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.

"I can't read it anymore, because I'm scared it'll end too soon.”

Excerpt From
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
Sing-shong (싱숑)

This quote explains pretty much my whole reading experience with ORV for the past few years. I have been avoiding the ending (about the last 50-60 Chapters) for years because I didn’t want this story, one of my absolute favorites and one that made one of the biggest impact on my teenage life, to end, reach the conclusion.

But what would have Kim Dokja wanted?

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.

POSITIVES————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

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 ...

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint gets a 1/10 from me. Here’s why:

Repetitive Plot: The story just keeps repeating itself. Major twists are predictable, and it feels like the same thing happens over and over again.
Weak Character Development: Kim Dokja stays pretty static throughout. He doesn’t grow much, and the side characters are just there to move the plot along.
Too Much Exposition: Instead of showing us the story, it just tells us everything. It’s like the characters keep explaining stuff instead of letting us figure it out, which slows everything down.
Pacing Problems: The pacing is all over the place. Some parts drag on for way too long, while ...
