The Most Wishing Reader

Chapter 2's

“It..”.

It was annoying to think that a recommendation written with my sincerity turned out like this. If they look a little, why doesn't anyone try to read an interesting novel? I wanted to make a donation to the author, but I could not afford it because I was a salary worker who could barely afford to make a living. Then I received a notification that message ‘had arrived. ‘

- Tls123: Thank you.

A message came out of nowhere. It took me a while to understand the situation.

- Kim Dokja: The author?

tls123 — it is the author of ‘Ways of Survival. ‘

- Tls123: I can finish it to the end thanks to you. I also won the competition.

I can't believe it. Ways of Survival winning the competition?

kim Dokja: Congratulations! What competition?

tls123: You will not know it because it is an unknown competition.

I wondered if he was lying because he was ashamed, but I wanted it to be true. Maybe I really don't know. Maybe a little hit on another platform. I'm a little sad, but it's nice to have a good story spread.

- Tls123: I'd like to send a special gift to you as a thank you.

- Kim Dokja: A Gift?

- Tls123: Thanks to my readers, this story has come into the world.

I gave the author my email address when he asked.

-tls123: Ah, right. I have a monetization schedule.

kim Dokja: Wow, really? When will it start? This masterpiece should have been paid from the beginning …

That's lies. The Ways of Survival is a daily series, so I have to spend 3,000 won a month. 3,000 won was one lunch at the convenience store for me.

kim Dokja: Then the epilogue that comes tomorrow will be paid?

- Tls123: Yes, I'm afraid you have to pay for it.

kim Dokja: Of course, I have to pay! I'll buy the last one!

There was no reply from the author afterwards. I'm off the site. Then I felt a pervasive pessimism later in life. The author leaves without reply after he succeeds …? My admiration turned into petty jealousy. What makes me so excited? Anyway, it's not my novel.

“Will he give you a cultural gift certificate? It would be better if for 50,000 won.”

At that moment, I thought naively. I don't know anything about what will happen to the world the next day.

[1] Iljins \= Used to be used specifically for mafia gangsters and means “main team” aka gang's best fighters. Now, it is more often used to refer to “bad” children in school – children who constantly interrupt classes, get in trouble, leave school, smoke, drink, etc

“I Dokja.” [1]

I usually introduce myself to people like this, then the following misunderstandings will occur.

“Oh, are you an only child?”

“Yes, but that's not what I mean.”

“Hah? Then?”

“My name is Dokja, Kim Dokja.”

Kim Dokja (Single Child of Great Respect) —my father gave me that name to be a strong man himself. However, thanks to the name my father gave me, I turned out to be just a normal, lonely man

In short, it's like this: I'm Kim Dokja, 28, and single. My hobby is reading web novels on the subway.

“Then I will use my smartphone.”

In the noisy subway, I raised my head reflexively. A pair of curious eyes stared straight at me.
