Paper Man Writing

Others break the rules by understanding the rules and finding loopholes, while the protagonist relies on directly changing the rules. This is not "I am smart, so I found the bug in the rules", but "I am the one who wrote the rules, and I will change them when I say it" - the perspective changes from "the rule breaker" to the "legislator". At the same time, changing the rules does not mean you are invincible - every time you change a rule, the protagonist himself is one step closer to "turning into a paper man"...
