hi what on earth is orv
(pinning this temporarily bc i keep getting asks <3)
Omniscient Readers Viewpoint is a korean webnovel and webtoon by Sing Shong! the webnovel is out in its entirety and the webtoon is still in the process of being made, though it’s very far behind. The webtoon might be bit easier as a starting point, as the translation is smoother and the visualization helps. Both are excellent and I really really do recommend reading the webnovel itself as that is the form it was written for.
it’s about a guy who is the only person who has read this really long obscure webnovel in its entirety and then when the webnovel ends, the events of it begin to unfold in real life and now this guy who otherwise rly had nothing going for him, has a major leg up in the new murder game apocalypse hell world. It sounds like a pretty straightforward isekai but it really goes above and beyond thematically.
reading it was an emotional rollercoaster that made me laugh, mutter in horror and cry harder than i have in ages. I would recc it to enjoyers of homestuck, spn fans who wish the meta shit was actually good, those who enjoy a good ol hunger games style battle royale, and i think anyone who enjoys an action packed shonen/seinen would enjoy as well.
if you want a more in-depth recc this is the post that made me read it
where to find it:
Webtoon: it’s a fully illustrated webcomic. it is ongoing.
Webnovel: it’s the original prose translated to english. it is completed.
Epub: same as above but an epub and with some translation stuff standardized.
Audiobook: It’s me. It’s my audiobook. Recently started but will be updating once a week with ~1hr long updates. On hiatus until August.
Audiobook: Another fan made audiobook. Stopped Updating around 4 months ago at chapter 112.
