Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (novel), Vol. 1

After reading the manhwa(korean comics) I thought reading the book would be boring, however I read it in one night. The printing, style of the book was decent. Only thing I didn't like was translated names of a characters. For example Kim Dokja became Dokja Kim which really annoyes when you reading it after the manhwa or korean version. Characters 10/10, well written but don't have too much of a description. World 10/10 - everything happens in Korea, so you can see mentioning of a real places such as Han river. Total: the Omniscient reader's viewpoint is 10/10 for those who like fiction and mythology mixed with a reality. For those who don't like a slow pace story or when a lot of characters are from different mythology this story will be 7/10 or even lower.

Fantastic read and love the physical version of the novel. The cover is gorgeous and textured!! Am so happy to own a physical copy of one of my favorite novels and the translation is amazing. The novel gives more detail and depth than the webcomic, so even if you’ve read that you can be like Dokja and read it again from a new perspective. Wonderful purchase!

This isn’t just another fantasy/leveling-up story, it’s a love letter to the readers. What starts off feeling familiar quickly transforms into something far deeper and more captivating than you’d ever expect. The plot is clever and layered, the characters are rich and multi-dimensional, and the pacing keeps you hooked without ever dragging. By the time you finish, you’ll realize this isn’t just a story you read, it’s one you experience. Fully recommended.

Omg! Have been waiting for this book since IzePress made the announcement! I'm a fan of ORV and honestly I read this chapters already but don't care! I will do it again! The cover is sooo beautiful and omg Dokja!! My only issue is that, yes the book come in a bag to protect it but it didn't mean that ppl should handle it as the bag was of iron. I took photo of how it looks and yes, I don't like it but it doesn't mean that I'm not happy with this product. Maybe I should have asked for a gift bag? Idk. Recommend this novel! You won't regret it!

I love this story. I read the fan translation awhile ago and have been reading the webtoon. I'm happy the novel final got an official English release

The Book is beautiful, the quality of the pages and the cover is great! Amazing Story however a few gripes with the localization of the characters and words. If you have read the Webtoon or read the novel online beforehand it is a little disappointing. An example would be how they changed The Dokkaebi’s into the literal translation of the word which is goblin. To westerners goblins are very different to what the book describes and this can be found in other places aswell creating a jarring experience compared to reading the webtoon. If you are able to look past that or are a first time reader the novel is still amazing and I definitely recommend picking this up!

Incredible!!! the novel's design is stunning and gorgeous, and this version is much easier to read/understand than the web novel's og translation. ORV's novel was put together with such care and intentionality, I can't wait for the next release!

This is the physical edition of a popular webnovel: 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.' I've never read the webnovel before, nor have i seen the manhwa / webcomic. There's a few spoilers with this review. The plot is that this man, Dokja Kim, was the sole reader of a specific webnovel which takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, and the webnovel becomes reality. And 'constellations' watch the events unfold, donate coins, and give reactions -- as if they're reading a webnovel, but humanity ends up being the characters in the story. And that's where spoilers end. Despite him 'knowing' the outcome, he can either let things play out or alter the story. He does a bit of both, and the novel stays interesting. Dokja has to use his wits and prior knowledge to survive his new reality. It gives an edge to the main character, but the way its written was good. Never came off as a cheap way to give Dokja Kim any plot armor. Another thing I want to note in this review, is that if you like video games then the idea of stats & defeating bosses is applied to this book. It's very much a webnovel-type of story in that regard. I know that there are readers who don't like that kind of thing, but if you are into webnovels like Shadow Slave or any kind of LitRPG style books then this book is right up your alley. It makes me want to read the webnovel in order to keep up with the story (you can totally just use an app or buy the Kindle version), but I like physical copies of books.
