The Author's POV

The Author's POV

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 : Please read the *Read before reading novel* in synopsis. ======== Credit to _oinkchan for helping me find the previous novel cover Credit to Rengoku for his amazing edit of the new cover. ======== Discord : https://discord.gg/FNAKgfyky4 Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/TheAuthorPOV

Those who were born on Wednesday… “Theater: Book Me a Death Ticket” When people born on this day go to a funeral, they tend to witness bad events. Those who were born on Thursday… “Stairs: 12 Steps...Ghost Staircase” At night, do not look at the stairs, or else something might be there. Those who were born on Friday… “Reality: Dare the Living, Discover the Dead” There is a game for the living, but noted that it might take their lives. Those who were born on Saturday… “Holy: Soul Sacrifice to Spirit’s House” The ancient saying goes: think before you speak, as something the eyes cannot see does not mean it is not real.

Creator's POV

Creator's POV

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.

First - person POV can be great for horror stories. It makes the reader feel like they are the one experiencing the horror directly. They get to be in the mind of the character, feeling their fear, confusion, and unease. For example, in 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe, the first - person narration intensifies the sense of madness and horror as we are seeing the events unfold from the perspective of the unhinged narrator.

In a horror story, the POV (point of view) often adds to the sense of dread. For example, a first - person POV can make the reader feel like they are the one in danger. The protagonist might describe the strange noises they hear in the old, creaky house as 'I heard a scratching at the door, and my heart pounded in my chest. Every fiber of my being told me something was wrong.' This directly puts the reader in the character's shoes, experiencing the fear and uncertainty along with them.

Third - person limited POV is also a top choice. With this, the author can focus on one character's perspective while still maintaining a bit of distance. It gives the author more flexibility than first - person. In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', we mainly see the story through Scout's limited third - person perspective, which lets us into her world and her view of the events in Maycomb.

First - person POV can be great for novels. It allows readers to directly experience the story through the eyes and mind of a single character. This creates an intimate connection as we get to know the character's thoughts, feelings, and motives very closely. For example, in 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield's first - person narration makes the story feel very personal and real.

Limited third - person POV is another excellent choice. It focuses on one character's perspective, usually the main character. This way, the readers get to know the character well and experience the thrills and chills through their eyes, like in 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' where we follow Lisbeth Salander's point of view and get drawn into her dangerous world.

If you want to create a unique and immersive experience, second - person can be considered. However, it's a bit more difficult to pull off. But if done right, it can make the reader feel like they are the main character in an adventure, which is great for some contemporary, experimental novels.

In first - person POV, the character's internal monologue can be used to great effect. They can express their growing fear, paranoia, and sense of dread in a very personal way. For instance, the character might be constantly second - guessing their own sanity, which adds to the horror. The reader is right there with them, sharing those thoughts.
