I Will Kill The Author by Night_Crawler619

"In this world, morality is but a thin line away from depravity, and the most captivating tales are often shrouded behind the veil of insanity."

...

I was just an ordinary guy, living a dull and unremarkable life as an editor.

But when a maniac author killed me for rejecting his novel in a writing competition, I reopened my eyes in a modern fantasy world.

"Hmm? Wait, this world…."

But fate, being a prude little bitch, played a twisted joke on me.

I reincarnated into the very same novel that I rejected for the competition award, written by the very same author who killed me for it.

Not only that, but I transmigrated into the body of a disowned noble named Lucas Morningstar.

Lucas was a minor antagonist in a novel who served as a stepping stone for the protagonist and their allies.

Arghh….

Of all the people, I just had to be reborn as someone who was despised by the main characters the most at this point in the story?

B-But hey, with my knowledge of the future and understanding of the main characters, I can at least live an easy life!

Right...?

"Yeah, I can work with this!"

Or so I thought until I remembered the ending arcs of the book.

This world is destined for doom!

And not so long after, I started to realize that the novel and the world I transmigrated into might not be as similar as I had originally thought….

[Disclaimer: Caution while reading is advised. Tighten your seatbelts and brace yourself for a bumpy rollercoaster-like journey. Don't blame the Author if you fall from your seat while reading a plot twist. Thank you.]

AN: MC is NOT a villain, so don't expect one.

*The MC will seem a little bit (ok let's be honest, more than a little bit) foolish in the first 30-35 chaps but don't be fooled. I ask you to read till first 50 chaps before deciding to trash-talk the MC because that's where his borderline psychopathic strategist personality starts to surface.

    The first chapter decides the whole rhythm of the novel, sure you may say the novel is inexperienced and he's getting better but then this novel will have the same fate as many other novels which got dropped because the author got bored of it or wants to try something else.

    I read this novel on webnovel a while ago but couldn't even get through the free chapters. Lol if you expect me to slug through fifty chapters of a foolish and dumb mc before it gets better, your novel better be god tier

      Yeah, this trend is popping up all over the place these days. I don't get why authors think it's okay to drag readers along for dozens of chapters before things supposedly get good. It's like they're making excuses for their own crappy writing. And on webnovel platforms, if someone has the guts to call out this nonsense, they get bashed by the fanboys who can't accept that their precious story might not actually be worth the time. It's a sorry state of affairs, if you ask me.

        Maybe... Just maybe it's because Author is a newbie and has just started so he doesn't know what's good nad what's bad? Don't really think its a trend.

          I'm not sure if this issue has ceased or not, as I have completely stopped reading novels published from/on Webnovel due to this problem. The usage of AI tools for paraphrasing and artificially increasing word count has become rampant, and it has deterred me from engaging with such content. While I understand that new authors might need some leeway, this practice has led to them making grandiose claims, such as promising that the story will improve after a certain number of chapters, like 50, 100, or even 250. This trend is not new, especially in the context of long Chinese novels, where it was quite common to make similar promises, saying that things will get better after, say, 750 chapters, and so on.

            Most times, it actually does improve drammatically. There are quite a few where I saw that they became a lot lot better than the first few chapters.
            For example.
            LOTM.
            It took me 200 chapters to actually like it.
            Or TAPOV.
            It took me 250 chapters to like it.
            Most times its inexperience, world building that hinders them. Still, once things click. I enjoy myself a lot.

              I haven’t read these novels, so I cannot comment on them. Any previous remarks I made were based solely on my personal experiences.

      I differ.
      Most Author's on the platform are newbie writers who only just started writing.
      If the story actually gets good after 50 chapters, it means that author is slowly and steadily improving alongside his writing.
      It doesn't make them bad.
      It makes them inexperienced.
      And if they can steadily improve to a point where novel is good, then it means that the author is talented.
