"I’ll finish your story."

Kim Dokja is the main protagonist of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. The novel focuses on his journey when the premise of his favorite webnovel, Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World—an apocalyptic webnovel written by tls123—becomes reality.
Appearance
Kim Dokja has a thin face and pale skin. His hair is thin and black; he has long eyelashes and dark circles. His countenance is calm and fresh, although somewhat edgy. There is a marked difference in his appearance when he smiles and when he's expressionless. He has a slender physique, being rather skinny prior to the beginning of the scenarios, although he has become rather muscular due to raising his Strength stat. He has burn scarring/tanning due to the probability storm he weathered after Gigantomachia. He also has scars on his hands and presumably the rest of his body as well from the numerous fights he has been through.He is often described as looking plain or unappealing by other characters, so much so that he gains the Incarnation modifier "Ugliest King". He has a distinctive smile, sometimes described as "unlucky" by his party members and unique enough in nature that people recognize him by it. From Main Scenario 10 onward, he possesses the Demon King Transformation ability. During all transformations, he gains a pair of black feathered wings and a pair of small horns. Traces of demonic energy mark his skin. His clothes also darken in color.
Personality
Kim Dokja is, at his core, a dedicated and loving man. He devotes himself to those he cares for, going so far as to sacrifice his own life for them; as a result of this devotion, he is careful with whom he grants his deep trust to. He frequently tries to shield his loved ones from danger by taking their struggles onto himself and often becomes extremely self-deprecating when he is unable to push through said struggles alone.His self-deprecation is a recurring pattern of behaviour. For all that he loves others, he is extremely harsh on himself, being insecure and having very low self-esteem and self-worth. This is likely due to the extended period of time he spent without any role models giving him positive feedback and caring for him. Perhaps as a result of the same, he used to perceive himself as perpetually alone and struggled with recognizing when people genuinely care for and look up to him, although he has become better at this since the beginning of ORV. Where he used to repress his emotions (as observed by Jung Heewon in early scenarios), he has also become more emotionally expressive (even crying in front of Han Sooyoung, who often teases him for lesser "slights"). He is usually quite casual when he speaks to others, but when he's shocked or nervous, he has a tendency to speak formally.
He is somewhat self-conscious about his image and how he's perceived, though less so when he's going by a pseudonym. In early scenarios, he pretended to be ruthless and cold-blooded. As time passes, he tends towards an image of someone who is polite and put-together, and who always has a plan. In fact, he does tend to plan ahead for most situations based on his knowledge of Ways of Survival. However, he often develops tunnel vision, failing to consider outside factors playing into and altering his situation. He is notably bad at improvisation (a fact that becomes more apparent as his timeline diverges more and more from the original Ways of Survival) and takes some time to get back on his feet when faced with setbacks, having minor emotional breakdowns at particularly shocking situations.
Nonetheless, he is immensely dedicated to his goals, seen when he surpasses even death in order to reach the end of the scenarios. This translates into occasional bouts of stubbornness and singlemindedness.
