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.

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

I don't know what to say except, amazing....

This novel was one of the biggest rollercoasters I've ridden. I felt like I was constantly going up and down and round and around. All my questions were answered in satisfying, if not heart wrenching, ways.

For people who put importance in the plot, this is an ideal novel for you. It was incredibly complex, but explained admirably.

... more>> It's very long, so you'll need to be in for the long haul, but it's worth it. It's soooo worth it.

But, yes, it's sad. I didn't full on bawl, but my heart hurt many times throughout this book. <<less

Don't believe those people who commented in here without finishing the novel because it's actually great (one of the best paradox stories for me). It's one of those stories that when you reread it, it changes how you look at the story.

The art is also great (as you can see on the cover) and for your information, there's an ongoing manhwa for this!!

Overall, I love this story and is definitely worth the while (should be wait but since it's finished now so it doesn't count). Have fun reading!!

There's a big reason why I love this story. And unlike most other stories on here, this story is complete. This story was written with a beginning to end in mind from the start. And if you do reach the [Epilogue] you'll understand how most things in this fable happen the way they are.

I had to create an account just to review lol

It's a good novel so far. The main characters and supporting characters are all good and have their own unique quirks.

At some points, the MC seems to be too OP and the plot is kinda cliche as other isekai-genre but as the story goes on, things get bigger and more interesting.

I haven't read to the end yet I was spoiled the ending so I say the end tie up nicely as why the MC seems OP and such ... more>>
Spoiler

he's the fricking creator of the story. it's like you write a self insert fanfic and it comes true lol

[collapse]

The plot moving pretty fast too so I haven't got bored between reading yet.

The only downside is that because the cast is kind of big so some people don't have enough screen time in my opinion but yep, that's the only downside I can think of.

I'm at chapter 436 and reluctant to continue reading because dang, don't want to reach the end haha... <<less

This novel is riveting. I must say the author/s has a lot of imagination for writing this novel.

I really liked it but if I may say my one concern is the novel is written in a first person POV. And to be honest, I wouldn't be able to completely read the novel without seeing the webtoon first.

In the webtoon, I saw some comments that there is perhaps BL in it but reading the novel, I can tell you there is none. It's all absolutely platonic. So don't expect romance here.

Regardless... more>> of that, the journey of the characters are really fastidious. I am just glad that there is an end of their hard word, their pain, their long ass scenario after scenario....

So definitely recommend. If you are having a hard time reading the novel, look for the webtoon first. It might help you imagine the characters, the setting and plot. <<less

Wouldn't call this a masterpiece but it is good. It goes quite repetitive the more you read but still enjoyable. I really like reading from the POV of a guy who doesn't really cares of moral (I guess he does care but.. Yk not like most MCs) makes you feel nice ironically.

There is so much to say about ORV.

Firstly, let’s get the core strength of ORV out of the way:

The characters and their intrapersonal relationships. Found family is a trope found often in novels such as these, but ORV gets the job done just right. The characters all have multifaceted layers to them, so the relationships they develop across the journey are all that much more real. A big gripe of mine is how often characters in other novels are thrown to the side to make way for a character or... more>> three that continue to develop while the others stagnate. ORV for the most part avoids this, giving everyone a chance. Found family is hard to feel for if all the characters don’t have much importance, but with the companions Dokja makes along the way, the feelings are conveyed nicely.

Spoiler

The main trio is also one of the best I’ve seen in fiction. None are tossed aside, they all live and love for each other. It is a relationship so intimate, the relationship of true life and death companions, of a writer, a reader, and the creation. Their story unfolds in unconventional ways, and perhaps initially they did not feel they would be so important to each other, but life works in mysterious ways.

[collapse]

Dokja is a peculiar MC, with a narrative direction that might even be seen as unreliable at times. That said, he is an MC with a good head on his shoulders, and he for the most part is never overbearing or annoying. All the battles he fights with companions have satisfying payoff, and plot armor, while existent, never feels too out of place.

Another one of my favorite things about ORV is the writing of the main cast, especially the women. A lot of novels and media in general often write women in a way that is... lacking to say the least. Although not perfect, the writing in ORV makes the women shine as much as the others and it isn’t executed poorly. My favorite character in the novel is actually allowed to be imperfect, allowed to be what she is and what she stands for without many setbacks. That is a novelty in the novel sphere for now, so it was still worth mentioning.

My gripes with ORV are pretty much nitpicks; Sometimes some things do feel like copouts. But I allow it, for ultimately, this is the story Dokja, the MC wanted. Also, the relationship between the reader and the novel will probably hit very strongly for those like me, who read and read for some reason or another.

All in all; ORV is not perfect. It isn’t meant to be, nothing is. However, it does have countless strengths in it’s core cast that I consider it a must read for fans of strong relationships in fiction. I think those who enjoy such things are in for a narrative worth the time and effort. <<less

The plot twist, the characters, the wonderfully powerful and fully fleshed out female characters whose powers have nothing to do with b**b flashing. Good characters, good people, conflicted people and unreliable narration... This story has them all and more besides!!

Gorgeously rendered story with satisfyingly long epilogue to give further devastation and hope.

First of all, I think the strongest point of this novel resides in it's protagonist. Kim DokJa is such a charismatic MC: he's smart, cunning, a true strategists but so human, lovable and dense as a brick. It was nice, for a change, to experience a male lead who is actually... Well, interesting, full of flaws and not so linear.

And not to be rude to @ all the other male leads, but reading through DokJa's point of view is such a fun experience: having a character that isn't attached to... more>> an absolute moral code and that isn't afraid to appear evil at times (all for the sake of staying truthful to themselves, the people they care about and their goal) is refreshing, to say the least. I also found him incredible relatable, so ready to fight constellations and outer gods face to face, but still being hesitant and unsure when human emotions and a heart to heart conversation are on the table.

