GSGW drawings I made in Roooobloooxxx ('Drawspace')
As usual, I'm spreading the word of GSGW like it's the gospel. I'm indoctrinating anyone who comes across my art into the amazing, beautiful and illustrious world that is GSGW.
ANYWAY GSGW MANHWA I'M SO EXCITED I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT MY GCSES ANYMOREE
Imaginw vro loses both his eyes 😔✌️wht a loser
Sometimes you have to sit and think about how the coalition views Lee Jaheon's feelings for Kim Soleum.
you think soleum used viper as a blueprint for his ‘psychotic’ act for saheon. it seemed so specific
The truth about K. LEE (ch 192)
shipping the popular yaoi pairing but shaking my head while i do to indicate that i also care about the work's themes and other characters
FINALLY I GET TO SHARE THIS PICTURE
Niche take:
Braun is everything that Vincent Whittman/Vox wants to be
Braun is successful, sophisticated, charismatic, respected and powerful. He has a team of individuals who do whatever he says when he says it and will never disobey or leave. He has a show that breaks record after record to the point where nearly everyone knows his name and tunes into his show.
And on top of that, he has a pretty deer man who is soul bonded to him and who is his best friend in the entire world---a friend who is easily persuaded by his charm and who he intimidates without needing to try all that hard.
So beautifully put. I'm keeping this entire reblog (& tags).
I can’t get this thought out of my mind ever since reaching chap 371 (putting it under the bar to be spoil safe. Also don’t read the tags they contain spoils too.)
About Sekwang city, kse returning ’home’ and even kse ’saving’ choi from his wiki death... this feels wrong. More exactly, I think that apart from the moment he edited / erased the wiki as 130666, KSE has not a single time changed the wiki events by his presence.
Why? Because Sekwang city happened. Because Sekwang city was registered in the wiki, meaning KSE’s arrival into the ghost world was registered into the wiki. Maybe the [good friend] was not, but his arrival was, at least. And if he is part of the wiki... then do we have proof he changed anything from the wiki event?
KSE did say that several recorded events haven’t happened yet. The only ghost story he wrote that he went in was the highschool, and even then he said he went in before the record ever happen even though that was the first story he ever wrote for the wiki, meaning he landed very early in the wiki lore. So we can assume that Choi’s death on the Looky Mart fourth floor might simply not have happened yet, bcs it’s ’early’. (I think kse also forgot himself which stories he wrote, bcs after the highschool, he never mention that he wrote stories for the wiki again). Plus it is said in the record that Choi went to the fourth floor in a very ’out of character’ move. So, what was he searching for there? (Sas it related to a certain Agent Grapes?)
There is also the obvious thing that bug me that a world without ghost story by definition cannot open a door to another world. And also. KSE’s main body is still in the councelor room. Only his [good friend] version received the wish- so is he here as only half of himself? With what body, since even when shapeshifting as a human he is still made of the dragon yellow corpse (which also cannot exist in a world without ghost stories)? Ig i’ll wait part 3 for the answers on all that xd.
ok heres the essay. actually its not really an essay i just have a couple free floating ideas on the topic.
