Hello everyone, good viewing🐼
how did you post this 12 Hours ago
Gigguk if you want a manuhwa which tugs on the heart and has one of the best stories to come out of South Korea it’s The Boxer I promise you it’s very good and something you would enjoy. Also great video keep up the good work
Yo read LOTM, it's up there with orv as one of the candidates for best webnovel, with one of the best and unique power systems, I would say even better than orv
To tempt others into reading, here's an oversimplified ver:
The power system is based on the arcana cards(e.g. The Fool, The hanged giant, Justice), every card is called a pathway, basically a pathway to godhood, and there are 9 sequences, with 9 being the lowest :) . So, to enter the pathways, you need to make a potion of the 9th level or path, and ypu get the ability of the name of your potion(for example, [Spectator], you can get the ability to be able to observe details not normally seen, enhanced vision, enhanced mental attributes), you can just wait for your body to digest the potion slowly, oorrr, you can treat the name of your potion as the trait that you need to act as, so for spectator, you'll need to act like one, buutt, spectator isn't the only potion, for example, [Prisoner], with the next sequence being [Lunatic], so everything is very diverse
And as you might expect for a novel to have that kind of unique power system, the world building is also very good, with many, many unique places either mentioned, or explored by the tarot club
Highly recommend the Chinese WebNovel Reverend insanity. It’s isekai, however that’s not its main point. It’s an incredible read but its a little dark. Best Eastern story i have ever experienced.
Omniscient reader is actually so peak it's insane
the novel Is even more peak, I like both tho
yessirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
this is like the one piece of manhwa for me
Problem is after reading peak, almost every single manhwa now feels like reading straight trash (i cant stop reading trash)
@@Cal6942 i think this title belongs to TOwer of god, considering the scale of the story and the world building
Some one asks me how's ORV ?
I reply : It's 49% Mind Blowing and 51% absolute cinema
NO

Add the protagonist and suddenly 😂
Not to mention that the novel was literally awarded to by the south korean gov cuz it was just that goated. For months and months, i stayed up past midnight, reading this masterpiece, something that if you were to tell me before, i would have never believed you. I will never forget the night one summer and two or so years ago where i stayed up until 2am, reading the 551st chapter while simultaneously balling my eyes out because of, yes, how much of an amazing story it is, but also because i dreaded it being over. But then again, a story is never truly done being told if there are still people reading it. I dream of the day that ORV gets the recognition it deserves because it is truly a revolutionary work of fiction (coming from a very smug novel reader), yet I'm also afraid of what our niche fandom might evolve into when that time inevitably comes.
really ORV got a award and not Lord of Mysteries? that is weird to me
@@sarcasticsage984LOTM is chinese and so the author got many awards in china for it
the ending is so sad but also not because it's just completely open ended which fits the theme of the story
@@sarcasticsage984 kinda racist, but understandable as you are a typical westerner who cant even distinguish between korean and chinese or do a lil bit of research
The author's still releasing chapters. It's at 768th chapter now.
Fun fact, Dokja rarely actually fights. He is more like a trickster or mastermind. Most of his abilities arent even fight-oriented. He likes to yapp his way out, make deals, etc.
Bro just spams ways of the wind and concentrates on creating a wild and great story
he's truly closer to being a conman than anything and it's great
the etc is to sacrifice himself
@@emqntrliterally sacrificed himself in the latest chapter if you read without paying on webtoon like me lol

FUN FACT the authors, Sing N Song, are actually a husband and wife duo! they co-write the novel together and some of their author's notes revealing their writing process is really cute and also hilarious.
Yes! It exactly explains why everything was just so thought of from the start till end. Sing N Song are still my fav webnovel authors. I'm sorry Cuttlefish!

“The story changed every time I read it. The story was over but it wasn’t over. The story wouldn’t end unless the reader gave up on the story” - Kim Dokja
Lmao Han Sooyoung did NOT say that.
Lee Sookyung/dokja's mom said that lol
Edit: wait I think it was dokja
Kim dokja said that not han sooyoung and kim dokja learn that from his mom
I'm pretty sure she says this in the light novel like near the end
@@jamiemcgee6104 i dont remember she said that.
ORV is so hard to explain. On paper it looks like just another cliche power fantasy, but you get to the end of the webnovel and it changes the way you look at fiction and interpersonal relationships. It gets straight up philosophical. It's legit a masterpiece and makes Solo Leveling look like kindergarten. Also you will cry. (49/51 iykyk)
oh come on you didn’t need to pull the 49/51
Took me a minute to get it but pulling the 49/51 is vile man
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT PERCENTAGES OR THE EPILOGUE OKAY. also yeah I'd honestly say it's strongest genre is psychological over everything else, because it fucks you up man and you don't even realise until everything clicks and your own fourth wall fucking shakes. I've never had a book prove the fourth wall is not only glass, but actively bang on it to show "hey I'm here and I know your there too" without using comedy as a crutch
This novel has ruined those numbers for me forever

