Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse is Dokja’s favorite novel. Or it was...until it became reality. He barely survived the chaotic first moments of the new world thanks to his knowledge of the story, but the cruel Scenarios give him no time for rest. Isolated from his group and surrounded by horrific creatures, things look grim for Dokja...until an extraordinary presence approaches. It’s time for the only reader of TWSA to meet its protagonist-the Regressor Junghyeok Yu!

I too, Kept reading so that i could survive.

Dokja's story is all our stories really as readers.
He is a reader who is living the 3149 chapters novel he has been reading for 10 years of his life.
He went through so much while reading that novel from a student to a working man, and through all that life threw at him at that time.
The time we put into reading is significant, you could even say some of us are in error with the time we allocate to reading, when we could put it to much better use of securing a better future (I am totally guilty of this sin)
While Dokja used his knowledge in his favorite novel, when the world became that novel.
That's not going to happen to any of us, the world isn't morphing except to 1984 by Orwell if you are in some countries *Cough China Cough.
We are not getting isekaied to a novel world either, except in our dreams, specially me since i am incapable of sleeping without reading!

I actually have another rant about the ethical dilemma of Dokja using what he know about these characters to get close to them, i will save it to another review.
This issue we see way more potential than before, and we actually see something else!
This is not an Alien invasion or takeover if you will by any stretch of the imagination, Constellations are not gods, they are not aliens, They are stories, and they are real people, they are our stories, our angels, our gods, our fantasy heroes, our historical heroes.
This is not a takeover by the constellations, specially if they could become bankrupt like what happened to Defense Master this issue.
We are not only delving into the lives of these characters, we are also delving into the minds and sometimes lives of the constellations, and learning a fantasy tale here, or a historical event there, this will be really fun.

The art! Oh boy, this is one of those very very rare instances of an action manga/manwha being so clear, and great to follow and look at, in 42 chapters, there has not been a single action sequence that wasn't clear, you don't even need to figure anything out, it's such a beauty to behold, which again brings us to anime, why the fuck would they animate Solo leveling who had the most horrendous action sequences that are not easy to follow, and ignore this one that will make the lives of the animators much easier?!

Again i am never looking for something to hate on in the books i read i want to enjoy, sometimes it's impossible to not be annoyed about so many aspects, In this Manwha so far i have no reason to complain, great job by everyone, can't wait to read everything that came out for this!

Volume 2: Episodes 10–19

I loved the scene with Yoo Joonghyuk (or however they call him in this translation), it was so intense and dramatic, i really want to see more joongdok interactions.

For now, the pacing is very nice and the plot is cool, makes me want to read the novel but am i ready to get into a 4000 pages long novel..... we'll see

this is so good im starting to think i should continue with the novel...

[charly · Rating 5 out of 5]

The main protagonist of the book is kinda hot….. but also kind of a jerk. LIKE WDYM HE JUST THREW DOKJA INTO A SERPENTS MOUTH. Luckily Dokja survived 😝 and he was also smart enough to make a deal with the imp not having a star backer and all. Very intriguing. I hated those people in the train station. Such bad people even during an apocalypse😔

enjoyed this even more than the previous one!

[Esmeralda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ya me preocupó un poco que haya más lectores, van a terminar saboteando todo.

Por cierto, muy buena la confrontación entre Dokja y JunghYeok Yu. Ahora nada más espero que despierte y ya hable bien con Dokja porque no han tenido nada de comunicación y hace falta mucha.

[benita · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the continuation of Omniscient Readers Viewpoint vol 2, Dokja and the rest is faced with yet another challenge they have to figure out what to do. An unexpected twist throws Dokja into a difficult task: how will he survive and how does reading TWSA benefit him and in return save him?
As always, the artwork is splendid and the plot makes me want to read more asap! I’m so happy my boyfriend recommended this series to me, and I can’t wait to read what happens next! The unexpected twists and turns is making my head spin!
Happy reading!♥️

Paperback edition

Compared to the first book, the cover is dull. It looks part transcendent, part cut and paste. Nice to see the covers are uniform though. Continues off from the last book with even numbers only passing the quest. Finally, the regressor gets introduced. He came across as a dark priest who was done with everyone's shit. I laughed when he reacted just as Dokja predicted. Love the mind reading. Shame their interaction was so short. Didn't like the subway characters, but looking forward to the reaction on the so called leader. Book 3 incoming.

"I used to be a fan of yours [...] I liked you...hated you...resented you...and rooted for you."

Re-reading all the earlier chapters on the manhwa makes me want to do a re-read of the novel TvT. Bridge scene paralleling with the recent chapter in the manhwa before demon king arc is also just amazing.

This series gets so complicated with all of the stats and such, but boy is it entertaining!

[☀️Alexander☀️ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Estuvo bien, pero me gustó más el segundo. Admiro mucho la evolución de Dokja y lo inteligente que se ha vuelto.

[v. · Rating 5 out of 5]

smart guy, dokja huh.

the so called mc pisses me off for now, ik he's a "good" guy but still.

that kid is so adorable, i swear if any harm happens to him i won't be okay. 🙏🏻

(why am i writing my review in bullet points dawg?)

I’m a ride he wouldn’t survive

[˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚HIATUS˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like so long as the story happens underground in these godforsaken tunnels, I somehow grow a sense of claustrophobia that I did not have in the past.

Please save me from this constant grey setting. I am going insane.

That being said, it's still a fun read.

[Stacie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need to catch up in the book because I feel like I’m missing a lot of important details. Similar to Solo Leveling which I loved but I read the books first so the manhwa made more sense.

[kaylina · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 / 5: “May the blessings of the stories be with you.”

cant even begin to describe to you how surreal it felt to finally read kim dokja & yu junghyeok’s first meeting :’)

fun fact: not only have i known about this web novel for quite a while, but ive also been familiar with the popularity of a certain fanon (?) ship, so……

that + the scenes between kim dokja & the goblin, bihyeong, were my most favorite parts of this volume. the former carried a lot of tension as reader and OP protagonist meet each other for the first time; while the latter made me laugh in how much kim dokja caught bihyeong off-guard with his supreme knowledge of the story. the way he managed to find a lot of loop holes to carry him through made him a much more compelling character. it feels so interesting knowing that it’s like we’re the constellations ourselves, overseeing the actions of these incarnations and determining how or if we wish them to survive.

the fourth wall skill kim dokja activated may make it seem as if this game would be too easy, but as seen in his confrontation with yu junghyeok, he’ll have to be very careful in wading through this narrative!! it’s all so exciting!!

phenomenal artwork, of course, and i cannot wait to see more of it!!

content warnings:

moderate: violence, and death

Okay, I admit… I had a good time reading this volume. The start was still a little iffy, with the introduction of an edgy overpowered guy I didn’t have a whole lotta interest in. But everything from the scene where Dokja haggles / argues with the Goblin and onwards was quite fun. Dokja also felt less like an edgy loner this time, too; which made for a better read.

This series kinda feels like Solo Leveling mixed with Alice in Borderland so far, although I’m hoping that going forward its quality is more consistent with the latter rather than the former (since SL falls off pretty hard after a certain point imo). I’m glad I stuck with this until the second volume, though - I gotta pick up a couple more volumes soon for sure.

[Luz Rivas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Chapters 31 to 50.

I understand all those who left "ways to survive" in chapter 50 🤣🤣😂🤣 I almost did it in chapter 37. Post-apocalypse stories are not very much to my taste, but these last chapters are more interesting

I'll continue with the next volume to see if it continues to improve
