| 7 | [[caption-width-right:350: TrueCompanions till the end]] |
| 8 | A group of people (and later [[spoiler: full on Nebula in their own right]]) who decide to band together in order to survive the scenarios. |
| 9 | ---- |
| 10 | * ActionSurvivor: Everyone eventually becomes this in spades. |
| 11 | * AdaptationalModesty: Most of the girls in the group are described as wearing skirts of some kind in the novel, but in the webtoon adaptation, they're drawn wearing pants. |
| 12 | * ArchEnemy: The actions that they take over the course of the story gradually lead them to become this to ''most'' of the other Nebulas. |
| 13 | * BadassCrew: A Nebula comprised of a Regressor who's relived multiple lives, a constellation who knows the events of the scenarios even more than the Regressor, a plagiarist with the ability to clone herself and just as much knowledge on story tropes as the constellation, alongside many members of the Regressor's original group and several other characters just as powerful in their own right, alongside being affiliated with other strong Nebulas and even [[spoiler: ''Outer Gods.'']] |
| 14 | * BerserkButton: Mess with any one of their members, and watch as they prepare to bring ''hell'' down on you with their wrath. |
| 15 | * BeyondTheImpossible: Irregardless of how unlikely it might be and how plausible it is with them actually succeeding, once they set their mins to something, odds are that they'll accomplish their goals and ''more.'' |
| 16 | * CanonForeigner: Some of Dokja's teammates were not part of the original canon, so not only is he unable to read their character stats, they're sometimes considered a wild card since he won't know exactly how they'll react in certain situations. [[spoiler: Some of them, as it turns out, are actually CanonCharacterAllAlong with the context of the 0th Scenario however.]] |
| 17 | * CrazyPrepared: They try to be this, and for the most part thanks to Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk, and [[spoiler: Han Sooyoung]] and their knowledge of the future, they are this when it counts. |
| 18 | * ForWantOfANail: Kim Dokja's presence leads all of them to go through the story in ways that never happened in TWSA canon, with Yoo Sangah, Lee Gilyoung, Jung Heewon , and Shin Yoosung in particular surviving the first few Scenarios and becoming [[spoiler: Dokja's Incarnation]] respectively. |
| 19 | * FireForgedFriends: All of them by the end of the story, regardless of whether or not they might bicker at times. When it comes down to it, there's nothing they wouldn't do to help each other out of a tight situation. |
| 20 | * GenderEqualEnsemble: At the end, the group has a total of four men and four women. Of course, when you add in Yoo Joonghyuk and his companions alongside [[spoiler: Han Myungoh, Lee Sookyoung, and Jang Hayoung, the number while still close to equal on either side, favors the women a bit more (6 men, 7 women).]] |
| 21 | * GenreSavvy: Many of them are, but most prominent among them are Kim Dokja and [[spoiler: Han Sooyoung]], due to their attributes. |
| 22 | * InSpiteOfANail: The members of the nebula still undergo the various plot developments and attribute evolutions that they go through in TWSA canon, though some differ a bit more than others on what happens to result in said development and attribute evolutions. |
| 23 | * ParentalSubstitute: The adults of the group become this in their own ways to the kids. |
| 24 | * RetGone: If some of the people on Dokja's team never existed in the original canon, he won't be able to read their character profiles. |
| 25 | * RunningGag: |
| 26 | ** People (usually Yoo Joonghyuk) rejecting the name of the Nebula. not that they ever manage to come up with an alternative. |
| 27 | ** Another would be members of the Nebula being called "employees", with the title even reaching as far as ''the kids.'' Other members such as [[spoiler: Han Myungoh or Gong Pildu]] are also called "temporary or affiliate" hires. |
| 28 | * TrueCompanions: The group slowly becomes this over the course of them trying to survive the horror of the scenarios, to the point that many of them would and [[spoiler: do try to sacrifice themselves to help the others live.]] |
| 29 | * UndyingLoyalty: They all have this to one another, to the point of [[spoiler: Regressing as a group just so Kim Dokja could truly be with them after the Final Scenario.]] |
| 30 | * WildCard: The group is this, by virtue of having Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk, and many of the most prominent characters in ''Three Ways to Survive a Ruined World'' in their ranks, [[spoiler: to the point where their nebula is one of the most antagonized in the Star Stream.]] |

| 49 | ---- |
| 50 | A 28-year old salary-man whose hobby is reading webnovels, particularly one called 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse'. He then finds himself and the world around him being transported into the story itself and uses his knowledge of the story as well as some help from the author and the story's various characters in order to survive. |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * AffectionateNickname: Gilyeong strictly refers to him as "hyung". |
| 53 | * AudienceSurrogate: Played with. He does serve as one as he's GenreSavvy enough to understand the situations he's in, but he'll also not divulge information to his group as well as the readers in order to keep his plans intact without interference from the Constellations. A lot of his internal monologue, especially when he's annoyed is very relatable though. [[spoiler: Of course, as it later turns out, there is a [[TheReveal VERY big reason for this.]]]] |
| 54 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: His knowledge and constant rereading of TWSA mean he often has plans to go along with the situation currently happening, allowing him to pull off moves his enemies could never fully expect. |
| 55 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Later on he pilfers a suit from a dead body to wear [[spoiler: since his clothes got incinerated by a dragon and [[NakedOnRevival he was brought back to life]].]] |
| 56 | * BadassLongcoat: He later on gains a white one but loses it [[spoiler: to the 1863rd Yoo Joonghyuk]]. Though he does receive a much nicer one from [[spoiler: the Han Sooyoung of the 1863rd Regression]] to make up for it. |
| 57 | * BeneathTheMask: At times Dokja projects a calm and collected image that doesn't give away how often he's either trying to think ahead of his opponent or cursing at how he hated a particular character in the original novel. Also due to his communications link with Bihyeong, he has to suffer through the demon's screaming and rage whenever he pulls something the demon wasn't expecting while pretending he's got everything under control. |
| 58 | * BerserkButton: |
| 59 | ** Joonghyuk, to the point he even openly asked the other if he could punch him in the face just this once after he coldly suggested something to Dokja's group. It's one of the few times Dokja seems to lose the calm expression on his face. Though as times goes on and the two become much closer with each other, this becomes more of a anger at Yoo Joonghyuk's recklessness at times |
| 60 | ** Someone bringing up the "rumors" about Dokja and his past. |
| 61 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He comes to really care for Gilyoung and refuses to let any harm come to the young boy. He was even willing to let Gilyoung into the safe zone with Joonghyuk just as monsters start to swarm over to where they are. |
| 62 | * ButIReadABookAboutIt: He applies his knowledge of the novel into the people around him and it helps him survive each round. |
| 63 | * BrutalHonesty: As he and his group prepare to hunt monsters, he tells them upfront they should invest as many coins as they can to strength, stamina, etc., because he doesn't expect them all to survive. |
| 64 | * CastFromMoney: He makes sure to save as much money as possible throughout the scenarios, so when the moment comes, he can literally outbuy his enemies for skills, items or strength boosts. |
| 65 | * CombatPragmatist: Once he starts getting a hang of the scenario, he uses everything and anything he can if it gives him an advantage. |
| 66 | * CurbStompBattle: He provides plenty of these after he starts leveling up. Though he does also end up on the receiving end of this many times as well. |
| 67 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a loner most of his life who relied on The Ways of Survival not just as a means of escape but also [[spoiler: as a means to keep living day to day.]] The reason? [[spoiler: His mother killed his father when he was young and subsequently was thrown in prison before proceeding to write a novel that would become very well-known detailing the reasoning she had for killing Dokja's father. This would lead Dokja to become known as the son of a murderer all his life and lead to him being shunned by most people. The worst part of it all? HE killed his father in an act of rage, and in order to ensure Dokja wouldn't be held responsible, Lee Sookyung would take the blame for his act of anger, and in turn would receive the hatred and indifference of her son for many years.]] |