Lol, they just announced that Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint getting anime adaptation, garnt will be happy
I just saw the announcement and im excited.
Fun fact Dokja isn't actually ugly in the lightnovel too. He's called the ugliest king because 4th Wall keeps people from remembering his face bc he isn't a character. Characters express that they don't understand why he's called ugly when they see him multiple times, he's jus average compared to Yoo Junghyuk
True but his 4th wall doesnt block his face bc of him being an outsider.
I wont spoil much bc theres a lot of manhwa readers here.
it's just another level of meta-commentary people overlook. it refers to the 80-20 principle in dating.
@@AndrewDokja i haven read the novel in a while but isnt his face blurred instead of being forgotten?
@@AndrewDokja I’ve read the novel too. Of course there are multiple reasons why his face is hidden and he is called ugly. But 4th wall is essentially there to stop him from becoming a character and among many things it does, hiding his face until he reaches a certain point does help keeping him from becoming a character.
Also considering the version of the story we’re reading the author may be calling him ugly out of spite.
Not having read any of it and just from the video, it felt also obvious to me there was a reason why he was said to be ugly. It's also a very common cliché that some characters are seen as ugly when they're almost literally drawn the same as everyone else.

As a proud novel reader, orv is a story u just cant give a "summary" to, its about the characters, the devlpoppement, the writing, the plot twists and so on, its a story made for one and only reader
"This is a Story meant for one Reader"
Omniscient Reader is such a sleeper hit, I physically cannot wait for it to be animated
Not too sure about a sleeper hit. I think it is like the goat once you get past the "normie stuff". Very weird that I feel like manhwa and webtoons have gotten to a point where there is mainstream stuff.
I think live action is in production
9:30 “This is a story about stories. Not just the power of a story but the relationship between an author and the reader and the story being told”
So this is an equal or better Korean version of Re:Creators?
@@ryana5435pretty much, yea
The story revolves around Kim Dokja, a fan of a novel/story that he found online and is the only one reading it. One day, the story became real and that's where the story begins
Mini spoiler tho, MC is actually really OP by the end of the series, many times more than Sung Jinwoo from SL. I know, nerd stuff
and then the anime will take 10 years to actually get to the REALLY good stuff 😭
Incredibly smug novel reader here, i promise you that as long as the Manhwa continues to stay true to the novel, it will be an experience you will never forget. I still tear up thinking about the epilogue.
i got a bit bored/confused by the manwha eventually but i loved the first 100 chapters or so
@@Solarstormflare you got confused but the manhwa?
You should see the novel
@@Solarstormflare The best parts of the series are not yet adapted to the manhwa
How far behind the novel is the manwha?
The manhwa, as of its chapter 206, has adapted the first 179/551 novel chapters
The Webtoon barely scratches the surface of ORV, barely. It is so much more.
In my opinion, ORV is a manhwa which is second to none. It is simply the best. The story, the art, the characters, It is all magnificent. Moreover, the manhwa, to my knowledge, has never take a hiatus EVER. Just one chapter of this manhwa is enough to make someone's entire week. When i heard about the rumours about it getting its own anime. My first thought is about how good of an anime it would be. Might even be one of the best anime to ever been produced.I cannot praise this manhwa enough. Especially with my uncreative brain. Im glad I was introduced to the world of manhwa through Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.Since then, I have read 50+ other manhwas. It is truly one of the best things i have ever read.
one of the best manhaw, not even close man. ORV is very good maybe my favorite manhwa, but i dont think it would be the best anime ever
@@sarcasticsage984 different people, different brain. Different brain, different preferences
I remember I saw someone a couple of years ago describe ORV as “A story that defines what a reader is.”
And honestly, yeah
that's such a brilliant way to describe orv wth
I have read orv about three years ago but didn't finish epilouge because i didn't like idk why. It was my first korean novel and still in my top 3 novel of all time.
@@fishybagel its literally in the title of the manhwa, omniscient *reader viewpoint*
@@anapple6912 chill lmao i was just complimenting the phrasing
its even funnier knowing that us as the readers are actual characters built into the world as well reading Dokjas story
ORV is one of those stories that can only be experienced fully in a writen medium. Some descriptions would lose their weight if they get visualized. For exemple, without given a spoiler.
description of a certein monster:
"...It didn't matter how many books they read or how many words they knew. 'It can't be described'. All human words were helpless in front of the coming existence. The entire sky was covered by the darkness of this being....He didn't know where to cut because he couldn't see where it started or ended."
this is my favorite description of a certain situation. It was the way of the author saying " yes, it's a plothole, deal with it":
"It's the same thing as the 'square circle' or the 'triangle with the total of their interior angles coming at 720 degrees."
"But, something like that can't exist, right?"
"It's more correct to say that you can't even imagine it, actually. However, as texts, as pharagraphs, they certainly can exist."
This
Damnn
The author taking notes from Lovecraft. Although, that would actually make sense considering he wrote a lot of mythological creatures and a lot of stuff from this story is taken from mythology.
Which arc was this from? I forgot because i read it long ago
@@prashantgoswami2 the first one is from 73rd Demon Realm arc. I don't remember the second one but it should be from the last quarter of the story. Chapter name was Square Circle.
Omniscient reader has been one of my fav stories not just in manhwa for a while, i’m glad you’re talking abt it :)
ORV is honestly one of the best manhwas and LNs ive ever read, the relationships and conflicts and the world itself is so vast and yet it revolves around one person.
Seriously its such a delight to read despite me crying on several instances.
9:28 “The relationship between the author, the reader, and the story” is so real and importwnt especially near the ending chapters of the webnovel

