yes, it is that hard. take it from smebody who's tried,

OC-inserts are a little easier, but still not the best ida. the bets way to do it is take the main setting, make a few major changes, and shift focus to your own characters without eliiating the cannon characters and events.

for eample, in my fanfic, cindr, roman, etc are stil following their plan, while RWBY, JNPR, and SSSN are fighting them. on the other hand, my characters are fighting my own original villains. in order to connect the two storylines, in my AU Cindr and her group were set on their path as a side-effet of my main villains meddling
