Okay, I can generally get behind quite OP characters as well as questionable characterisations in fiction. That said, with so little left I don't think I can finish the story.First of all MC is so s*upid that I am pulling my hair. She is the author of the novel she transmigrated to yet her actions demonstrate minimal feelings towards the characters as a creator. Furthermore, Spoiler
she is still hasn't realised that the female protagonist has lived through the story already. You would think that as an author she would have been more interested in not derailing the story/understanding what went wrong in the story she in the beginning was very adamant in keeping on track.
[collapse]Besides that she is incredibly OP but has no personality. I'm not against ML leading because that's set in the synopsis but she cannot even decline her own agent. SpoilerIn the beginning she is adamant on not changing the story according to fans' wishes - where did that determination go in the story?!
[collapse]Because it is repeatedly emphasised how author has deepest understanding of their story, it is incredibly annoying how everything just happens to the MC instead of her taking the lead of change based on her knowledge and understanding.I just want to point out having recently read Vicious Counterpart Isn't Competing Anymore where the MC is OP, has low EQ and wants to please everybody but doesn't grate my nerves - it isn't simply the set of characteristics but how the author fails to justify and be consistent that makes me frustrated.Shortly about romance: the ML lead is beyond creepy, which would have been fine if there had been substantial character growth. As it stands there is no romance but rather obsessive need. But I suppose that is what the synopsis was trying to hint at...About the sibling relationship: the guy is incredibly s*upid for someone who is claimed to be experienced and savvy when interacting with the circle. But as one of the redeeming relationships I forgive it.About the antagonists: Spoilerlike previously said, MC does not do anything to counter them. Rather it is ML who solves everything on his own initiative. I am strongly of the belief that the words used for creating romantic competition would have been better spent in developing the relationship between MC and ML to more healthy direction.
[collapse]All in all, I feel like the characterisation really let down any potential the plot (based on synopsis) could have had. I am sorry I didn't read the reviews beforehand because I am left with frustration and disappointment and couldn't even finish it
