전지적 독자 시점 Part 1 01
문피아’ 누적 판매 1위, ‘네이버 시리즈’ 누적 다운로드 1억, 웹툰화 즉시 ‘네이버 웹툰’ 1위 등극, ‘리얼라이즈픽처스’와 영화화 계약… 2018년 연재 시작 이후 지금까지, 행보 하나하나가 곧 한국 웹소설의 역사가 되고 있는 《전지적 독자 시점》.
역사부터 신화까지 인류가 지금껏 쌓아온 ‘이야기’를 자유롭게 아우르는 스토리텔링, 저마다 다채로운 색채로 매력을 뽐내는 등장인물, 시공간을 넘어 우주까지 확장되는 압도적 세계관으로 이미 수많은 ‘앓이’를 양산해온 이 전설적 작품이 연재 종료 2년여 만에 드디어 단행본으로 서점을 찾는다.
싱숑 작가는 원고지 약 25000매, 글자 수로는 약 300만 자에 달하는 장대한 서사를 전량 개고해 작품을 다시금 세공해냈다. 이번 ‘PART 1(전 8권)’은 전체 이야기 중 약 1/3에 해당하는 분량으로, ‘전독시’의 세계를 종이를 통해 오롯이 느낄 수 있도록 손에 잡기 쉬운 판형과 두께로 제작된 ‘페이퍼백 에디션’이다.
“싱숑의 《전지적 독자 시점》과, 독자분들의 《전지적 독자 시점》은 어쩌면 같은 이야기가 아닐 것입니다. 각자 이 이야기의 몇 조각쯤을 품고 어렴풋이 상대가 가진 조각의 생김새를 짐작해볼 뿐이겠지요. 아무래도 좋습니다.”
_‘작가의 말’에서

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.

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 :)

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 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.

Я никогда не читала ничего из подобного жанра, и эта книга интерес к нему так и не вызвала. Первая часть довольно маленькая, можно сказать, что это просто вступление с парочкой взаимодействий. Но вот разговоров ради разговоров чересчур много.
Мне напомнило сенен аниме и «Игру в кальмара», если бы там постоянно все болтали друг с другом, отвлекаясь иногда на десять минут экшена и перечисления вслух оружия и способностей из лора. В виде текста это выглядит скучно. Ну и учитывая, что новелла, куда попали главные герои, изначально показалась мне неинтересной, дальнейшее было на том же уровне. Видимо, не мое.
Единственный плюс — это шикарная озвучка на русском и аудиоэффекты.

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!
