Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy

The novel "Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy" by TINYTALE follows a protagonist who transmigrates into a fantasy world with game-like elements, magic, and wizards, similar to a Korean hunter academy setting. Initially possessing a single rune, the protagonist acquires seven more, leading to the creation of a fraudulent rune called [Rune Hunter]. This special ability allows him to copy runes from defeated opponents. The story features a male protagonist who reincarnates in another world, possesses special abilities, and utilizes cheats like rune copying. He navigates a world with dungeons, a leveling system, and magic runes that represent skills. While the protagonist's stats and rune levels may initially lag, he must engage in significant training to advance. The plot, especially up to around chapter 190, focuses on his growth, dungeon runs, and conflicts with human traitors. Early in the novel, the protagonist is described as being similar to a "beta" character but becomes more adequate and interesting from chapter 190 onwards. He is a dense protagonist with several girls interested in him, and eventually develops romantic relationships, culminating in multiple wives and becoming a top hunter. The world design and skills are considered mediocre, though some ideas are noted as interesting. The novel is a first-person POV with potentially confusing names and a focus on the protagonist's hardworking nature and obtaining overpowered runes.
