#orv anime is crazy

[fun-size-sunshine]

It’s so crazy to me how one of my fanfic/fandom involved friends willingly read all of tgcf knowing it was longer than the Bible yet flat-out refuses to read orv

[anthyies]

[jelloia]

ORV FILM CAST!! (yes i jsut found out about it LMAO) omfg ahn hyoseop as kdj is PERFECT like hello that picture of him below is so dokja-coded

… just one thing…

lmao I can’t believe they chose jisoo to play jihye 😭 don’t get me wrong I love jisoo and believe in her skills but jihye is supposed to be a high schooler ??

like jisoo looks young but I just don’t think the shock factor of a mere high school girl doing what jihye has done will be there 💀💀💀

[xiewho]

hi guys please send me art reqs so i have something to draw while im in the car for a few millennia

[solcarow]

orv adaption announcements …………..

[simkjrs]

thank you for promoting orv in 20..18? 2019? because that novel ended up meaning so much to me :) it’s crazy seeing it going from like 3 english fans to however many the new live actions and anime will bring

thank YOU for reading!!

for real it has been crazy seeing the orv fandom grow so explosively... i still remember when the orv "fandom" only consisted of me, my dozen friends i dragged into reading it with me, and like 3 other strangers on ao3. i kinda miss those days haha but i'm happy this story has reached out to so many others.

Round 1

Propaganda Under Cut

Han Sooyoung

han sooyoung is one of the main trio protagonists yet people constantly ignore her in order to ship the other two males despite the fact that they are all doomed by the narrative TOGETHER!!! fanon content is even worse because it either slaps a lesbian sticker onto her to shittily write her off in fanfic OR they make her so one dimensional its like a cardboard stand in. han sooyoung arguably has a more important/interesting dynamic with the main male protagonist yet everyone ignores her because they want their uwu gay babies IM SO SICK OF ORV FANS

Dokja and Joonghyuk are a very popular ship (rightfully so, i get it) but usually Sooyoung is seen as in the way of their relationship or not as valued as the other two even though her place in the story and relationship with the other characters is just as strong. Recently there was a post on twitter being rude about people who ship her and Joonghyuk (which is a super valid ship) and i saw a lot of hate that i believe just stems from her getting “in the way” of a yaoi ship. 

99% of that kind of symbolic fanart REFUSES. to acknowledge her existence man. even though she is part of the main TRIO man

Shinoa Hiiragi

The fandom hated her for getting in the way of Mika/Yuu (she had a crush on yuu). The rare times they didn’t hate her they made her into a fujoshi obsessed with shipping them which isn’t in character at all. In fact if you look at the owari no seraph specials she would ship yuu with kimizuki but no one even cares

One of my favorite characters ever forever and treated heinously by crazed fujoshis that hallucinated she was getting in the way of MikaYuu, which for the record she wasn’t! I mean even if she WAS getting between them it wouldn’t justify the crazy misogyny that got thrown at her but she had a ONE-SIDED CRUSH on Yuu. He didn’t even like her back. What was the issue, then? An unrequited crush is not going to prevent a relationship! Whatever I haven’t even told you about her. She’s Silly. She’s incredibly cunning and a great leader, in fact she is the leader of the anime’s main squad. She’s calculating. She’s a gossip and a prankster and a bit flirty and a bit mean-spirited and she presents herself in a Silly Goofy way, in part to cover up the amounts of angst in her backstory, like my girl has ISSUES. She even has an epic demon weapon that is better and cooler than most other demon weapons but if you ask any fangirl from way-back-when, she’s just a bitch and the personification of evil. and probably homophobic too, even though she has a girl rival-turned-friend which is the gayest trope out there. 

She seems to be the (male) protagonist's love interest and appears to be canonically in love with him, but he is not interested in her whatsoever, often brushing her off and dismissing her in favor of thinking about his found family instead. I don't necessarily ship him romantically with any other male character (i hc him as aroace) but by god the anime was extremely charged with homoromantic subtext in every corner. One of those "holding each other's faces in the opening, spends the entire first season pining and wishing to be reunited" types. The fandom ships her love interest with another male character to the extent that I started watching the show in the first place because i kept seeing ship posts of the main character with that other guy thought they were cute. And also i cannot fucking stand her personality and want to light her on fire. I think the rest of the fandom agrees with me but I'm honestly not sure. I'm also a gay man so i think you could argue that I, the submitter, could play the role of the "yaoi" terrorising her as well

[toniko]

Oh it’s only one of the most phenomenal weeks to be an ORV fan. DKOS, anime announcement, (side story chapter spoilers as well I won’t say what but it’s crazy‼️‼️) n above else there were so many irl orv events like the PH Starstream (correct me if im wrong about anything), I’ve seen tweets about an event in Indonesia & AX had such a surprising amount of fans!

like i hope we continue building this community n give new ppl a chance to love it once the anime comes out!

[scarlet-cookie]

I am about mmm.. 850~ ish into LOTM and MAN!!! *slams table* *forgets my thoughts* JKJK!!! Holy MOLY!!!!!! Everything is crazy!!!! I am so glad I still have 600 or so chapters of this amazingness left!!! Oh Leonard I love you. I also adore Will Auceptin’s personality lmao. Oh the Foggy Town arc? Holy, crap!!! Everything is falling into place?? And Klein’s therapy session made me wonder about how even to a reader, I still ponder whether Klein’s actions are truthful or not, or if he’s still holding something back. Truly a fool in every sense of the word!! Ah- Leonard’s little grave digging adventure is- just- the emotions he felt, I could completely get it. The writing is mwah immaculate!!

