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

    WoW hahahaha, bro, I already read a large part of the novel and I am reading the comments and I can say several things:

    1- this novel is at most another of the heap and does not deserve to be the first in popularity of any category.

    2- I think that those who defend this novel to the death, either have not read many novels or are paid, because I already said it does not have anything special that deserves attention.

    3- the details, characters, world construction are quite copied, it is as if he took the character models from another novel and exchanged some things.

    4- those of the comments defend the novel with "the author said that the first 40 chapters are bad" or "you only read a little so you cannot comment" etc., I can only say one thing, it is complete nonsense, I have read novels that They make you a world construction, backstory of the MC, direction of the story and others, in just the prologue or a few chapters, in some they even do it in 1 single chapter.

    5- if you have something nice or interesting I did not find it and to be looking for it I think it is more worth looking for another good novel.

    6- read "the novels extra" is the same but better.

      47-71 is interesting part ur looking for
      Also nobody is defending this novel to death we just don’t understand how u come here reading the novel expecting it to be different then what disclaimer says.
      ...also author himself said his novel was inspired by novel extra and that its far worse then it.
      Try reading part I pointed out and see why ppl like it
      If u don’t like it it just means u have different tastes then others
      Don’t insult other readers that genuinely love the novel.
      Reality check
      World doesn’t revolve around you, just cus u don’t like it doesn’t mean other will have same opinion

        Wow ya no se puede comentar nada aquí, creo que no insulté a nadie solo hice mi crítica, y reitero, para que gastar un par de horas de mucha mierda para encontrar el dulce que dura muy poco? Qué le ponga descargo de responsabilidad no lo hace instantáneamente soportable, osea si fuera entendible si sólo es información de más pero no, el mc es mediocre, la historia no tiene rumbo aparente, los fondos son forzados, entre otras cosas... Y si hay quienes 'defienden a muerte' esta novela, osea en los años que llevó leyendo novelas en distintos sitios web y creo que está es la primera vez que leo una discusión tan intensa

          soz can't speak Spanish and I can't be bothered to translate.
          I'll repeat what I said before, give the book a shot until 47-71 chapters.
          If you can make it till there and still feel the same way ill just shut up.
          Most reviewers here say the same thing, the beginning is crap. Even the author himself said it.
          Therefore, as you have been warned beforehand, it is only natural that you should have more patience.
          ...else what is the point of reading after being warned that it is bad at the beginning?
          It's like going to the sea that had a shark sign and not expecting there to be any shark. Since you chose to swim in the shark-infested water you should expect there to be sharks.
          Your point that you shouldn't read further since it sucks makes no sense since you have literally been warned beforehand that it wasn't going to be good.
          It's like if someone tells you that the beginning of the TV is shit and you still watch it expecting for it to be good.
          ...you gud?
          Had you not been warned, you had every right to just crap over it. But you knew and still willingly read it.
          What does that say about you?
          Either way, all im telling you is to read 47-71 and see if it's still as bad as you think it is.
          Also, the amount of support this novel is getting goes to show how well received it is from people. Especially since this is a pirated site where author can't delete reviews. Oh and, this is not the only pirated site this novel is doing well.
          Either way, imma just ignore you from now as this ridiculous talk is actually drowning out proper reviews that don't crap on readers or author cus they like a novel that you don't like

            You know, I already read more than 100 chapters and it still seems mediocre to me, as far as there are many people who support this novel, I don't know Rick, I've been on this site for a long time and I can tell who are the users who have read multiple novels because They are always commenting and in this novel I have not seen anyone comment, at least not in this section, so I can only infer that those who have read it and continue to say that it is good, that the disclaimers are a justification of how bad it is. It is and that it gets good after many chapters, I can only assume that they are bots or they have not read many novels, frogs at the bottom of the well as my Chinese friends would say

