I can’t tell if Liz is secretly doing all these things or if the author is making her do...

Agreed! At first I thought that the "author" only took control of Lizs body but now I'm thinking the author has general control over all MCs of the original story

She's the author

You are this close

I thought cliff was the author

Nah, and if I remember it correctly, there were many who went to Edith's body, and all of them died. You should prepare your heart because the story will get worse. 

Stop! I can’t I’ve cried like 10 times for Edith cause like she’s gone through so much both versions of her just let her be happy

NAAAAAUUUUURRRR
