    Anyway, after reading various Fanfic and have drop lots (6 out of 10) of the story because SI MC is broken immersion by telling Cannon Character truth, like telling future plot (mild), how they died (hard) and most fatal is when SI MC tell know them from Fiction.
    Like the author is running out an idea and decide to put a stop-gap before the next act or whatever... besides telling them it was kinda odd...

    Almost like a random person came to you like your best friend and tell you in the next 20 hours there will apocalypse event. when you ask "how did you know?" this person says you are a fictional character from a show. unbelievable right?

    In fact more believable if The SI says they came from a higher dimension that able review event like from a book, and he stuck here for unknown reason("security" worm fanfic di that)

    Anyway, what did you think?

    I think fanfictions are usually not very immersive in themselves. I do agree that the author tends to make it worse by bringing up the original plot development. The thing about telling characters they are in a novel is by far the worst and most unimmersive thing in fanfiction which I enountered far too often.

    I'm more wondering why people around the SI//transmigrated person aren't wondering why the person they known had a sudden shift of personality?

    Yeah, it is a big plothole in actual light novels and usually left with surprised people but accepting it.

    At least in fanfics they create a new character where the transmigstor hijack the body and start from the scratch, and when they hijack a character body they try to come up with an explanation.
    Well at least that's how I found it in the stories I've read so far
