not really. i personally wouldn't consider it cheating because he's just watching the scenes more closely and experiencing it himself. at the end of the day, what made him a better actor was how he interprets and acts out the writer's intention from the script perfectly and that was something he gained from his 1st life by being a successful writer. the skill he was given wasn't really a skill directly to acting, it was still up to him how he'd use it. it's more like a skill that if you knew how to use, you'd gain an upper hand but if you don't then it'll remain the same.
Is it just me or are yall bugged that somehow it feels like cheating? I'm talking about the acting skill like I know it is given to him as a second chance i guess but idk (im still on early chapters)
