   This should be considered a story where the protagonist is dragged into the world of his own novel because all the characters suffer tragic endings. He can only return to his original world by changing the ending to a happy one for everyone. The protagonist has the ability to rewind time and foresee the future, but this comes at the cost of his lifespan. He also has a somewhat cyborg-like quality, is almost absolutely rational, and somewhat indifferent. The author's writing is decent, the plot is okay, though a bit bland, and the transitions are a little weak. Overall, I felt a slight sadness throughout the story.
