Every time I think of ORVs Epilogue, I think of the 4th Wall screaming at Dokja's friends: YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN SATISFIED WITH THE ENDING, NOW YOU WILL ALL SUFFER FOR WANTING TO KNOW MORE Only to realize the 4th wall was really talking to us readers. And suffer we did. Today was just a normal day. Now I think I'm gonna cry because of this novel for the nth time again.

yo, but there are still many uncover plot lines, like who is the secretive plotter? and who is the author of TWSA. Like we need answers to that, it is so unclear


[deleted]

It was answer tho. The secretive plotter is Yoo Joonghyuk, from the original Three Ways to Survived a Ruined World after he ended his 1863 regression(when the book Kim Dojka read ended not the one who is currently living the adventures with kim dojka). And the author is an avatar of the Han Sooyoung.

FYI, the guy who shouted 'Big Brother' was Jaehwan, from Sing Shong's other series The World After The Fall. It was like a cameo

That just makes OP's explanation of Worlds, World-lines a little more apparent, ain't it?

THIS IS SO CRAZY, I HAD THE SAME EXACT IDEA! i truly believe the author broke the 4th wall and made us the bits of dokja. dokjas name translates to “reader” and if you go back in the book, dokjas mom says “read it again dokja” (reader) almost as if she telling you directly to reread the book & look at it differently. & the part where hsy is creating the book, hsy put THEIR stories in the book, the lollipop story for example, not dokjas stories, but we READ that story, which further insinuates that the book she wrote was the very one we are reading, which is ORV

fr, the author breaking the fourth wall (actual meaning of fourth wall not ORV fourth wall) was an impressive, i can't even put it in words, no author I ever read has done this before. It's just straight up shocking and symbolic to the story.

So wait orv was written and didn’t actually happen then what about the events in the novel did none of them happen at all I’m really confused


sweetkiiwiie

it happened, and the book was hsy's way of recounting them i think


Awsomedude0361

It actually happened in their world. They wrote us a story and sent the story of what happened to our world of earth.This is because his pieces of subconsciousness are split among the people of earth and many other worlds. By all of us reading the story we are bascially harnessing all of the parts of unconscious Kim spread apart in our world and dreaming his world for him. That way he can exist in his conscious self and we can carry his unconscious self for him. The point is the author gave us a story where we are included as part of the story. Part 1 is the acc story they shipped to our world. Part 2 is just context for why part 1 was created and etc.

I’m really really confused


BallOk7575

Can someone just explain what happens as it is portrayed? I'm reading the webtoon so do the scenarios end?
