Before I forget, and to remind everyone again, this series is referenced from a game, a mobile game that I love. Reference not copy, as I only took inspiration on that game, and among them is the unexpectedness that it holds.
You might encounter chapters, or mostly most chapters where my characters keeps running and less fighting, that's because, like I said, was inspired from the game. In the game, even the lowest floor like 6 or 7, you will unexpectedly meet either a Lv 30+ monster, or a pack of them, or a dungeon, or a field boss, and I ain't kidding about that. In level 10, I lost my legendary items cuz there was a field boss and a lot of 30+ monsters .

So like said, I took inspiration on that and applied it to my series, which justify their reasons of "less fighting more running". But of course, there's still fighting + scheming in my series, it just that I made sure that monsters are superior to those adventurers.
And also, when you equip or unequip items, they simply stay in your inventory, which is why you see them either sleeping without them or walking without holding one. You can simply unequip them without saying "unequip".
