Omniscient Reader’s: When Fiction Becomes Reality - Manhwa Review
8 comments

Today I am going review one of the most loved manhwa which is "omniscient reader's" this manhwa has an adaption of movie. If you are looking for a manhwa which has twists, fantasy, action and psychological tension then this is the manhwa you need. The manhwa is also based on the popular Korean web novel.
In the beginning story of the story there's our protagonist Kim Dokja, who is an ordinary office worker. He goes to work everyday spending his life as he is only meant to be a npc.
He does not have a girlfriend or does have anything else in his life. For this reason he only finds joy in reading a web novel called Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse in short you can call it TWSA.
Dokja is the only reader of this web novel in the beginning there were plenty of views but as time passed the view count got less. He has been reading 3000+ chapters all alone and the only view it got is Dokja's view.
He often leaves comment to praise the author as he can't donate. He is very dedicated to read the novel and the end of the novel has come, this upsets Dokja as he has been reading it for 10 years and in his vulnerable days this web novel was the only thing that made him happy as he doesn't have any happy memories. Only the readers of TWSA knows how to end the game.

He was traveling in the metro and suddenly meets up with Sunga Yu, the most popular girl at work. He was still reading the wev novel and the author replied to him at the same time and he wanted to thank Dokja as he supported him till the end and also won a contest so author wanted to reward him in return, through email.
After that the reality of his world began to change. He found himself in the game he was reading about and became the protagonist of it, as he was the only reader that knew how to end the game...
I came to know about this manhwa through the movie that came out recently in 2025, one of my favourite cast Lee Min-ho is working in this movie. So, I didn't have time to watch it. But when I saw there's a manhwa about it, I decided to start reading this incredible manhwa. I wish had read it earlier.
The web novel and the manhwa came long ago, I am very excited to finish this manhwa at first I will read the manhwa then I will continue with the movie. I hope it's going to be as good as the manhwa.
I really like this type of fantasy and action related manhwa. The gaming concept is nothing new but converting your world in the gaming world is something new.
The most incredible thing is that there are levels of difficulties, a limited time to complete the task and reward for completing it, the penalty for failure is death. So, it's very exciting I am so curious to see what happens next.
The protagonist once who was feeling like a side character is now the main protagonist. He will be the one who is going to save others because only he knows the ending.

I would love to see his improvement from a weakling to a strong protagonist. To be honest the character of Dokjo and Sunga reminded me of "Solo Leveling" because they kinda look the same as Sung Jinwoo and Lee Joohee.
I don't know if Solo Leveling is inspired from this but I almost thought they came out of the other manhwa. Anyway it could be a coincidence for looking similar as anime faces are hard to draw in different way.
The action parts are pretty well drawn, I think if it becomes an anime it will be the best anime of the year. Because not only they have good plot but also good artstyle.
I am hoping that they will soon release an anime about this manhwa. Anyway, I got fascinated by their art work like I have never seen such good work. The colorings everything is just so perfect.
I liked the fact that every character has their own journey, depth and flaws. Also, I am glad that Dokja is unlike other typical hero's like he is very cunning, calculative and always manages to keep a strategy in his mind, and morally gray, that actually makes him incredibly compelling as a protagonist.
The manhwa is about navigating deadly scenarios where every decision can mean life or death. The apocalypse will bring out the real humanity of everyone else. When people are on bad terms only then you can see their reality. So, it's going to be a roller coaster ride.
I suggest everyone to read this manhwa at least once in their life, it only has 278 chapters and still on-going on webtoon. I hope I can finish this manhwa very soon because I am dying to know the end of it, I hope they have maintained it very well.
