1 Why doesn’t anyone read this? It’s a masterpiece -Dokja Kim
All of us, as readers, have thought this at least once while considering an underrated book: the ones that get overlooked among all the hype about mainstream cliche series.
2 My hobby is reading serialized web novels on the subway, on my way home from work -Dokja Kim
Dokja started reading TWSA when he was in eighth grade, and by the time the last chapter had rolled out, he was already a working adult. He held onto that novel as its sole reader for ten long years.
3 It’s bittersweet that this fictitious world I’ve been following for so many years was now coming to an end -Dokja Kim
A novel that you’ve been sticking to for years becomes a close companion, the one whose secrets aren’t foreign to you. It’s like a friend that never left your side, even when you went through the harshest times of your life.
4 It was a story written for me and only me -Dokja Kim
Dokja had been the sole reader of TWSA since chapter 50, and now that he had reached the epilogue of his favorite novel after three thousand one hundred and fifty-nine episodes, he might as well say that the story was written just so he could experience its greatness.
5 If I were in a different genre…if the genre of my life wasn’t non-fiction, but fantasy, could I have been the protagonist? -Dokja Kim
Every reader contemplates this possibility at least once in their life. If their life didn’t consist of a mundane nine to five job, but instead was about battling through monsters and facing challenges like their favorite characters from a fantasy novel, things might have been different.
6 I should also live my own life! Like you, I’ll strive to live my life to the fullest -Sangah Yu
Sangah tried to find inspiration wherever she could. She always worked hard and strived to do her absolute best, so when Dokja hopelessly tells her that the language app wouldn’t make a difference, she finds it motivating that instead of following others, he’s trying to find his own path (which was a lie at that time).
7 It was at that moment that the genre of my life changed -Dokja Kim
Dokja was unaware of the series of incidents that were about to unfold the moment TWSA became paid. That was the moment his life flipped upon itself.
8 At that moment, fiction and reality overlapped -Dokja Kim
If the nostalgia of remembering the first line of TWSA didn’t do it, then the appearance of the dokkaebi did, but Dokja was sure now that the reality he had been living in until now had been meddled with.
9 All of you have had quite a cushy life until now, haven’t you? -Dokkaebi
The people in the train had never thought that the life they felt entitled to until now was about to end. The money they had earned was rendered useless, and in this new world, only the strong survived (or the ones who follow Dokja).
10 We have to pick the ones who will die -Namwoon Kim
The first scenario involved killing two organisms within the time limit, and Namwoon was quick to jump into action to save himself. His first target was an old lady.
11 We have no choice. It’s kill or be killed. Who can blame us when our own lives are on the line? -Namwoon Kim
Mr Han tried to stop Namwoon from killing the old lady, but Namwoon clarified that the basis of divine judgment wasn’t the same anymore. This was a new world that had new rules and demanded sacrifices in order to survive.
12 Death is just around the corner -Unknown
Namwoon was adamant about killing the old lady, but Dokja could not afford to have him move past this scenario. He would be on his path to becoming the edgelord, Delusional Demon, which would do more harm than good in the future.
13 If I hesitate, I will die -Dokja Kim
Dokja realized that despite the alliance Namwoon had offered earlier, he would not hesitate to kill him now that Dokja had refused the offer. Namwoon wouldn’t let anything get in his way of completing this scenario.
14 I hope you all enjoy the show. Because sooner or later…you’ll end up paying the admission fee with your lives -Dokja Kim
The constellations were mysterious celestial beings who watched the Dokkaebi’s channel, where all the scenarios from different worlds were being broadcasted. Dokja made a mental note to make sure they were going to pay for their deeds, so they might as well enjoy the time they had.
15 Because of my choice, some lived while some died. I don’t deserve the gratitude of those who survived -Dokja Kim
Dokja chose to save Gilyoung and Sangah (subconsciously), but the rest survived by chance. He didn’t deserve their gratitude, for he had let all the other passengers die in the cabin by giving them all a choice.
