“Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint” follows Kim Dok Ja, an ordinary office worker, who is the sole reader to have completed the 10-year-long fantasy web novel “Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World.” When reality merges with the novel’s world, Kim Dok Ja’s life collides with Yoo Joong-Hyeok, the story’s immortal protagonist with exceptional combat skills.
