전지적 독자 시점 [Jeonjijeog Dogja Sijeom] (Novel) (20 Volumes) #1
Точка зрения Всеведущего Читателя. Том 01
Сеул, наши дни. Обычная вечерняя поездка в метро оборачивается немыслимой катастрофой. Пассажиры сталкиваются с ситуацией, в которой у них нет выбора — лишь подчиняться, чтобы выжить. Наступает полный хаос, и только ничем не примечательный офисный работник Ким Докча сохраняет спокойствие. Он точно знает, что будет дальше. Вагон метро, реакция пассажиров, даже странное существо, которое появилось, чтобы наблюдать за развитием садистского сценария, — все это уже происходило в его любимой веб-новелле, настолько непопулярной, что Ким Докча стал ее единственным читателем. И теперь, единственным из всех зная, куда движется сюжет, он должен использовать эти знания, чтобы пережить надвигающийся апокалипсис!

Le tenía ganas a esta novela. En muchos sitios andaba viendo que la gente la considera una obra de arte, y yo no podía quedarme atrás sin presenciarla.
Siendo honesta, me ha llamado mucho la atención la trama. Me recuerda mucho a series como los juegos del hambre o squid games. Partiendo de la base de que son “juegos” en los que se juegan la vida y hay unos seres (las constelaciones) que los ven y les pueden sponsorear.
He de decir que no estoy acostumbrada a leer nombres en coreano, por lo que da gracias a que me acuerdo del nombre del protagonista y de Sangah. Pero me estoy leyendo el manhwa a la par para solucionar este pequeño inconveniente.
Sinceramente, ando motivada y con ganas de seguir leyendo. No estoy para nada acostumbrada a leer algo así, pero igualmente se me ha hecho relativamente corto este volumen.
Y me encanta como en la novela se tocan muchos temas sociales, como el buscar a un líder en situaciones de peligro para que “te salve”. Me encanta ver la naturaleza del ser humano en momentos de supervivencia, y creo que en esta novela se representa perfectamente.
Además honestamente el protagonista me parece guapísimo chicas yo ando enamoradisima. Me encantaría saber más detalles de él y de su vida en general.

This covers episodes 0-24 in the manhwa incase you were wondering :)
Came from reading the manhwa first, and loved the novel with all the additional details. It did not disappoint.

I'm reading this during my commitment home-school (as a student I'm often too busy to have the time to read it during the day if not on the weekends), and honestly, it has become more than a simple habit. In the morning, I have more will to take the bus in order to just sit down before school and keep reading it than going to school by itself as a reason. This matter it's funny by itself just for the reference lol
After seeing all the edits on the internet, I then decided to avoid myself all the spoilers and simply start reading it, and already from the start it picked my curiosity, but more than that, I felt connected to the feelings of the protagonist: how he felt just a reader, just an average something in life; I'm not quite like him in my life, I have friends, attentions and many more things to be thankful for, but what I guess I emphatised with was the feeling of being average even when he's actually not. Okay, he already read Ways of Survival and it was his company and strenght for his last 10 years or so, yet we cannot deny his actions need recognitions.
The story by itself makes you question about the reality we live in, some sentences feel too much like home to the point it's worrying, and it also makes you question about humans themselves, how we fall so easily into hypocrisy, so easily we stop thinking about each other, for survival, and for power.
The characters have lots of depth, you question yourself often while reading about them.
I could feel the rage of Jung Heewon (in all honestly she's one of my favourites), and with the characters the authors seems to have depicted problems and complexes that can happen in each individual because of the circumstances. It makes you think how much of a mosaic we are, shaped by our job, by our society, by our culture, and how fragile our will actually is.
I've often imagined the description far too vividly, feeling emotions deeply while reading.
As for the worldbuilding: awesome, well thought and detailed.
I loved how stats, skills, attributes etcetera, work like a game and it's so well structured into the story!
I could imagine everything much like I was watching a film while reading!
It feels like us, readers, are constellations from the star stream system's channel "reality" looking at a parallel one that makes us question our own actions and thoughts through a story.
Speaking about constellations, the one I'm most curious about is Secretive Plotter, it's the only one with a dubious identity but makes the most curious statements about Dokja's actions.
While all the other's identities are known, and every statement of their has a reason you could connect them with, not knowing the identity of Secretive Plotter make their statements stir more curiosity.
I'm reading this through the fan-made traslation found on Reddit, after I'll finish it I plan on reading the official one :)

I'm not going to go into a synopsis here because I've reviewed the manwha and you can find that there. Plus, I feel like while getting new readers to this amazing series would be awesome, but, as someone who has read it I feel like targeting those who have read the manwha as well is important because this is somehow actually better than the manwha. Honestly, I can't believe I'm saying it myself but here we are. It just hits differently without the illustrations. The scene at the beginning in the subway especially, is far more gruesome in this. Dojka comes across as more complex as well. We know he's got some loose morals but seems to be a good person underneath it all in the manwha, but this fully threw that into question. He is a devious bastard and when he says that he is being genuinely selfish it's wholly believable. Everything is just ratcheted up a notch, the tension, the desperation, the violence, all of it.
If you read the manwha you'll want to read this!
As always thanks to NetGalley and Yen Press for the eArc!

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (전지적 독자 시점) Part 1 Volume 1 follows Kim Dokja (金獨子), a regular 28-year-old officer worker on the verge of being let off. For the past thirteen years, Kim Dokja has been reading a webnovel so long and so boring that he is its only remaining reader called Three Ways to Survive an Apocalypse or TWSA for short. But on the day the final chapter is released, Kim Dokja gets a weird sense of déjà vu, as he realises that the world has became the novel he's been reading for the past decade.
ORV is my favorite book series of all time, so it pains me so much to list Volume 1 so so low. But, I just can't rate this one any higher. Compared to the rest of the series, its a definite cut below. I'd say it isn't until the end of Volume 2 or about Chapter 37 () for it to get good. I mean singNsong, the authors, said it themselves, that is where the story truly begins. Which means you need to read roughly 62,000 words before it gets good... I'm so sorry.
So for this Volume, I will give it a 3/5. Not bad, not good, just middle of the road. Decent. And that's only because it needs to set up a lot of information before the story can finally begin. If the story had just began without all the setup in Volume 1, the story wouldn't be anywhere near as good.

After catching up with the entirety of the webtoon in just 3 days, I decided to read the novel. It's a bit annoying in some ways, but I'm definitely enjoying it! Everything about this story is INCREDIBLE I'd recommend it to everyone. It's simply amazing. IT HAS THE MOST INTERESTING, ORIGINAL AND GENIUS PLOT EVER. Absolutely worth it.

I love. I LOVE!!!! this series. I read the first 70 chapters of the webtoon in a few days and I heard the novel’s better so despite my total inability to read without audiobooks, I had to read the novel alongside the webtoon.
AND THE COVER ART IS JUST SO GORGEOUS.
We love Dokja, we love Gilyoung and we LOVE Joonghyuk!
