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 fist.

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 come flocking towards me.

The cheat items don’t come 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 come to regret these words…

Reader Disclaimer:

There are two MCs in this story.
1. The original MC of the novel
2. The author that transmigrates in 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 that has no ambition in the beginning but as the story progresses it will change

Also, there may be a bit of info-dumping at the beginning of the novel (at least the first 30 chapters), but there shouldn’t be anymore in the following chapters. Well…being a new author I may end up doing it again. If I do so please do criticize me and scold me. If you don’t scold me how am I supposed to improve the story? What’s great about writing web novels is that I actually can hear your advice and opinions. You are just as much invested in this story as I am, so please help me out.

Well…I would appreciate it if you don’t leave a one star…not that I can stop you

Also, yes, the novel is inspired by TNE (The novel’s extra) you may see a lot of similarities in the beginning, but for future chapters the differences will start to become more apparent. I hope you manage to stick through it. Also, don’t come reading this expecting it to be another TNE. In fact don’t compare the two. If you do, the flaws of this book will become more apparent as you read ruining the whole experience Collapse

    I noticed that the author is answering cometary so I wanted to ask I understand that you were inspired by The Novel's Extra and it's not bad because he is one of my favorites but why chapter 40 is COMPLETELY copied from chapter 17 in The Novel's Extra and will this be in the future?

      I copied the framework of that chapter, not going to deny it.
      But, it's cause at that time the novel only had like a couple of viewers so I didn't really care. Also why I am rewriting first 40 chaps so it will be changed.
      Either way, I think I stopped copying from TNE there. Don't remember it was so long ago.

      'Kevin and his friends' and Donna bitch knew his prowess. well he can't really use his 5star swordsmanship in Friendly matches as it is so lethal. It a swordsmanship meant to kill your opponent in one slash so yeah he can't use it.

        I would say technically didn't know, as Donna only knew of his strong power in the rank but still thought his talent was at like D level. Keep in mind, only Kevin and his friends had the notion that he had hidden his talent and his rank (obviously) to operate in the shadows. Donna still thought that Ren was reaching his limit in terms of power at the very least.

    It's good so far atleast. Just be careful not to f#ck it up (like my vamp system). You should be fine if you listen to your readers. Keep up the good work.

    I've been trying to avoid going to pirated sites to check how my novel is doing because I heard from others they are especially harsh critics.
    My weak mind probably would be affected hence why I tried not to go.
    Fortunately, it's not bad here...
    First things first, I don't mind you guys pirating the novel.
    I pretty much pirate read most novels so it'd be hypocritical of me to say otherwise.
    So enjoy, im not mad nor salty about it.
    Second, because you are reading this for free, I'd really appreciate it if you leave some constructive criticism for me so that I can work on the bad parts of the novel. It would really help me a lot.
    Thank you for reading.
    (Also, i really wanted to get that 100 review)

          Well, I am a little behind ~20 chapters (I like to binge read, not wait with baited breath) but I was talking about the one where he can change things. Like get more/guaranteed stuff for his "mana." He could change things so that he gets what he needs here and there.

          For instance (I think I commented in the chapter?) He is at one point looking for a rank C beast core with the MC and he could use his cheat on the very first kill to change the fact that he didn't get one. There are multiple times where he could get extras with this cheat. It could in fact be overwhelmingly OP, but he never uses it.

          I'm not disparaging it, just pointing it out.

            Actually, he can't do that.
            He is still to weak to properly change things in the book.
            I've not used that feature yet because he is still too weak to properly use it.
            Also, him changing the outcome of the 'core' would be a bit too much as that would make the skill a bit too broken.
            Either way, I appreciate you pointing this out.
            He will use the cheat, just that he is still too weak to use it at the moment (at least too weak to use it for anything useful)

      tbh, the mc steers away from the "cliche jade beauty magnet braindead mc", which i like, but you're forgetting one thing: hes a teenager and his hormones are firing up , so maybe i would add a bit of a moment where he gets a bit of the horny, and also some "rebellious teenager" moments, since the world didn't create a world for him, the body already existed, and he took over it. i have high doubts that the actual ren dover (not the author) didnt have raging hormones and the hornyeth.

      Can't Ren like copy the martial tachniques used by Kevin by reading and copying the training method or chant (if there's any) Kevin uses? It's not like all the techniques use memory transmission. The 3 star swort Ren use has a written manual, theoretically he should be able to copy Kevin's 3 star martial techniques too. Or is it just the red book has the same writing style as author Ren and full of or lack thereof descriptions?

