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

As a struggling office worker, Dokja Kim’s sole joy in life is an online novel so obscure that he’s its only reader. Then one day the story comes to an end…and so does the world. 

 

People all around the globe suddenly find themselves being massacred by horrific monsters or pitted against each other in sadistic scenarios straight out of the novel. However, only Dokja is aware that this is merely the first chapter of what is to come. Knowing that devastating plot twists are on the horizon, he can no longer afford to sit back as a reader—it’s time for Dokja to step up and write his own destiny!

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:

I’m a sucker for an engaging description and a solid cover, so when I spotted a stack of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint at my local library, I knew I was going to give it a try. This series starts immediately in a way most readers can appreciate - with a character completely hooked on a fictional world.

However, there’s a significant twist, and it doesn’t take long to hit Kim Dokja and the rest of his world (HARD). So that’s how Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Vol. 1 kicks off, and I am already invested. So yes, I will be reading the rest of this series!

Watching the main character change so much in a single volume was fascinating. He goes from a quiet worker (dare I say, nerd?) to a calm and determined…well, he’s not a hero, but he’s something else.

As for the world, I also need to see more of that. There are so many questions; the only way to get those answers is to keep reading. So onward!