            If it is not enough, I will give you more reasons why the novel is stupid or perhaps the author ... At the beginning it gives too much information that is later forgotten, it explains about so many characters that later you forget which is which, there are so many events happening that in the end there is no fixed course, I do not understand why the author begins to describe so many places at the same time. Sometimes if he is still confined to the same city, because he describes so many characters at the same time if he does not even interact with them, because he hints of so many situations if he does not want to address them, and for the love of God, because you do not get rid of the damn characters that They only serve to f#ck, "if you kneel I forgive you" "damn you stared at me, I will kill you" "Do you dare to touch me? Do you know who I am?" etc etc, it's stupid and boring, if I want to read that I'm just going to read a generic Chinese novel from 5 years ago ... Another thing is that it gives descriptions of a modern world with magic but it doesn't really feel like one, the descriptions don't make you feel immersed because the author doesn't even describe them well with the excuse that the mc was vague at the time of writing, but in the same way he likes to be changing the scene all the time

              Now this is the perfect example of someone who thinks the world revolves around himself
              Thinks that novel sucks and assumes other are just bots and people who haven’t read novels
              Let me tell you this most people here have read way more novels than you\
              And they still like it
              Sorry to break it to you but no the world does not revolve around you my little sugar candy
              Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean others shouldn’t like it
              If u were right why da hell is it doing so well on most websites?
              That’s just proof enough that it’s mostly u
              All top novels will have that one guy that doesn’t like it and ur that guy
              Sugar candy baby
              I’ll repeat it again
              We are not you
              If u don’t like it it’s you. What are you some kind of god that has the same tastes as everyone?
              I’ve read TLM LOTM and basically most novels on this site and I still like this
              ...so yes little sugar candy baby boy
              The world does not revolve around your little candy ass.
              Calling people out for not sharing similar tastes to you is the dumbest and most self centred thing someone can do.
              You are pathetic
              My already low opinion of you just fell even more

                TLM and LOTM are my favorites. TLM just feels a bit bland for me but LOTM is f#cking fire. I think this novel has potential maybe author should rewrite the first ~40 chaps after finishing it tho.

      I apologize if you didn't like it.
      Most of your points are indeed true and there is no denying it.
      This originally started after I read novel's extra and I was sort of writing a fan fic with my own twist to it so yes, a lot of elements are indeed the same. (copied)
      I've tried changing it up a bit around 40+
      ...but considering that it took that long for a change to happen your review is very understandable and I'm not mad about it.
      Thank you for trying.

        Yes. I think most can agree (for those that have bothered) that after the ~40 intro chapters, the story does start to pick up and the uniqueness begins to shine through. I, for one, plan to keep reading and hope you use this story to develop an even better one afterwards.

        Thanks. It's always great when a writer grows with their work!

        Bro, I understand you, I have also made manuscripts of various stories and I know how difficult it is to develop them especially when a model is copied but you don't want it to be so similar, but you also have to ask readers for criticism, they always help you, especially veterans, but I don't see you doing that ... you know, it is not necessary to put too much information to develop the story, you can drop clues along the way, so you don't give so much information that people can get confused, I mean, if you are going to develop a character, you can put a description of the character and an event that you do with the mc, it is more memorable, if you develop a scenario you can mention a real world scenario as a reference to the reader, and when you make an interaction between characters do not put so many monologues because one is more interested in the character not in what the mc believes about the character, do not carry your protagonist from one place to another because you do not understand the purpose to In the end, what I hate about novels is that a protagonist is incompetent, literally your MC is a person who knows about how the world develops, and does not know a better way to make money than to bet on investments at the expense of future development. of humanity (the first 30 chapters), you don't know how difficult it was to try to read so many chapters seeing such a vague protagonist

          …BRUUUUH are u like dumb?
          You def have not read 100 chaps like you claim u did or else you would’ve easily noticed how the author is improving and listening to advice as there is less info dumps
          And if u still say story is similar after 100 chaps u are delusional
          Man, bring ur BS out of here
          ...keep writing ur sorry manuscripts that no one will bother even glancing st

          you do not understand the purpose to In the end, what I hate about novels is that a protagonist is incompetent, literally your MC is a person who knows about how the world develops, and does not know a better way to make money than to bet on investments at

