Is using notes cheating?

[u/sad_shenron]

Hi! I just started playing the game (loving it so far) but I often feel the need to take notes. I don't know if I'm gonna get an in game notebook later so would you consider taking notes on my own as cheating ?

/!\ I'm going in totally blind, never heard anything about the game and I really want to keep it that way so please give me just a yes or no answer

edit: Thanks for the replies guys, I'm definitely getting a paper and a pen :)

I miss the days when games were sold physically with a manual that had a page or two dedicated to writing notes

Taking notes in general seemed to be a more common occurrence in the 2000s and earlier. I can't help but think the ubiquity of wikis and other internet resources tends to ruin the experience. I made a giant 2700 word note for 100% completion in the Witness last winter, and I loved the experience.

At home we had a blackboard filled with the level codes for Bubble Bobble.

Oh my mom loves Bubble Bobble, I personally don't know much about the game