| 68 | * DealWithTheDevil: While Bihyeong is not a literal devil, Dokja still makes a deal with the dokkaebi that he will continue to draw in viewers for his stream in exchange for half of the money Bihyeong makes and is contracted to him. Funnily enough, Bihyeong is the one who ends up regretting his deal with Dokja more than the latter due to Dokja's savviness of the plot. |
| 69 | * {{Deconstruction}}: Of the StockLightNovelHero who effortlessly goes from asocial outcast to MagneticHero with their backstory having little impact in the story itself. [[spoiler: Not only is Kim Dokja's background as a bullied outcast with no friends or family to rely on incredibly relevant to his character and the decisions he makes, being a MagneticHero is not effortless for him and he has trouble actually communicating with his allies. His asocial tendencies never quite go away either to the point that his friends actually think he is very awkward instead of charismatic. And that's not even talking about how relevant his backstory is to the universe itself.]] |
| 70 | * DissonantSerenity: He notes that after the first challenge, he doesn't actually regret not saving more people and admits he feels calm like he was only reading the novel and not actually taking part in it. [[spoiler: As it turns out, this calmness is actually one of the FourthWall's abilities, essentially allowing him to realize the events occurring around him are from a novel. When Dokja does end up facing things that might trip the FourthWall up, he becomes much more emotional.]] |
| 71 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: He apparently hates the taste of tomatoes. |
| 72 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: His father named him 'Dokja' (only son) in hopes he would be a strong independent man, while his mother named him 'Dokja' (reader) so he would never be lonely, but he only finds it embarrassing whenever he introduces himself to others. |
| 73 | * EveryoneHasStandards: While he has few qualms with most of the train riders dying in order for himself and a handful of others to survive, he will not harm the elderly or children. |
| 74 | * {{Fanboy}}: Of 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse' as its been his comfort story that he's been following for over ten years. The author even gives him the entire novel in txt form as a gift before the scenario started. He also admits to Joonghyuk (while being held by his throat) that he was a fan of his. When Lee Hyunsung gains his attribute, Dokja internally compliments the other as he remembered this being his one of his favorite scenes in the story because it highlighted how Hyeonseong became one of the most unstoppable characters in the original canon of TWSA. |
| 75 | * {{Foil}}: To Joonghyuk. He refuses to be incredibly jaded as the original protagonist, nor sacrifice his allies even if it would save him the trouble. Whereas after being in the apocalypse for so long, Joonghyuk prefers to be alone and barely acknowledges the other players. |
| 76 | * FourthWall: His personal skill. One of its abilities is that it allows information about him to be protected and even players like Joonghyuk with his Eye of the Sage can't forcibly see hidden information on Dokja. Unfortunately, it also prevents him from reading his own information, leaving what other abilities he has a mystery until they activate by chance. [[spoiler: As it turns out, it's also VERY protective of Dokja, to the point of actively stopping him from being reckless at times. It even intervenes at times on its own volition just to make sure Dokja is safe.]] |
| 77 | * GagPenis: Dokja's "black flame dragon" is the source of quite some gags. When he comes back to life naked in chapter 54 of the webtoon, everyone gets a treat of his "equipment" and the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon even sends a message to tell everyone that he's staring at it. It also becomes a BrickJoke near the novel's ending, when [[spoiler:everyone is writing a novel to distribute throughout the world lines and Hyunsung and Heewon both have a Fable called "I’ve seen the Demon King of Salvation’s Black Flame Dragon". Sooyoung takes it up a notch with her Fable named "‘I burst Demon King’s Black Flame Dragon by mistake"]]. |
| 78 | * GenreSavvy: |
| 79 | ** Having read 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse', he knows most of the tropes of the story and how to use that to his advantages. He'll also withhold information from his teammates in order to not be interfered by the constellations as well as leaving the viewers in suspense. Due to his knowledge of the story he'll use shortcuts to get better items for his party, avoid certain dangers, or get through a scenario easier, to the shock and delight of the constellations watching. |
| 80 | ** He's also [[spoiler: used his knowledge of the original plot to come back from death on a few occasions either through the King of No Killing Attribute or the Eight Lives Attribute to name a few.]] |
| 81 | ** This also means when he runs into the [[spoiler: "prophets" and ESPECIALLY Han Sooyoung]] who have only read up to certain points in the story and subsequently dropped it, he mentally chides them since he has read the ''entire'' novel many times over the years. |
| 82 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Due to being in a setting where AnyoneCanDie, he'll only help those who are not afraid to contribute. He's not above killing anyone who attacks him even in desperation. |
| 83 | * HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: Hades and Persephone]] see Dokja as their own son and refer to him as such. While initially reluctant to accept this familial bond, Dokja eventually reciprocates their affections, [[spoiler: even referring to Persephone as "mother".]] |
| 84 | * HiddenDepths: When the first scenario starts, he initially tries to quell the violence in the train car by scattering Lee Gilyoung's grasshoppers. But Kim Namwoo pointed out that Dokja could have easily saved the whole train car if he had just told them about the grasshopper's eggs. Showing how despite Dokja protecting others, he still has a cold streak and has few qualms with sacrificing others. |
| 85 | * HornedHumanoid: When he becomes [[spoiler: the Demon King of Salvation]], he gains horns on his head as well as dark wings. |
| 86 | * InformedLoner: He states at the beginning of the story how he was alone for most of his life, and how TWSA was a sort of companion for him through all his rough spots. [[spoiler: Of course there is a [[DarkAndTroubledPast reason as to why he is shunned by many people.]]]] |
| 87 | * IconicOutfit: While Dokja has worn many outfits throughout the story, his most recognizable outfit is the white trench coat along with black shirt and black pants. |
| 88 | * IdentityImpersonator: He pretends to be Yoo Joonghyuk when going against the prophets. Later on he ups his disguise by getting a mask that allows him to wear Yoo Joonghyuk's face. Many other times he will refer to himself as Yoo Joonghyuk when interacting with possible enemies. |
| 89 | * IHaveManyNames: Dokja gains many titles throughout his journey, such as [[spoiler: "King of No Killing"]], [[spoiler: "King of a Kingless World"]], and [[spoiler: Demon King of Salvation]]. |
| 90 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Dokja basically gives this speech when [[spoiler: Yoo Joonghyuk is under the Cinema Master's control and has to fight him]]. He talks about all of the events Yoo Joonghyuk had suffered through in the original canon and how Dokja had been cheering him on because he too wanted to survive. |
| 91 | * LaserBlade: His sword, "Unbroken Faith" that he managed to reforge. |
| 92 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: To his mother, whether he likes it or not. [[spoiler: Both consider themselves largely irredeemable, have issues expressing their true feelings and are deeply dedicated to their loved ones to the point that they are willing to sacrifice themselves for them, even if said loved ones wished they wouldn't.]] |
| 93 | * KissingUnderTheInfluence: Averted. Due to Dionysus's intervention, he and Sangah almost kiss each other due to the alcohol's influence. Thanks to the Fourth Wall's skill, Dokja is able to sober up immediately and just as quickly snaps Sangah out of her drunken stupor. |
| 94 | * MadnessMantra: At one point, his mind starts to break down, leading him to repeat "I am Yoo Jonghyuk" in an attempt to stay sane. |
| 95 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Partially due to the dokkaebi's, one of his titles in the later half of the scenarios was, "The Ugliest King". Despite not quite caring about his looks, Dokja can't help but feel offended every time he's called that and actively intervenes when that title is about to be brought up. |
| 96 | * MartialPacifist: Thanks to the attribute [[spoiler: King of No Killing]] he can be resurrected once for every one hundred lives he saves. However, it's under the condition that he cannot kill anything of the same species as him, or the skill will immediately be revoked. This leads Dokja to have his teammates do the dirty work for him or manipulate others in a way that benefits him. He can still slice limbs off to protect himself and his group. [[spoiler: He gives up this skill after killing the boss possessed by Orochi.]] |
