The Author's POV

The person whom the world revolves around.​​ The person who defeats all of his opponents, and ultimately gets the beautiful girl. The sole existence all villains fear. That is the protagonist. ​What about me?​​ As a failed author who had only one success throughout his whole career, I had reincarnated into my late novel. "This is it," I thought, as I tightly clenched my love. Did I just get reincarnated in my own novel? Is this where I reincarnate in a novel and become the protagonist? ​No.​​ Sadly it's not that kind of novel, as I reincarnated as a mob. The world doesn't revolve around me. The girls don't love flocking towards me. The love items don't love to me. "Phew," I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god I'm not the protagonist," I joyfully shouted as tears streamed down my cheeks. Wait, are you curious as to why I don't want to be the protagonist? I did forget to mention the most important thing when I was describing a protagonist. That is… ​They are calamity magnets.​​ I just died. If I learned something from that, it's that it really isn't a pleasant experience. If possible, let me live a long stable life. Thank you, whoever reincarnated me. I would later love to regret these words… ​Reader Disclaimer:​​ There are two MCs in this story: The original MC of the novel The author that transmigrates into the novel In the beginning, the author plays the role of an extra with no ambition other than quietly waiting for the story to end. He is almost like a babysitter that watches over the plotline. However, this will only be in the first 40 chapters or so, as he will soon be dragged into the plotline regardless of how much he doesn't want to. The MC may come off as someone with no ambition initially, but as the story progresses, this will change. Also, there may be a bit of info-dumping at the beginning (at least the first 30 chapters), but it should lessen afterward. Well… being a new author, I might slip up. If I do, please criticize and scold me—how else can I improve? Web novels thrive on reader feedback, so your input matters! (Though I’d appreciate no one-star reviews… not that I can stop you.) ​Inspiration Note:​​ This novel is inspired by The Novel's Extra (TNE). Early similarities may exist, but differences will grow over time. Please avoid direct comparisons—it’ll only highlight flaws and ruin your experience.
