ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 2-5 (end of episode 1)

Bihyung ur silly and all but please shut your capitalist ass up. Living for free? En este economia? (In this economy?)

Ah 3 chapters in and we've already got doomed by the narrative yuri, my favorite.

Yknow I kinda forgot how brutal the beginning of orv is. And the most terrible, or I suppose best part about this scene, is that it reflects fear and mob mentality so well.

Actually badass of Kim Dokja

I AM ON THE FLOOR SCREAMING. WHEN THE FORESHADOWING FORESHADOWS AHHHHHHHHHH

Sometimes, orv reminds us that Kim Namwoon is only 18.

[pttucker]

Even though Dokja's repeated failures gave me major stress during the scenario, I love that we're learning that the main power of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint comes from the "character" that Dokja is "reading" and the reason it works so well is because he's almost always using Yoo Joonghyuk who is...well, Yoo Joonghyuk.

In fact, I wonder if any other person can even use Dokja's special bookmarks, such as Way of the Wind. I wonder if Joonghyuk is only able to use it so effortlessly because he actually learned it in previous rounds. And because he's Yoo Joonghyuk.

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 42-48 (episode 10, Future War)

KIM DOKJA NOOOO THATS DOMESTIC ABUSE BAD

I love Jung Heewon so much (I have a type guys and it's crazy strong women that are slightly unhinged or healers)

LEE JIHYE I LOVE YOU TOO THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENE!!!! Lee Jihye and Demon-like Judge of Fire really are the og Joongdok shippers.

She's just like me fr. I love Jung Heewon's and Kim Dokja's dynamic so much.

Sure Kim Dokja, you have no feelings and didn't want to make Yoo Sangah feel better sure. Mmmhmm. You're definitely not doing this because you care. (He does care. So much)

I love identity theft

LEAVE THE BABY BOY ALONE!!! WOULD PUNCH LEE SUNGKOOK IF GIVEN THE CHANCE!!! CATCH THESE HANDS BITCH!!! Han Donghoon does not deserve this.

Lol pathetic fucker imagine being the ninth person to stop reading

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 15-18 (all of episode 4)

He's so baby girl

AAAHHHHHHHHH FORESHADOWING MY BELOVED OMG THATS REAL SNEAKY SING-SHONG

ITS HER!!! JUNG HEEWON!!!!

Kim Dokja ready to THROW DOWN

Kim Dokja: Orphan Adopter, Designated Parent, The Cool Dad That Leaves to Get The Milk (but always comes back)

Also I love Lee Gilyoung so much he's so baby

Kim Dokja is loosing the IDGAF war so badly. He cares so much :')

Idk how to explain it but this breaks my heart

Is there is there something u wanna share with the class kim dokja?

I love his little internal monologue, it give us such insight into how he thinks.

THEM!!! Gilyoung-ie is so bby duck coded. He just imprinted on Kim Dokja

I like my women filled with the rage of a thousand sun's and full of righteous fury

[walmart-miku]

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 11-14 (end of episode 3)

Kim Dokja out here playing 4D chess

I actually love how the beginning of orv plays up Kim Dokja to be like your usual overpowered MC when he's really not. It fools you into thinking that you know what you're getting into when you start orv.

✨️UNRELIABLE NARRATOR✨️

[walmart-miku]

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 5-6 (beginning of episode 2)

Warning: This post contains MAJOR spoilers under the cut, proceed with caution if that's not your thing (I'm talking massive spoilers here, things that get revealed near or at the end of orv)

Orv and flipping roles example 1

Shut up Kim Dokja and thank you for living

WARNING SPOILERS

*breathes in* Lee Gilyoung my bby boy. Kim Dokja you're soon going to learn that Lee Gilyoung was passive not only because he was afraid but also because he didn't care what happened to his "mom" (*cough cough* his aunt *cough cough*)

WHEN THE PARALLELS PARALLEL

I think Kim Dokja just sees himself in Lee Gilyoung here because of the ✨️traumatic experience of watching a person die in front of you (whose death you may or may not have caused by either actively killing them or just letting them die)✨️ :D

But like seriously. I love how on some subconscious level Kim Dokja saw his small little self (who was prob around Lee Gilyoung's age) that had just killed his father and decided that he would not let the kid go through it alone like he did.

O U G H WHEN THE PARALLELS PARALLEL (if yknow yknow)

[walmart-miku]

I have decided to reread orv to celebrate the new of an anime adaptation. So now I'm going to be live blogging it. Apologies to all followers and mutuals in advance. I will not be Normal about orv for the foreseeable future. Anyways

Me when I'm almost done reading a book/fic

gay

Yoo Sangah I love you but you're saying "please money" :/ what you're tying to say honey is "por favor dame dinero" (<-this person has taken 3 years of Spanish and is currently in their 4th year of Spanish classes)

ORV chapters: Prologue and Chapter 1

[walmart-miku]

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 36-41 (episode 9)

Because ■■■ ■■■ the ■■■■■ regression also because you kim dokja

We love knowing random facts about our special interests <3 (also just jihye to the side going :0)

Gilyoung's so real for this. He gets the weirdness of being a child but not feeling like one.

