The problem with this power not having any limitations is that it possesses a counterfactual element that necessarily negates it: Reader Embodiment, as a power where assuming its perspective cannot be done simultaneously with Author Authority.

Now, it can be debated that a User with the power of Reader Embodiment and Author Authority can affect the story for their own benefit. However to consider any situation where a User with both powers has a "need" to assume the perspective granted by Reader Embodiment, in the alpha reality of such a user, their power of Author Authority is indeed limited, albeit temporarily.

This is to say, if the User with Author Authority is in any capacity interested in an "objective" value system, or one shared by other Minds they must concede to Reader Embodiment not only as an opposite but as a limitation.

However, in defense of this power as it is: It is unrivaled in the sense that any observing minds ignorant of the totality of the narrative, must be lead by the perceptions predetermined by the Reader Embodiments of the Author, 'albeit temporarily. '

In conclusion, even in the event that the author has deduced all logical conclusions based on his/her omnsicience and has predetermined all possible outlooks that can be derived from the story, there is no axiom of logic that says that a reader of a story with an author who excersises such authority has to like it, continue to participate in or entertain it, or even remember anything about it after its been read. Arguably, such could also be the case for implicit flaws in the plot.
