Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA).
Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amus**ent of god-like “Constellations.”
After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.
He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before.

Well. That is what the story in the story which in turn creates another story which is probably the one we get to read is all about. Confusing? Well that's not why I put it as a spoiler. You should read the whole thing if you want to understand it.
(Like Rachel rubbing her belly and muttering "Some day". Or Yoo Yeonha confronting her father about Hajin's parents while thinking that he died. Or how useless Chae Nayun was despite her being the focus of attention for a major part of the story.).
There is plenty of bickering, falling-out and making-up between Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk. (I simply call it flip-flopping in a relationship).
Put in grand philosophical speeches, epic scenes of battles and camaraderie. Introduce more mysteries and cryptic explanations that makes no sense as we go along. As for resolution, just delay it or insert in more plot twists.
"Face-Heel-Turn" with MC at the end and completely turn MC into a "Sub" at the final parts of the storyline.
he is in full-control and wants to break the rules and norm, instead loses his self-identity and is forced to follow the rules.
Causality, World View, World Branch, Recursive Loop within loop of Existence. The "loops" must be closed, else the related world branches of reality will collapse. Or so, as we have been led to believe, for no one can prove this.
The unnamed and unexplained being who first created the "bootstrap existential mess". Author didn't name this being (readers will never find out about the being's true identity) and "how big or convoluted the existential mess was when it first began". Author instead mislead you into blaming MC (Kim Dokja) and the other two secondary protagonists, Yoo Joonghyuk and Han Sooyoung.
Someone has to clean up the "Bootstrap existential crisis" mess. And Misery loves company. MC and the other two secondary protagonists who takes turn to dig their graves deeper and deeper. Han Sooyoung for copying the Ruined World Novel into existence, so that Kid Kim Dokja can read the novel and not commit su*cide. Kid Kim Dokja for bringing the Ruined World to existence. Powerless God Kim Dokja for granting Yoo Joonghyuk's wish to regress to find his non-existent parents. Yoo Joonghyuk for starting the regression loops and >1863 parallel world lines branching.
MC's noble self sacrifice to split himself into a Clone-Puppet and Powerless-God leads to his "Company" (something akin to a Guild) into continued repeated suffering with clearing more multiple loops of "Scenarios" to "rescue him". It could have ended with the 1st loop (worldline).
Author's so-called creativity is contrite and distasteful. When all else fails, just throw in an "Open-Ended" ending. Author mentioned in his author's notes that he already spoiled the true ending and epilogue early in the novel, there wasn't supposed to be fairy-tale happing ending and and "Open-Ended" ending is already the best consolation prize that he could compromise.
How was the 0th iteration Yoo Joonghyuk conceived without having biological parents? Who planted the idea into Yoo Joonghyuk's mind that only by regressing, will he able to achieve the truth about his parents? Who planted the idea into Kim Dokja's mind that he needs to fulfil Yoo Joonghyuk's to start the recursive loop of bootstrap existential crisis?
Apparently, a character from author's other Novel appeared when MC became the Powerless-God and tried to kill MC.
The ending kinda made me sad.. I really wanted to hear Kim Dokja once more...
