A group of people (and later full on Nebula in their own right) who decide to band together in order to survive the scenarios.- Action Survivor: Everyone eventually becomes this in spades.
- Canon Foreigner: 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. Some of them, as it turns out, are actually Canon Character All Along with the context of the 0th Scenario however.
- Crazy-Prepared: They try to be this, and for the most part thanks to Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk, and Han Sooyoung and their knowledge of the future, they are this when it counts.
- Fire-Forged Friends: All of them by the end of the story, regardless of whether or not they might bicker at times.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: At the end, the group has a total of four men and four women.

- Undying Loyalty: They all have this to one another, to the point of Regressing as a group just so Kim Dokja could truly be with them after the Final Scenario.
- Wild Card: 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, to the point where their nebula is one of the most antagonized in the Star Stream
Main Characters
Kim Dokja
I wasn't a Regressor or a Returnee, I was a reader, and this is how I fight
Click here to see Dokja in the Webtoon
- Attribute: "Reader""Demon King of Salvation""Watcher of Light and Darkness""Prisoner of Constrictive Headband"
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 a help from the author to survive.
- Affectionate Nickname: Gilyeong strictly refers to him as "hyung".
- Audience Surrogate: Played with. He does serve as one as he's Genre Savvy 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. Of course, as it later turns out, there is a VERY big reason for this.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: Later on he pilfers a suit from a dead body to wear since his clothes got incinerated by a dragon and he was brought back to life.
- Badass Longcoat: He later on gains a white one but loses it to the 1863rd Yoo Joonghyuk. Though he does receive a much nicer one from the Han Sooyoung of the 1863rd Regression to make up for it.
- Beneath the Mask: 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.
- Berserk Button:
- 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
- Someone bringing up the "rumors" about Dokja and his past.
- Big Brother Instinct: 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.
- But I Read a Book About It: He applies his knowledge of the novel into the people around him and it helps him survive each round.
- Brutal Honesty: 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.
- Cast from Money: 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.
- Combat Pragmatist: Once he starts getting a hang of the scenario, he uses everything and anything he can if it gives him an advantage.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: 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.
- Dark and Troubled Past: He was a loner most of his life who relied on The Ways of Survival not just as a means of escape but also as a means to keep living day to day. The reason? 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.
- Deal with the Devil: 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.
- Dissonant Serenity: 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. As it turns out, this calmness is actually one of the Fourth Wall's abilities, essentially allowing him to realize the events occuring around him are from a novel. When Dokja does end up facing things that might trip the Fourth Wall up, he becomes much more emotional.
- Embarrassing First Name: 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.
- Everyone Has Standards: 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fourth Wall: 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. 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.
- Genre Savvy:
- 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.
- He's also 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.
- This also means when he runs into the "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.
- Happily Adopted: 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, even referring to Persephone as "mother".
- Hidden Depths: 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.
- Horned Humanoid: When he becomes the Demon King of Salvation, he gains horns on his head as well as dark wings.
- Informed Loner: 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. Of course there is a reason as to why he is shunned by many people.
- Identity Impersonator: 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.
- I Have Many Names: Dokja gains many titles throughout his journey, such as "King of No Killing", "King of a Kingless World", and Demon King of Salvation.
- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Dokja basically gives this speech when 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.
- Laser Blade: His sword, "Unbroken Faith" that he managed to reforge.
- Like Father, Like Son: To his mother, whether he likes it or not. 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.
- Kissing Under the Influence: 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.
- Martyr Without a Cause: Has the bad habit of divising plans that only put himself at risk 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. It also gets lampshaded by the party itself who grow increasingly sick of his suicidal habits and refusal to rely on them.
- Meaningful Name: His name can have three meanings, "reader", "solo" and "main character's name", which fits into the story he's in.
- Momma's Boy: Averted. During his illusion, he was forced to remember a certain moment about his mother and he was immediately sickened by the memory. 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.
- Naked on Revival: After facing the dragon on the Night of the Prophets and attaining the title "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.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: He delivers these multiple times from Yoo Joonghyuk and even his high school bully who he meets in the new world. He gets an especially cathartic one, when beating up the dokkaebi Paul, who continued to mess with the fifth scenario and forced Shin Yoosung's future self to be killed.
- No-Sell: His personal ability, the Fourth Wall, grants him immunity to most mental and psychological effects, such as Telepathy or inducing trauma. Though over time, it doesn't fair quite as well to things relating to Dokja's own traumas.
- Not So Above It All:
- 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 Yoo Joonghyuk if he knows he'll suffer no repercussions for his actions.
- 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.
- Papa Wolf: Played hilariously, something he doesn't seem to notice. When he decides to help Shin Yoosung as 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.
- Parental Substitute: Both just as Kim Dokja, and also as a Constellation, he is this to Lee Gilyeong, Shin Yoosung, and Biyoo respectively. Technically speaking, 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.
- Patricide: Claims to Sangah that his mother was the one who killed his father. 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.
- Pet the Dog: Despite his and Bihyeong's somewhat rocky relationship, even Kim Dokja is annoyed at 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.
- Power Copying: 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.
- Psychic Block Defense: 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. 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.
- Ridiculously Average Guy: 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.
- Salaryman: This was Dokja's job alongside Yoo Sangah and Han Myungoh as members of Minosoft before the apocalypse turned everything upside down.
- Screw Destiny: 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 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.
- Seeing Through Another's Eyes: Level three of his Omniscient Reader skill. For Yoo Joonghyuk 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. 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.
- Stock Light-Novel Hero: Subverted. Dokja appears to be this at the beginning. He seems to be a Stoic Salaryman with Story-Breaker Power in a Badass Longcoat, but it soon becomes clear he 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 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 aquire small stories easier.
- Super-Speed Reading: He gains this ability early on which helps him quickly go through the novel and figure out what next step to take.
- Technical Pacifist: Thanks to the attribute 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.
- Telepathy: 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.
