Hope this is a lesson to not steal other groups scans to retranslate ;-; You even left their site link in....not the brightest idea. Because you stole QVFamma’s groups scans, after they’ve explicitly mentioned in the past repeatedly that they would stop translating if people kept doing it, they’ve closed their entire site and this series and all their other series can’t be accessed anymore.
You mean well, but it’s a general unspoken rule that if there’s already a consistent translator for a series, it’s disrespectful to come in and snipe their series. Sure some people will say it’s illegal scanlations so anything goes, and sure you can go ahead and ignore all this and do what you want, free country, but if there’s a consistent translator, it’s rude to come in and take over without permission. Because they’ve spent time already working on the next chapter, but when someone just comes in and takes over, then that time becomes a waste. Then that’s typically why you have translators drop the series, and then the new translator that tried to take over stops as well, and then the series gets abandoned lol
“Hello,
I'm the author of this manga. I'm happy to know some of the readers here like to read my work, it's a great hapiness. However, I'm asking for all of you who truly likes this work, will you please read and support me in Lezhin? For Lezhin's author, there're certain number of coin burn I have to achieve, and while it was good in the beginning, it wasn't anymore when The Dragon's King is up on mangago. If this keeps up, I'm afraid the story will be take down. I'm working on eps 21 right now, and there're still a lot of more to come. Some of you who worry about the angst genre, the next eps will be much brighter and much more interesting in conflict. If you guys want to read it until the end, will you please support me?
I stopped working on my job when I started this comic, since as a webcomic artist it's not possible to work both of them in the same time. I planned to do the best with this title, when the story ends, I probably won't be able to draw full time anymore due to certain condition with the family. So...please walk by me and help me thread on the path to end the The Dragon's King well.

Can someone help explain why he just let all those people die on the subway, even the old lady, when he could have let them kill the eggs? Like I get why he wanted silver haired guy to die, but he just ruthlessly let everyone else go crazy and die for no reason? Was it just to make him seem ruthless and cold for no reason
At the time, I doubt he had the time to worry about everyone on the train, and the kid was the only one there and he was also the owner of the bugs so I guess it nagged his conscience to let the kid die as well.
I don't think he's a paragon or anything just some dude trying to live through the entire ordeal.
He cares, or course, just not enough to actually do anything about it unless he sees no other way. The others were main characters, or people he already knew. Seeing them die would leave a bad taste in his mouth.
Thanks for replying! I’ve been trying to understand it bc not sure if we are supposed to find the MC likeable so far. I wonder if the novel explains more about his thinking? I also thought, maybe he killed all those eggs to receive all the coins he got right after so he could use them to level up his skills? If that’s the reason, I would understand it better.
I get that he’s trying to survive, and I’m not looking or wanting him to be a hero. I appreciate characters who are practical and calculating. It was just a very stark contrast and decision for him to let everyone die like that, and was wondering if the MC is meant to be portrayed as cold hearted like that for the rest of the story
Remember how other people joined to kill the old lady? He was quite pissed back then. As for the skill part, he can't see his own status, remember? So he only upgrade his strength and other status to beat the silver hair kid.
And since he has read the novel for 10 years, he knows and have imagined so many thing. So he has his plan. And if you read the novel you can know more clear detail of how his skills work. Like how he has the skill to read really fast, my theory is that the reading skill improves his thinking, so he thinks fast too.
Everyone read something and imagined yourself in the protagonist situation, right? He's the same. He's a reader like us.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Trust me, Kim Dokja has so much to give you, much more than Jinwoo from solo leveling. don't get me wrong, I love SL, just that ORV is my number 1. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!

The romance development is better than SL, although the romance here won't be about Kim Dokja. But that's what I love about it. The other characters have their own stories too.
Although there are a hundred eggs, they are still contained in the mother grasshopper and not to mention their small size. If he should hand out those eggs, he would still have to spend time digging it out, but he also had that crazy chuunibyou student guy to handle as well. (Also, this was probably to get rid of all the extras (-_-|||)
Not going to lie, his character can seem sorta shaky, but I think if you read the novel it makes more sense? I personally don't get it, but the fanon representation of him is more amusing to me than the canon one, so maybe it's my own misunderstanding.
I assure you, however, that he isn't supposed to be a 'cold, mysterious' character, more of a 'confusing, weird, dumbass' character who's not good at telling people things.
He didn't save all of them because it's not supposed to be his job and two more people surviving means more people dying in the second scenario. He saved Gilyoung because the bug belonged to him. Yoo Sangah was saved because she was a colleague and letting her die would stab his conscience and Hyunsung was saved because he is an important character.
Kim Namwoo was killed off because in all the chapters he read, he was a psychopath who killed a lot of people.
now spoiler
Dokja meets Namwoo way into the future when when he visits the underworld and there namwoo has changed which makes himwonder if he should have killed him off but he should have be ause he changed because he got time to cool himself after death.
Another spoiler
He also travels into one of like the 1000th world in which junghyuk regressed into and ther Han sooyoung (another main character) was the leader instead of Dokja and junghyuk perceived as the villain. In there Namwoo is soo cute. A lovestruck boy.
Dokja gets character development to the point that I wish he’d think of his own happiness. He’s not a saint by any means. He thinks about the subway situation often even several chapters after but I agree with his decision even if it’s morally grey. There is no fucking way he’s gonna lug all those people like some kind of Good Samaritan leader, and he knows how tough it’s going to get after. That’s a lot of responsibility. Getting attached to them is going to hurt a lot. I’m guessing you want a protagonist like the girl, Sanga? She was willing to step in to protect a stranger. Dokja feels more relatable tbh.
I’ve seen people dropping this story because they thought he’d be a callous bastard but boy, they’re so wrong. If you’re wondering why he’s so calm and calculating, he’s actually got a wall that protect him from breaking down and emotional/physical pain. It’s a power called the fourth wall which saved his ass multiple times. It explains a lot too. The more you read, the more you see how much there’s more to this than you think. Sadly, this story isn’t for everyone. No one has the time to truly sit down and read the whole thing, but if you’re like Dokja. Bear with it through the end and you’ll be rewarded.
I do highly recommend the novel, it’s mostly written in Dokja’s point of view so you get to see his thoughts about things. This guy, I swear. He’s one of the best protagonists I’ve ever read in a genre like this. He’s a rat but god, I’d protect him with my fucking life. His teammates feel the same way lmao.
This motherfucker,,,,, and all his selfishly selfless decisions and even until the end he chooses tO HDHJSSHSSNS I’m sorry I just remembered all those fingers he sacrificed for someone’s happiness and so many fucking years oh lord imcdhsdcshj his absolutely soft and pure wish during the beach episode I’m cryin......
Thanks. Yeah, probably reading the novel will give a better understanding of his character. I probably will do that. Inconsistent characterization really takes me out, but I understand mangas can’t go into full detail. I enjoy morally grey characters, but it has to make some sense and not just out of nowhere, if you get what I mean the person below you who replied helped me understand that at least he’ll revisit this, so that helps!