          I understand your point however, you must keep in mind that MC was a reclusive NEET before any of this. He was not a genius with a military background or anything of the sort.
          He was someone whose parents died and he failed to get in the university he wanted and fell into depression and isolated himself at home.
          If he suddenly has the grand goal of becoming a hero or saving the world, now that wouldn't make sense.
          I've kept it vague on purpose at the beginning specifically for character growth and development when events happen.
          After all, if a reclusive neet suddenly wants to become a hero it would just not make sense. He needs to go through trials and events to develop those goals and stuff.
          Also, he does know of a better way to make money, it just happens in the later chapters. But, investment was the fastest method he had available because developing something that can make money can take a very long time, hence why the investment was the fastest possible scenario at the moment.
          Also, there is no such thing as making money without affecting the plot. If you plan on making bug bucks, regardless you will affect the world and plot. That's especially if it involves a lot of money.
          Regarding advice, I do listen to them, its just that for the first 30 chaps or so I had no readers so I had no idea where I was going wrong.
          Either way, thank you for the feedback

            Oh so the MC gradually develops unlike those MCs that already even if were NEET in last life become godlike characters once transmigrated or got powers i mean i agree with you man i still haven't found a novel to this day where MC's transformation/personality change after he got powers or get isekai'd

            well whatever am saying I'll just say I have hope after reading all comments on this novel till now i think this novel will be one which I might truly enjoy i don't mind his slow transformation
            if it feels natural thats all that matters to me no matter the number of chapters
            (I haven't started to read yet will be reading first chapter after this comment)

    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

    I can't help but say that I found the content entertaining and engrossing, went through Total 160 chapters in a day, hungry for more..
    Initial 40 chapters is like an information dump, it is redundant however necessary in order to establish however would follow later.
    The author gets better in his execution as the story progresses ...
    Scope of improvement is indeed there..
    Since he is new, I believe, in time he would develop as time goes... I hope he does not take things too casually and ends up being the same MC that he is writing about.. That would be a bummer, won't it? Jokes Apart, I wish him luck and best wishes ..
    The story has a lot of potential, plot elements are engaging, there are few pot holes and sometimes the author rushes over things which should have been explained more, and elaborates things which should have been concise , the prevalence of the later is more than the former.. Overall 7.5 out of 10...

    A proper warning to my curious fellow readers. If you want to read this novel be prepared for torture. Well simply put it gets to a point where it's so good that you feel the updates are way too slow.. and that's like 2 chapters a day sigh

    The beginning is a bit of an arse though.. but it gets so much better when MC stops being a bystander and actually starts interacting with the world. It's worth a read but at the same time if you like it..well you'll somehow hate the update rate thereafter so be warned. bossgif

    Imo, good MC should have self-respect and ambitions(or some worthy goals at least).
    This one sucks so hard on both so I don't really sure I'll ever like it.
    Being involved by accident? Getting powers just to reach survival minimum? Nah. I'll pass.
    So-so world buildng, MC's plain personality and your typical characters don't make it any more attractive.
    As always, something very mediocre becomes hyped for no reason.

        Otherwise... do I even need 20 chaps?

            You don't get it, huh. 5 mins ago I said 'It's good to have character arc, but you need smth that'll balance situation and catch your attention', and you wrote... this.
            Guys like you are typical audience for this kind of novels.
            I've read hundreds of novels. I dunno what is development? Ha. Sure I am.
            I'm just completely certain that there'll be nothing good for me. At least, nothing worthy of uncanny infodumps for hours of reading, cliche characters and one more copy+paste world.

            Am I an idiot for you? You can think so, if it comforts you.
            What else can I say. Untill you have your joy from reading, it's fine.

            I don't even called this novel 'bad'. It's 'mediocre'.
            One more chewing gum, which I don't wanna read, 'cause it cannot even spend my time without me being brainscrewed.

              Suit yourself I’m not forcing you to read, I just find it ridiculous
              It’s like I’m saying a soccer team is crap after they lose two matches.
              Or saying a player sucks based on his first two matches ever -played.
              Patience is virtue
              Plus there’s literally a *read before reading novel* disclaimer that pretty much warns about all of the things you said.

