[This Reader is emotionally compromised.]
September 29, 2021
"I'm scared I can't read it anymore bec I was afraid it will end too soon" - Shin Yoosung.
That was how I felt as I kept reading.
I don't know where to even begin. Nor am i able to comprehend the exact depth of characters and such complex world building. However, what I understand is how I feel when I was reading it. This story left me speechless and gasping with endless possibilities and theories. At times, it was like multiple mathematical equations forged into one single question.
I love this story as much as it confuses me, and as much as it breaks me. I love how every single human and creatures plays a part in paving the plot. Truly, a story of no wasted characters. I love the foreshadow author casts, the details and twist in every arc, fables and tales.
It was a story of diverse characters- reader, writer, soldier, angles, devils, friends, villains, child, companions and parents. And also diverse theme, adventure, psychology, friendship, parenthood, regression, time paradox etc. I love every single emotion this story made me go through. At times, their journey made me laugh, cried or smiled and giggled. (The epilog had me sobsss). It was an arduous journey, but for sure, a meaningful one.
Author played w my heart a lil bit too much tho. I don't even want a refund for this broken heart!! and those darn orv sad tiktok vids are making it impossible for me to move on!!!

4.5/5 ⭐
The novel meant everything to me. Despite me whining about how slow I read and how the pace dragged in the middle, the novel stands to be one of the most unique and interesting premise, concepts and characters involved. I have never read anything like ORV. It stands also to be one of my longest read. I remember starting in the late summer of '23. How naive and unaware I was of irreparable damage it'll do to my mind and reading. Kim Dokja and his love for his novel is unmatched. 10/10 will recommend to anyone who wants to try it !

I've been crying for the past half an hour and when my friend asked me what happened I went to record a 3 and a half minute long voice message to tell her about the ending. I'm unwell, and I'm not okay with things worse than dying. I thought what could possibly make me cry by this point, I've been doing great, but as it turns out there are many, many things one character can do :). I've no idea if I'm emotionally prepared to start the epilogue, and I also don't know if I'll even start it today, but what I do know is that my eyes will be red for the rest of the day.

………Emotional damage…

06/29/22:
there's too much to say that i wouldn't be able to fully express it unless i divide it by topic so here it goes.
1. time paradox. i'm not sure if this is the right term for the unusual time travel here in orv which follows no rules at all and beginning, end, cause, and the result had no significant order—it was called time paradox. if a person went back to the past and decided to change it, they would find themselves facing the same scenes in the present which means that changing the past was already accounted for. all are meant to happen, even if one knows the future or the past, the story is already written so their just treading the same path all over again. it's feels as if like a circling through time yet i think it is also cruel because you didn't really change anything, you just did what you're supposed to do.
2. open-ended ending. i have this love-hate relationship with open-ended stories because while it stimulates my imagination, it also did not serve already in the platter, for simple consumption, for easy digestion, so that i could move on to another story. thus, i would be stuck for quite a while deluding myself to every possible endings that i could come up with.
3. writer, reader, protagonist. one would not exist without the other, one desperately live through the other.

(i finished this story, not my academic papers. orv > acads)

Let me preface this by saying: I cried reading this one too.
I think this was the shortest volume out of all 5 but it was also one that I didn't want to finish reading too fast. Kim Dokja's Company and I, we were hurtling towards the ending and like them, I didn't want this story to end. I wanted it to go on, I wanted everyone to live. However, sacrifices had to be made.
Bihyung, the dokkaebi that had stuck with KDJ's Co. till the end was the first one to sacrifice himself so that they could reach the conclusion. He saved them and transported them to the Arc, where the last battle happened. KDJ's Co. and their constellation friends fought a gruelling battle, one that almost wiped them out entirely. And it was with the help of their constellation friends -- Uriel, Abyssal Black Flame Dragon, Sun Wukong, the constellations of the Korean Peninsula, even Surya -- that they managed to reach The Final Wall. With the desperation that only living beings felt, they finally reached past the wall to see what lied behind it.
And oh, boy. It was something I never even thought about.
The Oldest Dream -- the entity that made Yoo Joonghyuk regress over and over again, all the way until he reached 1864 regressions, and YJH's sponsor, was in fact a young KDJ. A boy who read in order to survive. A boy who imagined a whole different world so he could escape the hell that was real life. A boy who pretended to be YJH just to feel a semblance of strength. The revelation was painful because I could relate to him. I used reading as a tool to escape myself, I found solace in the stories I read.
The following lines aptly sum up what happened after that:
When was the dream supposed to end? That would be…
⸢…When the dream was no longer a dream.⸥
Only then did everything start making sense.
And finally, KDJ split himself into two, his avatar having 49% of his memories. And with the rest of KDJ'S Co., that avatar would enter a new world and live happily, deceiving his companions. But he had no choice: he had to become the Oldest Dream in order for the world to keep moving forward.
Honestly, this was a really bittersweet ending but I still have the Epilogue to read so maybe I'll be able to delude myself for a little while longer.

