I hate Kim Dokja. I hate that Ugly Squid of Salvation.

And I love him.

And I hate him.

For those who have read the novel, I feel like I can truly understand the feelings of the constellations. This is one of the most delicious stories I've ever enjoyed.

I definitely think that he opened his eyes, and spent the rest of his days with his companions. They live in a big house together, and live as a big wholesome family, never to be separated again. There are a countless number of happy stories that come after, that we'll never see but exist nonetheless. The most important thing is that they're all alive, together, and happy.

I refuse to accept any other ending as canon!!!

MC dying for the others, coming back alive, then sacrificing again, and so on and so forth. Well, he truly lives up to his modifier Demon King of Salvation.

Like the time when the great war between good and evil happened. The others who stood on the neutral side weren't allowed to participate in the scenario, but how come their nebula was allowed even if they didn't want to choose a side?

And as a bromance-fan I absolutely loved Uriel and YJH and KDJs' dynamic. And yeah, I was sometimes sad when the two of them got less time together because of being separated. I was sooo touched when YJH went so far to save KDJ in the epilogue (he is a real softie, isn't he? &Gt;.< And am I the only one who actually wanted to read more about what happened after KDJ woke up? I wish, this novel wouldn't end! Time to go back to TCF, my other favorite. T-T

Abusive father, mother who wanted to protect him but seen as neglectful to KDJ instead; the bullying from school and the harassment he got from reporters after his mother killed his father, then publishing a book about it that lead to more harassment. His su*cide attempt when he was 15.

These are all made him come off as being distant to his companions at first, however, as the story progressed they became his newfound family and he would do anything to protect them. Even at the cost of his life.

Much like KDJ who's willing to sacrifice himself for his companions, they also do everything they could to save him. No matter how much time it took. It's especially touching when Yoo Joonghyuk himself took the initiative to bring KDJ back, hopping from one timeline to another for years to spread TWS, so KDJ could remember.

This was especially pertinent with the reincarnation of Yoo Sangah. At that point, the scenarios themselves lost all meaning.

I like the Oldest Dream stuff, and the linking together of KDJ, HSY and YJH. Everything falls into place, small hints are explained and tied together. But it's just so, , , badly explained. From where did this specific loop originate? Is the loop infinite and unchangeable? I feel like the ending should involve the breaking of the loop, instead of the continuing of the cycle for dubious reasons (why would they do what they did?). The open ending didn't really feel that great to read - I would've preferred something more conclusive, tying up the loose ends literally created in the very same epilogue.

What I hated the most though, was how the epilogue rendered the rest of the book more... meaningless? It emphasises futility and... I don't know, after following KDJ's journey to create his own ending for all those chapters, for it all to end up as an endless, unbreakable cycle...

I'm not sure why anyone reading reviews would want to see me complain about the epilogue. Still, I did like the epilogue, with all its flaws. The way it tied everything together does balance out all my gripes.

My favorite part is when Persephone and Hades basically adopted KDJ. It felt so natural and earned after learning how bad KDJ's childhood was and how KDJ's mother failed at parenting.

Another thing is KDJ's tendancy to throw away his life to ensure his Nebula survives for the next scenario. It's frustrating because the characters are experiencing the trauma of losing a loved one so many times they practically have to put a leash on him just to make sure he doesn't do it again.

There are also some family fluff like when they took a company break. KDJ is given a scenario where he has to fulfill everyone's wish and it's just fun.

The children still act like children despite the apocolypse.

Anna Croft gets some character development that yoy don't really notice until she saves YJH.

what made KDJ make YJH regress 1864 times? How YJH was born if he didn't have parents??did you not read the epilogue?