                'Cause of disclaimer I should be like: 'oh, so it was'? I read few chapters, decided that's enough for me and made comment. It's not like I blaming author, no. It's not this bad and I stopped before my heart is broken and mind raped. :D
                I clearly understand you don't force me. You just can't.
                As you found my review ridiculous, I thought that your reaction is quite funny.
                For me having some argues in comments with guys like you is much more interesting.

                  you are being ridiculous, he is right.
                  'as always, something very mediocre becomes hyped for no reason
                  You can't just say that and expect no one to argue against you after you only read like a couple of chaps.
                  No one is forcing you to read it, but there is a reason as to why this is hype.
                  And for someone who read it till the latest chapters, your comment is nothing short of laughable.
                  Still, you have every right to disagree as you are indeed right about first chaps being bad. But its understandable as MC was like a reclusive neet.

                  Thing is... even(I doubt that, but everything possible) it gets better... I saw many times they saying: 'just hold on, it'll be better, just w8 few chapters'.
                  But I f#cking never saw someone told to w8 100 chaps :D

            Aren't you mad dog?
            Only 'hyped for nothing' from my review could be questionable.
            The other is just bare truth.
            Also, I never denied I read more than 20 chapters.
            I call it medoicre. First chapters suck huge dick.
            World building and characters are nothing special.
            I have more than enough reasons to drop it, rather than hope that'll be miracle somewhere 80 chapters later.
            GOOD novel wouldn't make you suffer or let you bore, no matter when, you know?
            Arguments about 'author said it bad at start' never make it better. It's like for you confessing in being asshole never make you better person.

            And you, freak, call me delusional? Well, now it's interesting.

              tsk, tsk, tsk.
              The only reason you are getting abused by everyone is because you are judging something based on few chaps.
              Characters are plain are boring?
              ...and you expect them to be developed enough in under 20 chaps?
              World building mediocre?
              ...only read 20 chaps and expects full details of the world.
              It's like saying a restaurant sucks because the appetizer is crap.

                  Well, saying something isn't good because development isn't as good and fast as "Lord of Mysteries" is like saying a car isn't good because you once drove a Ferrari and it was so much better. There are books that will seem to be perfect for you and there are books that have their problems, it is important to understand when something is not done well or when it is just not your type, remember that everyone always sees things from a very small and biased view and that is why it is always important to leave room for self-reflection. You can always be wrong, maybe if you just read 5 more chapters you would say it was worth it and like everyone else, you would find it ridiculous to judge the book just by its beginning.

                  But really, the fact that "Lord of Mysteries" is an example of world and character development is unquestionable. Perhaps it would be better to say that "Lord of Mysteries" is an example of how development can be exciting, and not a picture of how development has to be, because if you want everything bathed in gold, you might feel sad even when surrounded by silver. If you judge every book you read based on the "Lord of Mysteries", you will end up disappointing and not enjoying what they have to offer.

      Ok. For you I'll use a special trick:
      Example.
      You have a burger.
      There is nice medium-rare marbled beef inside. With soft truffel sauce, fresh tomatoes, whatever you like.
      But on the edges it smeared with shit.
      It's just happened you don't have knife or smth and can eat it only from the sides.
      Question is.
      Will you eat shit to reach tasty center?

      It's my martial dao to stand against the majority, so I'll stand with you against these demonic cultists. They never give any good arguments, and can only say you're a fool. Not only that, but you provided comedic analogies, and concrete story references for what's good. Something severely lacking from their side.

      To everyone else. I'm going to keep reading I guess, but I'm at ch. 30, and this is really cliche. The things that piss me off in order SPOILERS


      ANYWAY. Ya'll be sayin it improves post 40. Ima give it a chance, but I won't be surprised if I don't like it. The negatives are really piling up.

        Hey, fellow daoist. Don't you think that we are the real demonic cultists here?
        Because I feel like I dared to say something very unorthodox: criticism of the novel, and now the whole Murim quickly gathered Alliance to purge the evil: me. With 'Disclaimer' as their divine scripture.
        Man. 'Cause of this guys now I hate disclaimers so much. It's such magical thing, like crossing fingers behind back, so nothing that comes after doesn't count.
        I wonder what would happen if I'd put one before my review. Like: "DISCLAIMER! I'm the guy who don't like this novel. It'll be criticism and negative emotions only below. Don't read it if you are from righteous path."
        Nah. Nothing would have changed. Except they would be too ashamed to use so shitty argument. Still they can repeat smth about me don't reading more than 20 chaps.

