...Huh, I wonder what happened to 1865! Kim Namwoon

That's actually a really good question, I've never thought about it before.

I think he must have been swept up in the crowd with all the other people kimcom saved in the 1865th round. Like Lee Jihye's classmates, he became just another normal high schooler who survived the start of the apocalypse by crushing bugs.

Since he wasn't their companion in the only turn Kimcom knew, they didn't pay any special attention to him. The only one who knew that he was supposed to be a part of this all is Yoo Joonghyuk, and he probably decided to leave him alone for once.

Kimcom was already so united and isolated by their experience in the previous round, bring a 'stranger' into their fold for no reason would seem strange and unnecessary for them.

...It's sort of bittersweet. Kim Dokja's disregard is what saved him from the curse of being a protagonist in ORV. He is not stuck in the cycle like kimcom is, all because Kim Dokja decided not to save him.

Kim Namwoon is the only character that can be said to have truly and completely escaped the narrative.
