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

    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.

        I'm one of those guys who isn't masochistic enough to endure tons of shit to reach some candy.
        You know, character growth and everything is good, until it based on something. There should be some conditions, that'll catch your attention, to make you wanna read more and expect development.
        Otherwise... do I even need 20 chaps?
        Haha.
        I'll better go and read something that don't make my eyes bleed.

            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.

                ...and?
                '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.

                  Ok. I already said everything about it.
                  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

            Wow.
            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.

              Also, how do you expect world-building to be good after 20 chaps?
              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.
              Can't be bothered to respond to you anymore so this is the last message, ill just watch you get abused by the others for my daily entertainment.

                  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.

      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.

      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

        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.

      soon, there are no clear signs of who the female lead is. It seems the author is still undecided on who it is seeing how many possible routes are open for the mc to choose

          Uh, like I said, no clear fml. He has spoken with some females but its more of a "I know this guy/girl" relationship where yall only greet with short conversations when seeing eachother but yall not really close as friends even.

      according to discord, romance will be there but slow. Right now author doesn't want to add drama to the story. Romance will eventually come.

    As the synopsis said 40 chapters in the start are info dumps but if you get past it, it's pure bliss, the novel is so entertaining.

    After reading this story till the last chapter I can only say this.
    This is a story that gets better the further you go.
    Although its still early, usually, novels go from good to bad the more you read.
    However, this story is different. It goes from decent/bad to good as soon as you hit 60+ chaps
    No more info dumps.
    Decently paced story.
    No OP protag.
    I love it.