| 97 | * MartyrWithoutACause: Has the bad habit of devising plans that only put himself at risk [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice even it means his own death]]]] even in situations that aren't necessarily life threatening. This actually hampers the growth of his party since they can't grow without facing any hardships and they tend to get a lot stronger when he's not around. [[spoiler: It also gets lampshaded by the party itself who grow increasingly sick of his suicidal habits and refusal to rely on them.]] |
| 98 | * MeaningfulName: His name can have three meanings, "reader", "solo" and "main character's name", which fits into the story he's in. |
| 99 | * MommasBoy: Averted. During his illusion, he was forced to remember a certain moment about his mother and he was immediately sickened by the memory. [[spoiler: As it turns out, the pair are barely able to get along the next time they see one another. While Lee Sookyung makes some attempts to patch their relationship, Dokja wants nothing more to do with her.]] However, when Lee Sookyung, [[spoiler: is about to be devoured by the Fourth Wall, Dokja deep down does not want to see his mother die and manages to rescue her. This is as far as his kindness to her extends.]] |
| 100 | * NakedOnRevival: After facing the dragon on the Night of the Prophets and attaining the title [[spoiler: "King of No Killing"]] Kim Dokja wakes up completely naked. It takes his group a couple moments to realize this before they quickly throw a robe on him. When he comes back a second time, he has to scramble to get his clothes, while Yoo Joonghyuk glares at him from behind, believing the former had truly died in front of his eyes. |
| 101 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He delivers these multiple times from Yoo Joonghyuk and even [[spoiler: his high school bully who he meets in the new world.]] He gets an especially cathartic one, [[spoiler: when beating up the dokkaebi Paul, who continued to mess with the fifth scenario and forced Shin Yoosung's future self to be killed.]] |
| 102 | * NoSell: His personal ability, the FourthWall, grants him immunity to most mental and psychological effects, such as MindReading or inducing trauma. [[spoiler: Though over time, it doesn't fair quite as well to things relating to Dokja's own traumas.]] |
| 103 | * NotSoAboveItAll: |
| 104 | ** He's not above bribing or using his knowledge of the original canon against people, especially when it concerns Joonghyuk. Also despite his outwardly calm attitude that he tries to project, there are some moments that occur early on that have him internally annoyed and frustrated at the people around him. Whenever he sees the opportunity, he'll tease or even ''hit'' [[VitriolicBestBuds Yoo Joonghyuk]] if he knows he'll suffer no repercussions for his actions. |
| 105 | ** Especially when he pretends to be Yoo Joonghyuk and gets annoyed when the people he's negotiating with ask their boss if this was really Yoo Joonghyuk since the novel described him as really handsome, which Dokja was not. Their boss waves it off as maybe the author having their own taste, which only serves to piss of Dokja who curses at him internally. |
| 106 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Dokja introduces himself as a 28 year old salary man, but you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a lot younger than that based on the most of the artwork for the story. When they first meet, Yoo Joonghyuk asks Dokja to refer to him with honorifics, but Dokja counters it by saying since Yoo Joonghyuk is the younger one, ''he'' should refer to Dokja with honorifics. In terms of looks, everyone else sees him as just an average person. |
| 107 | * PapaWolf: Played hilariously, something he doesn't seem to notice. When he decides to help Shin Yoosung as [[spoiler: her supporting constellation]] he becomes horrified at the thought of her leaving him if she sees how handsome Yoo Joonghyuk is. He then becomes hellbent on making sure he can do whatever it takes to make sure the two don't meet, even noting that he was basically raising Shin Yoosung. |
| 108 | * ParentalSubstitute: Both just as Kim Dokja, and also as [[spoiler: a Constellation]], he is this to Lee Gilyeong, Shin Yoosung, and Biyoo respectively. Technically speaking, [[spoiler: in the context of Constellations and Incarnations basically having familial bond, he is this to Iris Rebezova, and ''Yoo Joonghyuk'' of all people thanks to the context of the 0th Regression.]] |
| 109 | * {{Patricide}}: Claims to Sangah that his mother was the one who killed his father. [[spoiler: But the truth is later revealed that Dokja as a child was the one who killed his father in order to protect his mother. Lee Sookyung took the blame for the murder and went to prison instead of her son.]] |
| 110 | * PetTheDog: Despite his and Bihyeong's somewhat rocky relationship, even Kim Dokja is annoyed at [[spoiler: Dokgak for claiming Bihyeong violated the rules and subsequently lowered his channel rating and powers. He gets back at Dokgak by luring ''his'' constellations to Bihyeong's channel, allowing Bihyeong to grow in size and get the upper hand.]] |
| 111 | * PowerCopying: With his "Bookmark" ability, he can copy the abilities of up to three character saved in his bookmarks. Although the lower his understanding of them, the less their full skills will be activated and it only lasts for up to a minute. |
| 112 | * PsychicBlockDefense: The Fourth Wall's special ability for Dokja, usually protecting his mind from being overwhelmed by the scenarios that unravel before him. It also makes him immune to any kind ability used to "read" him, up to and including mind reading, ability analysis and future sight. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for him it doesn't block the stress and emotions he feels related to anything from before the scenarios like his old bullies or his mother and it can be disabled just like any other skill, leaving him completely defenseless during certain scenarios.]] |
| 113 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: He gets poked fun of for this by others in his group. Jeong Huiwon joked that one king who took beautiful men and women into his harem would immediately just make Dokja his slave. When posing as Yoo Joonghyuk, people who read the original TWSA get disappointed he's not as good looking as texts claimed. Hilariously, Dokja himself acknowledges he isn't that handsome, but gets annoyed when people point it out to his face. |
| 114 | * {{Salaryman}}: This was Dokja's job alongside Yoo Sangah and Han Myungoh as members of Minosoft before the apocalypse turned everything upside down. |
| 115 | * ScrewDestiny: He ends up turning the world on its head by either twisting some rules around or overtly turning against it and breaking them. This results in him becoming [[spoiler: the "King of a Kingless World"]] but earning the wrath and hatred of one of the top dokkaebi's as a result for his impudence. |
| 116 | * SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Level three of his Omniscient Reader skill. For Yoo Joonghyuk [[spoiler: he can even momentarily possess his body while seeing through his eyes.]] This skill does leave him incredibly exhausted afterwards, so he has to be careful at how often and how long he does it. [[spoiler: Later on though, it turns out that he can also use it to possess other characters as well, such as the 41st Shin Yoosung, or Lee Hyeonseong.]] |
| 117 | * SelfServingMemory: [[spoiler:His mother stabbing his father in self-defense is a fiction she created to protect him, further reinforced by her publishing a novel with this narrative. In reality, in a scuffle the father died by Dokja's hands, and she immediately told him a different interpretation to take the blame, which he doesn't relaize until years later.]] |
| 118 | * StockLightNovelHero: Subverted. Dokja appears to be this at the beginning. He seems to be a {{Stoic}} {{Salaryman}} with StoryBreakerPower in a BadassLongcoat, but it soon becomes clear he [[spoiler: has absolutely no talent to learn ANY skill, everyone thinks he is ugly, and is actually pretty weak compared to everyone else. The only thing he got going for him besides his knowledge on the story and his [[PsychicBlockDefense Fourth Wall]] is his innate ability to emphasize and relate to stories and characters which allows him to capitalize on his Omniscient Reader skills and later on acquire small stories easier.]] |
| 119 | * SuperSpeedReading: He gains this ability early on which helps him quickly go through the novel and figure out what next step to take. |
| 120 | * {{Telepathy}}: |
| 121 | ** His skill, the titular "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint" lets him see narrations of what other characters are feeling or about to do, which helps him dodge Kim Namwoon's attacks. This doesn't work on zombies. |
| 122 | ** He gains this once he unlocks his level 2 ability after meeting Joonghyuk, allowing him to read the thoughts of others, though he must have sufficient understanding to do so. It also doesn't work on characters that might not have appeared in TWAS to begin with. |
| 123 | * TheFaceless: ''Something'' [[spoiler: makes his face ''very'' hard to remember or even see to many Incarnations, with even certain members of Kim Dokja's company such as Lee Jihye being unable to remember what he really looks like until the story progresses. It's one of the reasons his "Ugliest King" nickname ends up being as prevalent as it does.]] |
