I liked the idea of this at first, but that was when the MC brazenly says he doesn't want a cheat skill so he can succeed with his karate, meanwhile he is supposed to be normal but is anything but normal and demonstrates absurd cheat level abilities that he wasn't supposed to have.
This is the equivalent of saying you will not use the konami code, but still have the game genie plugged in (is anyone even old enough to get the ref?). Real legit... or better yet, saying that Rei is just some nobody then reveal she's palpatine's granddaughter. Fucking shit writing.
