Just a silly idea as to be an irony in my current wip: what would your thoughts be reading pages/chapter(s) of a novel that are presented in a way as to have originated in the story itself?
This is confusing but here is the application (in my case).
The antagonist in my wip is an aspiring author, who as a subplot, challenges the mc to write a story about their relationship. As my novel progresses, we begin seeing the mc's story intertwined with the narrators story, and the final chapter revealing that the book we're holding in our hands is supposed to be the same book conceived in the mc's world.
