Omniscient Reader Viewpoint is good for old fans and new of the genre
As the title say, Omniscient Reader Viewpoint the novel and webtoon you read aka manhwa, is good for old fans of the litrpg genre and of characters knowing the story's own future with the use of fourth walls everywhere, and also a nice entry point for new fans as the system different from others don't use specific numbers.
In this genre, people in the past usually gave health, mana, and everything very specific numbers that you would have to track for a full experience in my opinion, but here there is none of it, you just gotta go with the mind of "big number better, any game like thing is just magic basically" and you will be fine through the story, they will even explain all terms old fans are used to, returnee, regressor and etc.
But enough of the genre basis.
Let's talk about the story itself, what makes it unique or just plainly fun to follow through?
The story is double layered as you shall see at the start, and prologue, this is a story within a story, we readers following another reader that loves the genre and world it builds upon, by that alone is enough to make me enjoy myself, be it with small funny moments of commentary at novel creation itself or usual reader experiences that makes you go.
"YEAH, YOU GET IT, IT IS LIKE THAT, SO FRUSTRATING, THESE ARE MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS, WHY THAT HAPPENS. IS THE WRITER STUPID?!"
If you want to scream that together with the protagonist (reader), then you will have fun with this story.
The characters are pretty fine, and some even have a twist to some cliches which made me smile, nodding to myself, "oh, so that's how you doing it", but for me, the world itself sucked me in, the thought that everything was being watched on as they survived disaster after disaster in the style of an old story where challenge seemed infinity. Can't say much without spoiling it, but was nice to see myths of Korea itself that wasn't much used to, and how it got integrated in such a modern story.
And if you are reading the webtoon (manhwa), then you will also be at treat, the art is amazing, and makes me be amazed every second a new chapter comes in, kneeling to the artists by the quality of it, so who knows maybe even the art alone is enough to get you interested in.
Of course, nothing is without flaws, the mc might seem a little too much like others you see around in the genre, but he got different enough through the story to make me enjoy him so at least give the little boy a chance.
Either way, this was my experience with it, the author knows well their genre and how to write about it, no wonder even another of their stories was drawn too.
