Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA).

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before.

I love this novel so much. Reading it brings me so much joy, this book makes me feel like Dokja at the beginning when he's on the train reading next to Sangah. Other novels pale in comparison, this novel truly changed my way of thinking. I love it.

One read through will never be enough to fully grasp the story and it's depth. Don't let the number of chapters deter you but instead motivate. Reading through other reviews, they have points where the battles become less and less important and become very similar to DBZ's power stacking. But in a way, it serves as not only a parody but also an ode to its isekai brothers/sisters. It also does become more focused on the STORY and it's reader the further you ge-t but if that's what bothers you,... more>> then perhaps this ain't the story for you. If you reach a certain transcedental stage as a reader the beauty of reading through the black text and the white spaces in between is surely an unforgettable experience. <<less

A fantastic story. The writing was amazing and I flew through the chapters. However, Dokja (the main character) has lots of plot armor, and the plot gets quite complex as the story progresses. Despite this, I would still strongly recommend ORV. The characters and story writing is exceptional and makes you want to keep reading. I personally, loved this webnovel!

I remember dropping this novel a few times before deciding to read it completely, the writing style (or translation style) was a little weird for me as I had just entered the webnovel world.

I stayed for Our MC and the Original MC, their interactions were a bit short for me.

The other characters felt like they were just going along with the MC

I don't think I'll be rereading this ever, but I enjoyed it. :)

Boring af, bad writing and start. If a book can't make me interested within first hour I'm dropping it even if it gets godly or whatever later on. I can't afford to spend another 10 hrs of reading up to ch 200 to reach the point where it gets better (if better means good which I sincerely doubt).

If I could I would have given this series 6/5

It kinda suffers from your usual "MC does all the work in the end even if he has highly competent team" but my god, the story is superb and the usage of the mythos is on point.

It kinda meanders with extended epilogue (s) but it hits hard with the last one with one of the greatest plot-twists I saw.

I have nothing to say except it was the most amazing novel I have read. Its themes and what the authors wanted to portray were perfectly conveyed to the readers.

So many characters that the readers can connect to, especially the MC. All the characters had amazing developments and character arcs.

The world-building is long, yes, but once it's all done, the plot really gets going. Like really.

Though the novel is lengthy, everything made sense as to why it was added. There were so many twists and turns that it may take... more>> another read to understand fully what was going on. That is exactly why it's amazing.

100000% recommend to anyone. You will laugh, cry, and cry even more until you run out of tears :) <<less

What can I say about this novel... there’s too much. It’s a bit cliched and lengthy and perhaps the biggest thing is that it’s really, really confusing. But, that’s what makes this novel amazing. Somehow, it went from something I like enough to keep reading (I kept thinking to myself, “might as well”) to something that makes my heart ache whenever I think about it. As I got closer and closer to the end the more quickly I got attached to a lot of the characters and the plot and... more>> it just blew my mind.

I don’t know how this kind of story that I don’t usually like became one of my favorites, but the emotions you feel while reading it leaves you feeling like that. It forces a connection with you. And it’s really a story you need to reread to understand better, because only after you’ve finished can you go back to it and really savor the story like you couldn’t the first time. Just like the characters, you the reader know nothing. So, be prepared for a long journey. ‘Cause like I said holy crap is this novel long, not to mention rereading it. <<less

The story planning behind, the way the joke play and the way that the story being executed are all perfect.

The beginning of the story giving a light heart feeling mix with little angst. I can handle that level because from time to time, there will be light heart moment and small joke to make you giggle along a very serious and fast pacing story.

But near the end, it's like roller coaster. My heart beat so fast while reading it. It's like the author give me hope and tear it apart...... more>> then redo it over and over... I feel very scare of the ending in epilogue while keep going.... But I made it to the end. There is a hope but also can feel something tearing my heart at the same time.

I know I must re-read it to see it in another viewpoint but I cannot bring myself to start yet because the emotional near the end is too intense. My heart is not prepare for second attack.

It's been so long to read a really long story with this emotional feel. <<less

This novel is an epic!! When I say epic it's literally epic. It's still trending Top 1 for some reasons even after completion for few years, right?! I would love to see if there any animation made based on this novel. I'm already reading the manhwa. I was in love with it thorough out the whole reading! (っ≧ω≦) っ I won't talk about plot or any spoiler there's already so many. Just before rating this 1st finish the whole novel. Wording can be complex sometimes but with bit brain cells I... more>> guess anyone can understand. But even then if you still don't like the novel then you should stop reading any novel at all cause you probably won't like them either or start writing something for yourself.