- 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.
- Vitriolic Best Buds:
- With Jeong Huiwon, the two trading playful barbs and Jeong Huiwon quick to call out Dokja's BS when she senses it.
- 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.
- Very much this with 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, 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.
- Weak, but Skilled: At the start of the story, he comes off like this especially against 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.
- Older Than They Look: 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.
- What Would X Do?: 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.
Yoo Joonghyuk
You fool, you are not reading it alone
Click here to see Joonghyuk in the Webtoon
- Attribute: "Regressor"
- Anti-Hero: The apocalyptic future has left him jaded and cold especially when he has to relive it right from the start whenever he dies.
- Badass Longcoat: He wears a black one.
- Berserk Button:
- Played with. Dokja sort of becomes one for him, granted the former knows what buttons to push. Later on they become more friendly.
- 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.
- Big Brother Instinct: 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.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Under the Cinema Master's control, where he comes off as an emotionless puppet who ends up fighting Dokja and the group.
- Chick Magnet: 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.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: 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.
- Dark Is Not Evil: 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.
- Death Glare: 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.
- 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.
- Empty Eyes: How he looks when he's under the Cinema Master's control and believes he's all alone.
- Even the Guys Want Him: 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 even blushing off to the side."If someone saw those features and not get immediately drawn in by them, then there must be something wrong with that person."
- Groundhog Peggy Sue: 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.
- 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.
- Insult of Endearment: Kim Dokja calls him a sunfish, due to how easily he gives up when put under enough pressure.
- I Work Alone: After all he went through in previous timelines, he's become used to working alone and not trusting others."To him, all humans are either his subordinates or his enemies."
- Living Lie Detector: 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.
- Lonely at the Top: 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.
- Meaningful Titles: Yoo Joonghyuk the Regressor.
- Older Than They Look: Despite physically being younger than Dokja, his existence as a Regressor in his third iteration means he's mentally much older than he seems.
- Perpetual Frowner: 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.
- Practically Different Generations: 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.
- Promotion to Parent: It's unknown what happened to his parents, but he looked after his little sister throughout his regressions.
- The Protagonist: He was this in the original canon of TWSA.
- Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: 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.
- Stock Light-Novel Hero: Junghyeok Yu is the literal protagonist of the original novel, and fits this trope to a T.
- The Stoic: He rarely shows much emotion, and he only seems to really lose his temper the most around Dokja.
- Strong Family Resemblance: He and his little sister look like the spitting image of one another in the webcomic, scowling face and all.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He fits all of these tropes and easily towers over most of the other characters."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."
- Trauma Conga Line: As 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.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: 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 ally and friend.
- Younger Than They Look: 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.
Han Sooyoung
Ultimately, every human is their own writer
Click here to see Sooyoung in the Webtoon
- Title: "Plagiarist""Director of the False Last Act"
- Badass Longcoat: Like Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk, she later on gains a long coat and looks damn badass in it.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She wears dark clothes in her first few appearances, but she's just more of an anti-hero.
- Did Not Think This Through: 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.
- Fighting a Shadow: 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.
- Genre Savvy: 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.
- Heel–Face Turn: Is introduced leading the prophets but after 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 Kim Dokja's Company. Even then, she's still one of the most ruthless of the companions.
- Humans Are Bastards: 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.
- Hypocritical Humor: After she 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".
- In the Hood: 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.
- Jerkass Has a Point: 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.
- Meaningful Titles: She plagiarized TWSA and renamed the story as "SSSSSS-Grade Infinite Regressor". However, they only knew the beginning part of the story, thus didn't truly know the outcome of the future. When they were participating in the scenario they were even called the "Fake King".
- Most Writers Are Writers: While plagiarized, she did write her own version of TWSA.
- Only Sane Man: After she and Dokja 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.
- Oral Fixation: Later on, she always has candy in her mouth.
- Plagiarism in Fiction: She plagiarized the story of TWSA for her own novel. 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.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She tries to get the hell out of dodge after 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.
- Self-Plagiarism: After 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.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: 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, 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.
- You Owe Me: The reason Dokja chases after her after the Coin Farm as he claims that since he helped her, she owes him.
Company
Yoo Sangah
I can kill all of them if I want. Therefore, I can save all of them if I want.
- Attribute: "Midnight Empress"
- Cunning Linguist: 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.
- Damsel in Distress: 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.
- Dark Is Not Evil: 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 timeskip.
- Declaration of Personal Independence: 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 stiffling family.
- Deus ex Machina: She gets saved by her sponsor through this during the groups second scenario.
- Exhausted Eye Bags: 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.
- Gold-Colored Superiority: 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.
- Good Is Not Soft: 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.
- Kissing Under the Influence: 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.
- Light Is Good: 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.
- Never Gets Drunk: 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.
- Nice Girl: 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.
- Oblivious to Love: She didn't realize Han Myungoh was in love with her. To be fair, 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.
- Power-Strain Blackout: When she uses her ability to the limit, she ends up blacking out and falling unconscious.
- Razor Floss: 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.
- Silk Hiding Steel: Slowly turns into this as she Took a Level in Badass but never losing her kind and caring personality. Turns out she was this well before the scenarios started, having used her impression as a softspoken and friendly girl to get away with putting pepper into her superiors' coffee to get back at them for abusing their interns.
- So Beautiful, It's a Curse: 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.
- Spanner in the Works: 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.
- Spoiled Sweet: Comes from a rich family but doesn't have a single mean bone in her.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: 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.