        Read up to 71 that's when you know story is worth reading or not. (47 is like the cool scene that makes you want to stay longer and 60+ is when you're hooked)
        Anything before that is not that good, pretty bad
        Also, most of the points you made out are pretty much clarified in the later chapters like why he isn't using his family connections or other stuff.
        Also, the reason why everyone is clowning on the guy above is because for those that have actually read the story to the end, his points are nothing short of laughable.
        ...if you read as far as I told you to read, you'll pretty much understand why most people act like this.
        Plus he has been specifically warned before reading the novel, and yet he still read it. Whose fault is it?
        Had he not insulted pretty much everyone that liked the novel, he wouldn't have clowned as hard.
        ...and after you read to 70 and you still dislike it, it just means it isn't your cup of tea.

          I'm at 76 rn. What you say isn't without merit. It just really pains me when I read scenes like when he interacts with anyone of the opposite sex. Man is a total bitch. He legit let that Melissa chick dictate his actions when he went all macho man with that mob character...RIGHT AFTER HE MADE FUN OF THE MOB FOR ACTING LIKE A MACHO MAN. The man pops a boner after he first see's his ideal women that he wrote as an author. Scenes like this make me cringe.

          There ARE cool scenes. His assasinations and the dialogue that follows is great. Top stuff. I want more interactions with smallsnake.

          The Boulder is conflicted with his feelings while reading this. As of 76, it's a 3 star for me. Could be 5, but goddamn this man can't deal with sexy women.

            1. for melissa thing, it is explained that he is scared of her background and the fact that she will legitamely act on the thing she will say.
            He just couldn't be bothered to annoy her because of her background
            2. The reason he popped a boner was because Donna practices a 4 star seduction art. Wasn't on purpose, was just her powers [its explained]
            Other than that, pretty much nothing happens with any of the girls as there is no romance or any of the sorts in the beginning

      mhh, after reading your review I feel like the readers are being a bit too critical [and that's coming from author himself]
      (not saying that im not grateful that they support the novel - very grateful actually)
      It's just that your points are indeed true.
      That's exactly how the MC is at the beginning, and although harsh, there isn't really anything wrong with what you said as it is factual.
      He is ambitionless, he is weak, he is seeking minimum strength to survive.
      I don't see any element that is wrong with your statement.
      ...however, I would like to say that MC will have ambitions, but they don't come fast and will develop later.
      He does get involved by accident (but something could be at play, who knows, might be a spoiler)
      And won't just seek strength for minimum survival.
      Those were just his initial goals, but goals do change once you are in a place long enough.
      Either way, as the author of the novel, I feel like that there is nothing wrong with what you've said so don't mind the comments attacking you, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
      like i said in the disclaimer, I do understand the struggle of reading crap parts to get to good parts in the novel so im not going to ask you to give it another shot.
      I am though rewriting the first 40 chaps, so maybe once that's done i'd love it for you to give it another shot. (mhh...something ain't right, I did just tell you that i wont ask you to give it another shot and yet next sentence im contradicting myself)
      Jokes aside, although I don't get paid for trying to get people to read the novel on this site, I do want people to like it...and hence why i said all of that.
      I think I've said enough, thank you for your feedback, helps me for when im rewriting the beginning

    I already know this is gonna be a great novel. It's like my Spidey senses but for good reads. So I'm not going to read it. Yet. Maybe once it's like 300 chapters long, honestly that's the limit to my patience, if I were a stronger man I would wait till it ends, but what good webnovels ever f#cking end? Only a few, and it truly saddens me. See ya nerds.

    alright so i'm up todate rn (around chapter 120) and i must say that i really like this book. I'm literally obsessed with it and even though it releases 2 chapters a day i still can't help but be impatient from waiting cause it's just that fun and exciting to read. I advise you to read it and even though the first few chapters include info dumps it is nice to know what the world is about and I still read it very quickly. And after the info dumps it becomes a LOT better and you will definetely want to keep reading.
