My Life as an Internet Novel - Vol. 2 Ch. 62

[l_____l]

literally how do you say to your friend "you came from a novel you aren't real and when I do think you're real you'll disappear" is it really something they need to know it's not something they can change or help with, theres still so many questions with no answers why was dan I transported to this world, what is the real world and if so what is her existence or role in this world

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE

Ughhhh can we move on and get rid of Ruda and the friggin misunderstandings already? This is getting really draggy I’m getting so annoyed and about to drop this entire series. 😒

 

[PouyPouy]

I feel like we're back at square one. She's not really getting any closer to telling them the truth, and I feel like she'll just keep pushing them away.

@
PouyPouy I get you, but is still really hard to tell them that they actually don't exist. Especially in a setting where it proved that they don't exist.

 

[ASmileToProtect]

I get why she cant muster the resolve to say, "You don't exist."

But, in another way what is currently happening now is reality. This couldve been a nice rising action arc, but back to the plateau

@LullabiesLullabyes Thanks for the heads-up. If they're not going to listen, then, well, the Report button's there for a reason, so I guess I'll go that route, though it looks like someone already beat me to it.

Seriously, though, it's fucking disgusting that they're not the only ones bagging on a fucking kid for being insecure. 🙄

Didn't say it before, but thank you to @Fleta and team for the bulk update. 🙏

 

[TueThu]

Thanks so much for the update >w<

 

[dicedgelato]

Actually love how he phrased it, letting her know they are there for her (again) but understands if its something she can’t/doesn’t want to say

 

[Junnssu]

aw 😭
I really liked Ruda (I mean I still like him as a character now as well bc character dynamics), but he's a sinnamon bun and not the cinnamon bun that I originally thought he was 🥺

 

[empressnyannyanau]

I get it that they're supposed to be "characters" in a novel, but I just can't with Dan-I making up/assuming things. The fact that even now she still can't understand why her friends would be so kind to her upsets me, it's probably her insecurity but goddamn, at least trust them a bit.

 

[l3monsoda]

@cybergypsy It's such a shame too, so much potential for some light hearted fun with the whole mistaken gender thing, Ru-da could have been a lot of fun but instead we get this already stale "monster" character. I think I'd care less if it wasn't such a missed opportunity I just hope the story doesn't waste too much time on this new direction otherwise I'm going to be more than a little disappointed.🙁

 

[Sumatose]

I'm confused at blue hair's monolouge section. yeorong is different from all of them?? dan-i? T_T I'm lost

 

[Someone2Love]

@Sumatose The four boys and yeoryeong are different from Dani's parents, who aren't characters in the novel.

 

[4sarah1212]

Thank you so much for the triple update!!!!
I can't wait for more <3
Lol, I still can't get over that misunderstanding that Dan-I had XD
I wonder if she'll start thinking that there might be some BL in this novel once she realizes that Ru-Da is a boy hahaha

 

[Sumatose]

@Someone2Love OH the wording caught me off guard. thanks!

 

[luca17]

Lol at the misunderstanding. Thank you!

 

[bdawn]

blue hair guy got da 2nd lead vibes :<<<

 

[Dhaturas]

Due to his late introduction into the story, I'm more inclined to call the blond the second male lead.

For all the people hating on Dan-I, I would like to redirect you to chapter 30, where Chunyoung states that if he were dying, he wouldn't tell his lover and would just break up with and leave her. Why? So that she wouldn't feel as much pain. If you didn't hate on Chunyoung then, you're a hyprocrite if you hate on Dan-I now. This is the EXACT same thing, but 100x worse. If one day Dan-I permanently returns to her world, the others will forget about her. Rather than telling them about this and having their time be stained by stress and worry and suffering, she prefers to keep t o keep this misery to herself and enjoy her moments with them. This is besides the fact that telling them they are fictional characters would likely shatter their minds and give them a huge existential crisis. Perhaps you would be different from Dan-I in that situation, but can you not understand how she thinks at all? This isn't "misunderstandings created from lack of communication," it's "weighing the pros and cons of telling them and since in Dan-I's opinion the cons far outweight the pros, she decides to not tell them."

As for Dan-I thinking Ru-Da is a female, has Ru-da ever acted differently in front of her??? Would you guys know Ru-Da's gender for a fact IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE SPOILERS?????? Ru-Da being good at fighting? There are girls good at that, too. Ru-da going into the mens' bathroom? In Dan-I's viewpoint, Ru-Da has to keep up pretenses. Ru-da has a flat chest??? Maybe she has a flat chest or is binding her chest. There are so many tropes in this manhwa that parody web novels tropes (just look at the reasoning of why the fighting ranks had to hurry and leave a few chapters back) . Can you honestly blame Dan-I for thinking of a trope that fits right in?

As for Dan-I not knowing that Ru-Da is two-faced and can be incredibly manipulative, Ru-Da has never shown that to her in any great extent. The main two points were 1. with Yeoryeong and 2. when Ru-Da asked her to be friends. In both cases, Ru-Da didn't show any bad intentions. I mean, he doesn't want to hurt Dan-I in the first place (not sure if he realizes that breaking her and the 4 Heavenely Kings + Yeoryeong would hurt her, since from all Ru-Da knows, she's been friends with them for 3 years yet can't trust them, has self-confidence issues, seems to be more submissive in the relationships (aggresive phone calls), etc). Rather, he has done a lot for Dan-I. This is added to the fact that Ru-Da is the only person Dan-I has ever opened up to. Ever. Remember that the last time Dan-I tried to be friends with someone outside of the 4 Heavenly Kings and Yeoryeong, the 'friend' turned out to be a b*tch. Perhaps Dan-I has an inkling that Ru-Da is a bad person because of subtle hints, or perhaps she didn't. Either way, of course she doesn't want to believe that the one person she ever opened up to is bad person, nor is she going to think of that person being a bad person at all unless there was a reason to.

Dan-I has been alone. Sure she has friends, but there is also the knowledge that she is 'real' and they are 'fictional' that separates them. If you've never had the knowledge that a relationship will end but decided to continue with it and happily live in the moments with the other person despite that knowledge, then I envy you. Because it's a fragile happiness. I'm really tired of all the comments bashing Dan-I and calling her an idiot because trust me, I have seen idiots IRL and read stories with idiots and she is not one. She is relatable. The most relatable fictional character I've ever seen, to be honest. She has insecurities, she's never been noticed, she tries hard for her grades but her parents never tell her so much as a 'good job.' But she also has her strong points, she can stand up to herself when needed, etc. She is a human, and just because she's surrounded by people who seem perfect doesn't mean you should expect her to be the same.
