Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint may get an OST before the airing of its anime (cries in 2024 announcement).
The official X, formerly known as Twitter, account of the webcomic, revealed that the first original soundtrack would be coming soon. A visual of the characters walking toward a light on the horizon was dropped, although they have their backs turned. Little else is known about this soundtrack, but it’s likely this music will be for the webcomic rather than the anime. It’s not much, but at least it’s another piece of media to the slowly but surely growing library of ORV.
Based on a novel written by singNsong, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint follows Kim Dokja who is the only reader who has stuck with the novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse for 10 years. When he reaches the ending, Kim Dokja receives a mysterious message from the author. Suddenly, the novel becomes a reality and he must now harness his knowledge of the book to navigate the events and survive. He teams up with the novel’s protagonist Yoo Joonghyuk in the hopes the two may be able to change the original novel’s plot.
The webcomic, with artwork done by Sleepy-C, debuted on May 26, 2020 and has been serializing for close to six years with the team rarely taking a hiatus. Season 1 concluded on June 9 with 311 episodes. Season 2 returns on November 24.
A live-action film adaptation was released on July 23, 2025, called Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, but was met with an overwhelming negative reception, the criticism mainly revolving around the film’s failure to be accurate to the original novel. An anime adaptation was announced back in Anime Expo 2024 but no other information has been revealed, raising concerns and worries amongst fans over the future of the adaptation.
The English translation of ORV can be read on WEBTOON. Published by Ize Press, the manhwa and the webnovel can be read in print.
