During Crunchyroll’s panel at Anime Expo 2024, the anime adaptation of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint was announced, and a teaser for the same was released. The anime will be based on the manhwa (South Korean web novel) written by Sing Shong. 

The manhwa was first published in January 2018 on Munpia. The ongoing webtoon was published by Naver Webtoon in 2020. Redice Studio adapted the plot for the Korean version and Line Webtoon for the English version. 

Details about the anime’s release date, studio, and cast have not been released yet. In the teaser for the series, Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk, the main characters share the spotlight. Here’s everything that we expect to happen in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. 

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Plot

In the webtoon, the series follows the life of Kim Dokja, a young man working in an office, seemingly leading an ordinary life. He is an avid reader of his favorite novel, ‘Three Ways to Survive’, but one day things change drastically for Kim. 

When the novel finally ends in Chapter 3149, the world of the novel becomes reality, with Kim being the only person who knows how the story will end. Using this knowledge, Kim must alter the ending to save the world.