"As the story progresses, the MC realizes that Fiction, cannot help him overcome his Real-Life Problems." Probably the most meta thought I've ever read.
I mean yes and no, cause in a way "fiction" was vital in helping him overcome real life problems, but it could also cause him to run away from those problems by escaping into fiction. It's a very nuanced situation

I wish a little he waited a month more for the video since the manwha is at such a important time rn and would change his idea about it even more
My favorite part of the whole series is coming up REAL soon and I’m so hyped
Later on the novel broke my brain. I don't think it's physically possible to binge it without breaks and still comprehend it.
Not gonna lie gigguk is severely underselling omniscient reader.
It’s actual peak manhwa and peak in general.
Orv is goat❤️
Garnt is just trying to be more rational and relateable to the viewers, those who havent read the novel or manhwa yet will definitely think that orv is just another trash isekai regression kinda thing. So instead of trying to convince the viewer who havent read it by telling them "how good it is", he took the "how different it is" route which is better because it is easier to convince someone and make them do something if we start from what they know about the troupe rather than giving them new knowledge about how good it is
It's alright
@@rilasrailac I get it, I just wish he would've talked more about the characters and their interactions because that's what hooked me when I was first reading it. Creators writing women as human beings tends to be pretty novel in this genre
Omniscient Reader is so freaking good. It's a loveletter to manhwa and everything else in its genre. Its a commentary on story and the main characters involve a reader, a writer, and the main character, allowing you to see all 3 dimensions of the artform. Dokja is a very realistic individual. He's extremely intelligent, but he is very emotionally closed off and chooses to hide behind his "wall," both figuratively and literally. Any fan of manhwa, I highly recommend ORV. The end is heart shattering and although the end of the manhwa wont come for years, the journey is an amazing time.
not to mention the humongous amount of setting and sideplots and character interactions (like uriel, dokja and yoo jonghyuk) and power systems is so crazy detailed lol
Yeah
This just got an anime, are you predicting the future now? Hmmm

8:37 IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS. 💀
one of the best and most tragic arc so far is just about to unfold as you post this
As someone who's read through the entirety of the original web novel, Gigguk is completely correct. It only continues to delve further into the ideas and themes that it's already explored and expands it even further. It's really gratifying to see a creator as large as Gigguk to highlight this series. I also want to mention since Garnt is mostly focusing on power fantasy manhwa, if you are interested in manhwa at all, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out other genres. Examples:
Power fantasy manhwa: Level Up with the Gods (very similar to orv), Her Summon (normal guy gets summoned as a familiar for a mage in another world, meta parody humor), and Bastard a horror/thriller where the less you go in knowing about it, the better read it'll be.
Bastard is still my favorite WebToon. ORV and Sweet Home are second
Can you read all of these on webtoon?
@@weirdyoda6982I think the only one you can read on webtoon is Bastard, leveling with the gods is on Tapas, and Her summon is on toomics
I wouldnt call leveling with the gods very similar to ORV. It is more similar to something like Ranker who lives a second time. Orv is just so unique and deep no manhwa can really compare to its scale or greatness
I've already read all of those, do you have any other recommendations? Edit: nvm

The chemistry between the characters is just chef's kiss. The relationships established between them are so fun to see and the way the story unfolds makes you feel the emotions they're feeling on a scale far superior than most series.