so first of all lets get the obvious out of the way, which is that this mostly comes from me thinking that KSE secretly having crazy game in his private life, being unexpectedly sexually experienced, and being mostly committed to hiding this from his coworkers at both daydream and the dmb for reasons he probably wouldnt want to examine too closely, is cool and hot. i just think that rocks. like hes got 99 identity issues but being very sexually active is not one of them. hes confident about his pull and doesnt particularly associate the sex itself with any shame. its the stuff surrounding the sex that gets weird
with that in mind, there are a couple things in the text that i think make this a supportable, not too left-field interpretation/headcanon/fun imagining or whatever. as i said earlier, its a solution to his contradictory attitudes vis a vis human connection, wherein he simultaneously craves and is terrified of being known, and of intimacy generally by extension. if we imagine for a second that hes just the type of person who is able, at will, to compartmentalise sexual intimacy and emotional intimacy into two neat boxes with little overlap, then having one night stands solves his need for comfort through physical proximity while letting him keep his preferred distance from his need for emotional connection, something he would rather eat glass than look in the eye
secondly, i can imagine he would frequently stay the night after the sex as a direct 1:1 replacement for the cartoons or other sleep aids. weird and tasty. fun to imagine him not even being particularly horny some nights but knowing he has this and that important thing coming up hmmm time to hit the bar i guess. that usually works ← guy who thinks getting laid isnt especially unusual or impressive tee hee
another reason all of this is fun is because at both his daydream and dmb workplaces, he has personas that, while very different from each other, both dont especially lend themselves to this casual hookup guy image. at daydream hes (apparently) aloof, confident, and focused on his work, which he is very good at → this image tends to discourage much thinking about his private life in general, and whatever people DO think about his private life tends to either end up being a) lives quietly by himself or b) some long term partner he prefers not to discuss at work. on the other hand, his dmb persona is that of a nervous wet cat → still very competent, undeniably, but in a way that suggests he channels everything into his work and as such his private life is neglected and he must be inexperienced in most things to do with relationships. lol no! your cool, intimidating supervisor/the rookie you want to hand feed soup fucks like a machine! lets all realise we shouldnt think about that for too long for....reasons.....together!
imagine BSH like ugh hes gone again tonight....probably doing weird shady shit and murdering street cats.... well thats definitely one way to describe what hes doing lol. if only you knew
ok thats all i got for now. this kind of did turn into an essay oopie....
OKAY SO I'VE READ THIS SUPER DUPER INTERESTING ESSAY AND PERSPECTIVE AND I THINK IT'S VERY COOL AND YOU GUYS SHOULD READ IT TOO
I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT BUT IT'LL LEAVE IT FOR NEW TIME WHEN I HAVE A BETTER HOLD OF MY THOUGHTS + ADVANCE MORE IN THE FIC...
I'll probably come back to this ask too...
But this was literally SO good I had to share it with you guys... Everyone pls applaud anon...
And if everyone else have thoughts like that to share... I'm literally all ear....
hey! this is not really organized note, as i first created this note in 2025 at the start/middle of part 2 of gsgw and i recently finished reading the end of part 2 so i added some new things. Well i decided to just post it here, for fun!
Note:
so he is a part of cheerful research institute darkness? is he? was the cheerful research institute helping him by lending him an items that he would find useful ?
Uh no… he is not a product of cheerful research institute. He is an entity from another place, and i would say very strong and intelligent one.
“I know you're someone very special. Special enough that the last remaining researchers of the Cheerful Research Institute risked everything to summon you and smuggle you out, and..." Director Ho words "Special enough that, despite never running any intelligence operations, you could tell me information about Sekwang Special Metropolitan City as if you already knew it when I asked."
(rereading this note after finishing part 2: hm what now seems weird to me is that kim soleum knew everything about the disaster that happened in Sekwang Special Metropolitan City. He was able to immediately connect it to one of the Darkness Exploration Records he had read, yet as we approach closer to the Sekwang Special Metropolitan City arc the less he seems to remember about this darkness.
Is this because of his mental state and him turning into 130666 and back? Hm and essentially all of the Records he can see is because he remembers them and the phone simply was structuring the information and storing it for him.)
Is he an omnipotent entity? Thats why he was summoned?
“That l'd come from a world without ghost stories, where this world existed only as the < Dark Exploration Records> wiki.”
Um are we sure that ur original world is the one without ghost stories? because i am not…
Even if he'd seen the experiment logs I had read while rummaging through this underground Cheerful Research Institute, he didn't have the full picture.”
Ok. Is he a librarian of the world? I mean is he an entity that keeps logs about everything happening in the world? Thats why he is so omnipotent?
“That ability, like editing a wiki page... No, why did it feel so natural to use it? How on earth?”
