Kim Dokja not only uses his unique knowledge, having read the original novel till the end, but also [[GenreSavvy certain conventions of web novels]] to his advantage. InUniverse, there's also a magical resource called Probability, which restrains character abilities to what would be "appropriate" for them, meaning too powerful magic costs much more and gets penalized by the Star Stream System operators to preserve the game.

And since stories affect reality, the more people they pinion, the more the narrative becomes physically true.
