Ahh this seems to be a new addition in here and I was WAITING for this to be added.

Note that the webtoon just recently released a few months back and I will be writing my review for the 36 chapters I have read, not the webnovel.
So let's get to it now, my review might be a bit too long with some spoilers.


STORY: 10/10
This starts off with a simple yet exciting plotline that many readers might be able to relate to. Our MC here is an avid reader of webnovels and he followed one of them in particular called "Three Ways to survive the apocalypse" ...

Omniscient Reader isn't the first manhwa to bloom outside its home, few others managed to do the same but what separates it from the rest is the fact it's very unique and I've personally never read anything like this ever before

Story : Incredibly immersive and Exciting with amazingly written lore. The manhwa starts with our protagonist Dokja realising that web novel he has been reading for years is the reality now. Apocalypse striked, the world has fallen but he knows how to survive and what will happen next. He was a reader, reader he still is, but a reader who knows it all. The characters ...

FINALLY!!!

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has finally made it to MAL!

This is one of the few series I can preach about until I completely convert the listener. And that is because I found ORV to be completely FLAWLESS!

Omniscient Reader is a pretty refreshing addition to the list of manhwas with OP MCs because now we finally have an MC who is BY NO MEANS OP in physical strength.

His utilisation of knowledge and wits to adapt to the world, deviating from the one he read about in the web novel, is what makes this story interesting.

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 ...

Both an incredible manhwa and light novel. Based on the LN of the same name omniscient reader is one of the best reads of the modern era. I truly recommend to anybody who is interested in fantasy even though it is not particularly over the top. I think explaining the plotline only hinders at your enjoyment so i suggest going in blind. Give it 5 manhwa chapters and if you're not hooked its not for you.

Brief Synopsis: Our protagonist is an average salary man who loves his light novels. During his childhood he follows a certain one for an extended period over multiple years until ...

This story is the peak of deus ex machina(a.k.a Random BS Go!!!) if I've ever seen one. Almost every conflict and problem is resolved by introducing a new element or character instead of with wit and determination. None of the characters hold any weight in the grand scheme of things. You just know that some new BS plot armor will save the day no matter what.

The world-building is a huge mess that lacks any consistency and logic. Again, new elements and characters keep getting conveniently introduced and immediately dropped/killed off once they're no longer useful to the plot. Even the leveling in the game ...

"This is the story of a reader"

So I'm caught up to the manhwa and I've also read a decent portion of the light novel (chapter 459) and I've got to say, this series is shaping up to be one of my favorites of all time.

*Note, this review contains very minor spoilers, but I've tried to mark them as best I can.*

The story begins with our main character Kim Dokja who is your average 28 year old office worker who has a hobby of reading web novels. There's one web novel in particular that he has been following for the past 10 years called 'Three ...

Alrighty then, let's talk about the Omniscient Reader Viewpoint Manhwa! This is going to be fun!

First off, let me just say that this manhwa is like a rollercoaster ride. It's got its ups and downs, its twists and turns, and sometimes you're left wondering what the heck just happened. But hey, that's what makes it exciting, right?

Now, let's get into the good points. The artwork is absolutely stunning. The characters are beautifully drawn and the action scenes are epic. Plus, the story is pretty unique. I mean, who wouldn't want to read about a guy who can see everything that's happening in a novel?

But, as ...

Honestly, I almost feel bad giving orv (Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, the original name of the webnovel) 10s in all categories because it makes it seem like I didn't think to criticize it at all, but it's really just because this series is genuinely one of the all time best, especially of those to come out recently.

Story - 10/10
Omniscient Reader's premise might seem simple or generic at first glance (basically reverse isekai), but the amount of detail placed into building an expansive, specific, and creative world brings it up to levels that are completely unmatchable by others in the same genre. It's somewhat complicated because ...

I'll try to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible. Conclusion will be at the bottom.

After going through _Tower of God_ and _Solo Leveling_, I was looking for more of that good webtoon reading. Looking for similar things, I managed to find myself reading this (this is also one of the first series where I joined up pretty early). And boy, am I glad I did so. This series has had my attention for so long, and for good reason. This series is amazing in the fact that it engrossed me so fast, and still captivates me to this day (currently at chapter 109). It's ...

