its actually VERY STRANGE that the 'you need me for the 46th scenerio' line actually works out for kdj. like that may be the single worst thing you could say to freshly regressed, 3rd round yoo joonghyuk. during the last round a prophet betrayed him during the 46th scenerio, made him a slave, caused his whole family to die, and lead to his presumably violent death, which happened LIKE AN HOUR AGO. you're invoking that image to make him trust you?? HAN SOOYOUNG YOU TOO??????? AND THEN YOO JOONGHYUK DOES???????

Writing fics with Kim Dokja's POV
I feel the need to YELL INTO THE VOID with this.
I'm writing a fic where my goal is to get it to feel as 'canon' as possible and to do that I'm studying the way KDJ perceives the world.
And his overall tone is just so tired.
All the time.
He uses a lot of words like 'I knew as well', 'it wasn't strange for _____', 'obviously.....'.
Reading the novel the second time around and imagining the narrator as some guy who's been sitting in a subway for a while makes so. much. sense.
He's also pretty self deprecating, but in a way where its not obvious. Like he'll compare himself to his companions and be like 'this person is so amazing, but instead, I'm _______'. and its phrased in such a way where the reader is like !! Wow yes this person is so cool! But when reading it again, I'm like... wow you hate yourself, huh??
I opened up the novel and in almost every chapter he says at least ONE bad thing about himself. Try it. It's like playing where's waldo.
" I lived so far to make my lies a reality." - 359
"However.... to think, they willingly spent an item on me that they could’ve used on themselves. For some reason, I felt guilty about it." -433 (At this point its like past scenario 90 and he STILL feels bad about his companions using an item on him like whAT you have known each other for literal YEARS)
ALSO!! The fourth wall doesn't just offset shock.
IT OFFSETS HAPPINESS TOO.
⸢Kim Dok-Ja watched all these happen with a quiet smile.⸥
[‘The 4th Wall’ is gradually getting thicker.]
⸢As if, he was looking at a spectacle happening in the distance.⸥
(Chapter 433 ^^)
TURN OFF YOUR SKILL KIM DOKJA
AAAAAAAAA
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE SOMEONE WHO TRIES TO FEEL NOTHING.
I THRIVE OFF EMOTIONAL WRITING BUT I HAVE TO PLAY BY THIS GUY'S RULES
WHY U SO BLAND KDJ WHY
WHYYYYY
*banging head on laptop*