╮ (￣▽￣) ╭

My curiosity about "what comes after " kept me immersed in story. All the suspense was killing me to find them out. I felt countless emotions, something thrilled, sometimes sadnesses, sometimes laughter, sometimes felt goosebumps. I came to like some characters that I didn't like at 1st. And at the end came to like everything in the novel. There were some characters when they entre at certain times I kept cheering on them, they were so coolly depicted.✨_✨

But one thing, I'm not a fan of open ending. There were countless ending I could think up. So what if this or what if that's the ending. I don't like these jumbling thoughts of mine. Guess this is my problem only. But still I would've been loved it, if the ending was written and I hadn't had to imagine it. (T^T)

In all honesty I really loved this story, so much so that I cloud become second Kim Dokja who loves a certain story.

Okay first of all, this is easily one of best novel I have read and I really cannot put into words how much I love this novel T^T Okay let me break down my thoughts about this novel...

Okay let's start with the bad. While I absolutely love this novel and will easily give it a 5/5 rating, there were some parts that left me...

  1. One thing that is for sure, this novel will definitely NOT appeal to readers who detest complex plots. To be fair, personally I found certain parts unnecessary overly complexed when they are just being introduced. Thankfully, they aren't that hard to grasp as you continue to read on and digest. Then again, understandably many people may be put off by it
  2. I feel like you can only truly enjoy the whole novel if you read until the very end. I saw alot of reviews giving it one star and they dropped it before even reaching chapter 100. Tbh as I read it, I felt that up to chapter 100 was merely the 'prologue' setting the premise for the story. Hence, it's no surprise people some ppl dropped it considering ppl would usually only read around 30~50 chapters as a 'taster'
  3. While I will give credit that I really liked the character design of pretty much everyone in the novel (including both incarnations, constellations etc), especially those in KDJ com, I do feel that some of them (esp kdj com) weren't really explored well during the scenarios. I believe it made sense for KDJ to be the main focus for the story (also given the real premise ahem ahem) but I do think some of the characters were kinda 'forsaken'? Some parts even made me feel like they were there just to increase the headcount of number of people kdj needs to look out for
Okay now you may be thinking... more>> if I have so many things to complain about, why give it 5/5 hahaha

  1. I truly cannot emphasise how impressed I am by the writing. If you read til the very end, you can tell this novel is planned from the start and author actually know what's up, instead of just "leave this empty for now and cover up later with some nonsense". Tbh, around chapter 300+ I was getting abit :// with the introduction of so many things and the increasing number of plot holes. After finishing the novel, I was so surprised by how put together the novel is? One thing I really must praise is the epilogue for sure. Many novels I read, epilogues seems to feel more like the author milking the story or like it's extra fluff or something. This was NOT the case for ORV. The epilogue gave so much insight to how the other characters actually when not filtered through KDJ's subjective viewpoint. This is especially the case for yjh and hsy. Their paradox was explained so well I literally felt like I gained enlightenment or something lol. But yes, the plot was absolutely phenomenal and I don't think I'll ever forget it???
  2. Let me just establish that Kim Dokja is easily one of my favourite MC of all time. His role as an unreliable narrator was really what drew me into the novel. Initially, he comes off as acting c*cky for knowing what's going to happen next, but as you read on and realise he really is just bluffing and trying to detach himself from the story, you cant help but start second guessing if what he is narrating is even true. This is especially crucial to how YJH perceives him, him being actually an absolute crybaby, etc.
  3. One of my favourite element of the novel is definitely "Fourth Wall". It really is an authentic skill and throughout the novel, I couldnt stop trying to guess its identity and purpose? Upon its introduction, it didnt feel like much, perhaps just an overpowered skill? But as you read on, it rlly gives so much context to how KDJ acts around other people eg. Why initially it felt more like kdj was quite 'detached' and more like bossing the other characters around.
Anyways. I dont think there's a point in me writing more hahahaha if you're planning to read it, I really do hope you'll read it til the end <<less

Anyone who has reviewed this novel as bad clearly didn't even get past the 100th chap which is actually ironic since one of the themes of the book is about people who judge a book as bad before even finishing the book or even getting far enough in a book to judge it. ORV is a book you have to finish to understand how genius it is.

