orvies when they remember that the reason Dokja hated Kim Namwoon sm was because he was the character Dokja could see the most of himself in and he couldn’t understand why Jonghyuk kept taking Namwoon in in every regression

Extra note:

These two panels were arranged to look like "■■" because I thought maybe her ■■ would be tied to yjh saving her and her bringing it to a close. Despite this, there is a text box awkwardly separating it, it's not so much of a satisfying ■■ for her.

THIS!!! PPL OVERLOOK THIS FACT SO MUCH. ESP in the later chapters where he slowly warms up to Kim Namwoon and recognizes how wrong he was to make such a quick judgement and im pretty sure he says knw was really just a kid in the end of the day

all I can think about is how the first thing Kim dokja did when the apocalypse was kill "himself"

not in the literal sense, of course

but in ensuring Kim namwoons death, he killed the one character he saw himself in

because as much as he wanted to be like yoo joonghyuk, he wasn't. he was the kid who stuck by his side and admired him for all those regressions.

RIP Kim Namwoon, your love story with Lee Jihye would’ve been glorious

really fucks me up that kim dokja killing kim namwoon is initially played off as a joke because he didn't like his character in the novel, only for it to later be revealed that he sees his younger self in knw and is just projecting his own self loathing, only for it to later be revealed he resents that knw is continuously forgiven and accepted by yoo joonghyuk despite being fucked up, only for it to later be revealed that this is because kdj hates himself so much that he believes he is the only person who doesn't deserve to be forgiven or accepted. demon king of salvation who doesn't think he deserves to be saved. kind of crazy

see i can never get over 999knw because why does orv establish right after he's introduced that:

he believes his mistake is what killed the 999th turn's yoo joonghyuk

he thinks maybe he should've died before they even met

and now he's aware of the current turn, where these two things are true:

yoo joonghyuk is alive

kim namwoon is dead

imagine believing you're at fault for everything that went wrong and thinking maybe you’d be better off dead

and then ending up in another timeline that essentially confirms it. you were right! you should have died back then. don't you think so too, captain?

“I hate Kim Namwoon because he is too much like me”

- Kim Dokja

"I hate Kim Dokja because he's too much like me" <-forced to bear the sin of knowledge

Kim Dokja is called “Demon King of Salvation” but he does not allow himself salvation. In doing so, he dooms Kim Namwoon to an unsalvageable fate in the first act, which directly foreshadows his own denial for salvation. In this essay I will—
