I know these are a dime a dozen, and have been for a long while now, but there's something relatively novel about how straightforward the MC is with metagame knowledge. Wondered about an "NPC" who comes from content he's barely interacted with twice and then goes back to flagrantly abusing his familiar strats for literally everything else.
The half naked lady on the cover? Complete bait aside from a couple of pages. Yeah, all of this playing around will come to a head when the prologue is meant to resolve itself, but for now he's a couple of ideas away from considering arbitrary code execution through interpretive dancing or something.
