A world he created himself and a story he wrote, yet never finished.
He had become his novel’s extra, a filler character with no importance to the story.
The only clue to escaping is to stay close to the main storyline.
However, he soon finds out the world isn’t exactly identical to his creation.

So, characters...
Each have their flaws and pros that can overlap but they all have their own personality, wishes, drama, and events related to them. I understand how hard it is to keep up with all the characters and keep them involved in the storyline and yet the author did this beautifully. Even going as far as slightly cracking the fourth wall when Tomer was reintroduced in that one place because, let's be honest, she might be the saddest character among all, forsaking humanity, even when the main character had to die inside as he killed one of his precious characters. Chae Nayun's emotional breakdown is, if I had to find a word, powerful. And her emotions are wonderfully captured throughout the whole novel. Hajin, though, is very hard to grasp. He's not apathetic, that's for sure, his character is wholly suffering the whole second arc: him missing his parents, his killing of those he liked (obviously creating a hole in his heart), the desire to survive in a world he knew was on a straight line towards destruction and the newfound emotions towards what he realizes aren't ''characters'', but people. I really love his demeanor as he isn't like those characters that are extremes of an emotion (too hot blooded, too cold, too dense, overall s*upid), everyone in this novel, even the original main character feels real. A WHOLE lot of drama occurs around the real identity of Hajin. His origins start as a mess. How did he get there? Why was he there? Whose body is he inhabiting? How far will his knowledge of the future get him? Those questions all arise throughout the novel which is proof of the constant world-building that is being forged by the Author the whole time. But even though the characters and story amount to an already good match, the mechanics and ideas that are being demonstrated in the duration of the story just don't let up. Starting from a seemingly all-powerful tattoo to a character being shown as an immortal being seeking death for his sake and the sake of everyone around him, there isn't a moment you don't stop and think ''Okay... That's kinda cool though.'' This novel can't be called cliché in my opinion as, even if there is something similar you've once seen, you can feel in the Author's writing that this was all a big idea jumbled up inside his brain. It turned out great. In the end, here's my score for the seven core components of this novel; - characters: 9.5/10;
- plot: 9/10;
- point of view: 6.5/10;
- setting: 9/10;
- style: 8/10
- theme: 9/10
- translation: 10/10 For a total of 8.71/10 Of course if I wanted to rate each and every character, I could but unfortunately it would come with dozens of spoilers and I kind of don't want that. Read for yourselves and see what I mean.

- Story : The story is very well done. And the way it is written allows for an expansion of the universe. Honestly, the author could take any of the supporting character and write a book on them.
The story properly hooks you soon as you start, build up to a nice climax - and then slams the reader down... and just when the reader start to despair, the story swings around and shows a light at the end of the tunnel.
The only negative I can say is that towards the ending, the novel becomes a bit campy. There is a lack of tension at the end, considering the catastrophe that is about to happen. And really, its because each of the supporting characters has grown too powerful. But ironically, there may be an explanation to this.At the very beginning of the novel - we found out that the MC wrote an incomplete book - and gave permission to a stranger to do a re-write of his novel. Soon, the MC found himself living inside his own book - which is being re-written by the stranger. Well, since the MC wrote an incomplete book - the ending is actually a brand new addition written by the stranger. I'll just say that this stranger's writing ability is not as good as the MC.
Some did not like the girl the MC ended up with - especially because it feels like the MC kind of skipped the feelings from all the girls he met earlier. But the reality is:
In my review of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (OMV) - I noted a few things that is in direct contrast to this novel:
started out as a survival/squid game/battle royale story. however, 1/3 into the novel it switches the story to focus on the fact that this survival game is merely a gameshow for the divinities. New powers are introduced based on the strength of each person's story. Perhaps to be politically correct, the novel avoids ranking the power of each divinity. So in the one battle field, the gods of hindu may win the battle because their story is stronger in that particular battlefield. However, in the next battlefield, the angels of heaven may win because their story happens to be stronger. Because the rules are not set - reading OMV feels like as if the author simply makes things up as he goes along.
There are also a lot of nice ladies and the MC does end up with one of them, although the other girls do follow him around so it's confusing if he has a harem or not.