HELL YEAH ORV ‼️‼️ as a novel reader whos read the whole 500+ chapters 15+ times and still find new things, i am . SO EXCITED for more ppl to discover and enjoy this absolute masterpiece that quite genuinely changed my life.
The greatest manhwa ever, bar none. Incredibly consistent across hundreds of chapters, engaging plot lines, cool characters, almost 0 fan service. It was made by an adult for adults. Very mature and entertaining series
So happy to see you talk about this great read!
Ever since Gigguk teased it in his regression video, I've been patiently waiting for this video and its finaly here
The authors are supposedly a married couple who wrote this together (which I think is part of why its different) and they have absolutely done something special with their works. I read the novel for ORV and am just enjoying their other work World after the Fall as it releases on webtoon. Both have a great depth of concepts and ideals and such effective execution.

Dragon-Marked War God= 5700
Nine Star Hegemon Body Art= 6000(ongoing)
Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World= *13700(ongoing)*
Martial God Asura= 6030(ongoing)
Chaotic Sword God= 3800(ongoing)
Emperor’s Domination=7196
Invincible= 3700
Oh come on. Even those rarely go that high. Most of them end around the 2k mark. Or somewhere between 2 and 3k.

Yaaasssss... I almost forgot about this one.. Its so fast paced, but not rushed, and okay with a good laugh or a lingering moment. Like the 3ish episode fight tournament arc I just read, followed by a 2 episode mega-undead-battle to save the kingdom lol.
Wow, glad you've discovered the ORV as a person who has read the novel to the end and not just once and is reading the manhwa in on-going too I can definitely say it really is easily the best manhwa in existence. And yes, it's great all the way through and has the great ending too. As well as great characters, storytelling, ideas, sense of humour, characters' chemistry and plot's logic. + it's not just a male fantasy plot like in Solo Leveling which is nothing more than that, though a really quality one.
When I watched your manhwa video, I was disappointed that you didn’t go into depth with this one but I see you were saving it for this moment
You speak about the series like a novel reader. You really get it
The reason why KDJ is falsely pushed as an underdog at the start of the manhwa is because the novel was narrated by him, and he is the epitome of an unreliable narrator, with an extremely warped perception of himself. It becomes more and more clear as you read. This doesn’t translate as well to the manhwa format I guess
omniscient reader is a strange novel. that's because while the narrator is kim dokja, the perspective is han sooyoung. she wrote omniscient reader in his pov and travelled the worldlines, came to ours, and delivered it to SingShong(the author of orv) for them to plagiarize. so, the story is technically told through HSY's eyes with KDJ as the main character. (it's also highly implied that, we, the readers of the novel, are fragments of KDJ whose memory she is trying to restore by writing omniscient reader. that makes so much sense when you take into account the quote "This story is for just that one reader." we are that one reader. and that one reader, kim dokja, is us. very meta.)
so HSY wrote the pov of YJH into TWSA, to which KDJ read and created a world where he is the underdog and YJH is his companion of life and death, to which HSY wrote about this world in KDJ's pov after KDJ "dies", to which YJH took her writing and spread them across the world lines, to which SingShong plagiarized. yeah... uh... i don't get it either..
@@emqntr yeah this is why i’m a bit 😬😬 about the manhwa because it literally will never be able to convey the story as well as the novel, because the story itself is designed FOR that medium… but it’s hard to explain that to people who haven’t read it without sounding pretentious as hell! augh!!!
@@elianaphobic even worse, it's being adapted into movie. literally HOW are they going to convey the message atp
@@emqntr I GOT MY ASS BEAT ON TWITTER BY KPOP FANS WHEN I BROUGHT THIS UP😭😭
@@elianaphobic LMAOOOOO OFC ITS TWITTER. nah cus orv is the type of novel that's best enjoyed in its original form of media, since other portrayals of it will deeply undermine the message. manhwa ehhh i guess i could get behind. movie? MOVIE????
ORV is so peak korea gonna create a live adaptation of it before solo leveling
[The Fifth Wall can appreciate Gigguk's awareness of this godly Novel]
Orv is literally my fav piece of media ever. It’s just so good at the way it makes the readers connect with dokja cause we ARE DOKJA aaaa
So there are more people like me. Makes me happy lol. I think i cried over 20 times reading the epilouge. Dokja-Joonghyuk-Sooyoung greatest trio of all time.
Sung Jin Woo is better
@@AXLDRK23move on bro
Haha.. like fragments…

As a reader of the novel and the manhwa, I can't tell you how many moments there are that will make you cry from both sadness and happiness. There are moments that will teach you something that resonates with you.