Kind Dokja you cheater :0

Oh the irony the juxtaposition the AUGH!!!!!! Orv does technique like no other

YEAH GO GET YOUR BOYFRIEND KIM DOKJA!!!

She's just like me. (Feels unbearably guilty all the time and hates herself but carries on anyways because then what was the point?)

FUCK YEAH!!!!

Damn Yoo Joonghyuk really going through the horrors right now

DAMN RIGHT!!! YOU NEEDED HIM BEFORE THE SCENARIOS AND YOULL NEED HIM DURING AND YOULL NEED HIM AFTER!!! YOUR FATES ARE INEXPLICABLY INTERTWINED.

[walmart-miku]

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 27-35 (episode 7-8)

:D DAD DOKJA DAD DOKJA DAD DOKJA DAD DOK

ITS THE FIRST "COMPANIONS OF LIFE AND DEATH" OF ORV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHH (chapter 28 btw ;))

He's so insufferable (affectionate)

Don't worry Kim Dokja give it a ■■■■■■ of ■■■■■■■■ and Yoo Joonghyuk will be tenderly cradling you in his arms as ■■■ ■■■ (happens ■■■■■ if I'm remembering right) give it a ■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■ and Yoo Joonghyuk will be ■■■■■■■■■■ you to keep you from ■■■■■■■ yourself :D (comment has been filtered due to spoilers!!!)

Kim Dokja you fucking hypocrite

Because he loves you. Because he loves them. Because this is the happiest Kim Dokja has likely been in his 28 years of existence so far. Because while he might talk big about efficiency and the best route his best route is the one where no one dies. Because he sees himself in you. Because he read a novel for 10 years about someone that tried and failed and tried again to save the world and its people. Because he can.

BUT YOU ARE KIM DOKJA YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO THIS LITTLE BOY RIGHT NOW YOU ARE LEE GILYOUNG'S WHOLE WORLD RIGHT NOW. HE WOULD DIE FOR YOU (not that you'd let him) HE WOULD KILL FOR YOU (not that Jung Heewon would let him) THIS. JUST THIS INTERACTION. ITS JUST SO. AAAUUUGGGGHHHHHHH

"I wouldn't let Lee Gilyoung die. At least, not today." KIM DOKJA I THINK YOU MEAN NOT EVER

BECAUSE ITS ■■■ THE ■■■■■ ■■■■!!!!!! BECAUSE AAHHHHHHHH (comment has been filtered due to spoilers!!!)

Fucking emotionally constipated husbands. Poor Lee Gilyoung, has to be handed off to his other dad :(

Kim "I'm just a normal guy" Dokja my ass (also he cares so much about them I'm not ok)

Yoo Joonghyuk out here trying to get custody of Lee Gilyoung

Kim Dokja your story is so interesting that orv has a cult following

Ah *sniffles* bbys first bounty :') idk how many times this happens but it's a lot

Of course Kim Dokja is crazy how to do you think he got this far???? No sane person survives the scenarios and no sane person cones out of ORV sane

Average ORV reader

Yknow you love him Kim Dokja

Ding ding ding! Kim Dokja's sunfish regression depression radar is going off!!! Time for him to go save a sunfish :D

[walmart-miku]

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 23-26 (episode 6)

Hehehehehehe foreshadowing >:)

The Girlboss. Absolute queen.

Don't worry, they'll be back.

I love how we can pick up on how much Kim Dokja's companions trust him so early on bc they're constantly showing him love. With Lee Gilyoung you can tell that his love language is physical touch with how much he clings to Kim Dokja and for Jung Heewon it's acts of service (very fitting for someone who is Kim Dokjas sword)

I love Kim Dokja he's such a cringe fail loser of a man (affectionate) lol (<- this person would also have shit stats if you put her in the scenarios pls don't put me in the scenarios I would not survive)

WE LOVE A STORY ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE THAT ADDRESSES PERIODS!!!

She's just like me fr fr (has an excessive amount of knowledge in random things due to the need to be good at everything and be helpful and bc the brain likes having facts)

Kim Dokja: Professional Scammer

Kim Dokja used "Evade"! It was kind of effective!

NOOOOOOOO :(

On a side note, love how everyone is traumatized and that Lee Gilyoug was most likely abused by his mom and that's why he likes Kim Dokja so much. Because Kim Dokja shows him affection in ways that Lee Gilyoung never received. Also Lee Hyunsung has military trauma!!! Lovely

ITS HER!!!!! LEE JIHYE!!!! DOOMED YURI GIRL!!!! (<-killed her bff in order to survive the first scenario)

[walmart-miku]

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 7-10 (end of episode 2 Protagonist)

That's not the only thing she's gonna be monitoring ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (archangel uriel aka joongdoks ship captain)

Aw yeah more foreshadowing

Random thought but the way fourth wall is structured in the beginning makes orv feel like an otome game

I was never particularly attached to Kim Namwoon the first time I read orv but damn this is way too cruel of a beginning for him

O u g h. I love how complex character list is.

LOOK AT KIM NAMWOON HOLY SHIT. HES JUST LIKE US STUDENTS. HE GETS IT

Toxic yaoi

...

I think I might like doomed by the narrative a little too much

:D it's only the first chapter of Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk interacting and there is so much. So Much. homerotic subtext here

Gays am i right