| 124 | * {{Troll}}: He's totally fine with putting those he doesn't like in danger after he cryptically warns them of how they might regret their actions. He also frustrates and scares Bihyeong due to his unpredictability and their deal that he gets coins in exchange for his contract with the demon. |
| 125 | * UnlimitedWardrobe: He changes his clothes quite a lot throughout the story (mainly due to him [[spoiler: dying and coming back [[NakedOnRevival without any clothes on]]). Even when he settles onto his IconicOutfit, he sometimes gets new clothes for a special event. |
| 126 | * VitriolicBestBuds: |
| 127 | ** With Jeong Huiwon, the two trading playful barbs and Jeong Huiwon quick to call out Dokja's BS when she senses it. |
| 128 | ** Also with Yoo Joonghyuk after the two finally begin to consider each other companions, with Yoo Joonghyuk barely tolerating Dokja and his nonsense and vice versa. When it comes down to it though, they would lay down their lives for one another. |
| 129 | ** ''Very'' much this with [[spoiler: Han Sooyoung]], with the pair going from enemies to practically best friends as the Scenarios continue. Even though they are constantly trash-talking each other, [[spoiler: Han Sooyoung ends up making Dokja promise to read the book that she's going to write once the scenarios are over, with Dokja gladly agreeing to do so.]] |
| 130 | * WeakButSkilled: At the start of the story, he comes off like this especially against [[TheProtagonist Yoo Joonghyuk]], where he has to rely on his savviness and on picking up items to help boost his skills. He does get physically stronger as time goes on, but he prefers relying on his brains and playing to the constellation's favor regarding him over actually fighting. |
| 131 | * WhatWouldXDo: When put into some rough spots, Dokja would sometimes wonder how Yoo Joonghyuk would handle the situation. He sometimes takes the protagonist's approach, but usually opts to do things his own way. |

| 148 | ---- |
| 149 | The main character of TWSA, who appears alongside Dokja and his journey in the altered canon. |
| 150 | ---- |
| 151 | * AntiHero: The apocalyptic future has left him jaded and cold [[spoiler: especially when he has to relive it right from the start whenever he dies.]] |
| 152 | * BadassLongcoat: He wears a black one. |
| 153 | * BerserkButton: |
| 154 | ** Played with. Dokja sort of becomes one for him, granted the former knows what buttons to push. Later on they become more friendly. |
| 155 | ** He easily loses his temper if the situation has something to do with his family. Dokja exploits this and nearly gets beheaded by Yoo Joonghyuk once he gets his flag and makes a beeline to Dokja demanding to know where Dokja hid his sister. |
| 156 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He participates in the King scenario, only because Kim Dokja had claimed he hid his sister somewhere. When he finally gets his black flag and violently confronts Dokja, he forces Dokja into a panic trying to avoid his sword slashes and not being decapitated. He very nearly kills Dokja when the other withholds information about his family and is in a berserk like rage until a dokkaebi arrives. |
| 157 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Under [[spoiler: the Cinema Master's control]], where he comes off as an emotionless puppet who ends up fighting Dokja and the group. |
| 158 | * ChickMagnet: A lot of women find him incredibly attractive. In his past runs, he had the King of Beauty, the Poisoner, and possibly Lee Jihye having romantic feelings for him. |
| 159 | * CurbStompBattle: Given he is the protagonist, he gives many of these which leaves Dokja on edge in their initial meetings. He even easily wipes out three of the kings without breaking a sweat. |
| 160 | * CursedWithAwesome: His "regression" ability allows him to go back in time, at the cost of potentially watching his loved ones die again and again if he makes a mistake, and slowly becoming all the [[SanitySlippage more willing to die]] as the regressions go on. Not to mention having to watch his loved ones forget him ''again and again.'' |
| 161 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He's more of an anti-hero than an outright villain. While he'll assist some people if he sees some benefit from it, he'll more often than not do what he wants to and anyone else who follows him is none of his concern. |
| 162 | * DeathGlare: He gives plenty of these with many cowering the second they see it. He even has a glare on his face when he passes out. |
| 163 | * DeathSeeker: His ability to regress and travel back in time makes him this, with Dokja noting that even certain inconveniences can cause him to want to ''kill'' himself. |
| 164 | * {{Determinator}}: He has died multiple times but is able to come back thanks to his ability, and every time he tries to change the timeline of the story. |
| 165 | * EmptyEyes: How he looks [[spoiler: when he's under the Cinema Master's control and believes he's all alone.]] |
| 166 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: When Dokja disguising himself as Yoo Joonghyuk meets some of the "disciples", in the webtoons a few guys come up to comment on how Yoo Joonghyuk really does look handsome with some [[LuminescentBlush even blushing off to the side]]. |
| 167 | --> "If someone saw those features and not get immediately drawn in by them, then there must be something wrong with that person." |
| 168 | * GoldenEnding : His goal during [[spoiler: his 999th Regression is to ensure the survival of each and every one of his Companions, knowing that the odds of them seeing the end of the Scenarios was slim while his were greater due to his ability to simply go through another regression turn. As such, he spends his time in this regression using an Outer World Covenant and enlisting the help of the Secretive Plotter in order to help his companions survive. By the end of the scenarios, the 999th regression Yoo Joonghyuk has lost ''an arm, a leg, and both his eyes'' just to help his companions make it to the end.]] |
| 169 | * GroundhogPeggySue: He has the ability to rewind time to the start of scenario after he dies. While he doesn't show it to others, it becomes clear later on that his revivals and being thrown back into the time loop have not only jaded him but also shattered his mind. |
| 170 | * {{Hunk}}: His depiction on the novel cover and in the webtoon sure seems to point this out. He's also described as very handsome in the original TWSA and in Dokja's canon. |
| 171 | * IdentityImpersonator: He calls himself "Kim Dokja" [[spoiler: after he kills Dokja when he became the Demon King]] as a way to hopefully find the other in future scenarios. |
| 172 | * InsultOfEndearment: Kim Dokja calls him a sunfish, due to how easily he gives up when put under enough pressure. |
| 173 | * IWorkAlone: After all he went through in previous timelines, he's become used to working alone and not trusting others. |
| 174 | --> "To him, all ''humans'' are either his subordinates or his enemies." |
| 175 | * LivingLieDetector: He has an ability which makes him able to tell whether or not someone is lying to him. It doesn't work as well on Dokja who's special ability even blocks his ''Eye of the Sage'' if he tries to read his character bio. |
| 176 | * LimitedWardrobe: Unlike Dokja, Joonghyuk is seen only in his iconic black getup. |
| 177 | * LonelyAtTheTop: He had this fate in the original canon. Dokja tells the allies he recruits that he doesn't want to have a lonely future like a certain character he read about. |
| 178 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Despite physically being younger than Dokja, his existence as a Regressor in his third iteration means he's ''mentally'' much older than he seems. |
| 179 | * PerpetualFrowner: There's hardly a moment when his face isn't pinched down in some kind of scowl. However, when he's ''really'' pissed off, it's best to not see him in that state. |
| 180 | * PracticallyDifferentGenerations: He has a younger sister whom he's very protective of. However, he looks like he could be her father while she looks elementary school age. |
| 181 | * PromotionToParent: It's unknown what happened to his parents, but he looked after his little sister throughout his regressions. |
| 182 | * TheProtagonist: He was this in the original canon of TWSA. |
| 183 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: He has come back multiple times and when he meets Dokja, he's confused as to how the plot of the story changed, since Kim Namwoon and Lee Hyunsung were supposed to be the only survivors. He also recalls every "run" he goes through and wonders if things are changing because he acted differently. |
| 184 | * ResurrectionDeathLoop: The main drawback of his "Regression" stigma, making him return to the beginning of the first Scenario every time he gets killed or kills him again and again and ''again.'' |
| 185 | * SanitySlippage: Each regression he goes through ends up causing this to him, some regressions more than others. |
