Prologue

[ Survival Methods of a Hypnotist ]

This is the name of the novel I've read in the public library during my middle school years. It was my escape from bullies.

Don't be fooled by the catchy title. It was overall a trashy book.

Kaven Eralis, the main character, is the weakest person in a world of OP characters.

'Common, right?'

Honestly speaking, he wasn't weak. He actually had an interesting ability. Hypnotism. The major problem with Kaven was that he was just too stupid to the point that it pissed me off whenever he was mentioned.

In other words, I was pretty much pissed of whenever I flipped through the pages of the book.

Kaven is a character that carried a huge sign that says 'I am alive because I'm the protagonist!', people call this sign plot armor. But throughout the story, he slowly gained power through connection and survives that way. Fin.

'Gained power, my ass. More like he gained cards that held power.'

Then when trouble shows up, he uses these 'cards' aka supporting characters under the name of connection like a shield and they are the ones to fights the problem, not Kaven himself.

'Is he playing pookymoon or something?'

No character development.

His ability isn't even used most of the time.

Truly trashy until the end.

"So frustrating!" I yelled, not minding the stares I got for it. "It's called 'Survival Methods of a Hypnotist' for a reason!"

At this rate, they should just change the title to 'How the Hypnotist Survives Because of Luck.'

BLAM!

I placed the book down on the table after shutting it with frustration. I can't help but feel angry at how Kaven lived his life. Not that I hate the author, but his character became a waste.

'Geez! There's a limit to using plot armor for the main character. I mean, if I was Kaven then I would've been more creative with my ability.'

But even though I said that, I didn't think that it would really happen.
