Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Solo Leveling addpermalink

Both are set in a world with fantastic creatures, with a system of level up and different abilities. Similar art (both good) and a likeable main character, with promising side characters. Both also show several times there is no limit to anybody's power, making the level up journey even more enjoyable. If solo leveling is a 10, i'd say Omniscient Reader is a solid 8 or 8.5

It is somewhat similar to solo leveling but at the same time quite different. 

reportRecommended by OldestDream_

Both are power fantasies that take place in the real world, which has been fused with rpg game type attributes. The main characters both have abilities that put them 'above the system', allowing for some cool shit to happen. 

reportRecommended by Uji_Gintoki_Bowl

∘ Made by the same studio, so you know art will be at its peak.
∘ Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy - with an additional tag - Post Apocalyptic.
∘ The protagonist of both are really smart. Omniscient Reader's protagonist uses his wits in every, well, scenario.
∘ If you like Solo Leveling, this is a must read.
∘ The storyline of Omniscient Reader is a literal roller-coaster -- of emotions and of genres.
∘ The world of Omniscient Reader is massive -- like huuuuuuge.
∘ As of writing of this recommendation, the manhwa/webtoon is nowhere close to the absolute size of the novel which consists of 551 chapters and the massive universe I mentioned earlier.
∘ If you haven't read or didn't like Solo Leveling, this is also a must read for you as this is a story for "readers."
∘ Lastly, this is one story that I recommend wholeheartedly, as this, is a must read for "readers."

Both tackle a similar situation in regards to mysterious power and situations as we follow both protagonists as they explore their newfound powers, worlds, and get to see different characters and adventures they partake on. Both with the same style of exploration and cast building, exploration, and depth.

Both have dark stories with OP MC. If you just caught up to Solo Leveling and are craving more cultivation type manhwa Omniscient Reader won't disappoint.

The two stories are set in a similar world, there are lots of great fight/action scenes. I prefer Omniscient reader because of the depth of characters (just my personal opinion), but Solo leveling has an interesting cast as well. The art style is amazing of both manhwas.

I heavily recommend these two!

Omniscient Reader:  
Story: 10/10  
truly incredible story that stands out in it's genre. It also has great character development and character interactions.
Visuals: 9.5/10
Very good visuals!

Solo leveling:
Story: 9.5/10  
The story flows well and it has great character development and character interactions.  It Lacks a tad bit when it comes to worldbuilding.
Visuals: 10/10
Stunning visuals that keeps you entertained. 

These could be for you  if you like
	- Action, Fantasy, apocalypse, monsters, mythology, isekai, shōnen
	- Leveling/upgrading/class system
	- male leads with black hair

Step away from your boring b/w comics and check these out!
Both comics feature a type of game leveling system, with stunning and colorful visuals fueled with action, fantasy and interesting male leads.  If you're into shōnen or wanting a story that feels more for young/adults, I'd say these comics will be a big step up and will probably not disapoint you. I suggest starting with Solo leveling, as the comic is finished, unlike ORV  which is currently ongoing.

My thoughts after reading them...
In my opinion Solo leveling is carried more on it's visual than it's story. This is not to say the story is poor, it is good and easier to digest than Omniscient Reader's viewpoint who has a bigger story/concept to play with and dive into.  The problem for me with Solo leveling is that it is a bit narrow minded when it comes to the viewpoint of other nationalities and doesn't take advantage of it's opportunity to truly worldbuild on its locations and people (which I find a repeating pattern of in other power stories with leveling systems as well, example  Kill the hero has the same issue).  Regardless, I did enjoy the story as it flows really well.  Out of the two I enjoyed Omniscient reader the most as it is unique and stands out in it's category - plus  I'm a sucker for the drizzle of mythology that it got. read more

Both have similar premises with 1) isekai video game / stat-raising mechanics, 2) protagonist that eventually becomes OP by their own intelligence, and 3) colorful cast of characters with their own "superpowers." 

However, ORV is overall stronger in terms of story and surprises - you actually have to be paying attention and actively questioning the status quo of the world. Quests have objectives that spice up the narrative. SL has better momentum because it's constantly hyping up the protagonist more and more, with the art and action sequences to back it up. Doesn't require much thinking on the part of the reader, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you just wanna see the main character kick ass. read more

They both feature a leveling up/growing concept, with amazing fights and art, however, unlike the easy to digest and constant hype building of SL, ORV dives in deep into 4th wall breaking concepts and has very unique ideas. The plot far surpasses that of Solo Leveling and there are plot twists around every corner.

While these are pretty different plots and concepts, if you liked Shizuos and and Izayas antics in durarara, you’ll like the mc (dokja) and the “hero” interactions.

Omniscient Reader doesn’t really have the confusing-ness and everything clearing up at the end. But if you had izaya as the narrator and protagonist of an apocalypse that he already knew that would happen (kinda) you’d get this.

Two manhwa with a main character who is able to outsmart the "dokkaebi" who transport people into their separate worlds where their suffering would normally be seen as entertainment by higher-ups and bystanders.

Both are manhwa in which the MC is the only one who's read or seen important information that no-one else has read (or at least not everyone has read further than a certain point in the case of ORV). This info proves extremely useful when an issue suddenly pops up for the MC.

<>Omniscient Reader is adventure and fantasy, Viral Hit has more rough fights and is about delinquents in the school environment.

These two series might sound incompatible, but there are some fun similarities between Detective Conan and Omniscient Reader:

* The protagonist loves a certain novel and references it all the time;
* He emulates or impersonates his favorite character on occasion;
* He makes lots of snarky commentary in his head, but not out loud;
* He is always thinking a dozen steps ahead and pulls some very complex gambit pileups;
* The protagonist keeps this huge secret from his allies and has to lie to them all the time;
* There's a girl in the same situation as the protagonist, and knows about his secret. She also has a somewhat evil personality;
* There's this one character who is just as likely to help the protagonist as to sabotage him;
* The antagonists are an organization that seems so untouchable and impossible for the protagonist to ever defeat, but he has to if he ever wants to live a normal life again.
