of hidden piece itself is vague as it's more suited to be from a game instead, and a lot of information from the original novel conveniently is very helpful for the MC. It's like the original novel's author prepared their novel to help MC when he transmigrated into their novel. Doesn't make sense right?Just turn off your brain slightly while reading it.A lot of minus point to nitpick, but this doesn't mean this novel is bad, just that author should be able to deliver the story better. Generic story that's enjoyable to read, that's what this novel is. Hopefully it'll get better over time.Personally I think the term "duel" is not fit to be used in this novel, "fight" or "battle" is a better word to describe the prerequisite of the scam rune activation. Duel usually happen between only 2 people and only people. Sometimes MC fight multiple people at once and still got their runes, heck even fights with monsters still count.
