One of the best manhwas on Webtoon, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, currently has two big projects on the horizon, giving readers the perfect opportunity to catch up to the story before its premiere. Based on a web novel written by Sing N Song, the series' popularity is more than warranted thanks to its intriguing story following Kim Dokja, an avid web novel reader who enjoys catching up to his favorite novel during his commute time until its final chapter arrives and the world suddenly merges into this fantasy story, becoming the only one to know what will happen next.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has already amassed a large following with more than 425 million global views, and now, with a confirmed anime adaptation and a five-live-action film series whose first installment is coming shortly, readers have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to jump on the hype train ahead of its release.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Presents a Refreshing Apocalyptic World

RPG Stories’ Enthusiasts Will Appreciate Solo Leveling’s Influences in the Series

In Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, unlike the typical power fantasies, the protagonist Kim Dokja has the benefit of knowing what will happen by having read the novel “Three Ways to Survive in the Apocalypse” beforehand. This helps Dokja adapt better to this ruthless and dystopic reality, which gives the story another perspective that feels fresh, as it's not focusing only on becoming strong and defeating enemies but on using previous knowledge as a means of survival.

Furthermore, this premise is taken to another level with the use of common elements of RPG with a marked power system where the participants become players who have to raise their stats to gain new skills and overcome different challenges. This way, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint will appeal to Solo Leveling fans, as it also features a protagonist who seeks to get stronger and change everything established, in addition to presenting moral dilemmas, a world suddenly invaded by powerful magical beasts, and possessing a similar player interface and art style, since both series are from the same studio, REDICE.

Because of this, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a worthy replacement after reading Solo Leveling for fans looking for another power-scaling journey. Also, the series borrows game aspects that are more difficult to completely translate into animation or live-action due to the length. This makes the manhwa more accessible to readers who aren’t familiar with RPGs, as the series does a great job explaining the dynamic of the system by including many status windows that give a better understanding of the events, especially during the more action-packed moments.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint It’s the Next Big Sensation of the Survival Death Game Genre

The Manhwa It’s a Perfect Read for Fans of Alice in Borderland

In Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, the people not only have to survive the fearsome monsters but are forced to participate in sadistic scenarios streamed to an audience. While the plot might remind readers of iconic death game series like Alice in Borderland or Squid Game, in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint the scale is much larger, as it not only involves a confined space separate from the world or an abandoned parallel city but the whole world, with the games being transmitted to cosmic deities known as constellations.

Likewise, these constellations become the sponsors of the characters, giving them coins with which they can level up their stats, which adds another layer of mystery to Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’s story. Thanks to this unique high-stakes reality in which the world has become, the series is filled with fascinating themes like moral quandary, justice, deception, power, and betrayal, which represent the survival of the finest and give Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint the potential to reach an even larger audience given the current popularity of the death games genre.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Has One of the Most Interesting Protagonists Out There

Kim Dokja is Complex and Thought-Provoking

Kim Dokja starts as an office worker whose contract is about to expire and who doesn't have any more enjoyment in life than reading “Three Ways to Survive in the Apocalypse” during his commute time. However, Dokja changes with the ending of the web novel and the arrival of the apocalypse, becoming cold, calculating, and determined to do and use anything in order to survive. Dokja isn't evil, but his cunning and scheming nature makes him a complex and morally gray character that readers will slowly discover throughout the story, just as he will with his unusual ability of “Reader.”

Dokja doesn’t know if, due to his actions, he can change the ending of the novel or some of the events of the story for his benefit, so knowledge doesn’t guarantee his survival, given the manhwa has a greater difficulty, since he requires other skills and allies that will help him face powerful adversaries. Because of this, the series also introduces an incredible cast of characters with their own struggles and abilities necessary for survival. The dynamic between Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk, who is the main character of the novel, is especially captivating, as he is greatly influenced by Dokja’s intervention.
