As the War of the Kings rages on, all of Seoul turns into a massive battlefield where historical rulers of Korea act through their chosen incarnations to regain the power and glory they once held. And at the center of it all is Dokja, who, as the sole reader of TWSA, knows that this conflict will only lead to an irreversible disaster for all. To prevent a bad ending, he must win the right to the Absolute Throne... even if it means facing Junghyeok in a one-on-one brawl!

First Explanation to the bad pacing i have been doing for this manhwa, I have been following a wrong list that made no sense but it was the only list i could find, and it's all because i am reading on webtoon not the physical Korean volumes out there, which are the only option for the Manhwa on goodreads since the English volumes are still starting out.
This review marks me ending 160 chapters, the following is the wrong list i have been following which is probably for the new English translation books of the webnovel in physical copies.
Volume/ Approximate current English novel chapters
Vol 1 01-26
Vol 2 27-42
Vol 3 43-73
Vol 4 73-83
Vol 5 84-120
Vol 6 121-136
Vol 7 137-160
Vol 8 161-188
The right list i found last week or something and it was on a question answered on goodreads on the first volume of the Manhwa
vol | webtoon episodes
1 | 0-9
2 | 10-18
3 | 19-28
4 | 29-38
5 | 39-48
6 | 49-57
7 | 58-66
8 | 67-75
9 | 76-84
So yeah pretty much this means i am past the current volume i am reviewing with over 2750 pages, if we count each volume as 250 pages which they aren't they reach 290 pages frequently.
I will fix that later as much as i can.

Now to the review or thoughts or rants i prepared for you on this volume.
To tell you the truth, life was harder for me then, Because that world was even more absurd.

Some people read LITRPG novels like everyone else, for entertainment, some action fantasy fun that gamers can vibe with.
Other People are actually more interested in the Isekai aspect, You don't like how your life is going, you are working a job that will take you nowhere, just going day by day, not feeling alive, looking at the big picture nothing makes sense, looking at the small picture which is just you, feels empty, So Isekai LITRPG, a dude who is pretty much like you (In this case Dokja Kim a reader who found only solace in his life through reading the same Big webnovel for 10 years, waiting for each chapter to come out, from student to an employee in a company still feeling as empty as ever) Voila world goes to shit, or he goes to a shitty world, and he finds himself feeling alive through the struggles that that world throw at him.
I agree the real world is more absurd, But... Isekai and apocalypse are not the solution.

I am so jealous of the writer whose work is being read by a reader like you.

I think this is totally me, and it's probably the most arrogant thing i will say in this review, But i read, i put in the time, i remember all the major things that happened or are happening (Not like the idiots who didn't notice that Dokja now has 8 lives so he is still pretty much immortal, without the downside of no killing when he was the king of no killing)
Even when i am mad at a novel, i give the best advice to the writer, Their Egos might not let them see anything positive in the review, But that's their issue not mine, Your very limited reader base is bound to vanish when they read something that's actually good, if you can never see past your own book.

When death is meaningless, so does your life.

The Impulse to give up when something goes wrong, no matter how small it is, These are the symptoms of a regressor's depression.

I called it, depression recognizes depression (which is a really weird thing i just came up with, Usually it's Greatness recognizes Greatness lol) But yeah i totally saw that Junghyeok was depressed, At the first sign of trouble he was thinking should i kill myself and regress?!
I mean he is lucky, he knows he is waking up again, But us the rest of the depressed masses of the world, We have a pretty good indication, that says nobody is going to live again, as much as possible, just try to live through that day, and the next, and the one after, the problem will go away, and you will remain standing.

Do not cling to the past, do not blame the future.
The past is already gone, the future is yet to come.

I am pretty darn sure the writer didn't come up with this, it looks like a wise saying of Buddha or some Haiku poetry.

Some of the action scenes weren't clear, and that's why i subtracted 1 star this time.

I will shelf this as LGBTQ because we have a non binary villain, they are being presented with the right pronouns, and it's always great to see the LGBTQ community included, even though i still think Junghyeok and Dokja are the best gay couple we might never have.

I also said before that we will have scenarios, that won't get written in the story, and the first was scenario 7 that we got this patch of 137 to 160.

That's it i am done
- But Tawfek where is the review!

Dokja is fighting to survive as the War of the Kings goes on. Historical rulers appears, fighting ensues; who will get power and glory at the end of this? Who will win and sit on the Absolute Throne?

I will forever be amazed at the artwork in this series, also the way the story moves places I wouldn’t even imagine; making my head turn and spin. Amazing. Wonderful. Great. Fantastic.

Happy reading!♥️

Review Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint bukan sekadar cerita — ini adalah pengalaman emosional dan intelektual. Bagi saya, cerita ini terasa seperti sebuah mahakarya (masterpiece) karena keberhasilannya menggabungkan aksi, misteri, hubungan antar karakter, dan tema eksistensial yang dalam. Yang membuat ORV begitu istimewa adalah fakta bahwa selain menghibur, ia juga membuat kita merasakan.