| 186 | * SociopathicHero: Kim Dokja remembers that in the story of ''Ways of Survival'' Yoo Joonghyuk has entered the time loop for the third time and became quite TheUnfettered due to not having anyone to rely upon for the longest time. Sure enough, when they first meet, Yoo Joonghyuk is more than willing to kill anyone he doesn't see trustworthy or useful. |
| 187 | * StockLightNovelHero: Junghyeok Yu is the literal protagonist of the original novel, and fits this trope to a T. |
| 188 | * TheStoic: He rarely shows much emotion, and he only seems to really lose his temper the most around Dokja. |
| 189 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He and his little sister look like the spitting image of one another in the webcomic, scowling face and all. |
| 190 | * SupremeChef: He prefers cooking his own food mainly due to being the target of poison attempts in the past, and his food is downright delicious. Kim Dokja, despite wanting to disbelieve it, has to concede that his cooking is actually really good. |
| 191 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: He fits all of these tropes and easily towers over most of the other characters. |
| 192 | --> "Eyebrows seemingly drawn by a single, uninterrupted stroke of a famed artist's brush; a nose and a chin shaped in perfect angles that defied attempts to measure them through mere devices of men; a pair of deep eyes seemingly carved out of a beautiful jewel containing all the misfortunes found in the world." |
| 193 | * TraumaCongaLine: As [[spoiler: Dokja fights Yoo Joonghyuk while he's under the Cinema Master's control]] through all his regressions, he apparently went through: losing his sister, died after being betrayed by the prophet, had a child with the person he'd fallen in love with for the first time only to lose that child and go mad, the list goes on and on. Basically, it's amazing this guy is even functioning after all that he's suffered through in his life. |
| 194 | * TimeLoopFatigue: This is what his "Regression Depression" acts as, making him more and more of a DeathSeeker as time goes on. |
| 195 | * VitriolicBestBuds: His feelings towards Dokja varies from arc to arc. He either can't stand being near Dokja, is paranoid of what knowledge he knows about the world, or just becomes interested in him. Later on, he does start to see Dokja more as a [[TrueCompanions ally and friend]]. |
| 196 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: He's actually younger than Dokja despite his looks. When they first meet Yoo Joonghyuk tells Dokja to refer to him with honorifics and the other snipes back that it's Yoo Joonghyuk who should be referring to him with honorifics. |

| 214 | ---- |
| 215 | A woman who Dokja and the others meet later who also has knowledge of the TWSA novel, but also plagiarized the story under a different pseudonym. |
| 216 | ---- |
| 217 | * ActuallyADoombot: Whenever Han Sooyoung appears to be killed, often it turns out to just be one of her Avatar clones, who are not only indistinguishable from her, but also allow her to cheat certain memory-reading or contractual abilities. |
| 218 | * BadassLongcoat: Like Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk, she later on gains a long coat and looks damn badass in it. |
| 219 | * CardCarryingVillain: She often remarks that if Dokja wants to play a hero, she'll be his villain becuase someone has to play dirty to make progress. |
| 220 | * DarkIsNotEvil: She wears dark clothes in her first few appearances, but she's just more of an anti-hero. She even ends up getting sponsored by the Abyssal Flame Back Dragon, noted to be of the evil alignment. |
| 221 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: She usually has a decent plan going into something, but fails to have a backup if she fails, or something unexpected were to happen. Dokja is more than happy to points out these flaws, to her annoyance. |
| 222 | * FightingAShadow: When they meet the leader of the disciples, Dokja quickly surmises that they were an "author" and thus were using this form as an avatar. Yoo Joonghyuk ends up killing the avatar, but Han Sooyoung lives on. During the scenarios, it's revealed she had made multiple avatars to infiltrated the other king's groups and steal their jewels later on. She later reveals to Dokja that each clone is made of her memories and she'll lose those memories if she's not careful with them or they go berserk on her. |
| 223 | * HeelFaceTurn: Is introduced leading the prophets but after [[spoiler: Kim Dokja becomes the King of a Kingless World and saves her in Minosoft,]] slowly becomes more and more familiar to the others before outright joining [[spoiler: Kim Dokja's Company.]] Even then, she's still one of the most ruthless of the companions. |
| 224 | * HumansAreBastards: Believes this, after all she's been through and can't see the people they end up helping eventually stabbing them in the backs. While her views soften a bit over time, she still is very paranoid and doesn't trust newcomers easily. |
| 225 | * HypocriticalHumor: After she [[spoiler: steals from the other kings so she could obtain an incredibly powerful weapon]], it ends up not working for her and Dokja ends up stealing that and her flag from her. She hisses and calls him a "thief". |
| 226 | * InTheHood: While it was through her avatars, most of her early appearances has her wearing a hood to hide her face, and her first outfit is a dark hoodie. |
| 227 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Since she plagiarized TWSA, she's very aware of what plot beats would spell the end of the world for them if they aren't taken care of. While this doesn't excuse her actions, she does have a reason for being as ruthless as she is. |
| 228 | * MesACrowd: She can use her Avatars offensively to overpower or to distract opponents. |
| 229 | * MostWritersAreWriters: While plagiarized, she did write her own version of TWSA. |
| 230 | * OnlySaneMan: After she and Dokja [[spoiler: free the others from the Coin Farm but they immediately fight each other for left over items]] she calls out their short-sightedness and tells them they need to stick together to survive, not kill each other. |
| 231 | * OralFixation: Later on, she always has candy in her mouth. |
| 232 | * PlagiarismInFiction: She plagiarized the story of TWSA for her own novel, "SSSSS-grade Infinite Regressor". While this gave her an advantage when the world came to them, Dokja is always ready to call her out on not even bothering to change lines to something else when she says something from the novel word for word. |
| 233 | * SamusIsAGirl: Her First Apostole and [[spoiler:Cha Sahgkyung's assistant]] identities use male Avatars before she appears in person. |
| 234 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She tries to get the hell out of dodge after [[spoiler: freeing the other people from the coin farm]]. Too bad Dokja outclasses her in terms of speed and strength, so he easily catches up to her. |
| 235 | * SelfPlagiarism: After [[spoiler: the Coin Farm]] she gives the group a speech to rally them together and takes off. Dokja immediately chases after her, reads her phone and realizes she's plagiarizing her own words now. |
| 236 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Seems to slowly form this relationship with Kim Dokja, but most of the time the two continue to trade snipes and insults at one another. By the end, [[spoiler: She trusts Kim Dokja even that she wants him to become the first person to read the novel she will write when the Scenarios are over.]] |
| 237 | * YouOweMe: The reason Dokja chases after her [[spoiler: after the Coin Farm]] as he claims that since he helped her, she owes him. |
| 238 | * WrongGenreSavvy: She has enough knowledge of the original TWSA works to play some scenarios to her advantage. However, since she just plagiarized a part of the work, and hadn't read the full thing like Kim Dokja did, even she gets blindsided. She remarks how cliches are played up for a reason, only for some of those schemes to come back to bite her. |

| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | A co-worker of Kim Dokja who happens to be on the same subway as Kim Dokja and finds herself dragged into the scenarios. She's intelligent and kind-hearted, serving as the center of the group. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * AintTooProudToBeg: During the Paradise Arc, she searches far and wide for Yoo Jonghyuk to plead for him to save Dokja. As she reveals to him a prophecy, [[spoiler: that Kim Dokja would be killed by the one he loved the most.]] |
| 257 | * CunningLinguist: She was learning Spanish before the scenarios started. Then when the group run into The Warden, she's able to understand and communicate with it. She's stated to know four other languages as well. |
| 258 | * DamselInDistress: She gets put in some of these situations at the beginning, but she does get better and becomes one of Dokja's scariest allies in a fight. |
| 259 | * DarkIsNotEvil: She ends up changing from her light colored office suit to darker gear that accentuates how much colder she's become since being separated from Dokja's party. However, she's still a kind soul, but has clearly lost some of her positivity during the short timeskip. |
| 260 | * DeclarationOfPersonalIndependence: [[spoiler: What her working for Minosoft turned out to be. Her family had insisted she shouldn't find a job and instead just marry a rich man, saying that she doesn't need to do anything besides look pretty. Sangah instead applied for Minosoft, wanting to both prove her abilities and declare her independence against her stifling family.]] |
