Do anyone have plans to add their fictional version into their next novel?

If I were to answer, I would say "YES". Because I have designs, plans and role for my fictional version. Even I named him "Dr.Iron" because his ability is controlling the iron even he can magnetic the iron like magneto. But the side effect is pretty screwed, because he will hear a very loud sound like a bell rang near him loudly if someone hit the iron within 10 meter from him. But still, I added two more superpower. Controlling Ink and Becoming Digital Human which nearly made him inmortal. I like that style. His role is the main general and founder of "HDA - Humanity Defense Army" in a world full with annomalies. If you wanted to see him, let me know and I will make some plan for upcomming series after "The Youth Gang".

I've never thought about something like that. If I were to insert myself into one of my stories, I'd probably be a background character that dies offscreen. Never mentioned once in the narrative. But I'll know she was there.

Same lol.

Honestly... I'd probably be dead before my first chapter even happens.

Me: Just a character version of myself? I don't need to do that... because I am the world herself. I am always present at every breath of the narrative. I am Eldoria... a world that loved too much before she was broken.

Nothing planned. A lot of my characters share traits with myself, but none ARE me. Perhaps the closest was a character I killed off three chapters after introducing him, which is probably the fate of most of my self-inserts as, like that guy, they'd know too much about the backstory and make things too easy for the heroes...

Edit: That said, my fantasy world, Pyrroth, did, when I used it for AD&D, have a clan of trouble-making wizards with the family name of Selrahc. Only had one player catch that over the seven or eight times I used them... And that was Nworb Selrach, the second of the clan, and one most obsessed with video games he'd seen through various scrying devices and tried to recreate as dungeons.

I didn't mention about being a world, miss but you might built different?

I currently have 437 unique identity personas inhabiting my brain space. Every character I write is technically me.

I’ve always wanted to be added to my novels, however considering the genre i write in I wouldn’t really want to be any main character, in fact I’d just be a by stander or someone who comes in like one chapter and never comes back. And tbh I rather just not be in my book cause it’s kind of weird for me ?

I had a similar crazy idea once. I still don't know whether I should use it or not.

The lore from my world featured 14 primordial gods, based on the concepts of the 7 sins and 7 virtues.

I had the idea to hint at avarice having power related to creation. Then the readers could connect my pen name with the primordial god of greed.
This can give a certain chunnibyou realism to my world's existence. But in the end, I decided against using this idea. And in case there were any misunderstandings by the readers, I changed the names of the gods and made the god of greed a goddess.

Pride (Superbia) → Humility: Submissia​

Greed (Avaritia) → Charity: Donaria​

Lust (Luxuria) → Chastity: Castria​

Envy (Invidia) → Kindness: Gratia​

Gluttony (Gula) → Temperance: Moderra​

Wrath (Ira) → Patience: Tranquilia​

Sloth (Acedia) → Diligence: Vigoria​


Still, it kinda makes me wonder what would have happened if I had actually used that crazy idea.

The male lead in My Hot Dark Love Story is the closest thing I'll get to a fictionalized self insert, since the story was inspired by a joke between my wife and I.

She joked about being more of a villain than i am, and since we both love American comics I imagined what kind of supervillain she'd be based on characters she's played or admired and her general hobbies.

A character inspired by me slid into the superhero role and viola, an enemies to lovers superhero romance.

She likes Demise a whole lot, so i did something right. I think Sunstroke is hella cool. They're very very idealized exaggerated versions of us

Yes, at the end of my first written multiverse (spanning 5 different novels I have completed), there's a character refered as "the Witch" which is known to exists within the lowest point of existence, weaving and writing reality. At the end of the story, the protagonist meets her and I literally speak with her through my writing, autistically interacting with my own fictional character, which was both cringe and awesome to write, but that I dont think I'll ever do again with my other books.

I like the seven. I did a similar idea within my story.
Except, I tied Sins to Demons, and dropped those sins into the characters closest to the MC.
And instead of Virtues, I used Archangels, and Angels 'of importance' as leaders to a militaristic camp of soldiers.
Sin --> Demon --> Character name
Pride --> Abaddon --> Aban Grace
Lust --> Asmodeus --> Asmoda London
Greed --> Mephistopheles --> Mephisto Ren
Sloth --> Belphagor --> Beatrice May
Gluttony --> Beelzebub --> Belle Crey
Wrath --> Belial --> Balalaika Lia
Envy --> Leviathan --> Leviticus Lezule		Angel/ (Character name) - Vocation
Michael - Protector/ Host
Gabriel (Gabi) - Revelation/ Announcements
Azrael - Death
Raphael - Healing (Humanity)/ travel
Uriel (Yuri) - Wisdon/ Prophecy
Camael (Cam) - Strength/War
Haniel (Hannah) - Direction
Raziel - Secrets/ Records
Ariel - Healing (Animals)/ Protection

but no, the Sloth here isn't me though.
Technically, I would be another knowledgeable character, named Shadow, who is the old wise being of the story; Often, telling things there would be no way of knowing otherwise because the Mc is a normal, average, everyday kind of person that just happens to have a few abilities to her name. She's just as oblivious to what's happening as the reader is, and is also learning as the story (My Little Sister, The Dark Lord) continues forward.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean like a self-insert character?
Or a character who is inspired by some of our own personality, quirks, beliefs, or ideals?

In the case of the former. No. Never will. All of the characters are unique. Real. and Distinctly themselves.
In the case of the latter, Still no. Not really within the limited field of a character.
Similarities are simply a reflection on some of my own personal experiences (IE: Tobias running the TTRPG game for his friends in Chapter 1 of Aestelle Nocte mirrors a live TTRPG game that I ran for my friends, with a touch more dramatic flair) and dreams, but no. None of the characters are 'me' in the story. They never will be.

If I were to do a self-insert though, it would probably be in cameo form, rather than as any major character. Like a random shop clerk at a supermarket, or some other random minor character that has a few lines at most, before vanishing into the ether.

My question is if you have plans to made a character of yourself but not all of them