      And how rare does Ren reads the red book? His sword art would have reached minor completion earlier if he just looked for hint in Kevin's training since he was too lazy to write the advancement method for sword arts. Kevin's sword art is already great completion. They're both swordsman for a reason. An illusion-based sword art surely uses psyon right? Like water/mist, heat/mirage, or light.

        Unfortunately not
        The reason being is because fundamentally, the sword arts they are practicing are different, Ren's focuses on speed and hence wind psyons, whilst Kevin's utilizes other stuff.
        Moreover, Ren's knowledge on psyons is far lower than that of Kevin's and so even if he reads he won't understand as his fundamental knowledge is lower.
        The same goes with swordsmanship.
        Kevin has practiced it far more than Ren therefore, the things he can do are not things that Ren can do even if he reads about them as his body and mind are not capable of achieving such things.
        It's like trying to understand differentiation when you only know the four simple calculations.
        No matter how much you read or try to understand, you won't understand it.

          In conclusion, Ren has no talent. Poor guy.

          Also, you only have like 1-2 paragraphs worth of info dump on magic and psyons. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem since magic is magic. But you chose to describe mana as something encompassing all elements into one unit. I mean, it's not wrong entirely since Grand daos in other novels can encompass many yo all minor daos. So maybe just shed more insight on psyons and mana.

            It is not that ren (MC author) has no talent, it is that ren was not born in that world to begin with, he does not know the basics of psion theories or mana is not native to that world, how can he understand something that should not even have existed In his original world, there is also the problem that he does not inherit the memory of the original ren (non-author)

              But the thing is, he is still the author and creator of Kevin. And at one point, he was proud of his creation. He should be clear of the advancement method for the swordsman. He can not know for mage, beast tamer, assassin, etc. But not for the swordsman. The swordsman is the heart of the story. And considering he only transmigrated before he wrote the ending, cemented that this things should be clear. The red book would have just been a clearer guide. So I relly think it's Ren's talent that is at fault. A genius would've been able to make an electric fan out of the blueprint for a wind turbine. Ren, can't even make a pinwheel.

                Actually, the answer is much simpler than you think.
                He's been there only for 7 months.
                Even if he had the best of talents, 7 months is simply just too little time.
                Plus, Ren was originally a book author not a swordsman.
                Even if he is a genius, he would still need to learn the fundamentals before his talent can actually shine.
                Like for the wind turbine example.
                If the guy has no knowledge on engineering and has only been exposed to it for like 7 months without any prior knowledge, regardless of how talented he is, there is no way he will be able to build anything

                  So we go back to the question, could he learn/steal/copy... Martial techniques/sword arts/movement techniques from Kevin in the future? Given though it is kind of a waste to use a divine item as such. But really Ren has lot of weakness. He has no short-burst movement technique. Escape technique. Reconnaissance, sleuthing, sneaking, spying technique (optional). His only Offensive sword art is a finisher move and can't be used in prolonged fights. Well, there is a defensive sword art but I'm kind of a firm believer of offense is the best defense and blocking is stamina and resource draining, especially since you keep pitting him with enemies 2 ranks above him and that defense sure won't hold. Also after attacking, he has to form a circle with his sword so there's a gap in the rhythm/flow.

        1. No simp
        2. No beta MC (Trust me, if you make him beta even a little bit people will hate it - just look at some of the comments in where the MC is a beta)
        3. Even out your info dumps
        4. Don't add too much filler
        5. keep a moderate pace (try setting like a 5 chap limit for every mini-arc)
        6. Get a good hook and make sure you write a story that you like.
        7. Probably most important, make sure MC is not stupid. Although it is hard, this is the most important part. Stupid MC = 99% chance of failure as readers will bash you hard.
        Every time you write a scene keep thinking of ways MC could've done the same thing easier or with skill at disposal or whatever external factor he can use. This is very hard because you need to put a lot of thought into this and hence why most authors end up accidentally making the MC do something stupid (most authors face similar situations)
        Those are the best tips that come into mind at the moment, as a new aspiring author.

      Author I feel like the story is very slow, I mean I am currently at chapter 139, and at this point, MC's position is not that much different from the beginning. He is still relatively unknown in the Lock, his company is nowhere to be seen, his mercenary group's power is non-existent, even the relationship with the protagonists is at the level of acquaintances. Overall MC is still at the same place where he started and knowing there are only 40 chapters left till I catch up. I feel like these chapters are not worth reading since the story will not progress much.