AHAHAHA JUST LET ME CRY IN PEACE. LIKE SUPPOSEDLY THAT'S A HAPPY ENDING BUT I'VE FELT SO MUCH EMOTIONAL DAMAGE TO ACTUALLY APPRECIATE IT. LIKE THIS MOTHERFUCKER CAN'T FORGIVE HIMSELF AS A CHILD, AND HE REMAINS SELF-SACRIFICIAL TO THE END, AND YET AFTER REACHING HIS END HE STILL CANNOT ACCEPT IT.
Ok but it's really funny how quickly I finished this book compared to the other one. I love all the characters in this, and seeing them all break down in the last few chapters really hurt. Everything in the story, from the beginning makes so much sense, and the parallels of their growth, and of all the secrets that have been unsolvable, has all come together. Next is the epilogue and I am not ready to read that and cry.

[Your ■■ is 'Eternity'.]
This is the greatest web novel of all time, and you cannot convince me otherwise. I will fight you. And die on this hill. And whatever it is people say when they won't budge even a little bit.
This volume is the shortest one yet (only the Epilogue is going to be shorter), so it flew by in just a few days. Would've been wicker if I wasn't reading a million books at the same time. But, boy, oh boy, did I feel everything here: sadness, worry, love, hope, happiness, melancholy...
It's hard to talk about the last leg of the story without spoilers. Nearly impossible.
All I'll say is this: my favorite novels tend to be 49% broken glass and 51% happy endings. Fingers crossed.

From the beginning till the end, I was always the one being saved.
So, this was my small bit of atonement for their sakes.
⸢Y ou wi ll re gret th is you wo n t ev er me et th em ag ain⸥
I smiled without a sound.
“But, I can still see them, right?”
Just like how it used to be, a really long time ago.
And so, this story would continue on in that manner.
“….That’s enough for me right now.”
i've never cried so hard at reading the end of a story as i did right now. no one wants to see someone who has suffered throughout their lives 'passed' just before they managed to reach their happy ending. the only thing that gives me consolation right now is the fact that the epilogue existed.
11/10 would not recommend to anyone.

Story of my life or something. Story of all stories. And also time. What if there was a story that said I am looking at you. And you are looking at me. But I am LOOKING at YOU. Where you are SITTING. And you are reading me but you are not free from me. Story that storifies you. Story that realifies itself. What if you were a reader and an author and a character and a god and most importantly a person. What if you were omniscient and knew nothing. What if you were omnipotent and powerless. Meta-fiction book of all time forever. What if it was all about love

Bruh I had such a strong urge to throw my phone across the room when I read the last line 😭😭😭😭 Anyway this was such a ride. I know i still have the epilogue to read but Bruh it was so good. I will admit the plot does get a little spotty at the end but I don’t care. I love myself a good power fantasy and this was such an amazing mix between a power fantasy and a classic shonen anime.

If this was the true and final ending of the book, I would have rated this lower. But I'm hoping that the epilogue answers a question I still have and is also written in such a way that I can accept something that happened in the end. There were parts of the ending that felt satisfying, but there were parts that left me unsatisfied. I do want to say this. That ending really explained some of the things that were starting to annoy me about the lead up to the ending.

Hahahahahahhaha this book has been destroying my heart non-stop. I knew spoilers, but like, I genuinely feel like it's hard to spoil this novel. You can have the pieces but you need to read it in order to know how they all fit together. Or that's that's happened with me, at least.
The ending killed me. Like read hard. KDJ realizing who OD was, and his desperation to kill OD, like, he seriously tried to kill himself. It was so so so painful, KDJ all that trauma you went through (he needs therapy so badly).
Also I'd been looking forward to the ending for a while, ever since KDJ said that his wish was to live in a big house with his friends. And maybe because that's my wish too, but I really wanted to be able to see that happen so SO badly, I really wanted to see some domestic fluff, except that the ending (before epilogue) ENDS WITH 49% OF HIM WITH THAT HAPPY ENDING. AND 51% OF HIM BECOMING OD.
I was so so SO hurt by that, but I can also see why he does it, like, he sacrifices himself for other people, and he knows that it hurts them, but it's the way that he knows how how show love, by giving them a happy ending, even if it'd without him. GIVE KDJ THERAPY

Will I ever get a glimpse of that mysterious and fugitive feeling called happiness?
(I guess not, at least after reading the last few chapters.)
10/10, wouldn't recommend to anyone/hj
on a more serious note:
[The Constellation 'rin☆' is currently unable to think clearly due to having received severe emotional damage.]

..I cried.
after scrolling and scrolling through countless lines and inevitably reaching the last sentence, I realized that I no longer needed to scroll as I reached the 100% mark of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
and cried.
this story BROKE me.
Kim Dokja once said along the lines, "If every creature was born because some had read their stories, do you think there is someone out there is reading my stories, too?"
how funny it felt to read that line.
it felt like I was the reason why Dokja's story was continuing.
Because of me, the reader.
One thing ORV told me was to re-read stories, and I want to try that.
I want to experience this journey again.
I want to meet Kim Dokja again and read his story, alongside Yoo Jonghyuk and Han Sooyoung.
I don't want this story to end just yet.
