Annotation:

This novel is a Korean webtoon, which is essentially the name of the digital comic industry in Korea. This story follows a typical female high schooler who one day realises that she is a fictional character in a comic. Not only that, she is only a side character with an insignificant and tragic plot line. Dissatisfied with her impending storyline, she tries to forcefully fight against her fate and rewrite her future to one of her own making. 

This comic is a character-driven and leisurely paced story with strong characters and an intriguing plot. While there isn't an official english translation available, there are several fan translations online. In addition, it has been adapted into a tv series (Extraordinary you) and won several awards including the Seoul Drama Outstanding Korean Drama 2020, MBC Drama of the Year 2019, and several best actors. For our western readers, this title is available on Netflix with english subtitles.
