Gamgi-doryeong

감기도령

Gamgi-doryeong is a Korean web novelist, author of "Reincarnated, I Found Myself Cthulhu," which fuses the conventions of reincarnation web fiction with the Cthulhu Mythos — an example of the Mythos reworked into the Korean web-novel form.

What is public is the pen name and the work, and nothing else. That is not unusual in Korean web fiction, so the thinness of this entry reflects an absence of material rather than the size of the work.

The position the novel occupies is worth setting down. Reincarnation fiction is a genre in which the protagonist begins already knowing the rules of the world, while the Cthulhu Mythos is a line whose horror comes from the rules never becoming knowable. Join the two and the former’s grammar readily blunts the latter’s dread; how that tension is carried is what there is to watch in such a hybrid.