        Well yes.
        He is unknown in the Lock because he purposely done it that way. (will change after Immorra arc)
        HIs company is nowhere to be seen because only two months started since he wanted to start it .
        His mercenary group power is low because only like two months started since he started it like the company.
        MC relationship is still that of acquaintances with novel MC because in the fist place he never really wanted to interact with him 'disaster magnet stuff'
        It's changing though, especially since in the newest arc they spend 1 month together.
        In short, it is slow and not at the same time considering that at chap 139 only half a year passed.
        Slow in terms of number of chaps and interaction, and not slow considering time frame of novel.
        Either way, if you read till latest some of the stuff that you find slow will pick up.
        Like MC interaction with novel MC and other females.
        Company and mercenary group gaining more members and other stuff.

          well, I caught up author and although the story is still slow, I am looking forward to seeing how the dynamic with Kevin will change after they return... I am guessing that MC and Kevin will fight together against the sibling duo from the other academy in the completion. Anyways your novel is very refreshing compared to others where in order to make the MC smart he also becomes overly cold and bland. This is one of the novels I look forward to the most, so great job author!! joy

          PS- although I like Amanda's character, I hope the FML will be someone adult so we can see a proper relationship instead of the typical puppy love which normally has no development after the MC and FML get together. Donna FTW, no harem tho...please want
          EDIT- dump all the extra female interests on Kevin!! swindler

      So, I have been reading this novel like when it was still chapter 20 or something, and It keeps getting better, the one thing I could say is that, do not forget. A good example of something used once and never again was the VR in the first few chapters, like it was used then.... poof. Aside from that hmmmm, I will recommend somethinf kinda unrelated, but entirely so, if you could, get the hell away from WebNovel, not sure if you already signed their stupid ass contract, neither do I know the exact content of it, but if you could and I will say it to your face, because I do care, try to move to RR or something, I feel this story has to or will go into a path wherein you have to surprise your readers with things they have not even thought of, where mystery still lingers in the air, and Its gonna be hard if you have timed bomb next to you, since I do feel like even as a reader, the author does need to rest especially in a story that I feel will be really well planned out. -Meow

        Probablemente deberías escribirlo en español.
        Si lo traduces directamente a través de una aplicación, la gramática puede estar muy alterada.
        Sin embargo, hay una solución al problema, y es conseguir un editor que corrija cualquier gramática incorrecta.
        ¿Sabes que el autor de mis tres esposas es un vampiro? Lo hace. Así que quizás deberías seguir su ejemplo.
        (Aunque la mayoría de las veces escribe en inglés, sus editores le ayudan a corregir todo).

      Author, i have a few things new to criticize-

      I don't like what u did with everblood and Mathew in the arc after immora, ik u wanted to make mc not look omniscient and like someone who can loose but I feel like u have just created an excuse now so that u have a reason to justify the mc's plans always working. I wish there would be a loss where mc actually 'loses' something that he is not willing to sacrifice. At this moment it's starting to feel like another 'generic novel' with a good enough plot. I wish characters who AREN'T either 'pure support' or 'cliche old drunk guy who becomes a mentor and a father figure' would die...

      Secondly- why is there a monologue in the end of every chapter cause instead of building up hype its just making me want to skim through the whole arc...2 chapters of 'cleaning up' arc ended with the line 'its to clean up' and one after that ended with something along the line 'time to do a hardcore clean up'...I mean u see how its so much word count wasted right?

    honestly I don't know what to think of this novel, the MC keeps complaining that everything he wrote was cliché, with retarded characters and I don't know what else, but basically the story is like that, it's so copied to "the novel's extra" I don't know how it's going to be 'different' in the future, and it's silly how the MC goes from one place to another without doing anything really productive, it's like, you know what happens in the future and you know what the villains are but You don't do anything, I literally come up with dozens of ideas on how to deal with them early on without affecting the plot, but he decides it's better to let them passively accumulate hatred until he activates the villains in a chain (which is what he is having. complaining) the scenarios are forced, like the story of the protagonist of his novel, he wants to make it seem tragic and regrettable but it is only a pity how he tries to force it, there is no development in the details of the characters, he only gave them a background scenario and that's it. ... at some point I started to feel that the author is similar to the MC


    All I can say is You're just plain stupid. Read and comprehend the disclaimer dumbass

                Haha.
                Eng isn't my language, so I can make mistakes from time to time. I don't think there is something criminal.
                But you already HAVE your brain rotten to the stem. And no learning will fix it, freaky boy.
                P.S. If you don't get it, I hinted you are "kdumb"

                  So this is how it feels to argue with a child.
                  ...I see.
                  The level of maturity here.
                  Sigh.
                  I give up.

                  Pffff, ahahahahahhaha. Now you make me laugh. No joking.
                  The guy who used two absurd arguments for whole conversation again and again, ignoring any common sense, didn't making any reasonable point and keep calling me 'salty' while being the one who started to offend personally.
                  You. Of all the people in the world. Call me child.
                  Now I truly feel shame for this novel's author. It's a curse to any artist to have a fan like you.