Anime adaptation announced a month after gigguk makes a video
10:50 seems like Garnt didn't let Alain buy Gundam 00 gunpla to put it into the video
Words cannot describe how amazing ORV is and what it meant to me when I read it for the first time. I love how much love it’s getting right now.
Every ORV fan I ever seen would do anything for ORV, and so would I
totally. i get embarrassingly excited the second it's mentioned...
@@JDNboy12I bet this is how kdj acts everytime wos is mentioned
@@lusse2and the funny thing is, [we] are kdj👀

Garnt using his Engineering degree and masters by name dropping laminar flow in a manhwa action-fantasy video.
Nah, that's the most generic physics term like ever, everyone knows it
Rejoice ladies and gents, Omniscient reader anime has been announced!
personal opinion but ngl i think "Webtoon Character Na Kang Lim" is also a pretty good story inside of story one, its kinda similar with the reading the novel part and how he changes some events aswell as the ability to loop back on death
This is it, we finally get the Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint video.
If you are deciding to read a manhwa for the first time, this is what you should read. Its peak manhwa and has over 200 chapters so far. The novel is complete and it goes into much more detail about the story itself. Both the novel and manhwa have their pros and cons and I would say to read both of them.
Nah I would differ on that... ORV is greatest when you are used to the tropes of Manhwas and know what all these Tower/Hunter/Deathgames genre's are all about.
You gotta read the tropey stuff before you get into the meta commentary on those tropes with ORV. It would make your experience so much better.
Also, directly starting with ORV would highten your expectations through the roof and nothing else would ever be able to satisfy you anymore.
So read the average stuff like Solo Leveling or other Tower/dungeon manhwas, before coming to ORV.
The ORV video I've been waiting for this ever since you made your manhwa video 😭😭😭
Thank you for making me read this manhwa, its beyond amazing, I didn't expect that.
I'm so happy that you are doing more Manhwa Gigguk. It really lifts my hope for the industry because I feel like it does get overshadowed by anime when it really deserves to stand side by side with it. I wish I had the platform to speak on it like you do because there are SO many things I could say about it from the Murim to the classic School fight genres or to the Dungeon stories. You also manage to always take the thoughts from my head and put them into the nicest way possible. I always imagined that Japan had their Isekai, Korea had their Reincarnation, and China had their Murim. You explained this in one of your videos and it just made me so happy. No one will read this but I'm so glad you're covering it
as a manhwa as well as a web novel reader of orv, you can only fathom how amazing the story gets as the plot progresses, it's so much more than just a piece of fiction for a lot of us orv fans, so glad to see you talk about it
truly. i get embarrassingly giddy every time i see someone mention it.
This is so true
@@JDNboy12 pls i did just that after seeing the notif for this vid
@@JDNboy12literally got me jumping up and down
I actually finished the Novel of ORV this Saturday and it goes Absolutely NUTS in the Second half, and Last 150 chapters Blows everything out of proportion.
how do you feel about the ending buddy... did u expect it 🙂
@@yna1nna it depends on which ending you meant, cause i did think about the First Ending(before Epilogue), but everything Just goes so hard and all the concepts, i guessed about the Author’s identity but not about wall’s identity. Or how ending happens(you know the last one). So i kinda guessed first half but not the second of ending(s).
watching this knowing we’re at one of the best arcs of the entire series that will change the chemistry intensely
I love that everyone in the comments is mentioning 49/51
"When this MF'er pisses it's probably in laminar flow" is the single greatest descriptor. My life is now complete.
For anyone wanting to read this: THE ENDING IS WHAT MAKES THIS A 10/10 DONT WANNA SPOIL BUT ITS WORTH THE READ JUST FOR THE ENDING
Made me tear up ong
it was only 51% satisfactory, idk 49% felt like it left the station a bit
49% is being dazed everyday for the rest of your life
@@ethantabamo8981 I hope the 51% left too. T_T
Made me cry
Went and binge-read the entirety of it up to Chapter #207. It's good.
Major props for using the Gundom 00 theme music for "celestial beings". Bravo.
