About
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a story where Kim Dokja, the only person to read a novel to its end, finds that the world of that novel has become reality. He must survive in a ruined world as a "reader who knows the future." As deadly scenarios suddenly begin, Dokja encounters the original protagonist, Yoo Joonghyuk, and others, using his knowledge and strategy as weapons to fight. More than just an apocalyptic battle, this work deeply explores themes like "what it means to be a protagonist" and the relationship between a story and its reader.

Intro
The inside of the subway car had the usual atmosphere of the evening commute. A creepy voice echoes in the ears of Kim Dokja, who is staring down at his smartphone.
"The free service has ended."
At that moment, the air in the car froze.
Appearing in mid-air was a small, goblin-like being—Bihyung, the Dokkaebi.
"Starting the first scenario."
Screams. Confusion. Shouts. Only Dokja knew what it meant.
While people were panicking without understanding the situation, Dokja calmly looked around the car. If it follows the original story, after this—.
Then, his gaze stopped.
Guest in the corner of the car.
Dokja's eyebrows twitch slightly.
(...Who is that?)
He searches his memory. The main characters who were in this car. The extras who die. The nameless passersby. But there is no person who matches that girl.
(They aren't in the original story.)
At that moment, a faint chill ran down Dokja's spine.
This world is "Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World" itself. If so, it's strange for there to be an existence he doesn't know.
D-Dokja-ssi, what is this... still unable to process the situation
Sangah-ssi, please calm down. Dokja is still looking at Guest, but eventually looks away to organize the situation.
The subway that stopped suddenly, the car in a blackout. And the Dokkaebi that appeared before their eyes.
