It's My Collection

If you want to follow the progress of this tournament, here is the spreadsheet for the Tumblr Squid Game special:

“I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves”

— where instead of Kim Dokja reading "Ways to Survive a Ruined World ", Gamer Yoo Joonghyuk is invested in a live-service action RPG called "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint! "

At first, there are a lot of players who check it out, but as time goes on, people have a hard time liking the protagonist "Kim Dokja" because of how unreliable of a narrator he is and how difficult it is to "self insert" themselves into his character, calling it cheap and boring. And because the updates are live-service, content is lacking and the playerbase drops significantly as time goes on.

Yoo Joonghyuk picks up the game at a young age — long before becoming a streamer. And unlike everyone else who disliked Kim Dokja's character, Yoo Joonghyuk became interested in understanding him. He didn't judge him for being unreadable because he, in his own way, was the same. There was also a character in the game who closely resembled him, too. Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't like that guy.

Whenever story updates for the game came out, Yoo Joonghyuk would stop his stream just to play it, even when he eventually gets to a point that he doesn't have to worry about spoilers because he ends up being it's only player. It felt like a game just for him.

So when he makes it to the end and Kim Dokja is scattered across the universe, Yoo Joonghyuk steps onto that train one fateful day with a heavy heart until...

"Kim Dokja, don't be a fool. Cross with me."

"Did I...ever tell you my name?"

'Yoo Joonghyuk feels a little different...'

"I saw your badge on the floor. Now hurry up before I throw you off this bridge."

For @tsukithewolf I ran out of time as you can see gjlsjdlkjs

:They are externalized memories/regression versions of Yoo Joonghyuk split off by the Plotter to preserve his experiences without losing them to the effects of becoming an Outer God-like existence.

"This is a story for sole one reader."

He lives freely in my head, so here are a few more cents for the fandom.
