Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism šš¾ you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
yuri-fied them
You know for all intents and purposes it was a mercy that Kim Dokjaās body was expelled after his death in the tenth main scenaio
Because how much more fucked would it had been if his corpse was left.
Like heās died before, Dokja has left corpses before and came back alive. The time limits have changed in the past and his revival has been delayed before.
How long do you think the company wouldāve held onto his corpse? How long would they hold off on that funeral?
Would they notice a difference when Dokjaās body went into rigor mortis?
Has his corpse went into rigor mortis before? Because if so they still may hold onto hope.
Would they wait for decomposition to start?
Would they set him up in the usual coffin and check in on it? You know, just in case?
How long would it take the others to get Dokjaās body out of Yoo Joonghyukās arms?
How many scenarios did Kim Dokja actually complete? Letās count them!
Now, this depends on what we count as scenarios, for which I will be counting anything that came with the scenario window, defined by [these] or <these> brackets, that Kim Dokja actually got assigned, not just that he participated in, and scenarios he failed will be mentioned but not counted.
Main Scenarios:
#1 - Prove your Value
#2 - Escape
Point and laugh for failing not even two scenarios in
#3 - Green zone (Day 3)
#4 - Struggle for the Flag
Updated to: The Kingās Qualifications
#5 - Disaster of Floods
This one is most likely on its own because the other disasters were all defeated before the official start of the main scenario, Disaster of Questions will be listed elsewhere.
#6 - ???
Updated to: Abandoned World
#8 - The Strongest Sacrifice
#9 - Demonās Proof
Updated to: ???
Updated to: 73rd Demon King
#10 - 73rd Demon King
Same name as the updated #9, will be counted as separate as it may be an error and itās a big enough difference in description Iāll let it go
#25 - Demon King Selection
#45 - Glorious Return
Will have to check whether or not he actually gets the scenario window in the 1863rd turn, let me know if he does
#46 - Proof of the Stars
#60 - Gigantomachia
#80 - Reincarnation Island
#84 - Great War of Saints and Demons
This scenario is written as both #80 and #84, I will count it as separate in this case.
#89 - Final Dragon of the Book of Revelation
Listed as its own thing, maybe because it is normally its own thing and not just a punishment for messing up in the Great War.
#94 - Journey to the West Remake
#95 - Owner of the [Journey to the West]
#98 - Candidate Ballot
These three could be counted as one because they are technically the same scenario, but theyāre mentioned separately soā¦
#99 - Escape
The repeat in name⦠both with the holding/dropping by the neck⦠this time it is successful.

I feel this should be counted as a failure because he didnāt actually complete it for himself, he completed it for Yoo Joonghyuk, but I might not as Yoo Joonghyuk did complete for him⦠fine. He wins this time.

kim dokja and bihyungs dynamic before they get used to each other is so funny. me and the guy i keep trapped in my torture dungeon for entertainment (he keeps torturing himself and the others in new and creative ways i hadn't thought about before. hes actually kind of better at this than i am. im kinda scared)
A cursed thought: What if all the TWSA readers that stopped reading chapters consider it to be the "My Immortal" of webnovels. And it's almost a meme in the community about how bad they think it was...
Now imagine being the sole reader to complete the story and trying to defend it to other people because it's your favorite.
Kim Dokja had the chance to give himself a happy ending to his story. At the beginning of ORV, there would've been no happier ending to his life than being alone reading TWSA without any bodily needs or any responsibilities forever. The end of ORV was a book ending for Kim Dokja's character arc.
But he didn't take it. He didn't take it because he loved his companions too much. In the 9th scenario, Kim Dokja referred to love as being the farthest thing from him. By the 99th scenario, he's been so loved and he's loved in return. And so, that love corrupted his ending. His perfect ending was no longer perfect because of the 50% of him that had been irrevocably changed from his time in the scenarios.
It was that 50% he just needed to cut out of himself. He was quite literally half a man before he became Kim Dokja of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. If he had simply cut out that part of him and gave that to his companions, he could've returned to who he was at the start of the scenarios. He could've been happy and content with being the Oldest Dream. And eventually, he would have been found and picked up Secretive Plotter and the 999 crew. We know this, because we saw it.
But he didn't do this. Kim Dokja could not let go. To properly be the Oldest Dream, he had to only love one particular story. But Kim Dokja had more to love than just one story. He loved so many more stories. He loved THEIR story where he had existed with them. And, selfishly, Kim Dokja held onto a little bit more because he did not want to forget his companions. He didn't want to forget his friends, his children, his relationship with his mother, his adoptive parents, and the life they'd had.
And in doing so, he unintentionally created ripples in the happy ending. He poked a hole in that story. Because 49% was not 50%. 2% of a difference meant that the Kim Dokja that the others kept was never going to survive, as he was still an avatar and could not live without Star Stream. And Kim Dokja in the train could not be content in his isolation because he longed for those he could no longer see even as he denied himself his own omniscient powers to look in on them whenever he wanted.
The Fourth Wall berated Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk for ruining the ending of the story, but that wasn't entirely true. It was, as everything was, Kim Dokja's fault in the end.
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint's greatest tragedy is that Kim Dokja was loved. Because without that love, he could've been the ideal god of that world, and eventually everyone would've been granted the "happiest ending" (even if, as we saw with World of Zero and with Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk's discontent, that's not necessarily true). But because he felt love, Kim Dokja could not be a god. He was just a human.
