Please correct my writing.

You can think of 빙의글 as "a more immersive fan fiction".
It's a kind of fan fiction written in the way you can feel like you yourself are the main character in the story. They leave the name of a protagonist blank or they never address a protagonist by a specific name because the protagonist is supposed to be whomever reads the fiction.

Thank you for your answers!
No need to tell me the basics, haha. There're some things about article that native speakers think obvious but non-native english speakers find very hard and take long long time to grasp :)

May I ask some follow-up questions?

I thought there can be multiple protagonists. My logic was.. there are multiple protagonists, and one of them is the character which the reader will think of as herself. The reader wouldn't know which protagonist will be herself before reading it. That's why I chose 'a'. How wrong is my thought-process?

And as for the question 2), let's ignore a and the problem for a sec since that question was not about article.
I was wondering if "they leave the name of the protagonist blank [or they] never address..." always means "they leave the name of the protagonist blank, [if not, they] never address..." and that's why it was improper and I should've written "... the protagonist black or never..." instead.

You're right. It turns out how English and Korean view the word protagonist(주인공) is very different haha. Damn, I didn't see that coming. Maybe I should rewrite the whole question and do this again.
I appreciate your help. Thank you :)

There would be no satisfying rule :)
People may give you "native numbers are for counting and sino numbers are for some other things". Yes, that's not totally wrong. But the way I see it, you have to experience every single case of how and when we use which numbers. You'd have to know it by experience, not by "a Korean or a book said so". You'd better admit it! haha

No need to be sorry. It's me that has to be sorry :(
I tend to burden myself too much when confronted with a question because the last thing I want is to give the rushed and wrong answer to anyone. So I prefer to answer a question of my choice, not randomly thrown at me. It'd be too much pressure. I always need enough time to think and write an answer before giving one, so just exchanging quick messages on a messenger will work against me as well.
I'm really sorry :)
