Thank you SingShong and Wanderer for bringing this story to us. It has been a good run. I am grateful for having the opportunity to make this story a part of my life.

Oh, Dokja...

It’s incredible that Sing Shong set this up so that this would be the one conflict that would truly shake Kim Dokja to his core. He could smoothly operate through almost anything in the story but every time something threatened his most central themes (as a reader, as suffering child) we got to see him struggle most of all. It’s fitting that a conflict about his being a “reader” would be one of the last hurdles in the story and the one he would struggle with most of all.

I cry

It feels me with awe to see SingShong completely recontextualize earlier parts of the story and create them into things that would be used by the characters to continue the story. The life they bring in these characters by doing that... it’s phenomenal.

I am so endeared to Kim Namwoon now and I can’t stand the lack of fics on him huhu. I want him to be happy 😢

No shit dude when have you ever not been staring at him? When have WE, the readers, ignored him?

Goddammit ShingSong, I already liked Kim Namwoon pining after Lee Jihye and now there’s personal ANGST involved? I can only continue to get more invested and I am not prepared to cry over him too.

Man I hope their relationship was okay in the 999th round. I liked what they had in the 1863rd session that HSY intervened with.

Our girl grew up 😭😭😭😭😭

Ey yo Bihyung is this part of your meddling?

Oh holy shit

This was such an amazing chapter and battle. it feels well-earned and you can see how much everyone has grown and how their support group has expanded so much since.

PERSEPHONEEEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭

Hades is honestly Best Dad

You are my underrated fave, Lee Hyeonseong.

I really do feel for lhs. he’s trying hard but the world doesn’t make sense or it goes too fast and asks for things he doesn’t know how to do so he’s left with no other choice but to hope for guidance from a manual. I do know the feeling. I often wish life came with a manual and I can just zone out as I go about it but I also know that the instant I get out of my daze, I would be utterly restless and dissatisfied, tearing apart what I knew because there has to be something better than a life like this.

Oh so NOW he shows his MC colors by talking about the happy ending he wants with everyone?! KIM DOKJA YOU BASTARD YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HIT ME WITH THIS SO LATE IN THE GAME.

Makes me wonder how Jophiel was faring in the 1863rd turn that he intervened with.

That was honestly a powerful scene. I look forward to Dokja’s interactions with Jonghyuk because it brings out the most human and lively side of him, and vice versa.
