I disagree, for a few reasons. Eto's works are clearly used as framing devices for the series, as well as simply giving some flavor since our main character is a Literature Major/Book nerd. The characters discussing their favorite parts gives us insight into their personalities and tastes, such as Rize liking the particularly gruesome scene. (Which in and of itself gives a hint about the author since undoubtedly Eto has done that to victims.)

Besides that, the other option would be to never have a character in fiction that is an author. That kind of limits creators, since a character that is a writer can be really interesting.
