* SymbolicCastFadeout: The series does this in several different ways with the classmates of the protagonist Chaerin/Huisu. The cast list with the name of the characters in Chaerin/Huisu's class appears at the end of each chapter. When any of the classmates start to trust her, the characters are no longer shadows in the cast list and have their full faces revealed. When they die, their picture becomes gray and has a red X mark on them. When they start to gain sentience, the character's picture is removed from the cast list with a tear mark. The only characters not listed on the cast list are Minwoo and Jeha (both of whom are the male leads of the original novel) [[spoiler:and the BigBad, the original Chaerin. When Se-Eun is revealed to be the GreaterScopeVillain the Devil her picture is replaced with a red handprint on a black background]].

Metafiction: The webcomic explores the free will of the characters within an established story and how that changes when the circumstances that surround them change. With the reveal that the protagonist "Chaerin" is actually the author of the original romance novel "I’ll Love You Every Day" and the villain of the webcomic is the original protagonist gaining sentience, the webcomic also interrogates the relationship between the author, the author's intentions and the characters in the story.
