Ella Enchanted was ahead of its time while also being perfectly within its time i adore it and im so happy to be rewatching it

One thing I love about orv is that it initially bait and switches you by convincing you early on that the constellations are the "big bad" of the story - voyeuristic beings that gain enjoyment off the suffering of others - until the reveal that they are also going through their own scenarios. This mirrors how us as the readers are going through our own lives and our own struggles yet we consume media highlighting the experiences of others. We root for these characters, we follow their journeys, we see ourselves in them. And yet we're not villains - we're just surviving. We're escaping the struggles of our own lives by indulging in these worlds created by human imagination. Similarly, many of the constellations in orv do not have malicious intentions despite living off stories - uriel cares greatly for the incarnations she supports (as the "fangirl" archetype) and sun wukong and abfd also greatly support kimcom throughout their journey.

This is further solidified in the reveal of the oldest dream. Despite unintentionally creating worldlines through his imagination, the younger kim dokja was never a villain or "monster". He was simply a child who sook to escape the tragedies of his life through a webnovel. He depended on that novel to survive. And that was in no way the sin he thought it was - not even secretive plotter who had gone through countless regressions and witnessed the despair of the universe could hold it against him. Nor han sooyoung, nor yoo joonghyuk of the 1864th round, nor yoo sangah, nor anyone else in kimcom. No one thought dokja needed to atone for anything - they loved him and cared for him even when he couldn't love himself.

Just like kim dokja and just like the constellations, we are readers seeking an escape from the struggles of reality. And we too are loved - regardless of whether we know it or understand why.

Discrepancy #26

Interestingly, the excerpt from TWSA is different.

Yes. I know is probably a translation thing. But I treat translation differences as what was intended.

[ORV Novel, Chapter 5; ORV Webtoon, Episode 4]

You have to squint to see what the words in the Webtoon say, but the final paragraph is different. Here’s it typed out for your convenience:

Novel: He didn't feel any guilt. Everything was fleeting. He looked at the people with merciless eyes. After a while, his fingertips moved, and fire rose. Then it all started.

Webtoon: It will all be over in a moment. He skimmed through the people’s faces. Soon […] flame sparked from the […]

The novel’s version feels a bit more poetic with a writing style that I think matches Joonghyuk better. It’s important that they’re emphasizing his guiltless demeanor.

He feels no guilt. His eyes are merciless. This is important. Why? My favorite thing: first impressions.

Joonghyuk has been a mysterious figure this entire time. He still has yet to be named. He’s only been referred to as ‘He’ and there’s only been a silhouette of him in the Webtoon so far.

Joonghyuk’s lack of empathy is a big part of how the novel wants to portray him. It’s setting him up for the bridge scene.

At most, the Webtoon says he has no remorse. Which like. Okay. Let’s look at word choice.

[Merriam-Webster Dictionary website, definition of remorse and guilt]

Guilt is a much heavier word than remorse is. Sure, remorse is the feeling of guilt so the Webtoon is getting across the same message. But ‘guilt’ is heavier.

Guilt is an acknowledgment of a crime. Guilt has a heavier connotation and works much better. The novel is saying that he has no acknowledgment for the crimes he is committing—the lives he is taking.

Word choice is important and it’s why I treat most translation errors the way I do. It’s more fun to look at it like this rather than acknowledge that it’s two different translations.

thoughts are ao weird, sometimes they thought and sometimes they don't, I want my thoughts to actually thought sometimes

Fun fact, "Tell me you fool if I continue to regress will I ever get to meet you again?" isn't exactly mistranslated the way y'all think.

Yes, "Tell me you fool" doesnt exist in the korean text however Yoo Joonghyuk does use his signature "you fool" petname in this line, and however else it was tled, it would've flown poorly in english.

However theres one other word that doesn't exist in the korean and that is "again."

AND ALSO

The line is actually tied to Yoo Joonghyuk's previous line to Kim Dokja: "I heard that the scenarios exist not just for the Incarnations, but for the Constellations, as well. Maybe, it was the same for you."

So the final line could easily be just

"I heard that the scenarios exist not just for the Incarnations, but for the Constellations, as well. So, tell me you fool, if I continue to regress will I ever get to meet you?"

0th Yoo Joonghyuk is using regression as a means to remain in the scenarios because that's the only hope he has to meet 51% Kim Dokja at the end of his long and arduous journey.
