Ok, I’m not going to pretend like I’m a big fan of the writing, but going through the comments it feels like nobody is actually reading what is being said.

Yes, the MC wants to avoid getting killed as Ultos but the only advantage he has is his knowledge of the game. If he deviates too far from the original plot then he loses that advantage, and he only just started the game’s prologue.

He has already made some strides to improve the general opinion of him but all that stuff up till now wasn’t relevant to the actual plot. His interaction with the heroine and his presence at the Mayor’s Diddy party is, that’s why he’s going through with them, otherwise he’d just completely change the game’s original setup and would be going into the rest of the story completely blind.

As someone who read a half chapter ahead in the raws, its a little less bad than it looks even if it's a bit contrived.

He does all of this, then he suddenly snaps into sobriety and starts larping as a "mysterious character who know more than he lets on" by bullshitting some deep quotes. He essentially wants the heroine to properly start her hero's journey by painting the image that all nobles are corrupt, keeping her safe even if it means making himself into a lame douchebag for now.

I get that he wants to be able to predict the future, but that is foolish given the most important parts of the story. You want to be Sieg? Act like him or help him. Heck, be a better protagonist and don't follow the general narrative. It is kind of funny that he can't see outside the side points to see the main arch. Oh well, it will be interesting to see how long it takes him to get it ^-^;
