Kim Dokja has a funny and completely opposite problem from "Main Character Syndrome". With that, you see everyone around you as NPCs and not really living people with their own thoughts, feelings and autonomy. Some people might make the mistake that Kim Dokja feels that way because he separates the "characters" from "real people" in his narration, but he's not doing it for that purpose.
As Kim Dokja has told us, he's always had trouble telling reality and fiction apart. He's had a foot in both worlds for so long that both are equally real to him. The "characters" that Kim Dokja meets are not "characters" in the sense that he sees them as NPCs, nor does he call the "real people" "real" because they came from his world/"outside of the novel". He's separating them in his head because, to Kim Dokja, the "fictional world" is not one he can ever cross over into. The problem is not everyone else, but him. Basically, he sees "real people" as being on "his side" of the wall that separates him from the "world of TWSA". And this is why he's truly terrified of the "real people" he knows becoming characters because it means eventually he will be left alone once more. This is also why he grows to fear using his powers on people because that means he'll be forced to label them as a "character" or a "real person" because he cannot use his skills on "real people". But we see that "real people" can become "characters" over time. Everyone around Kim Dokja can enter "the world of TWSA"… except for him.
And that's why he becomes terrified when Yoo Sangah goes, and when Han Sooyoung runs the risk of going too. Because along with "crossing over" they lose their knowledge that TWSA was ever a novel. And Kim Dokja alone will have that knowledge. This is why The Fourth Wall is Kim Dokja's "wall". Just like Jang Hayoung had to climb over and master her own "wall" in order to progress in her life, so too does Kim Dokja need to master and climb over his own "wall". By doing so he can finally join the others in the "fictional world". This wall inside of him is what stops Kim Dokja from joining them. Or, taking a step back, it's Kim Dokja's inability to believe he can ever be with them as he fears he'll be left alone once more in a world separate from them.
And I think KimCom realizes that, and that's why they go after Kim Dokja into the 1865th turn. Because while he chose this, yes, this isn't REALLY a choice. It was a predetermined fate in Kim Dokja's mind, and he made it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Kim Dokja never overcame his "wall". And so they try once more to help him get past that wall, because in the end, Kim Dokja just wants to be with everyone else. His "fiction" would become his "reality". If only he could bring himself to truly believe and dream of a world where that's possible while still retaining the knowledge and existence of TWSA, his most beloved story.
Kim Dokja feels like he must sacrifice one for the other, because he cannot let go of TWSA, but without it he cannot cross his wall. This is his belief. The decision quite literally splits him in two… but the writing on his "wall" from his friends was enough of a percentage that he could not do it "perfectly". And so…….
God… ORV…

Apparently collecting empty eggshells, coloring them, filling them with confetti and then cracking them over eachother's heads isn't something everyone does during easter...........we used to find confetti in our hair for days after

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

Do not write fanfiction. One second you're normal and the next you're downloading a calendar from 2004 and tearing your hair out over what specific date every event in your fic happens