| 261 | * DeusExMachina: She gets saved by her sponsor through this during the groups second scenario. |
| 262 | * ExhaustedEyeBags: After being separated and reuniting with Dokja, Sangah visibly has dark bags beneath her eyes in the webtoons. She also has become visibly colder and more willing to kill others. |
| 263 | * GoldColoredSuperiority: She can use a thread of golden light to wrap around her allies to hoist them away from danger, or tie up her enemies. It also seems pretty unbreakable. |
| 264 | * GoodIsNotSoft: After reuniting with Dokja, she is noticeably colder, more scarred, and more willing to kill to survive. She does show her kind side as she was willing to give away food to the starving people they run into when they have enough to spare. When Han Sooyoung chides her for being soft, Yoo Sangah coldly tells Han Sooyoung that if she wanted to, she could kill ''everyone'' around them, but being empathetic is not a weakness. |
| 265 | * KissingUnderTheInfluence: Subverted. She and Dokja nearly share a kiss after Dionysus's intervention, but thankfully, Dokja's able to sober up through the Fourth Wall and quickly gets her to stop. She's embarrassed afterwards when she realizes what she almost did. |
| 266 | * LightIsGood: She has a light color palette and is overall someone who tries to do good. This gets changed later after Dokja finds her again wearing darker clothes - but she's still in the good alignment. |
| 267 | * NeverGetsDrunk: The third type. When she and Dokja are drinking after the fifth scenario, she admits she had to learn to be able to hold her liquor since she knew a lot of men at their company would try to get her drunk. She allows herself to be inebriated in front of Dokja because she trusts him and feels safe with him. |
| 268 | * NiceGirl: She's introduced as a polite girl who tries to be friendly with Dokja as the two ride the subway together. She attempts to help someone whenever she can, even if it puts her at risk. According to others, it was Yoo Sangah who actively sought out Dokja and tried to be friendly with him when they were working together at the company. Han Sooyoung even asks Dokja if she was a novel heroine, because of how kind she acted towards others. |
| 269 | * ObliviousToLove: She didn't realize Han Myungoh was in love with her. To be fair, [[AllLoveIsUnrequited she didn't reciprocate his feelings]] and was clearly angered when she found out he deliberately stole her bike in an attempt to get her to ride in his car. |
| 270 | * PowerStrainBlackout: When she uses her ability to the limit, she ends up blacking out and falling unconscious. So one of her teammates has to carry her to safety. |
| 271 | * RazorFloss: Initially, she would use her golden thread to merely capture and entangle her opponents. When Dokja finds her again, she's able to ''slice off'' the body parts of those unfortunate enough to touch or trip onto it. |
| 272 | * SilkHidingSteel: Slowly turns into this as she TookALevelInBadass but never losing her kind and caring personality. [[spoiler: Turns out she was this well before the scenarios started, having used her impression as a soft-spoken and friendly girl to get away with putting pepper into her superiors' coffee to get back at them for abusing their interns.]] |
| 273 | * SoBeautifulItsACurse: Downplayed. Sangah is noted by a lot of characters to be rather pretty looking. This has lead her getting the attention of a few unscrupulous characters like Han Myungoh and Ilsang Myeong. |
| 274 | * SpannerInTheWorks: If she had decided to take up Han Myungoh's offer to ride in his car with him since her bike was stolen, she wouldn't have been on the subway with Dokja and survived this far into the scenarios. |
| 275 | * SpoiledSweet: Comes from a rich family but doesn't have a single mean bone in her. |
| 276 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: She clearly ''loathes'' having to work alongside Han Sooyoung due to her clones and prophets attacking her group at the subway. However, she only goes through with it because she trusts Dokja's judgement that much. |

| 293 | * ArmorOfInvincibility: Thanks to his sponsor, Master of Steel, and under the right conditions, he's able to gain a suit of armor that practically makes him invincible. |
| 294 | * BerserkButton: When he sees innocent people being used as hostages or treated horribly, he instantly loses his gentle and calm persona. |
| 295 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He manages to cross the bridge while holding Gilyoung in his arms. |
| 296 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: He along with Huiwon and Jihye are the first to get real drunk after the fifth scenario. |
| 297 | * DamagerHealerTank: Dokja describes him as the tank character from the original novel. He also is able to deal a lot of damage early on, leaving him as the heavy hitter of the group. |
| 298 | * GentleGiant: He's one of the tallest and biggest members of the party and is a good person who tries to do the right thing. In a battle most of the time he tries to defend and protect everyone else instead of outright fighting. |
| 299 | * GoodIsNotNice: While he does his best to be kind to others, he has his limits. When attempts to stop other players from entering the island, he literally grabs one and tosses him back from where he came. |
| 300 | * HiddenDepths: During his illusion trial, something happened in his past during the military that leads him to panic and quickly try to reassert himself as a loyal soldier. He also tells Dokja that despite being in the army, he wasn't really relied upon and when Dokja offers to hear more of his story after they finish up their business in the area he starts to open up more to Dokja. |
| 301 | * {{Hunk}}: His body shape is almost similar to Yoo Joonghyuk's, with many people, women especially taking notice and admiring his physique. Some men, Dokja included, also can't help but admire his body at times. |

| 303 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He's given a shield in the early parts of the scenario, which he uses to protect his allies. |
| 304 | * NiceGuy: He's overall a nice person and just wants to protect as many people as he can. After Dokja helps him out multiple times as well as gives him a shield, he becomes completely loyal to the other. |
| 305 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He tries to act like this at the start of the scenario in order to keep everyone calm. [[ForegoneConclusion It doesn't work unfortunately]]. |
| 306 | * ShipTease: He's noticeably flustered and demure in Jeong Huiwon's presence, sometimes even blushing when he's around her. Even Uriel notices, getting prickly when Lee Hyunsung speaks to Jeong Huiwon alone. |
| 307 | * ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: He throws his shield to Dokja who catches and uses it to protect him from the turret fire. |
| 308 | * TranquilFury: When stopping other players from entering the island, he looks calm but is clearly pissed off as he wonders when he'll see Dokja again. |

| 325 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: He asks Dokja if he's a god or a protagonist since he seems to know a lot about what's happening in their current world. Dokja manages to deflect so he doesn't reveal too much, but is surprised that Gilyeong is that observant. |

| 327 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: After the first challenge, Dokja tells the boy they need to work together to survive Gilyoung attaches himself to the older man. Every other person in the group immediately take the boy under their wing and look after him. Later on, he becomes this as a pair with Shin Yoosung as the Scenarios continue. |
| 328 | * BadassBookworm: Since he's fascinated with bugs he's read plenty of books about them. In the Cinema Master's first level, he recognizes the prehistoric mantis and immediately points out the T-Rex's weakness, saying he read a book about it when he was "younger" to the shock of the other adults around him. |
| 329 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: When Dokja asks everyone to pay for the food he gives them, he sends twenty coins to Dokja for the pocky he was eating and the chocolate he gave him the other day without a fuss. Gilyoung attempts to give Dokja some of his food down in the subway, but he tells the boy that he can eat it all. Despite some of Dokja's shadier actions, he has complete faith in the man and points out if he was only after items, he wouldn't have saved his life back on the subway. |
| 330 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: He doesn't speak much, but the fact that Joonghyuk sees great potential in the boy says a whole lot. |
| 331 | * BigBrotherInstinct: As Yoo Joonghyuk glares at Shin Yoosung during the selection process, Gilyeong notices how scared she looks and steps between the two, holding his arm out in front of Yoosung. |
| 332 | * {{Bookworm}}: He apparently read a lot of books before the apocalypse came down as he was able to identify a prehistoric grasshopper from a book he read was he was younger. Yes, ''younger''. |
