The og rize and og Edith situation slightly confuses me.
Many thanks
I think the original story played through as written the first time.
Then somehow the original Edith's spirit gained enough access to the system to summon the author in to become Reeze because she wanted her to see what she had done by making the original Edith's back story and fate so terrible.
But that didn't work and the author-Reeze just went ahead with the story as written.
The problem was that the story resets once Reeze marries Cliff and starts again.
After it runs through that way a few times, author-Reeze tries to change the story by picking Killian instead of Cliff, but the story makes him turn her down, saying he only sees her as a sister.
I think it might be at that point the story breaks enough to give the author-Reeze access to the system.
The original Edith hides herself away, and the author-Reeze starts bringing in the spirits of others to be Edith, constantly manipulating things so the outcome is always the same as some sort of perverse game.
It is only when the last Edit (number 13) beats all the conditions that author Reeze loses control of the system and can no longer manipulate people.
At that point the world and the people in it are free and the story stops resetting.
