He did something really clever there. He altered the story by making the automata be the ones seen, not his face. So now he has successfully removed himself from the story, even if he is still very much involved in the story.
It was still pretty ridiculous how he needed to alert Liner's family on purpose, to recreate the game event. If this had been a real operation, the parents would have only noticed later, maybe even days later, that the someone had broken into the warehouse. As much as he wants to rely on the game knowledge, things just don't work similarly in real life and scripted games, so he needs to do weird things. At least those two living dolls are incapable of reporting anything back to Justus.

game event has still not ended, they are supposed to be defeated by the hero as part of his start in the game, he can still be found as I doubt he will sacrifice those 2 brainwashed poor people.

i'm curious to see whether these changes will matter, or whether he did something unnecessary. he doesn't wanna turn out as an enemy but still decided for the 2 other figures to be discovered.

It's not so much about realism or a real operation as it is trying to establish a chain of consistency and predictability. Even if things don't work out the same (presuming the parents were supposed to die there instead of be incapacitated), it's better than just running hogwild with whatever makes things easier in the moment but having zero idea what may occur in the future. If Liner had zero idea about who'd have done the theft and they were too efficient, he can't predict if Liner would even become notable later instead of letting his parents handle the sword hunt. You see it as weird, I see it as him tweaking the timeline, since the game's fate has already tried to rear its ugly head in the face of vast alterations.

Also, that such a thing was necessary implies that the original story did not have someone competent enough to manage them to do it stealthily.

Having a confrontation incapacitates the parents, controlling the number of deviations to plan around.

Of course, this doesn't cover OTHER issues MC should've accounted for...

It's so funny to see that he could've just taken the sword. No one was guarding it whatsoever. :pacman:
I thought the original route was the cause of his demise. Them not being seen will ensure the mc never knows them and by extension, won't know if they're the enemy the next time they meet.

To add onto this you also have to remember that he wants the big bad to lose and the scenario has liner fighting him, he needs to give liner a reason to go on his journey in the first place.

“I sure hope we don’t become enemies in the future.”

I wonder how you could ever solve this with near perfect knowledge of the world?

It always bugs me that the protagonist in these stories only shows creativity in making the same events happen. I would love a MC that just says “hey I could have written this better “ instead of slavishly following the plot and treating people like npcs.

I don't understand at all pages 9-10. First MC wakes the guy up, then he gets hammered down to sleep, and then he's investigating the noise? Make it make sense.
Nvm, they're two different people.

He can't. He is already at the limits of what the Narrative is allowing him to do. Yes it is unnatural that he can't just fix things himself. When he tried, whatever force that is pushing the Narrative forcefully knocked him unconscious and frog marched him into a cell. Shortly there after it then proceeded to railroad him so hard the Orient Express was practically tattooed on his left ass cheek.

So, just like his enforced speech patterns, Harold is stuck playing marionette puppet till Liner can bring Justice down.

I am hazy about those details, but even taking that for granted introduces new problems. If an unseen force is controlling his actions, even down to his ability to speak, which will violently correct events if they get off track…what exactly can he accomplish within the narrative? At best he just decides how he dies.
