The main character is dropped into the novel he wrote, as a side character not mentioned in the original story. He has access to SP ("Story Points") that he gains by having a significant role in the world; the more of an impact he has, the more points he gets. The world is filled with heroes, monsters, dungeons, and superpowers (called "Gifts"), as well as a sinister force of demon contractors, who oppose the "good guys." The MC, as well as his original novel's protagonists, are students at the Hero Academy ("Cube"). The MC soon finds out that while the progression of events remains the same, certain vital details are substantially different - foes are stronger, and situations become more challenging. In this setting, the MC struggles to determine his place in the story and develop alongside the characters he created.

Main character is the author of his novel and now he is living out the novel. I like the characterization and the emotions the characters go through. And the main character cares about making money. Some sections made me laugh a lot so there's some humour. I also like how there's status points and skills, just like a game.

the main character had to endure the actual consequences of his actions and didn't get saved by just explaining his pov because he did commit the mu*der of a friend's brother and no matter what his reasoning, it doesn't fix the fact that at the end of the day he pulled the trigger.

The main character is forced to kill the brother of his love interest whom he created to be a mentor figure in the original story. Whom he loved deeply as an author.

The author starts a Tower Arc that lasts for around 100 chapters. That's right, more than 1/4th of this novel is dedicated to a single arc of everyone in the world trying to conquer a megadungeon. And while a few of my favorite moments happen in the tower, and it sets up the next arc before the Tower arc is really finished, it really wears out its welcome. Around 50 chapters in you start wondering when it’s gonna end and about 70 in you start begging for it. Misunderstandings are barely ever resolved and more add up constantly. Still, the novel dropped from like a 9/10 to a 6/10, and was still enjoyable due to the built up attachment to the characters. It then has an ok arc, and then a pretty good arc that brings it back up to a 7.5/10 or so. It then has one of the worst endings I have ever seen. MC saves the world with his buddies and meets his co-author, then has to choose between going back to the real world or the novel world. If he goes back to the real world, the novel world ends. But if he goes back to the novel world, he is no longer the author, and just loses everything he got for it, including all of his powers and relationships. So he goes back because he doesn’t want his new friends to un-exist and he’s not super attached to the real world by this point, and then bums around for a little because he’s depressed as hell at this outcome. His co-author gives back to him his most important items and his power to produce medicine with his body and he becomes a pharmacist. Then there's kind of an asspull and people who have some sort of connection with the person he replaced in the novel start to remember him, but people without can never remember him. So all the girls in his harem come back and remember him and he gets with his Boss who he loved. But his best bro Kim Suho is never gonna remember him and he’ll never have 95% of his powers back, and it's really just kinda a shitty outcome for him considering all the sh*t he put up with.

MC loses his memories in the end. All that world-building found family bs just for that. Ending was very anticlimactic and boring? This mf literally sacrificed himself for the whole world only to be forgotten and for some dumbahh reason too. Such a sloppy ending that made no sense whatsoever

really unsatisfying and slightly sad ending. I was really looking for the ending because MC had a lot of secrets that would be fun to watch finally be unveiled for the side characters. The only thing that was revealed at the end was that he was the author of the novel, and only Jin Sahyuk, Baal, and bell knew. And the other characters memories were just wiped so Kim Suho also forgot. I was really looking forward to Suho's reaction. I was looking forward to the reaction to everything being revealed to everyone from when I first started to read this novel so it was really annoying to me. Also I absolutely hate endings where everyone forgets the protagonist at the end so the ending was even more frustrating to me. I really liked the characters in this novel so all their memories being wiped hurt lmfao, Yeonha, Boss, Rachel, Droon, Jain, Check Jungyeong, and Evandel were the only ones that remembered him in the end, I honestly don't care about the rest but what ABOUT KIM SUHO???! All those years of hardship and trials just for him to forget his good friend Kim Hajin. Literally if they included Kim Suho I would leave with a lighter heart but no. Give me back the mistletoe or whatever, you bastard scammer you never payed back the debt.

I give this a 3. 5 hahaha I am a sucker for Bland, boring, but happy endings. I hate the 'everyone forgets the protagonist trope' makes me want to strangle the author, so I am actually pretty generous with the 3. 5/5 sorry for the decimals since giving a three would make it seem very bad I added a 0. 5
