Omniscient Reader Is Genuinely So Masterfully Done Because I Have Never Seen A First Person Viewpoint

omniscient reader is genuinely so masterfully done because i have never seen a first person viewpoint story manage to obfuscate it's main character so well and in such a thematically relevant way.

like. it's not just this, but we're so used to third person viewpoints being used in books, y'know? so of course we don't know exactly what the characters are thinking at all times. we only get to see that in specific moments where the author chooses to show us the characters thoughts.

but kim dokja is the viewpoint for the vast majority of the novel, we are literally sitting there in his mind reading his thoughts on every single thing, and we still don't know what the fuck he's planning. sure we can infer it, there's plenty of flawlessly done set-up and foreshadowing orv from a writing perspective.

but kim dokja never tells us anything. not really. not without hiding behind seven proxies. we learn about him but we never truly know him.

i haven't emphasized enough just how bad this will be for lhh's mental state. that fate dkos got? it was supposed to be lee hakhyun's.

asgard's fate was originally targeted at lhh, but kdj pushes his soul away and took the fate instead. lhh immediately picks up what's going to happen and tries to stop him. this is supposed to be his fate... he turns and sees christina page. she's looking at him with guilt, as her fingers move and lhh blacks out. dkos had made a deal with christina to do him a favour and he'd save her friends... and so he made her knock lhh out.

with the help of the dark keeper and the insane amounts of probability in the area, kim dokja is able to fully appear in the scenarios. the body he appeared in is full of scars from the dark keeper's fight with yoo joonghyuk, but the important part was that kdj is here. the constellations that were originally chasing lhh surround kdj.

kdj thinks about his maknae. he's weird, being the one kim dokja who knows how to write. it was interesting to see how he awkwardly followed kdj's footsteps, and how he did things different from kdj, though sometimes he got frustrated. still, it was fun to see his story. maybe that's why he's here now.

searching his coat pocket, he finds some cigarettes. while smoking, he combs through his scattered memories, the missing memories painful to him... yet the pain proves that he is kim dokja.

the constellations rush in to kill him. he fights back, but with every clash he ends up with more and more wounds. an arrow in his shoulder, a spear in his thigh. his wings are cut off, and fall to the ground.

this world is a tragedy, created solely to inflict pain on yoo joonghyuk. with endless failures and despair, the world was destined for him.

anyone who would try to share that responsibility would be cursed to the same fate.

as his wing hit the ground, lighting lights up the sky. another star falls in the distant sky. he should be the emotionless dkos, but in this moment, he's still kim dokja. he speaks out loud, asking if yjh fighting as well. yjh cannot reply, just as words written on a monitor do not reply. some communication never occurs. where communication is impossible, there is merely a story. and the demon king of salvation lives to read that story.

dkos laughs, as if he had accepted a punishment.
