The action sequence and pacing is also odd. Story itself is interesting. Wish the MC was anyone else though.

It's pretty good, with a pretty interesting concept. Whatever's behind towers emerging 'plagarizes' his novel that he wrote, and made it realty, giving him the offset of being able to ...kinda be like a spirit caller, of his characters? He's limited to minor characters who barely have names at the start, like Random Gate Guard X or Weakest Side Priest type characters, but presumably he can do actual badasses later on.

Anyway, the MC has a pretty cutesy design (which isn't bad, helps balance out the huge amount of 'edgy' MCs out there), but he has a tendency to be really annoying at times. He kinda pulls out plot armor when needed, his overall training and abilities covering for most other situations... and then sometimes just acts absolutely stupid.

I DO like the issues that are brought into being, dealing with how he's got the knowledge of his own novel, and therefore the fact that like the ideal hero (who he wished he could be, thus wrote) had a really terrible past. So he WROTE this guy... who's now a living being... to have a terrible past, aka he 'played god'. So like he doesn't want to admit to the guy that he WAS fictional, and that the MC gave him his absolutely tragic backstory.

Also, for example, the demon summoning cult was simultaneously brought into being when his novel went live. So like mass terrorism, demons, and curses, all stuff from his novel, is now in the real world. It very much gives him a reason to not be a bystander - he has to clean up 'his own mess' (not that he's really at fault). Problem is that he's such a mentally-weak-willed person that it's mostly just played for angst, rather than used for action or motivation.

I'd give it major props though for not being a terrible SI novel or anything. If anything, I'm sure his novel would've been a massive success if it managed to get published.

Overall, pretty good. MC gets annoying to me, which prevents me from enjoying it.
