[ORV sidestory Ep.6 (4)]

A funny interaction between Bihyung & Lee Hakhyun

I love LHH villian mode (he's basically a babygirl)

Anyway, this is the gang's POV

Lee Hakhyun my boi Q-Q

major spoilers for orv novel and side story 5! (760s)

I’m not fully up to date on the side stories but I’m a major chunk of the way in (the Zodiac Ball arc). Im someone who always finds myself rooting for the side/mob characters that appear for 2 chapters and never again. And Lee Hakhyun, with all his compassion, his regrets, his failures, his concerns, his insecurities, feels so uniquely human and relatable in a way that not even Kim Dokja had felt. ORV I started because of the premise and story telling and I got attached to the characters along the way. Lee Hakhyun…I got attached a few chapters in Anyway, the crazy thing is that I’m kind of mourning Lee Hakhyun more and more as the story pass. He’s still alive!!! And I’m grieving for him!!! He’s changed over time and maybe it’s character development, or confidence, but it feels more like the loss of an identity. Especially because in the current arc I’m on and the ones before it, he takes on Kim Dokja’s identity again and again, over and over and over. And at first, it’s so apparent what the differences are!! It’s really amazing, and full props to the author for being able to distinguish and write their characters so well. It’s also because of this that I feel like Lee Hakhyun is becoming Kim Dokja, and if so, that’s so…sad. Not in a bad way or anything fully negative. Change is inevitable, change happens. It’s not always bad, but thinking of what was is always…sad. (Also all of this is fully intentionally on the author’s part I believe, LOL). If it an identity change, it’s one thats almost coerced onto him, and that makes it sadder. The company calls him Kim Dokja and want him to be Kim Dokja, his current group calls him Kim Dokja because of context, his stories are telling him to be Kim Dokja. In truth, in one of the earlier chapters, I was so relieved and happy when the cast shared their true names and our MC said ‘Lee Hakhyun.” He wanted a new identity, and he got it; he has lived a whole life full of successes and failures that are entirely his own. But in the end, it’s cyclical. He was a person (kdj), but just a part, such that people appreciate but are not satisfied. He is an author compelled to write someone else’s story, such that readers admire that story but not his writing. (An author who got popular off a work that you wrote but that isnt your own, how scary is that?? As a writer, that sounds terrifying) He is himself, trying to be whole, but is made to be someone who he didn’t/doesnt want to be (49%), and the more he is made to play that role, the more his boundaries get lost. Lee Hakhyun, the more the story goes on, the more I can’t tell what actions/thoughts are yours, perhaps made with more confidence, and what actions/thoughts are Kim Dokja, whether acting as him or slowly becoming him. I want the story to have a happy ending, but is that even possible, with my perceptions of it? What would it entail? Can he be two different people at the same time? He has people around him to remind him who he is as Lee Hakhyun, but the knowledge that they’re all fragments of Kim Dokja add a level of instability and mind fuckery that makes it less reassuring than it should be. How much has he changed from the 560s to the 760s? Is it character development, or character transition? What is the core of his identity, considering everything? Lee Hakhyun of the beginning is someone I’ll remember fondly for how human he is, and I’ll have to do some rereads to define him more concretely, but I’ll miss him, if he’s not there anymore In context of this post and the whole story, honestly rip our MC for constantly being in an identity limbo and rip me because I didn’t expect the side story to include so much existential crisis. Regardless, i really truly hope he’s happy and content and confident in/by the end

I thought I'd have enough of the sketch, but I couldn't stop. Head canon that Kiki loves the smell of LHH's hair

Orv side story spoilers!! Tw. Blood

"Don't worry! I won't die! This is just—"

"Do you think we're stupid?"

Killer King, who had shouted, grabbed my arm through the aftershock.

"You, what the hell did you do? Why is the scenario banishing you!"

It seemed that I couldn't fool the readers.

"Everyone, catch him! Don't let him go!"

It was the first time I saw Killer King so excited.

I looked at him and said.

"Cha Sungwoo-ssi."

Cha Sungwoo looked at me in surprise.

I realized that many things had happened since meeting him. However, we had talked a lot,

but not that much.

We don't know much about each other.

Where we used to live, what kind of food we like to eat, what games we like to play, what we

think about before going to bed after a hard day.

We don't know anything about each other.

The only thing we share is one thing. That we've read the same stories and admired the

same characters.

"Come to your senses. You're the Yoo Jonghyuk of those people."

Cha Sungwoo trembled as if he had been struck by lightning after hearing my words.

A person who has the patience to read a story a hundred times. A person with an

unwavering spirit that won't waver in the face of any ordeal.

The group needs such a pillar.

"Shut up! Kim Dokja, what do you know—"

I'm going to draw the moment with Killer King and Lee Hakhyun from chapter 790. And I hope I'll be satisfied with the result.

Orv side story spoilers!!!

*

Chapter 585, Episode 5.8 "Villain"

*

For a moment, Killer King's eyes darkened. He activated the "Eye of Sin."

I suddenly became curious.

"What do I look like to you?"

In his eyes, Cheon Inho was a murderer who had killed about fifteen people.

But I am Lee Hakhyun.

In that case, what does writer Lee Hakhyun look like in the eyes of others.

"What..."

The next moment, Killer King's eyes widened. His entire retina turned black, like overlapping letters.

*

Chapter 735, Episode 29.2 "Recorder of Fear"

*

The day he first met Cheon Inho.

That day, Killer King headed towards Jeon Inho.

A total of [Eye of Sin] was activated twice.

"I didn't see anything."

"Nothing?"

"Everything was pure white."

Although the skill quickly ended, Killer King clearly saw the scene. A distant and barren white snow field spread out around Jeon Inho.

I really liked this moment, so I decided to draw it. I love Killer King and Lee Hakhyun so much.
