(Original title: Literature Is the Only Way to Save the World)
What would you do if you discovered that the world you live in was nothing more than a novel? What would you do?
Wubei: Thanks for asking. I choose literature.
In a world that feels unreal, she writes a novel within a novel simply to find someone like herself and feel a little less alone.
What leaves her at a loss is that the words she considers dull and tedious truly move everyone and earn their heartfelt agreement. Everyone says they can see themselves in her writing.
[Wubei, Wubei, the beauty of sorrow for things, sorrow for the sorrow of others.]
Reader: Teacher Wubei is so lonely. Please let me stay by your side, keep you company, and take care of you so you can write in peace :)
Wubei: ...
This is terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! If the people outside are nothing but rotting mud after the rain, then these are vessels for the evil of this world, wearing human form!
#Shocking! Readers come up with all kinds of ways to beg for updates so they can get their fix!#
#Readers show up at the teacher's doorstep every morning to check in#
#Certain organizations buy up all the land around the teacher's home to drive property prices up#
#Official organizations spam the comments: Protect her!#
#Even the gods of Takamagahara join in#
Faced with this situation, what can she do?
Wubei packs her bags: Thanks for asking. Time to lie low.

And yet, before she knew it, Wubei's ideas had permeated the entire world.
1. Feel-good power fantasy, with a story-within-a-story setup.
2. Characters may be OOC, and the plot includes original settings! The female lead did not transmigrate.
3. The inspiration for writing a story within a story came from Yeshang's Bungo Stray Dogs fic, The Days of Writing Novels in the World of Great Writers. Highly recommended!