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.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: He doesn't speak much, but the fact that Joonghyuk sees great potential in the boy says a whole lot.

- Heroic BSoD: 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.

I might be a killer, but I don't want to be a monster

- Adaptational Modesty: 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.
- Ascended Extra: 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. 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.

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.

- Only Sane Man: 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.
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: 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.

- Adaptational Modesty: Said to be wearing a skirt as part of her uniform in the novel, but in the webtoon adaptation, she's switched to sweatpants or joggers after the first scenario.
- Berserk Button: 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.

- Blood Knight: She enjoys fights and is quick to draw her sword if she feels endangered or angry.
- Broken Tears: 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.
- Brutal Honesty: 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.
- Butt-Monkey: 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.
- Can't Hold His Liquor: Seeing as Jihye is still a teen, she passes out after managing to snag a bottle of soju when the adults weren't looking.
- Green Around the Gills: 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 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.
- Heroic Lineage: She's a descendant of Admiral Lee's comrade, Lee Edokgi, which comes into play during the "Battle of Myeongnyang" movie.

- In the Hood: Jihye Lee's first appearance in the webtoons when she meets the group has her jacket hood covering her face.

- Katanas Are Just Better: She wields a katana as her weapon and some people in the other group call her samurai, despite her being Korean.
- Kill the Ones You Love: 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.
- Lady Looks Like a Dude: In the webcomics, she ditches most of her school uniform for sweat pants and a hoodie.

- Romantic False Lead: She's noted to be this in the original canon by the other readers.
- Significant Wardrobe Shift: 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.

- Tomboyish Ponytail: She wears her hair like this, and definitely looks the part.
- Trauma Button: The "Battle of Myeongnyang" where she has to take command as the admiral initially leaves her paralyzed with guilt and tears because it was her former friend's favorite movie.

- Troubled Fetal Position: 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 can later be seen sitting on the floor with her knees to her chest as she seems deep in thought.

- Insult of Endearment: She ends up referring to Gilyoung as "bug".
- My God, What Have I Done?: 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.

The Shin Yoosung of the 41st regression grew to resent Yoo Joonghyuk for using his companions as means to an end.
