Still only a few chapters.

It’s pretty cliche. Writing works from earth and having the other world people go crazy over them. There’s quite a few others on this site that do the same thing.

Despite how standard it is, it looks pretty good. It’s decently written, the books have to be adapted for the otherworld, and the main character has an actual motivation for his actions. There isn’t a random harem either.

Also, there is a transgender character in this that is treated with dignity rather than played for laughs.

The main issue I have with this novel is that it follows the typical 'introduce modern invention to medieval people' formula. The formula being; MC writes a book and people go wild over it. Then the next few chapters is spent on the reactions and/or misunderstandings of people, with it usually being a lot of undeserved praise for MC.

It's bearable in other novels of this style, because the MC usually has to reverse engineer modern inventions with magic, or at the very least use their own skills/science. In this novel... more>> the MC is just plagiarizing other people's stories (hence the title) with minimal changes to fit the landscape.

It honestly just feels kind of distasteful? Like people in the story praise the MC as a god, but it's just completely undeserved. <<less

This is probably the only story, I'd say, respectfully handles otherworld plagiarism of famous literary works.

The reader is not exploiting the works for purely monetary gain, he is trying to change a culture with what had inspired him and the entire world during his previous life. Because hindsight is 20/20, he is able to roughly steer the course of change in a direction... it might not be the direction he intends, but it's still technically steering. Okay, he's not really in control, and the dice land as they will.

Even if... more>> the respect comes from him not really having any hobbies aside from reading, it's still better than someone diving right in to make money for the sake of making money and getting them bit- *ahem* lady friends. <<less

Just a heads up. This story is being translated on cyborg tl now. There's around 100 chapters there in total. Wanted to make sure people don't think it's just not being translated anymore.

I've read plenty of stories where the protagonist is isekaid and passes off popular works from our world as their own creations. It's an interesting premise but I've actually never seen it used quite like this. Most of the time those stories are about the protagonists rise to fame and success. The drama and tension comes from petty... more>> and jealous villains sabotaging them for s*upid reasons. And like 90% of the story is just face-slapping. The MC's are often really proud and arrogant despite the fact that they're taking credit for work that other people did. They rarely put effort into their plagiarism, which is kind of silly since you couldn't just pump out our world's stories and expect them to succeed in a completely different world.

This story is something completely different. It's like a technological uplift story but for literature. The MC isn't after fame or money. His ultimate goal is to spark creativity in others so that he has new interesting stories to read. And he works hard for this goal. He isn't just copying stories from memory. He does research and talks to experts to try to adapt stories to this world as perfectly as possible. He doesn't get arrogant or self righteous about his creations either. <<less

Pretty interesting so far, although still only a few chapters.

Well it's already shown in the synopsis how people react and think of him and his book, so I would think you know what to expect reading this.

For those who don't like story where the MC got praised for everything the MC do, then beware, because although it's not shown yet, there's a telltale sign of that type of development in the synopsis and in these few early chapters. Although maybe it's still too early to decide if that's truly the... more>> case <<less

In my personal opinion, compared to other novels who attempt to do similar work to D, this novel shines much more brightly than some that I won't mention here. The main character is entertaining, quite funny also, and with a comedic sense of background, and quite light-hearted, as DMC is a wiser who, like the title says, plagiarizes, but his actions also stop adding culture into the world that DMC is in. In summary, quite entertaining, light-hearted, and quite funny, in some parts.

A good idea and a good start, but then it gets worse and worse..

When writing Don Quixote, some attention is also given to the process: researching local novels and explaining that the main character was a translator and therefore remembers the book almost word for word, but then no attention is paid to this. I wanted to write a series of books: bam, boom, done!

Separately annoying is that although the main character is a complete plagiarist, he passes laws on copyright and is presented as almost a genius, although he... more>> uses literary s*aves_ with all his might. Also, the initial motivation was to see more new books, but instead of letting new authors grow, he feeds them stories from his world and releases plagiarized books at the same time as local authors release their own. As a result, local authors are not recognized and are forced to follow the style of the books he plagiarized. <<less

This novel is cool. The premise is that this guy wants to increase the quality of writing in the world by adding the literature of earth. The joy of this novel is seeing the whiplash of society after introducing thematic responses one after another. For example, right after publishing don Quixote which lovingly skewers chivalry stories, he introduces dr jelly and Mr. Hyde, which was brutal and suspenseful. He struggles with doubts ruining the originality of the world, by kinda colonizing their culture with earths. He does try to cultivate... more>> artists by bettering charity and education. Which gets him misunderstood as a saint. <<less

This gripped me by my nether regions, as crass it is to say. This novel, is written with love and affection for the novels used to further the literature in the world of the novel. And, its just so good.

The way it goes in depth enough with each of the novels the protagonist chose, to show what he did with and what his thought process on why they were chosen for literature.. It's loved is all I can say.

Very decent, fast-paced novel with no trouble to rise MC. However, this was an easy read up till ch 39 (currently no more translated chapters) and I'm looking forward to more. I enjoy this genre a lot and it was fun despite some imperfections.

One major issue with isekai author plagiarism type novels is how shallow they read given we know everything is stolen. Read literary house dad to see just how shallow a constant stolen work type novel is.

This one avoids that problem by not having the MC chase money, status and general material gain. The books themselves are a tool for the MC to accomplish something else.

If you enjoyed I'm really not a demon's lacky or other misunderstanding type novels, then this one is for you.

This novel gives me goosebumps!

Especially the Little Prince arc.

Reading this feels like there's a thin veil draped over everything. The characters each like a missing piece of a puzzle that somehow still fits, yet something feels off. Even Ed, the protagonist, doesn't seem entirely human. True to its purpose, the novel exists only to spread literature. But in doing so, it whispers unsettling questions.

The dragon from myths one of the most majestic and gigantic beast yet Ed question it, most reptiles with slit eyes are small. If nature follows patterns, then why does a dragon contradict them? WHAT IS EVEN A DRAGON? And God is He truly a divine ruler, or just a Big Brother, watching, guiding, and controlling from above? Then there's the universe itself vast, filled with endless possibilities so why, out of all the countless possibilities that could have risen, why humans is the only one that survive? <<less

Its honestly a fun decent story. I've read many novels in which MC gets isekai then uses their knowledge of their old world/past to introduce new things to their new world and taking credit for it so its not new but this is kinda light hearted and entertaining.

MC doesn't really do it for profit, he more like wants to spread creativity and encourages people to be expressive in their writing, especially in literature, which I appreciate a lot. The reactions of the people are a bit over exaggerated like how... more>> they praise his 'works' so much, its like they think it was written by god, but despite the over reaction, its fun.

MC technically has decent knowledge when it comes to writing and has a surprisingly good memory to have managed to plagiarized many famous books which majority of them are really thick.

Its not really for everyone as it can seem a bit shallow since he is obviously just plagiarizing famous works and gets praised for it as a genius but it can be fun to read as long as you don't take it too seriously. <<less

Absolutely loved this novel. The novel takes place in a universe in which literature and performing arts are at their nascent stage. MC serves as the vehicle to introduce literature by 'plagiarizing' popular titles from earth. On a personal note, kinda happy that a few of my favorite novels were featured. Highly recommend it!
