Synopsis

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yoo Joonghyuk, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). Through Joonghyuk, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening "scenarios" that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like "Constellations."

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark. He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before.

Preliminary (199/? eps)
The Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is an exceptional manhwa that truly stands out in the world of webtoons and graphic novels. Based on the popular Korean web novel of the same name, this adaptation captures the essence of the original work while offering a visually compelling experience that enhances its narrative depth.

The story revolves around Kim Dokja, an ordinary office worker who becomes an unwitting player in a mysterious and perilous game that mirrors the web novel he has been obsessively reading. The unique premise—where the protagonist's deep knowledge of the novel's plot becomes both his greatest asset and his biggest burden—sets the stage for a ...

Okay. Here's the thing. I absolutely adore Omniscient Reader. The webnovel is easily beside my favourite novels/series like Les Miserables and Lord of the Rings. Seriously. The novel is just that good, and I honestly, wholeheartedly recommend reading the novel if you're someone who loves stories and great characters. There are a lot of impactful and heartbreaking moments in the book, and it moved me to tears both while reading it and thinking about it. So yeah. I love this novel. But then why did I only rate the webtoon a 7?

The thing is that Omniscient Reader is a story told from an unreliable point ...

This just didnt do it to me. People always call it peak, and that you just gotta keep reading if you dont like it, its gonna become good. But I dont wanna wait, I believe the journey should be just as good in a manhwa as whatever comes at ch140 or something. ORV story didnt captivate me at all and I feel like this is all about the story, the human interactions arent really good, the art is below average if I compare it to other manhwas like Suicide Hunter.

I dont see a point in reading this just to wait for a good arc ...
