Its open ending actually. Dokja will choose to left Jooghyuk and others, in order to maintain their world. Joonghyuk and others will try so hard to bring him back, but in the end we will not know if he's alive and back to Joonghyuk, or dead and never came back. The next is up to readers, be it we imagine him back or not~
(Sorry for my bad english)
Well the sad and the happy moments are perfectly balanced (and the gay jokes are top-notch lol).
ORV plot emphasized the relationship between author-reader-protagonist. If I remember correctly, there is one part that said "the reader decides the ending" Means that is up to you to believe which ending you want for them. Nevertheless, I think that in the last chapter they give many hints that Kim dokja is back (happy end). But this is just my personal opinion though ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
novel readers... can you spoil the ending for me? TT
