Also known as ''Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint'', the original translated title before it got picked up by Webnovel.
The official English translation can be found [[https://www.webnovel.com/book/12524375106746605/Omniscient-Reader here]]. There is also a [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/omniscient-reader/list?title_no=2154 webcomic adaptation]]. In July 2023 it was picked up Ize Press, an imprint of Creator/YenPress, for physical distribution for both the Manhwa and the novel.
Added DiffLines:
Originally written in Korean, the webnovel was also known as ''Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint'', the original translated title before it got picked up by Webnovel and translated unofficially by Webnovel translators Rainbowturtle and A_Passing_Wanderer respectively. The webnovel was divided into 5 volumes, each containing a number of episodes, along with a 5-part epilogue. Each episode was also further divided into several chapters.
The novel was exceedingly popular in the Korean webnovel reader community, having exceeded 26 million views on Munpia by September 2019 [[https://newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=201909181014591910#favnews#_enliple as seen here]]
In January 2021, an ebook and physical book were announced, with the first eight volumes releasing in March 2021 in Munpia and later on Naver, with four more volumes releasing in September of 2021 and the last few volumes releasing in January 2023. As confirmed by Sing Shong on Munpia [[https://mm.munpia.com/?menu=novel&action=view&id=104753&entry_id=3780188 here,]] the ebook releases have also had revisions in certain parts of the story, but those changes would not be reflected in the original webnovel's contents. According to Sing Shong's own review featured in the Ebook, both versions are still correct and can be considered as conflicting memories on the same events. Physical releases for the Ebook have since been released as well, with soft and hardcover editions being published in Korean as well as simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and Thai respectively.
----
In addition, side stories have since been released, detailing previously untold events in ORV such as expanding on Yoo Joonghyuk's backstory. As of May 2023, five side stories have been released, two in the ebook, one in the physical hardcover release, and one freely available on Munpia/Naver [[https://novel.munpia.com/104753/page/1/neSrl/4825825 here.]] The last side story began on February 15, 2023 and has been ongoing ever since with four chapters a week. Seemingly a direct continuation of the events of ORV, it centers on webnovel author Lee Hakhyun [[spoiler: and other ORV readers being brought into the world of Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.]] As of now, no official translations have been released for these side stories.
Omniscient Reader characters have also appeared in one of Sing Shong's other webnovels, The World After The Fall, which they released before ORV. The Webtoon adaptation can be read [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/the-world-after-the-fall/list?title_no=4011 here.]]

The official English translation can be found [[https://www.webnovel.com/book/12524375106746605/Omniscient-Reader here]].
There is also a [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/omniscient-reader/list?title_no=2154 WebToon adaptation]] that was announced a day after the end of the webnovel. Produced by Redice studios and Published by Naver Webtoon, it would later have an English translation released on August 19th of the same year by LINE Webtoon. Following the events of the ebook rather than the original webnovel, the Webtoon has since attained a high level of popularity in Korea as well as globally, with it having accumulated 360 million global views by May 2021 and a consistent top ranking during the Wednesday webtoon list in Korea and elsewhere.
In July 2023 it was picked up Ize Press, an imprint of Creator/YenPress, for physical distribution for both the Manhwa and the novel.
Movie adaptations of the story produced by Realize Pictures were also announced by Munpia in September 2019, with plans to adapt the story into five feature films. No release dates have been announced as of yet. Actors Lee Minho and Ahn Hyoseop were confirmed to be in talks to portray Yoo Jooghyuk and Kim Dokja respectively, with others such as Yoo Sangah, Jung Heewon, and Lee Jihye being rumored to be played by Korean actresses Chae Soo Bin, Nana, and Kim Jisoo of Music/BlackPink fame respectively.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: After the original translator, Rainbow Turtle, was replaced by A_Passing_Wanderer, he changed the spelling of nearly every character's name, or at the very least inserted a hyphen.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Applies for pretty much every character because of the way Korean romanization works and that certain vowels in Korean can be translated into different latin vowels. Yoo Joonghyuk alone has ''four'' ways to spell his name that are technically correct with the official translation on Webnovel using two different ones throughout the chapters.
