ok but the orv epilogue grabbing you by the face and going "HEY YOU. YEAH YOU. READING THIS. YOU READING THIS STORY IS CANON TO THIS UNIVERSE. BY READING THIS STORY YOU ARE SAVING THE MAIN CHARACTER. BY LOVING THE MAIN CHARACTER YOU ARE LOVING YOURSELF. BY SAVING HIM YOU ARE SAVING YOURSELF."

Truly the fifth wall break of all time. I'm not sure anything can top that experience. We've peaked as a species.

Digital fanart for Omniscient reader's viewpoint. It's a series of black and white illustrations making out a single monologue through their accompanying text.
"I suppose, in a sense".
Kim Dokja looking at something under his feet. His face is hidden under a heavy shadow with only a single eye and a crack running across his face visible. Behind his head there's a disc of a halo crumbling away on a background of pitch black sky.

"I'm also a writer"
A shot of Kim Dokja from the back. He is standing on a path made out of screens-tiles, each depicting a scene. Closest to him are a scene of his companions calling out to him and a scene of unconcious Yoo Joonghyuk sleeping somewhere. Further aways, disappearing in the dark, are two female silhouettes, possibly Lee Sookyung and Han Sooyoung back on Earth.

"Worse than a proper one"
Two bright white parallel lines - two bridges extend into the dark, never getting close. Kim Dokja stands close to the lower edge of the art, watching someone standing on the other path far away, also wearing a white coat.

"With my hands accustomed to turning pages"
The text sits in the screen of Kim Dokja's phone held by his crumbling hands.

"Not filling them"
That text, in contrast, is printed on a stack of pages held by different hands, with painted black nails and different type of scars.

"My heart as well"
A close up of Kim Dokja's face, looking down. There is no heavy shadow over his face, yet his mouth are not drawn. Despite that, his eyes look dull, sad.

"Accustomed to seeing"
A reflection of younger Kim Dokja in an old pc screen. He looks down, just as sad and disheartened as his older self. There are pages visible on the screen.

"But not participating"
A shot from inside the train carrier. Hands claw at the closed doors, leaving bloody traces on the glass. It's Kim Dokja's crumbling hands. Behind the glass there is a night sky.

"Maybe that is why"
Kim Dokja is sitting on a train seat with his legs, looking to the right. He is wearing his stark wjite coat, and looks empty. He is surrounded by an empty void, all alone in the space he is in.

"Their expressions are hard to pin down"
A mirror image of the previous one, but this Kim Dokja is looking at his companions, who surround him. They all sit on grass, with a darkening sky above them. Still, all the faces of Kim Dokja's companions are hidden as if drawn over with a pen.

"If i never experience that strong of a feeling"
Kim Dokja at the end of the 1863 arc, from the back, hunched down with his black wings framing his back. His horns are crumbling, and so does the black star of a constellation above his head.

"How can i put it on a page?"
A mirror image of Kim Dokja from the first page - but now it's Han Sooyoung looking down on Kim Dokja with her face hidden under a heavy shadow, her expression impossible to pin down. She is wearing a bright white coat.

"A story written by someone that inadequate"
A page almost fully black. In the upper left corner, there is barely visible figure of young Han Sooyoung in front of a computer screen, typing. On her chair there's barely visible hand of the Dokkaebi king. Only whatever is bathed in the light of the screen is visible.

"Surely it's not a read you would approve of"
A similarly almost completely black page. In contrats with the text, a happy Kim Dokja, visible in the light of his phone, sits in a hospital bed. An IV drip is visible next to him, with the bags going from seemingly normal one to Story fluid the higher they sit.
Full text says:
"I suppose, in a sense... I'm also a writer, worse than a proper one, with my hands accustomed to turning pages, not filling them. My heart, as well, accustomed to seeing, but not participating. Maybe that is why their expressions are hard to pin down. If i never experience that strong of a feeling, how can i put it on a page? A story written by someone that inadequate... Surely it's not a read you would approve of."

Full body Illustration of my interpretation of Usopp from one piece. The foreground has post time skip Usopp laying on his back with his arms behind his head. One of his legs is bent at the knee while the other is outstretched to create a more interesting silhouette. The background has four different redraws of screen caps from the anime. From left to right there’s pre time skip Usopp drinking a blue beverage, post time skip Usopp looking back with a thumbs up, post time skip Usopp cheering with a sunset behind him, and pre time skip Usopp doing a cute pose holding his cheeks. Overall the illustration has a yellow and orange color palette

USOPPS DAY AT LAST🥹💛💛💛 happy birthday to the most amazing sniper there is

Close up of the redraws!

Close up of pre time skip Usopp drinking a turquoise beverage with a little orange on the rim.

Close up of post time skip Usopp celebrating in front of a sunset. He had a large smile and is wearing a green shirt with his classic post time slip outfit.

Close of of pre time skip Usopp where he is holding either side of his face in a cute pose, his eyes are all sparkly.

Close up of post time skip Usopp looking back with a smile as he makes a thumbs up symbol.
