Yeah, I change my mind on the whole "grinding for xp" idea

Same. While we probably could create a leveling system that doesn't involve tabletop mechanics, I'm not ready to put in the level of effort that would require. So we'll shelve it for the time being.

Good question. To me he has still much to learn, even though he has the skills to defend himself, there are still things from his past life that hold him back. He realizes he is not the hero of the story like the one he created and perhaps the fear that he might die for real this time. He is still unexperienced.

What if he [i]doesn't[/i] realize he's not the hero of the story? At least not immediately, because he may not be aware that there are other reincarnations like him. And that could be an amazing story arc, where he learns that he won't be automatically handed everything on a silver platter just because he reincarnated; he'll have to work to become somebody, just like in the old world, and he'll have to confront the personality flaws he thought he'd left behind in the Old World.
