KSE

[dreamaroff]

ik the novel is written primarily in KSE's POV so it makes sense that the traits for the character profiles are based on KSE's own perceptions, but this web event is rly making me feel like we're accessing KSE's own brain as a wiki (like how the Griptok works) rather than acting as an actual wiki esp with how they chose GYE's trait as a "former med student" 😭😭

it rly reminds me of that one kr thread on twt showing each time KSE described GYE as a (former) med student 😭😭

[dreamaroff]

i take this back bcs EHJ and PMS profiles confused me

maybe i can forgive EHJ's since hers does make sense a bit but why is PMS's trait only "brown hair" when there are many characters who also have brown hair what 😭

[carpediemisnicebuticannot]

SAME😭 I was expecting something like; "has a younger sister", something that has to do with HIS UNIQUE traits, NOT something non-specific.

Slightly a bummer.

oh my god where do i even begin

cover

the coordinates on the top left are for kkp's office !!

there's the floor plan for the new hire orientation

and stickers for The Tuesday Quiz Show and company mascots

"THERE'S NO WAY BACK" just casually there at the side

and maybe it's just me but the front page kinda looks more like an ID than a formal document? could just be the hole tho so eh

time table

the dates use different materials behind them, so is this also teasing incoming story events aside from teasing the character? or are they just random choices for texture

like 5/31 having a paper texture so maybe its a receipt? which could be referencing Make A Choice?

and 6/1 being old film most likely referencing Tuesday Quiz Show?

not that sure abt 6/2 cuz i see this as either a cutting mat or graphing paper?

unsure abt 6/3 bcs i'm thinking this might be a backdrop witth vfx markers (+)? idek i'm pretty sure there might be smth else with (+) i just can't recall that thing

6/4 is a notebook page

and minor thought in 6/6 that these are probably just super background NPCs since theyre not drawn in the same style as other characters on the train in the teaser chapter? their style is more similar to the faceless talking employees that were shown for one panel

and in lights off mode, KSE and Braun are selected on the manhwa and novel cover respectively !! very ominous !!

PLUS the manhwa cover is more zoomed out here and it reveals more of the mess in the background (though i still can't make out most of it).

there's some round thing (window? mirror?) at the right side that you wouldnt normally see in the enhanced cover image online

and there's a random cube/rectangular figure and a toppled bench/long table at the left.

altho ppl alr got this from the available cover online, whoever's holding the phone is rly interested in KSE considering theyre currently recording huh !

makes me wonder how much the cover is hinting for S1 (or maybe even beyond that), and to think they've likely been planning this for a long time... we're in for a good ride i'm so hyped

[dreamaroff]

i stand corrected wait

KSE - i still see this sorta like paper texture??? not sure

BSH - cassette tape film

GYE - someone on twt it might be bandage texture but i don't see it?? i can't think of anything else associated with GYE that has smth with grids tho

EHJ - ig you can say these are camera crosshairs? since she was a reporter? it still kinda looks more like green screen with trackers tho

PMS - notebook page still stands bcs of the kindergarten teacher contamination

[bethialyn]

Happy pride month to these h*omosexuals.

[dreamaroff]

someone on twt said that KSE would be the only one not smiling in their character profile even with PMS's character profile later so here's a meme

TODAY IS FOR GO YEONGEUN'S CHARACTER PROFILE YIPPEEE

and this also completed the rookie trio today !

GYE and BSH looking so bright as new recruits vs KSE who was alr working prior to getting dropped into this world help

tho i gotta wonder since these panels of GYE and BSH are obvs on the Abyss Train, i wonder how they'll use this panel of KSE when this is supposedly foreshadowing the events in the latter parts of the novel.

makes me wonder if LJH will be tomorrow? and what "head" will we see if ever? i can't wait asdjahksdhak

I swear if the manhwa isn't absolutely terrifying I'm going to go crazy

Horror stuff barely scares me anymore and I desperately need content. I need this to be spine-chillingly, pants-shartingly, will-leave-you-restless-before-sleep-at-night kinda levels of horror. Which I doubt will happen without complete AV immersion but a man can hope yeah? 🥲