Second, the female characters in this novel are well-written. And there are actually a lot of them, which is such a nice surprise. I love action, I really do, but one of my pet peeves with the genre revolves in the female characters being there to just as a mere love interest for the ML. Here? In ORV the female characters actually help with the plot, they're powerful and well-rounded characters, with complex feelings and backstories.

Third, it's apocalypse time boys, there's no time for romance, we got answers to find, scenarios to complete and a whole lot of bad guys to fight. Although I do enjoy a good love story, sometimes in this kind of settings where there's so much at stake, any attempt at romance comes as half-assed. Usually, the rest of the plot ends up swallowing the love story and therefore the development seems forced and artificial. Not with ORV tho: there's no time for any of that. Although I can assure you the book explores different types of human conecctions, romantic love isn't the focus at all.

I could go on and on, but ORV is indisputably a roller coaster of a novel that you need to experience for yourself. The amount of times I laughed, cried and raged while reading... I signed up for an action book, but I got that and so much more. This novel has a certain depth to it: it doesn't conforms with great arcs, figthing scenes and mythological creatures, but it goes beyond that and explores the bond that binds character, author and reader together, and the symbiotic relationship between them. <<less

Hot damn, this story T.T Ahh, I cried so many times. The MC is too easy to cry for. Man, this was such a good story? There is a very obvious amount of love and care that went into it. All the foreshadowing and circular plot points felt very airtight? At least as far as I can tell. And I can understand it? Normally, when these types of tropes are used, it gets super complicated or there are plot holes everywhere. But it was very easy to understand! Even... more>> when the scale gets super huge. Also, all the themes in the story are super heavy! And they were handled very well! Depression, loneliness, ab*se wow Also, I love the themes and how they all connect to each other, even to the medium of the story! I love almost everything about this haha. The found family, the adventure, the plot twists, all the feels man. And I especially grew to adore these characters so much.

I absolutely enjoyed reading this!

What I look for in most novels are good plot and character development. I can say that this one is really good at that. All characters that have major roles in the story were definitely wonderfully written. Their personalities vary and they don't feel like static characters. I really love stories that are able to give justice to their characters. Everyone in the story has some sort of backstory and they reflect well on the characters' personalities.

The plot is really interesting and gets a little more... more>> complex towards the end but I can still say that it was written properly and a lot of things were explained well. Of course there may be some things that were left unanswered though but I think the author deliberately left them like that, especially at around the end.

This was very interesting to read for me, so much that I actually want more but at the same time the ending for this story seemed fitting. Although personally, I really do want to know what happens next... >.<

BTW, MC kinda reminds me of Cale from tr*sh of the Count's Family (namely the self-sacrificing and wanting to save everyone part of them...) so if you liked this then maybe you'd enjoy that one too and vice-versa. <<less

Still not finished reading. But so far whenever I read I just cannot stop until finally something urgent come up like the need to use to toilet or I just fall asleep. The plot is so good and I love the MC. The story is a layers of mystery that just wait for me to uncover each layer that full of surprise.

I will update my review later when I finish.

One of the best webnovels I've ever read. It's so meta. It's like exploring an existential question of what it means to read and be part of a story. It's also nice since I can relate to lots of the themes and stories in the story since I've read a bunch of different genres. 10/10 would recommend.

Personally, I love this novel. This is absolutely gold and is one of my top favourite novels. If you're looking for action, character developments, a new world, I absolutely recommend this. Would also recommend this for people who had read 'Solo Leveling / Only I Level Up' or similar novels.

Twists would sometimes leave me in tears, laugh out; characters especially grew on me. It was a rollercoaster full of turns and twists.

However, I do admit some bits were a bit confusing, especially near the end. Nevertheless, the journey, the excitement... more>> as I've read through, left me no words when I've read the ending.

10/10 or a 9.5/10. Future readers, you're in for a ride. <<less

I have just finished reading it. Still can't let go of the end but for me, I think that was the best way to end this novel. I gave a high score because I like all the characters and I love the plot.

P.S. But still can't believe that was the end 🥺

First of all, I think that rating this novel one star may be a tad too much.

[I meant to click 3.5/4 stars, so apologies]

Of course, it starts off with the typical reincarnation. Kim Dokja, an office worker, realizes that the novel he's read has come to life.

... more>> He passes the first scenario, meets the protagonist, Yoo Jonghyuk.

But it gradually gets complicated. Along with the concept of modifiers, outer gods, regression and a bunch of other things, there are so many things I'm confused about so far, but it's probably because I haven't read until the end.

Along with the nebulae, 'stories, ' and scenarios, there's so many complicated things that I haven't seen unfolded. And what about the Fourth Wall??

Like someone brought up before, most characters like Kim Dokja's mother are discarded after their respective arcs. Han Sooyoung's Avatar-and-lost-memories-arc gets a bit confusing as it's only brought up once or twice so far, 300 chapters in. Some characters and locations - Peace Land, Murim, etc. Don't really drive the plot and could be built upon more (?)

Of course, that doesn't mean the novel isn't good. If you have a better attention span than I do, you might be able to catch all the details. The modifiers and the portrayal of the constellations in the Star Stream, along with the whole streaming system is quite well thought out.

I, personally, liked the poetic names, like [Prisoner of the Golden Headband] and [Queen of the Darkest Spring], along with the whole sponsor thing. I also like Dokja's personality as a whole, but so far everything's getting a bit complicated.

It would be nice to see the plot gradually unfolding, instead of being bombarded with twists at every corner.

But all in all, the concept's quite interesting, and I enjoyed it :) <<less
