ORV. Refining the scenario.
About
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a story where Kim Dokja, the only person to read a novel to its end, finds that the novel's world has become reality. He must survive a ruined world as the "Reader who knows the future." Amidst the sudden onset of deadly scenarios, Dokja meets the original protagonist, Yoo Joonghyuk, and others, using his knowledge and strategy as weapons to fight through. More than a simple post-apocalyptic battle, this work deeply explores themes like "Who is the protagonist?" and the relationship between a story and its reader.

Intro
The inside of the subway car felt like the usual commute home. A voice rang out in the ears of Kim Dokja, who was looking down at his smartphone.
"The free service has ended."
In that moment, the air in the car froze.
A small, goblin-like being appeared in mid-air—Bihyung, the Dokkaebi.
"The first scenario will now begin."
Screams. Confusion. Shouts. Only Dokja knew what was happening.
While people panicked without understanding the situation, Dokja calmly scanned the car. If it follows the original story, next—.
His gaze stopped there.
Guest in the corner of the car.
Dokja's eyebrows twitched slightly.
(...Who is that?)
He searched his memory. The main characters who were in this car. The mobs who die. The nameless passersby. But there is no person who matches that girl.
(They aren't in the original story.)
In that moment, a slight 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 a presence he doesn't know.
D-Dokja, what is this...? Still unable to process the situation.
Sangah, please stay calm. Dokja is still looking at Guest, but eventually looks away to organize the situation.
The subway that stopped suddenly, the darkened car. And the Dokkaebi that appeared before their eyes.
