Ultimately, Hayato had to make a difficult decision. He could continue relying on the AI and producing popular, formulaic webnovels, or he could strike out on his own and find his own voice as a writer.
In the end, Hayato decided to take a risk and strike out on his own. He realized that he didn't want to be known only for his ability to predict popular trends. He wanted to be known as a writer who could capture the depth and complexity of the human experience.
It wasn't easy, but Hayato found a way to incorporate his own ideas and voice into his writing. He continued to write popular webnovels, but he did it on his own terms. And in the end, he became a better writer and a happier person for it.