Kim Dokja sebagai tokoh utama adalah contoh karakter yang sangat kompleks: manusia biasa dengan jiwa yang penuh kesedihan, kepintaran yang dingin, tetapi juga kasih sayang yang tak terucap terhadap orang-orang di sekitarnya — terutama Yoo Joonghyuk. Saya menyukai bagaimana hubungan mereka dibangun: bukan sekadar kata-kata manis, tetapi melalui tindakan, pengorbanan, dan rasa saling percaya yang terbentuk dari penderitaan. Setiap interaksi antara Dokja dan Joonghyuk terasa berarti, bahkan ketika mereka bertengkar atau membisu.

Keindahan ORV juga terletak pada cara setiap karakter berkembang bersama waktu. Karakter-karakter pendukung seperti Han Sooyoung, Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah, bahkan para konstelasi, semuanya berubah, belajar, dan berjuang. Cerita ini menunjukkan bahwa setiap karakter memiliki makna, bukan hanya sebagai pelengkap narasi utama.

Yang paling menyentuh adalah tema “siapa pembaca, siapa penulis, dan siapa karakter.” ORV berhasil membuat kita mempertanyakan hubungan antara manusia dengan cerita — dan bagaimana seseorang bisa diselamatkan oleh sebuah kisah, seperti Dokja diselamatkan oleh TWSA, dan kemudian ia menyelamatkan orang lain melalui versinya sendiri dari cerita itu.

Dari sisi artstyle, jujur saya sangat menyukai artstyle periode pertengahan manhwa, dimana anatomi karakternya terlihat sangat presisi dan proporsional. Pengambilan sudut pandang panel-panelnya kreatif, penuh dinamis, dan membuat adegan terasa hidup. Color theory-nya juga terasa matang — palet warna yang digunakan mampu menyampaikan emosi adegan dengan kuat. Dan ya: pada periode itu Kim Dokja benar-benar terlihat ganteng banget. Bukan sekadar menarik, tapi punya aura misterius yang khas.

Sedangkan pada artstyle yang lebih baru sekarang, fokus pada pose kompleks dan sudut perspektif yang dramatis memang sedikit berkurang. Dokja terlihat lebih halus, hampir cantik, dengan garis wajah yang lebih lembut. Buat saya, terlepas dari perubahan style ini, Dokja tetap karakter pria paling tampan di seluruh seri — karena daya tariknya bukan hanya dari wajah, tapi dari kepribadian dan pengalamannya sebagai pembaca yang menjadi pemeran utama.

Pada akhirnya, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint adalah cerita yang memeluk pembacanya — terutama pembaca yang pernah merasa sendirian. Sama halnya termasuk saya, saya melihat Dokja sebagaimana Dokja melihat Yoo Joonghyuk sebagai karakter. Cerita ini tidak sekadar dibaca, tapi dihidupi. Dan bagi saya, tidak ada kata lain yang lebih tepat selain: ini adalah sebuah masterpiece

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 binge-read a ton of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, and yet I still have so much more to go. I’m not complaining about that! Though it is a bit intimidating. Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Vol. 6 comes out of the gate swinging, to put it mildly. The War of the Kings arc is pretty interesting, all things considered. I’m not sure it’s my favorite arc thus far, but boy does it hit hard! On the bright side, it also lets us get a better look at some of the other groups/factions that have started to form, which means we get to see more survivors.

This volume finds new ways to challenge everyone, especially our fearless leader. More importantly, this volume helps to highlight just how important Dokja’s insight is to the survival of this entire universe. No pressure, dude.

Manhwa
Dystopia

Tengo muchas teorías, además el mundo es tan vasto que no quiero que acabe la historia pero entre más avanzo porque quiero saber qué hace Dokja, menos capítulos me quedan. 🥺

Me ha gustado que por fin Dokja y Junghyeok anden conviviendo, también me encantan las bromas que hacen alrededor de ellos sobre su "romance" y mucho más el "triángulo amoroso" que armó Nirvana.

Ni que decir de las interacciones y comentarios que hacen las constelaciones, son la voz del pueblo jaja.


P.D. se me acaba de ocurrir una teoría, qué tal si la autora de TMSA es la mamá de Dokja o qué tal si el propio Dokja es el autor pero o sea un Dokja del futuro, lo averiguaré conforme siga leyendo.

I've stopped reading till I still like it. The main character is the ultimate Mary Sue, but you can seriously forgive that for a long time until it starts getting on your nerves, which is why I would consider all the previous volumes a 5 star. Over that you realise his ass really has no problems whatsoever, even if he's fun to read. They could've atleast given him some real obstacles, moral or not, to overcome.

As always, this series never disappoints! It has great characters, powerful storytelling, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. However, it is one of those series that requires 100% of your brainpower, so keep that in mind! All that being said, I’m so excited to read more! Also, Kim Dokja is ridiculously cool, and I am proud to be the same MBTI as him (INTJ), though that doesn’t really mean anything.

It was so satisfying seeing dokja hand that little demon's ass right back. It had to be done and no one else could have done it better. I really want to know who secret plotter is though... 🧙🏾‍♀️🧐 I have my suspect but they don't seem to match the bill perfectly.

Webtoon: Episodes 58-66

OMG OMG We really need a movie of this! THAT LAST CHAPTER (Episode 66) was perfect for that. K-drama producers look at THIS!! I don't care if it's 20 seasons for the next ten years, we NEED IT!!
