Background About The Upcoming Title
Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is an action-fantasy web-novel created by Sing Shong which originally ran from January 2016 to February 2018, published by Munpia, while the currently ongoing webtoon, illustrated by Sleepy-C and published on Naver’s platform, began its run in May 2020. The story follows an office-worker named Kim Dokja who has spent a lot of time enjoying his favourite web novel titled “Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse”; however, when the story’s events become reality, Dokja is the only person who knows how the world will end, and he’ll do everything in his power to change fate.
At this point, there isn’t any production or cast information available for the upcoming Omniscient Reader anime, but more will become known about the series over the next few months. The WEBTOON updates every Tuesday. Aside from the upcoming anime adaptation, Omniscient Reader also has a film adaptation currently in production, making it a very busy moment for the title. In an era of growing manhwa and WEBTOON anime adaptations, the confirmation of Omniscient Reader is great news especially for fans who have followed the webcomic for quite some time.
