Thanks for the insight! I’m not sure if you’re looking for my thoughts on this, so feel free to ignore them if you’d like. It's true that he can't control the plot, but that was never really his intention. He never avoided any of the key characters or let them just follow their own story, meaning he didn’t care too much about the smaller details—at least at first. After the difficulty change in the Night of the Reaper, he realized that the story didn’t just shift because of his involvement (which is natural when he does things not written in the original), but it also added elements that don’t make sense, even with his interference. For instance, why would a different type of Reaper-graded foe suddenly appear just because he intervened? It doesn’t make much sense for something to appear without any context, which is why he’s trying to streamline his approach more. I completely agree that he can’t fully control himself, and that’s intentional. I wanted the characters to progress naturally through the story. In my mind, Quill/Elias was suddenly "teleported" into this new world from the one we know, and I didn’t want to take the route of him instantly becoming a mastermind with crazy abilities. Though I understand if that’s preferred (I enjoy those types of stories too). The plot is a double-edged sword. The whole situation with Quill and Weiss already showed that the plot wasn’t his ultimate advantage, as there are many things he simply didn’t know about. In hindsight, the infiltration was a failure, but Quill’s initial thought was genuinely to find clues about who infiltrated the security system. He was simply too cocky and “not yet strong or cunning enough” to pull off what he attempted, and that’s true. Also, Elias isn’t trying to play the role of a villain; it just so happens that his character seems to be a villain. Thank you!
But doing so would derail the entire narrative.

TNE? I know the ending received mixed opinions, so I couldn't bring myself to read it through. I really dislike when a journey ends with something unsatisfying or feels incomplete. But I also heard the side stories are really fun to read!
Technically yes... It was a spontaneous decision at first, but as I developed the story before publishing, it has proven to be quite fitting.
In the prologue, it was hinted that some storylines remained unresolved, leaving Quill uncertain about the underlying details. Btw Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I genuinely enjoy reading it.
Major plot points were often left unclear, like how one of the main heroines became overpowered after her brother's death, yet the details of his demise were never explained.

I'm glad to hear that. It means a lot. Thank you! I hope you'll never be too disappointed, lol.
Thanks for the insight! It really helps me to gain a different perspective on things. As once mentioned in the previous chapters, it is indeed possible, though very rare, for an individual to undergo a second awakening. Whether Quill/Elias will be one of those rare cases remains to be seen... I also aim for a satisfying conclusion that leaves no bad taste. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to write this; I truly appreciate being able to read your review! For an author, the highest form of joy comes from knowing that readers are enjoying their stories, so thank you for bringing me this sense of accomplishment! Focusing on the psychological aspects of the characters is something I want to further explore, and I hope the direction will be satisfying! Additionally, I have extensive plans to flesh out the world and aim to do so in a way that is engaging and fulfilling. Thank you for recognizing the potential of this story as I do. I believe, if I manage to execute it well, it could be a wonderful journey. Have a good read!
...I wonder if that will ever happen. P.S. Thanks for giving me the flashback to this villain's menacing theme.
I'm sure that pre-transmigration Elias would have written a hate comment about your dislike of Weiss...
Weiss Licht was currently in the Simulation Capsule, a spacious, spherical chamber that provided her with realistic holographic enemies to fight and train against.

original Trapped Inside My Favorite Novel
Upon opening his eyes, Elias was confronted with a sight that was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar. He found himself trapped in a world vastly different from his own, where futuristic technology blended seamlessly with Victorian-era architecture. It was a peculiar combination, one that Elias recognized from somewhere. As the realization dawned on him, he couldn't help but wonder—was he really trapped inside his favorite novel? The thought sent a shiver down his spine. Who was this character he had transmigrated into? Not a main character, not a side character, not a support character—not even a background character! Who in the world was this Quill Nocturne?!34 Chs 68 Collections
Justice for Phil Bocturne! (Now I’m genuinely thinking of including a character with this name...)
