Omniscient reader's viewpoint is about Kim Dokja who once read a book. And that book has always been there for him - and it saved his life. He was the only follower of that book that has over 3100 chapters for 10 years. It's always been there for him, even through his ups and downs in life.

The novel follows the protagonist, Kim Dokja, who finds himself trapped in a story he once read – a story that is rapidly turning into a reality filled with danger, magic, and various fantastical elements. The unique twist in this novel lies in its narrative structure, where Kim Dokja is aware of the events that will unfold due to his prior knowledge of the story. This concept of someone possessing “omniscient” insight into a story offers a fresh perspective on the isekai (alternate world) genre, blending elements of metafiction and self-awareness.