| 333 | * BugCatching: His introduction scene has him holding a cage of grasshoppers and his skills in the scenario allow him to communicate with bugs and creatures. |
| 334 | * ChekhovsGun: Dokja makes note of the boy's cage full of grasshoppers when he's on the subway. Later on, he uses the grasshoppers in order to fulfill the mission to kill a living thing, even handing one to Gilyoung so he can live. |
| 335 | * ClingyChild: At the start of the scenarios, he's taken to attaching himself to Dokja's side and hisses at Shin Yoosung who tries to stick to Dokja as well. Whenever Dokja returns, Gilyoung is quick to run over and hug Dokja, refusing to let go. |
| 336 | * CreepyChild: In the webcomic when [[spoiler: the parasite queen]] runs into him trying to find a host, Gilyeong looks downright ''terrifying''. |
| 337 | * DissonantSerenity: He seems to have adjusted a lot better than most of the adults in the scenario as he calmly goes through each mission and is willing to get his hands dirty. |
| 338 | * DragonRider: He becomes this alongside Shin Yoosung after [[spoiler: taming the Chimera Dragon.]] |
| 339 | * DragonTamer: Alongside Shin Yoosung after [[spoiler: they manage to tame the Chimera Dragon trapped in Paradise.]] |
| 340 | * HarmfulToMinors: He watched his aunt and many others being killed on the subway in front of his eyes. After the mission is over, he seems to be in mild shock over it all. It's implied during his illusion trial as he tearfully apologizes to his mother that this moment still haunts him and has likely scarred him for life. |
| 341 | * HeadbuttingHeroes: He and Shin Yoosung almost immediately don't get along with each other when seeing how close they were to [[HeroWorship Dokja]]. While they can work together when needed, most of the time the two are clinging to Dokja and hissing at one another to leave Dokja alone. |
| 342 | * HeroicBSOD: Even though he's taking being the apocalypse fairly well, he's still a little kid and witnessed a lot of things a kid his age shouldn't have. This is shown when in his illusion he crumbled to the floor holding his head as he tearfully apologized to his mother. |
| 343 | * HeroWorshipper: To him, Dokja's word is law and he outright trusts in Dokja's decisions over anyone else's. He gets visibly depressed when Kim Dokja leaves the group and he wonders how he can make himself useful to his hyung. |
| 344 | * OnlyTheChosenMayWield: In the cinema reward area, Lee Jihye tries to lift up a replica of Mjolnir with little success. Gilyoung casually strides by and easily lifts the hammer up. |
| 345 | * PsychicNosebleed: When he uses his ability too much, he starts getting a visible nosebleed, prompting Dokja to have to snap him out of it and tell the boy to stop using his powers. |
| 346 | * TheQuietOne: He doesn't speak often, but he's more open when Dokja is around. After him and Shin Yoosung hits it off, the two become way more chatty. |
| 347 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: His attribute [Bug Collector] allows him to have simple conversations with bugs using the ''Interspecies Communication'' skill. This also allows him to tactfully get information to help Dokja and the group. |
| 348 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: As the group fight off some monsters in the subway, he even calmly tells Dokja it was okay to leave him behind if he was slowing the older man down. Later on he's perfectly calm and capable of bashing in the heads of adults and killing them to protect Dokja. This leaves [[NiceGirl Yoo Sangah]] visibly disturbed and offers to fight off the adults in Gilyeong's stead. |
| 349 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Dokja. Even when offered by Yoo Joonghyuk to join him to become stronger than he would be by staying with Dokja, Gilyoung refuses. |
| 350 | * VitriolicBestBuds: He and Shin Yoosung will butt heads for Dokja's attention and affection quite often. The two however, do care for each other, as he's willing to protect her when she needs it and the two work well given their similar skills. |
| 351 | * WideEyedIdealist: While still a little scared of the world, he asks Dokja if they would be granted a wish if they clear all the scenarios, pointing out how stories like these always had prizes at the end. Dokja doesn't bring himself to tell Gilyoung what actually happens and instead allows the boy to remain optimistic. |
| 352 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: He's very perceptive of Dokja's actions, even gently calling him out on letting Han Myungoh get dragged away by the Ground Rats. He also asks Dokja if he's the protagonist or a god since he seems to know more about this world than he's letting on. |

| 365 | ---- |
| 366 | A woman Dokja finds inside a convenience store and saves from the poison inflicted on her and part of the marginalized group in Geumho station. He later decides to have her join them since she seemed to be an interesting character, becoming one of the party's most vital characters and the "sword" of the group. |
| 367 | ---- |
| 368 | * ActionGirl: Her character bio tells Dokja she has skills in kendo and she later tells Hyunsung she can fight since she used to practice kendo. Another one of her skills is ''Demon Hunter''. |
| 369 | * AdaptationalModesty: In the novel where she's first introduced, she's described as wearing a skirt that had been ripped. In the webtoons, she's drawn wearing jeans. |
| 370 | * AscendedExtra: Likely never appeared in the original canon because she was supposed to die, but thanks to Dokja saving her life, she now has a bigger role to play. She lampshades this as the prophet group are excitedly crowding Dokja as "Yoo Joonghyuk" and some girls recognize Lee Hyunsung as the "Greatest Shield" with her wondering why she didn't have a cool title. [[spoiler: Then again, considering the fact that Kim Dokja instructs Yoo Joonghyuk to have her be one of his companions in his 0th Regression, she wasn't really an extra at all, merely a hidden character.]] |
| 371 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: As revealed in Kim Dokja's viewing of [[spoiler: the 0th Regression, she was this, having become a companion of Yoo Joonghyuk's as a result of Kim Dokja giving advice to Yoo Joonghyuk on how to survive.]] |
| 372 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: As she and the others celebrate the ending of the fifth scenario, she's one of three who gets drunk easily. |
| 373 | * DamagerHealerTank: Next to Dokja, she's the one in the group who can easily dish out the most damage, but at the cost of her having the lowest stamina. |
| 374 | * DeathGlare: Can give a rather vicious one if she's truly angered or protecting those she cares for. |
| 375 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the comic when Dokja and his group prepare to go monster hunting, she ties up her long hair into a bun. |
| 376 | * HonorBeforeReason: When she sees women going into the Subway group's tents in order to get coins, she attempts to stop them knowing that they were just going to be used. In the webtoons it's elderly and women being taken away to join the search party whom she attempts to stop. It takes Dokja calmly explains how her actions won't change anything, and that the problem here is that everyone but the main group has a food shortage. |
| 377 | * LeaveHimToMe: Knowing Dokja may attempt to overthrow the main group, Huiwon Jeong tells Dokja to look for a man with a limp. After she explains that he tried to rape her, she coldly requests Dokja to leave him alive because she wants to kill him herself. |
| 378 | * LeftForDead: The main group of men left her to die from the poisonous air in the convenience store after one of them had attempted to rape her. Luckily for her Dokja happened to pass by and after pleading for help, he ends up saving her life. |
| 379 | * OnlySaneMan: She's the only one in the group who doesn't always buy into Dokja's lies that he uses to cover up how he knows the world or how he just so happened to stumble onto really good items for the party to help them survive. The webcomics visualize this with her looking incredibly skeptical, annoyed, or rolling her eyes most of the time. |
| 380 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: One of the men in the main group who has a limp attempted to rape her and she was left behind to die. She intends to repay this act in his blood. It can be inferred during her illusion trap that she was being forced to relive this memory, which still haunts her. |
| 381 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes start glowing red when she activates her powers, which means if you're against her, you'd better run. |
| 382 | * {{Revenge}}: She tells Dokja to not harm the man with the limp because he attempted to rape her and she wants to kill him herself. She gets her revenge in the end. |
| 383 | * SecretCharacter: Never appeared in the original TWSA, but thanks to Dokja saving her [[spoiler: and advising Yoo Joonghyuk to seek her out during the 0th regression, her role ends up being this.]] |
| 384 | * SheCleansUpNicely: In the webcomics, the dress she wears as the Rose character is really easy on the eyes. |
| 385 | * VitriolicBestBuds: She plays off of Dokja like this, constantly teasing or making fun of him. |
