The Outcast Writer of a Martial Arts Visual Novel

A writer seeking to assist a junior colleague, offering non-malicious feedback in a requested tone, finds himself inexplicably possessing the body of a villainous groom destined to die on his wedding night at the hands of the heroine. This transmigration plunges him into a wuxia world where he relies on his sharp wit and eloquent persuasion, dubbed "talk no jutsu," to navigate dangerous situations. As a former writer, he leverages these skills to survive, though he shows little inclination towards martial arts, a significant disadvantage in this setting. The narrative follows his struggles to survive chapter by chapter, often with plot conveniences guiding his path. The female lead characters are described as typical dere-archetypes, serving as targets for his manipulative exploits, which form a spectacle for the reader. Despite the cunning protagonist and unique premise, some readers find his characterization frustrating, feeling he embodies the villain more than a transmigrated individual, and question his lack of growth or genuine disorientation. The story also features a riddle element, with the answer revealed to be "Hope." The novel is noted for its potentially reversed chapter order.
