Thus readers who like fast pace and very OP MC from start might dislike this novel. Reader can expect more macro economics than micro economics since this is building a kingdom/country instead of running a business. Also, MC will not have OP skill or ability but will balance it by making use of his knowledge and authority as a king. It is my first time ever to write a novel so to be honest, I use AI(GPT and Blackbox.io) to enhanced/rewrite my writing. However the idea, world building, concept and everything else is written by me and me alone. So reader who enjoy 100% Human work I am sorry to disappoint you, however I don't use AI by giving it idea prompt and copy pasting the result but I write on my own then I use AI to enhance my writing style and making it more enjoyable to read. Thus the writing may involved AI but it is 100% human idea and concept. Hope you enjoy!!!!

She ran away to the scariest, most abandoned street in a haunted neighborhood named Hukon, driven by a desire for a comfortable life. While also being all alone in a ghost hotel, she decided to write novels, but little did she know how much it would change her life by meeting the male lead from her novel. ML: -"Jiah Mi, why are you playing with my feelings? I love you!" The clingy male lead looked like an abandoned crying puppy, pouting lips. Jiah Mi: -"I don't play it. It's a boring game. Now, go away." She said with a calm, cold face, avoiding him. ML: -"Do you know I hate reading, but I love reading your novels?" The male lead didn't care that she didn't want to hear him and kept bothering her, but she did like being complimented for her author work. After all, it made her a little happy every time someone said she was a good writer. ML: -"I like the main character. He is handsome." Jiah Mi: -"......" ML: -"But I don't like the female lead." Jiah Mi: -"The male lead does." She wrote her character to love the female lead from love at first sight. ML: -"That's not true. I love the author." Jiah Mi: -"....." The male lead laughed, watching the author's blushing red face and red hands, embarrassed, looking away, mad while she was trying to hold her temper. (Why is he saying stuff like this so casually?) (Did I write him to be a player?) But the male lead only had his eyes on her and confessed his feelings to the author all the time. Jiah Mi: -"God, please help me!"
