: Re: How to get a character that knows he's the main character to follow the authors agenda? I'm writing a story where at some point the main character is going to realize he is the main character

Empathy

Your MC might not want to play the authors games, and there is a limit what you can do to them, but you can certainly ruin his friends/family/love interest.

After a Groundhog day-esque period of time where the MC feels he can do anything, see the consequences stick to the people he cares about. In the above example, you could have the gun go off as soon as its not pointing at himself, and have a bystander catch a flesh wound from a ricochet.

The Villan realises hes the main character too

Nothing ruins your day like being actively targeted by the big bad.
