This was… so trippy… Like… Hmmm… How should I explain this? I found myself inside the novel, where the main protagonist was also inside his own novel. Did that even make sense?
After reading The Novel's Extra by Jee Gab Song so many times I lost count—novel, manhwa adaptation, and back again—I ended up in this bizarre situation, living through the story as yet another extra. Sigh… and… daym… What on Earth was Chae Nayun doing here? What was this heroine doing there when she shouldn't be there?
I mean, who knew I had to navigate through a plot that wasn’t even mine? I had to dodge the main character’s cringe-worthy misunderstandings and somehow make my way through all these side quests and secondary character drama. I could already feel the narrative tugging me toward an inevitable romantic subplot, despite it being as subtle as a rock to the face.
Author's words, "I apologized to all those who got baited by the romance tag… because if they thought they were signing up for a whirlwind love story, well, they should have buckled up. It was going to be a slow burn with all the grace of a two-legged cow on ice. Also, currently undergoing a rewrite with hopes of creating more arcs and continuing this fanfic... cuz apparently, I still didn't have enough of it."
There is no romance. Lol I got baited by the romance tag. The author setup the MC with yeonha so many times.I thought she Was the love interest. But no I guess, she got kissed by a devil. So yh just a head ups for anyone wanted ng to read this. The story is nice though.

This is a really good fanfic of The Novel's Extra. The story starts off with the Mc
Hyon Hyung
Following that the events are mostly similar to the Canon up until
Yeonha's event
Chae Nayun's regression
Secrets are told, various truths unfold and unlikely allies are recruited.
I reccomend giving this story a try, if you find the review helpful and want to read a TNE fic that is different from others.

Plot wise this is better then The Novel's Extra. Since everyone kind of agrees fell hard when it comes to resolve a certain incident. I can't exactly talk about this story until I talk about the original. The original the Novel's Extra left a lot of people unsatisfied on it conclusions. It left a lot of characters without a good resolutions. That why we write fanfiction, we want fix the mistake the author had made.
This is a fanfiction, yet it fixes a lot of issues the originals has. Better plot. Better character interactions. Also it is fun to read. My recommendation read this gem of a fanfiction.

Keep in mind the current chapter of this review is the latest one on it's made date. I would also recommend reading TNE while learning at least a vast majority of the major characters before reading this. This would be about the first half of TNE before reading, but keep in mind you will still get spoilers as TNE is a big novel.
In my opinion, this is the best TNE fanfic I have ever read. That doesn't offer much value as this is the only one I have read, but I really don't see any fanfic that could be better than this one. Well received from me after reading the first 208 chapters.
The TNE characters are made really true to original, and there are cases where there is even better char. Development AND char. Building than the original. This is an original story as much as you can think of, considering it's fanfic exterior. This is what kept me as this fanfic remains true to TNE until the author works his magic and expands even better than the TNE author, making you think, "This changes everything.", making it more significant than just "Oh, the MC is also here, extra nobody in TNE, nothing else, keep going.".
Through worldbuilding alone, he makes a non-canon rendition that makes the TNE plot expand beyond it's borders, literally. You could say I'm guilty of having enjoyed this more than TNE.
The MC isn't the only thing changing the TNEverse, as there are changes that occur alongside his transmigration. And it's not just focused on the MC, being that the other protags have a significant role also, and it's really put that way to you through the writing and worldbuilding.
The MC, imo, stands out as a unique existence that you could really see being a true protagonist as much as Hajin, despite being an outlier. He'll make some of you cringe, because of his personality, and the author will introduce jokes of our culture often through him, but his development will be well made and he would seem weak at first, until a certain amount of time where his unique abilities will have you convinced he's someone significant, along with build up on his personality, alongside expanding the other protagonists indirectly so.
There is no better way to convince you why to read than to read the novel itself, as it hooks you almost immediately. (I am really confident about this because I have an ADHD brain.)
There is a lot of things that can be done in a short span of time in the novel, cluttering a lot of chapters as material, seeming fast yet slow pace at the same time, with timeskips that leave you feeling not much to complain about. The author in particular is a very accomodating one, as well, imo I would let him cook.
Now excuse me, because I am going to have to heart all the chapters all over because I normally read Scribblehub incognito, before seeing everything to see, to make a review on novels, as well as make comments. I won't make the same mistake anymore on this one though.