Why did using this ability feel natural? When Kim Soleum said that he mainly only read wiki pages and rarely created them. But it is also ability not about creation but editing? Editing the world basically.
kim soleum is ireum nim? it could be true — a powerful omnipotent entity that knows “truth” of the world and seems to control everything. lmao it could be that it is kim soleum and he is bounded by human consciousness so he is unable to be able to fully grasp his nature…
so he was called a dragon right now (from rereading: i am not sure at what point of part 2 he was called a dragon and i am so mad at myself that i didn’t include the citation from the story. BUT after knowing the end of part 2 it is clear why he was called the dragon, yet i am unsure if it only means him as a mascot or actually a dragon)
and ireum means name… well
“Ireum-nim knows every thread of story and life. Only He is the answer to this world's truth, and only His will holds meaning in this world. May He see us. May He watch our
•, let us understand fully and follow His will, and let our stories become meaningful to Him. Then perhaps, within that light, there may be pity for us, perhaps He will hold affection for us. And so, at last, perhaps what we awaited will arrive. Rest, happiness, the chance that even after the end we might survive and be granted...”

“Oh! KS is indeed 'Ireum-nim'! The salvation is his safety from the coming apocalypse. He knows every life and story due to his reading ability.
When someone becomes important.important to reach the wiki records, Ireum him (KS) will see them. Perhaps even get attached to them, Ano so he will save them. Just like he saved agent Choi. The goal of becoming 'meaningful' in the world, that is reaching the wiki records to receive salvation....”
I agree with that. Thats what i was thinking too about.
Man your cult is kinda weird Soleum...
wait. ireum. soleum. are those names similar in korean?
soleum means creepy, creeps, goose skin
소름 soleum or soreum
이름 ireum
2026:
hi i am back again and let me say that again kim soleum IS ireum nim i am 99.5% convinced
just look at that : “I forced that mouth shut again. This filthy, outdated, disgusting beast—was eating me! How dare such third-rate trash stand against ■■? Yet that overwhelming sensation of violence and hunger…
'Shut up!'”
incredible, that seems like his true self that he is unaware of or buried or can’t comprehend finally was able to slip into the reality a little bit? No but actually this way of thinking is so drastically different from our usual kim soleum.
and those two missing parts could fit perfectly to be ireum nim
and a little later when he does not what director cheong expected :
■■! Stop■■■!
the first two are probably ireum nim, the last three i am not so sure
“In my dulled mind, something that had only lingered as a faint imitation in an empty space suddenly surfaced clearly….
Rage.
A seething, boiling emotion.
[Oh, my friend….] “
i am not so sure why this caught my attention, but it did for some reason hm..
“Lord Name Invitation Research] I froze. Research Purpose: Confirmation of the targeted advent of a hostile being into the present world and the progression of a contract. The subtitle for this research was taken from the name of a god worshipped by a certain cult group that has recently become popular, derived from preceding research. This will be the final research of the Cheerful Research Institute.”
Lord name? Ireum nim? Interesting isn’t it?
But my hand was unconsciously dialing the censored number on my smartphone. The unreadable, censored number was displayed on the screen, and I pressed the call button.
And he is also able to see through the censorship, even though subconsciously :)
I finally found time to draw using gsgw.
хтонь! Kim Soleum — 💖
I adore him.
gsgw spoilers, end of part 2
So, I'm honestly starting to think part 3 is gonna revolve heavily around the church of luminous uknown. It has to... The story keeps escalating from simple ghost stories to organizations manipulating information/reality itself, and that cult feels connected to all of that.
To me the church of the luminous unknown seems to be connected to the government, daydream inc./cheerful research institute and much more.
Also... I definitely think our Soleum will eventually become part of the DER records himself.
At first the DER felt like something fixed, but now he's already changed multiple exploration outcomes and saved people who were originally supposed to die or dissapear, like Agent Choi for example.
That makes me wonder if the DER is rewriting itself, recording multiple timelines/parallels, or Soleum was always inside the records from the start and we just haven't reached those entries yet.
On another note, we still don't know the origins of daydream. Why is the company even called daydream? Who are the higher ups, the superiors of the Directors, what’s going on with the branches? And why isn‘t the government intervening in daydream inc‘s business?
Is it because both are connected to the church of the luminous unknown?
Corruption at it's highest order...
Honestly, Soleum becoming part of the DER honestly feels inevitable now... He will find a way back in or something will drag him inside the world of the DER. My theory is that the phone number he got during his first day in Daydream will be a gateway to him returning to the DER. Or another possibility... will the two worlds merge together?
Will never get over them 😞
Contaminated Soleum 😭
