i know that by "pro gamer" it def means that joonghyuk plays shooters or like competitive games but i personally like to hc as a speedrunner. Hes got like world record in mr goobers day off cuz he can do the dookie skip consistently and he got fast sligma on his best time. Hes a gaming icon

#I love speedrunning so much #I consider it a sister field to rhythm gaming which is my beloved #I know yjh has the grind mindset for speedrunning and i just think it would be funny #Also it would make sense he streams attempts but doesnt have to be like high energy #Tell me what game u think he would have world record in cuz i made all that up #Kdj in his chat: wow joonghyuk that time will never be beat *beats it the next day #Hsy in his chat: i could do better than that *has never speedran a game in her life #orv #If this doesnt make sense with the ending uhhhh sorry??? Im only on like chapter 80 of the novel and chapter 200 of the manhwa #Im working thru it #Dont worry sbout spoilers tho ive looked thru the tumblr tag like dozens of times lmao #omniscient reader's viewpoint #yoo joonghyuk #yjh

I HAVE so many thoughts about orv, and I'm so happy you are enjoying it, especially how they use the standard isekai/rpg tropes

ORV's use of the constellations/an audience as a character is so interesting to me. It reminds me of a chorus in Greek plays or YT/twitch chats, which really hammers home the whole rpg aspect. what do you feel about how the author uses an in-story audience?

I adore it the way the constellations shape the scenarios. It's so meta. Stories are written to satisfy readers, even if it means the characters get the short end of the stick. Dokja spent 10 years as TWSA's audience, baring witness to Junghyuk's suffering. And now the constellations (and us) are baring witness to Dokja's suffering.

ORV explores how an audience can be exploitative, loving, manipulative, helpful. Stories can be consumed and forgotten and destructive and cherished and help us survive. Themes of readers/stories are written into every part of this universe and I'm having so much fun with it

#definitely feels like a cross between greek choruses and twitch chats!! #ask #anon #orv liveblogging

Major Orv spoilers but anyways

Been thinking about the way that Sing-Shong built up the secretive plotter, the oldest dream, and tls123. The first impression you get from them is that they’re these all powerful deities who can shape the world as they see fit. And that first impression is horribly, ironically wrong.

The Secretive Plotter is introduced to us as a minor player, as a constellation so weak he was never mentioned in the original story. And even as Kdj realizes that he’s actually really powerful, the idea that he’s a being outside of the story sticks with us. SP is the first character we see that can travel between world-lines. He’s literally an outer god- a being outside of the story. But when you actually connect the dots and realize that he’s Yjh, that gets flipped on its head in the most delicious way possible. He’s literally the protagonist. He’s the one that’s MOST trapped by the story- he watches himself fail again and again and again until he gives up on ever escaping that narrative.

The oldest dream is the same- although we don’t see much of him until his identity is revealed, Sing-Shong does a great job of hyping him up as this big final boss that the characters are going to have to face. We don’t know much about the oldest dream, but we do know that he’s powerful. He’s Yjh’s sponsor, after all- a being so revered that nobody can mess with him, not even the bureau. We know that we hate him, too- pretty much everyone, readers included, are PISSED about the whole regression thing. We assume that he’s just like the other constellations- Some uncaring asshole who created a world filled with torment just to watch it unfold. Hell, if you’re still hung up on the whole author thing, you might even assume that the Oldest Dream is tls123. And that’s reversed SO. WELL. with the reveal- he’s literally the most powerless being of them all, to quote Uriel. He’s a kid, dreaming of a world where he’s not alone. He didn’t create this world out of some morbid curiosity of his; He loves the story more than anyone else. He’s not the author, he’s the reader. He’s Kim Dokja, and he’s not a monster.

And God, tls123? Don’t get me started. The identity of the author is one of the central mysteries of the story. As the audience, we’re trying to figure it out the second we start reading- Is the secretive plotter the author? Is the Oldest dream the author? And in the middle of all this guesswork, literally NOBODY suspects Han Sooyung. As the readers, we just kind of assume that the author is going to be some all-powerful deity who created the world on a whim, Because they’re the author. But we’re entirely wrong on that. Hsy didn’t create the world. If anything, she did the opposite- Writing WoS is the action that cements the timeline in stone. She ended it, in a way.

It’s like... Throughout the whole series, you’re waiting to meet God. You expect that the world’s the way it is because there’s some guy making all the rules, doing evil, perpetuating the cycle, etc. There has to be a guy- who would the protagonists fight otherwise? How else are they going to break the loop?

And then you figure it out, and you realize that there isn’t a guy. There’s no one, singular person in charge of the story. The author can’t write without a protagonist to write about, and a reader to read their story. The protagonist can’t move forward if the author doesn’t write the next page, and the reader doesn’t read it. The reader can’t read if there’s no book, or if there’s no character. They all need each other to get anything done.