If you are looking for a novel that spoon feeds you this isn't it. Every insignificant line or ''plot hole'' you think exists in... more>> this novel is crucial to understanding the ending which will answer every question you have. I've read this novel five times already and everytime I discover something new I didn't catch the time before.

Spoiler

this novel is meant to be read in a loop. It's a never ending loop which is why it's important to read till the end because the beginning makes sense only if you've read the entire end till the last sentence and start again.

This is not a ''sterotypical gameworld / dungeon crawler / hunter esque'' world, anyone who thinks that is what the setting is in ORV didn't even read far enough to judge the book, because that is only the literal facade the author put up for you to think is the case till you understand the true nature of the world.

I just finished the work and here we go for review.

-

1. Story ★★★★★ - Well closed story, with good plots and back in time that is confusing at first, but is very simple to understand. About the "system" of the work itself, which I found FANTASTIC! It's been a while since you've been amazed at such a rounded and complex system without being overdone.

2. Character ★★★★★ - Fantastic, all his personalities well built at first like the Original MC, and even he changes little by little along with the other... more>> characters in the story, even the Gods have their developments, which is fantastic if compare to other works that include mythological beings with a fixed personality (never changes).

3. Enjoyment ★★★★★ - When you will have time to read, I was hooked and rushed the work, still well balanced comedy, plot things, a pleasant time reading.

4. General ★★★★★ - Don't waste time and start reading, it's a great work with good characters, it has its "Deus Ex-Machina" because the MC knows about everything, but at the same time, everything can change is same? KEKW.

PS: If you want romance, you don't have it unfortunately.

If you read this review thank you very much and may God bless you, I avoided spoiler XD.

Spoiler

Did you manage to write a good epilogue my fellow reader? KEKW

ORV is not just about an overpowered main character leveling up to become the strongest and reach the stage that no one else could reach. It's about the journey of one ordinary reader Kim Dokja and his struggle to chase the ending he wanted. In the process, he interacted with actual people he used to regard as 'characters' and developed a loyal team that he treasured who treasured him in return. He's strong, but not ridiculously strong that he could solve everything alone without relying on others ... more>>
Spoiler

though he did try every time, the team weren't happy

[collapse]

I would love to leave a detailed summary, but I am sure a lot of reviewers already beat me to it.

Character: 10/10. Love both the personality and development each single characters have.

Plot: 10/10. There was some scene here and there that got me bored, but that's normal for a hundred chapters-long web novel.

Personal rating: 10/10. It got me obsessed. <<less

Started out with an interesting premise and progression, but around 200 chapters in I can sense the story is stalling. The primary weakness is that characters are one-dimensional and dumb. Conflicts are cut-and-dry. Characters don't plan ahead very much and don't need to because the plot doesn't require it of them. Compare this to Reverend Insanity, where every "upset" Fang Yuan pulls off has me in admiration of his perseverance and cunning, whereas every "upset" Dojka pulls off makes me feel the story gets more and more contrived. Things are... more>> perfectly timed so that it works out in the end for him, without requiring much planning on his part. So far, no important (read: close to the MC) character has died despite all odds pointing to them dying. Each time they're saved by some Deus ex Machina so there's really no suspense. <<less

Interesting concept and it's easy to read. The world-building covers myths and legends of cultures around the world and the story is fresh even though it pretty much makes a parody of generic tropes like swordmasters and 9th circle magicians. The main character starts off as a selfish coward but gradually grows and becomes someone worth rooting for.

There are some obvious plot holes and the translation has frequent errors like using the wrong name or mixing up words like "did" and "didn't" but they're all easy to catch and roll... more>> with.

Halfway through, a new translator tries to change everything and it's brutal to read but an editor takes over and it's more or less fine after that.

4/5, fun story <<less

One of my favourite novels ever! Every second I spent reading this was well worth it.

Kim Dokja is just a 10/10 character even if he himself does not think so lol. I love the relationship between the characters and how they interact especially the holy trio that is Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk and Han Sooyoung.

I would've loved more chapters with Oldest Dream but oh well. Thankfully, authors on Twitter provide me OD food everyday haha.

I would say that even if first-person POV is not your cup of tea, still do... more>> give it a try! I got weirded out at first because I was so used to third-person POVs but I got used to it and it was actually quite enjoyable.

Overall, ORV will forever have a solid spot in my heart. I am not emotionally ready for a re-read though lol. <<less