| 386 | * WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: Her weapon early on is a wooden katana that she wields, but it can still deal a lot of damage thanks to her skill. In the Cinema Master's area, she does get an actual sword. |

| 400 | ---- |
| 401 | One of the main characters from the original TWSA novel who ends up strangling one of her classmates in order to survive the scenario. Considered as one of the 100 strongest incarnations in the novel and one of Yoo Junghyeok's disciples. |
| 402 | ---- |
| 403 | * BerserkButton: Anyone being incredibly causal with Joonghyuk. When Dokja mentions they were friends, her first reaction is to immediately draw her sword and ask whether or not Dokja was lying. Given Joonghyuk's personality, there are legitimate reasons for her doubts. |
| 404 | * BigSisterInstinct: When a prehistoric mantis jumps out at Gilyoung, she immediately rushes over to help him. Lucky for Gilyoung he makes friends with the mantis. |
| 405 | * BloodKnight: She enjoys fights and is quick to draw her sword if she feels endangered or angry. |
| 406 | * BrokenTears: She doesn't show it when Dokja and Sangah see, but she was clearly broken over having to kill her best friend to survive and it has left a deep scar on her mentally and emotionally. |
| 407 | * BrutalHonesty: She gets straight to the point and doesn't like dawdling, leading her to come off as a bit rude. Shown more in the Cinema Master's area where she was the first one to casually suggest they kill their hostage so they can get the movie over with faster, and since he's the villain and also not a real person anyway they shouldn't feel bad about killing him. |
| 408 | * ButtMonkey: When she's around Dokja and the others, she slowly becomes this. In the cinema area, she loses all of her rock-paper-scissor games to Dokja (who was cheating by reading her mind), she gets sea sick on the Titanic scene, and in the reward area she attempted to pull out Mjolnir with no success. Then Gilyoung strolls by and easily picks it up. |
| 409 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Seeing as Jihye is still a teen, she passes out after managing to snag a bottle of soju when the adults weren't looking. |
| 410 | * GreenAroundTheGills: In the Cinema Master's second scenario, it's revealed she gets sea sick. While he knows the reason why she was chosen by her sponsor, Dokja still briefly wonders ''why'' the "Naval Warfare God" chose her. Then it's revealed [[spoiler: it's not because she's sea sick, but because her best friend whom she had killed loved these movies and it leaves her stricken with guilt over what she had done in order to survive.]] |
| 411 | * HeroicLineage: She's a descendant of [[spoiler: Admiral Lee's comrade, Lee Edokgi]], which comes into play during the "Battle of Myeongnyang" movie. |
| 412 | * HeroicBSOD: Killing your best friend ''will'' damage you in some way, and it lead to Jihye [[spoiler: having a breakdown during one of the movie's that was her friend's favorite film.]] |
| 413 | * HeroWorship: For her, Joonghyuk's word is law after he saved her life alongside a small group of survivors. Since then, she's even taken to calling him "master". Joonghyuk either doesn't care enough to truly pay attention to her or just lets it slide. |
| 414 | * HotBlooded: Out of the other character's, she easily has the shortest temper. |
| 415 | * InTheHood: Jihye Lee's first appearance in the webtoons when she meets the group has her jacket hood covering her face. |
| 416 | * {{Irony}}: Her sponsor is the god of naval warfare... but she gets incredibly sea sick. [[spoiler: It's then revealed she hates ships, especially in the movie they get placed in later because it was her friend's favorite movie.]] |
| 417 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: She wields a katana as her weapon and some people in the other group call her samurai, despite her being Korean. |
| 418 | * KillTheOnesYouLove: The girl she choked to death in the first scenario was her best friend. This leaves some lasting scars on her after the first scenario ends. [[spoiler: In the webtoon adaptation, one scene shows Lee Jihye's friend was actually the one to [[HeroicSacrifice tell Jihye to kill her so she could live]].]] |
| 419 | * LadyLooksLikeADude: In the webcomics, she ditches most of her school uniform for sweat pants and a hoodie. Therefore at a glance it's hard to tell she's a girl until Dokja and Sangah recognize her from the first scenario. When she's put into the Cinema Master's second scenario, she's even dressed in men's clothes. |
| 420 | * LogicalWeakness: Given her modifier, Lee Jihye is at her strongest when she's near a body of water, like an ocean or a moat. However, when neither of those things are present, her strength and swordplay is just enough to keep her alive, but she struggles greatly because of it. |
| 421 | * RomanticFalseLead: She's noted to be this in the original canon by the other readers. |
| 422 | * SignificantWardrobeShift: When she appears in front of Dokja's group, she's kept her school uniform top but now wears track pants and a grey hoodie. The next time they meet, she's ditched her uniform for a sweater, shirt, new pants and a hat. |
| 423 | * SoleSurvivor: She's the only survivor of the Taepung Girl's High School of Class B, forced to kill her best friend in order to survive. |
| 424 | * TomboyishPonytail: She wears her hair like this, and definitely looks the part. |
| 425 | * TraumaButton: The "Battle of Myeongnyang" where she has to [[spoiler: take command as the admiral]] initially leaves her paralyzed with guilt and tears because it was her former friend's favorite movie. Subverted later, after the dokkaebi [[spoiler: splits up Dokja's group]], she wakes up [[spoiler: back at her school]], but only comes off as confused and annoyed at being back at that place. |
| 426 | * TroubledFetalPosition: As Dokja asks her for help fighting back against Pildu Gong, he tells her he remembers her from the first broadcast where she had choked her friend to death to survive. She immediately gets shocked at this information and gets angry at Dokja. After a small speech, he leaves her to her thoughts as his group prepares. She can later be seen sitting on the floor with her knees to her chest as she seems deep in thought. |
| 427 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Joonghyuk, even referring to him as "master". |

| 441 | ---- |
| 442 | * TheBeastmaster: She has the ability to control animals. |
| 443 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: What allows her to not become the true calamity, was Dokja's kindness towards her and helping her and making her an ally. |
| 444 | * BigBrotherWorship: She starts treating Dokja like this, much to Gilyeong's jealousy. |
| 445 | * BlowYouAway: As [[spoiler: Kim Dokja's Incarnation]], she [[spoiler: awakens The Way of The Wind]] while trying to save Dokja during [[spoiler: the recreation of Literature/JourneyToTheWest]]. |
| 446 | * DeathSeeker: Subverted. She believes that she deserves to die because of what she had to do to survive, and quietly accepts the idea that Dokja would kill her. However, he doesn't intend to kill her and instead makes her an ally. |
| 447 | * DragonRider: She becomes this alongside Lee Gilyoung after [[spoiler: taming the Chimera Dragon]]. |
| 448 | * DragonTamer: Alongside Lee Gilyoung after [[spoiler: they manage to tame the Chimera Dragon trapped in Paradise.]] |
| 449 | * HeadbuttingHeroes: She and Lee Gilyoung almost immediately don't get along with each other when seeing how close they were to [[HeroWorship Dokja]]. While they can work together when needed, most of the time the two are clinging to Dokja and hissing at one another to leave Dokja alone. |
| 450 | * InsultOfEndearment: She ends up referring to Gilyoung as "bug". |
| 451 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: As a young child tossed into the apocalypse, she has come to belief that all she did to survive means she should die for her actions. From killing her pet puppy in the first scenario, killing the person looking after her in order to protect her green zone, and stealing from people who helped her while they were asleep. Unlike Gilyeong, she hasn't adjusted well mentally and doesn't hold it against Dokja if he wished to kill her. |
| 452 | * RazorFloss: Under Yoo Sangah's tutelage, she gains the ability to turn spider's threads into a deadly slicing wire. |
| 453 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Her attribute [Beast Tamer] allows her to have simple conversations with beasts using the ''Interspecies Communication'' skill just like Lee Gilyoung. |
| 454 | * VitriolicBestBuds: She and Lee Gilyoung will butt heads for Dokja's attention and affection quite often. The two however, do care for each other, as he's willing to protect her when she needs it and the two work well given their similar skills. |
| 455 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: She is the 5th Scenario's calamity, sent back to the past by Yoo Joonghyuk in his 41st regression, in order to give information to his past rounds so that he could reach the end of the scenarios quicker.

The Shin Yoosung of the 41st regression grew to resent Yoo Joonghyuk for using his companions as means to an end. When she realized that, even after she told him everything she knew, Yoo Joonghyuk still failed, she decides to destroy Seoul. |
