    I just watched this YT video that talked about pataphysics as it was described in the SCP universe. The works that I've watched/read that I can closely associate with it are Re:CREATORS and Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. I may have forgotten some titles, so I'm asking if you guys got anything to recommend (JP, KR, or CN and NonBL/GL).

    I don't exactly mean it like that. Pataphysics is really hard to describe so in this context, I want a story where the main characters, at least, know that they are fictional characters whose world narrative is based on the whim of an author or group of authors.
