Summary:

Kim Dokja has spent the last several years reading a webnovel. That doesn’t make him terribly unique, does it? What’s more interesting is that he’s the only reader of this webnovel – and it’s about to end.

As a reward for being the only reader of this series, he gets an alert, an edge, and a downloaded copy of the series. That in itself shouldn’t have been life-changing if not for what is about to happen to the world…

Review:

How does Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint keep finding new ways to up the ante? Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Vol. 4 brings the core group back together, with the addition of some unwilling members (sort of?). Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.

I feel like Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Vol. 4 finally got to the big question of the series: we all know that Junghyeok Yu is the protagonist of the world (not to be confused with Dokja, the protagonist of the story we’re reading), but what happens to the rest of the universe if he fails? Does the story stop and reset? Do the individual, unnamed characters survive? 

Naturally, it’s too early in the series to get any real answers to those questions, but it’s compelling food for thought. I love that this series is trying to add layers to the whole LitRPG adventure.

Highlights:

  • Manhwa
  • Dystopia
  • Story within a story

Trigger Warnings:

  • Graphic Depictions
