Synopsis

In the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse, people are forced to fight monsters and each other for coins, food, and—ultimately—survival. While mysterious "Constellations" watch the unwilling participants for their own entertainment, one man emerges as the protagonist: Yoo Joonghyuk, who repeatedly lives and dies in an endless struggle to close the book on this indiscriminate torture.

Kim Dokja has lived a challenging and action-packed life through Joonghyuk for over a decade. While other readers abandoned the story early on, Dokja has remained its sole reader until the very last chapter. At that time, he receives a puzzling message from the author, and the novel's inhumane world suddenly becomes reality.

As the only person aware of what lies ahead, Dokja realizes that he must utilize his omniscience to navigate the deadly scenarios and stay alive. Dokja was never meant to play a main part, but in defiance of those who wish to spell his fate, he might just have to take the lead in writing his own conclusion.

A beautiful but flawed masterpiece is the best way to describe ORV. It excels in many categories and has one of the best protagonist and side cast you'll find in any story but it also has just as many flaws.

Protagonist: Kim Dokja is one of the greatest and well written altruistic MC and is difficult to find anyone as good as him

Side cast : the ORV side cast is extremely good some amazing characters are YJH, HSY, the Kim dokja company and many of the constellations however they dont all get equal screen time leaving some characters rushed like Lee gilyoung who was written horribly

Throughout all the other 10/10 reviews on this site, it appears that I’ll be the first to provide actual criticism for this story.

This review will have 2 parts: the first section will focus on the positives of the novel, while the second will be used to explain the negatives. I’ll try to maintain the foundational logic of my critiques to be as objective as possible.

1. Overall plot writing:

- For the most part, ORV retains a healthy consistent pacing throughout itself; it rarely feels dragged out, nor does it ever feel rushed.

- The novel’s story-telling makes great use of many narrative plot techniques, such as ...

Preliminary (90/105 eps)
A story that could have been my favorite but which ultimately ended up being not for me.

I had heard nothing but positive things about Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (ORV) and I had high but reasonable expectations. When I first started reading it, it did manage to hook me quite well and I was enjoying the introduction of the whole world and the premise of the whole story. However, as I kept binging chapters, I don't know precisely what it was that made me feel this way but I started feeling that this novel wasn't exactly the groundbreaking experience I was hoping for.

The arc with the 'Ichthyosaurus' ...