This series is a gem, and I hope it sees the success Tower of God did. I am writing this revie was someone who reas the comic first and is only now reading the book (chapter 11)

Story: 10. I hate isekai. Especially modern isekai. It’s always some power trip self insert with barley any actual thought going into the characters, especially the main characters, or a good plot in general. ORV has surprised me with how well thought out and planned it is. First, it‘s a trope in Isekai that the MC will know everything about the world as they are a huge nerd. ...

Story: 7/10
The concept of the plot itself is pretty straightforward- the story from a novel get brought into real life, and there is just one guy who's read the whole book and knows what will happen, beginning to end.

What's great about ORV is how it presents its story. The main character, Dokja, is, as the title says, all-knowing. As a "reader," he knows what's going to happen in the story ahead of time (well, most of it, anyway.) The twist is that we, as the real readers, don't know anything about the book Dokja's read. So we have to piece together story details from ...

Damn, like what can I really say about this series at this point.

reading Omniscient Reader is like a magic trick.

At the start, you are a confused audience member who is staring at awe as something that shouldn't be possible. As the story/act progresses, information is given in small crumbs until the whole magic trick unravels. Once you finish the book, you see the whole trick, but you can't recall how it's done after a while.

When you reread, you see all the plants for the trick and it begins to click in your head, and you begin to recollect more and more as the magic ...

REALLY A WONDERFUL READ! 10/10 recommend it

Even the novel's storytelling makes me feel like the scenes are unfolding before my eyes. It made me laugh, cry (sometimes simultaneous) and feel for the characters like they are one of my own precious children. I can say that I fell in love with this in the first couple of chapters and that's rare for me.
Really this is a good one. I recommend reading this. I will not give spoilers. But what happens when the move you read becomes reality. Read it Read it Read it Read it Read it Read it Read it Read ...

I absolutely adore this manwha. This is by far my favorite out of all the overpowered mc/solo-leveling genres of stories.

While most of the aspects of the story can be pretty generic, I love the pop culture references the author includes. I remember audibly squealing when they referenced the Survive! Mola! Mola! phone game. I loved that game when I was younger and it was really cool to see it referenced. There are also a lot of allusions to western media (especially movies) that are really cool.

There are many other cool references but you should really read it to find ...

Omniscient Reader and i still can't spell the name right lol jokes aside, people liked this and hated on solo leveling even tho both are coming from the same studio? time to do a crusade hah....

Spoilers??? (i guess)

Anyywayyy OmniScient Reader in a way or another more complicated as a story yet it's good enough to get you hooked up AGAIN.

MC is lucky asf (focus on this point when you start reading the manhwa) HE'S SOO LUCKY after getting an admin like privileges and GOD-Tier passive skills to survive while knowing how's the world will end bcuz he completed a 3145 chapters from a ...

This is the first manhwa I've read that genuinely has a good story, and isn't just "I'm bored so I'll read some wish fufillment garbage with an op guy" (looking at you solo leveling). The characters and their dynamics are genuinely interesting, and though some of the arcs were a bit slow, the world building of it is really quite well done. The art is pretty cool, matches any other top manhwa so nothing incredible but good enough to feel enthralling when it needs to. Protagonist has some interesting struggles and interactions with side characters beyond the cliche garbage I've come to expect from webtoons, ...

To me it was a good experience of a world with RPG aspects. There are many layers that turn it incredible, the first one is the RPG world, that is something that we already have seen in other Manhwas like Solo Leveling, but still very competent. Following the layers, we have the fact that there is people that can surpass this RPG system and revive, being in a loop. But all this is controlled by divinity's beings, that watch the world like in different streams. And, after all this, there's our protagonist, that had read all this in a Novel, and knows everything that's ...

i have been reading webtoons for a time now and read solo levelling , the beginning after the end , tower of god to mention some few. but damn this manhwa is in a whole another level . You would be surprised how well plotted and detailed this webtoon is . the art is arguably on of the best you would see.
As time goes the story becomes more fascinating i have read till 59 and just cant digest the twists and the adventure they kept going. KIm dojka has just become the meaning of surprises ...

A hype as f*ck apocalyptic fantasy story where mc has knowledge of the future, yet still struggles and not everything goes his way. Trying to survive in the world of omniscient reader's viewpoint is like trying to play dark souls without dying on your first playthrough, so mc has a pretty big advantage from knowing how most of the scenarios will unfold. Has good art and is very fast-paced so you won't get bored easily. Most of the side characters and the mc are pretty bland but that is usually the case with most manhwa. 100% action and 0% romance 9/10 :)
