He was the Tamer King who held the fate of the world in his hands.

We’ve all seen the trope: reincarnated as the villain in an otome game or RPG, the protagonist uses foreknowledge to avoid doom flags. But what if the game you’re trapped in isn’t a hit?

Findings suggest that the “Tame” skill functions as a metafictional tool for resource accumulation, enabling the protagonist to bypass scripted defeat.