Also Klein bullying Leonard in his own dream LMAO. I can imagine that whenever that will get adapted into anime Klein would just be staring at Leonard through the wine glass like that one scene from PMMM Rebellion with Homura and Sayaka. Oh speaking of which the new trailer?????? I’m screaming. As an ORV and LOTM reader I’m eating good yum yum. Mm that sounds a little off in the ORV sense but HEY!!!

spova... HRHGHGHHGHGHHHHH (STARTS CLAWING AT THE WALLS) im getting a bunch of my irls to watch the show with me and like how do i explain why sparx catching nova in circus of ooze makes me actually start howling in pain. the slow burn... the trust... the botched confessions the loss the self blame. oh god its all just so fucking painful forever ill never be over them

tomshiv :) theyre the perfect eternal punishment for each other and i love seeing them make each other suffer. the dirty talk scene in season 3 permanently altered my brain chemistry and tom wambsgans mr brightside is the greatest video of our generation

joongdok. thousand yard stare. ive been coming around to yoohankim lately too but i feel like a lot of content doesnt really capture what i like about orv so i dont look at or like a lot of the shippy content in the first place

gibotto

b) first ever ship:

...... :( it was grey/juvia from fairy tail. yandere x tsundere was like elite to me. if i close my eyes and pretend im in a universe where fairy tail is good i can honestly see the vision. the first one that made me really crazy crazy about shipping though was germany and italy from hetalia unfortunately. sorry. and sometimes i fear i may never escape the annoyingly optimistic x grump who secretly likes it trope and its all their fucking fault

[you-can-be-what-you-want-to-be]

just wanted to say that. i saw u from the “who tf is prev” poll & so i clicked on your blog bc i love mp100 & OMNICIENT READER’S AS WELL… I HAVE STRUCK GOLD!!! do you have any thoughts on where the story’s been going :0 (you are right tho mp100 IS life-changing it is so crazy good)

Thank you so much! You seem pretty cool to and I’m glad to hear I have good taste and other people like the things I do!

haha I can’t talk too much on what I think will happen in orv bc I finished the novel so I’m ahead of the webtoon readers although I’m keeping up with at as well… I will say after the current scenario 73rd demon king ends I HIGHLY recommend looking up “unlike Pluto ORV” it will bring up my favorite animatic and introduced me to one of my top ten songs of all time. I am also enjoying the speculation about secretive plotter and it makes me wish I hadn’t gotten spoiled ahead of time on who it is, even if it did make everything funnier. I can’t say much else on orv besides that you are going to be very surprised at the kind of story it turns into (this is a good thing)

mob psycho literally IS life changing. What else gives you such permission to grow and get better by explicitly telling you you can do bad it’s fine? The fact that one is so bad at art helps a lot too bc if it was flawless the message wouldn’t hit as hard but he’s clearly following his own advice and it made something beautiful. Also was my first anime I watched while giving anime a change so it being very “do whatever you want forever” was good timing. I got a tattoo about mob psycho with the “be a good person that is all” and a sunflower.

[dumbasswhatever]

Yoooooo I got a book that made me experience mental illness in a positive way, It's Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. It's a korean webnovel. It's about Kim Dokja, who's an average office worker, who just finished reading a webnovel, Three Ways of Survival, and the sole reader to read it until the end. Then, everything that the novel was about actually happened, so now he is thrusted into this apocalyptic world and have to survive in it.

This novel makes me crazy bc it discuss the way some people who read to survive, to live another day. Is it voyeuristic to see the characters suffering in order to live? If the characters were right in front of you and know that you read their stories, will they hate you? Resent you? For only watching and never helping? Are you, the reader, absolved of your sins, to know that these tragedies are made for your consumption?

Usually novels that goes this route will slander the readers sayin that you are bad, but NO this novel said the characters will love you, for reading their stories, for being there in suffering and in happiness. The stories will love you so, so much it will try to save you, even if it means that the characters have to go through it, the damned timeloop, again and again, to see a happy ending with you. You are doomed by narrative but they will try again and again to save you, until the very end.

It's a love letters from authors to readers who read to survive, and it resonates with lots of people who read it. And it fucks so harddddd it uses all the so called cringe cliches and tropes and embrace it and it goes HARD. It's not a novel based on logic, it uses storytelling components like themes, tropes, cliches and such as world building materials and it flows smoothly.

Also Kim Dokja made me so ill, this bastard is so depressed, full of self-denial and suicidal. He adopts kid and became an absent father. Everytime he made a plan, it will include a) if don't work kill myself or b) if killing self don't work, escalate situation so it fucks everyone in vicinity, he keeps saying "oh i do this selfishly. Im gonna reach an ending where everyone i love live happily and i am doing this for myself and myself only". He thinks he is unlovable. His self-denial is so strong it's literally parts of his skills. His companions are going crazy cause this man CANNOT stop throwing himself headfirst into danger. Have I mentioned the queerest polycule ever between the book's protagonist, kim dokja, and a hack author? They all said that the really can't stand each other BUT THEY ALL LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH IT BECAME A DAMN UROBOROS OF A TIMELOOP, SAVING EACH OTHER AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Okay anyway I'm normal again. Read ORV if you want. But be warned cause many people aren't normal after reading it. Engard

alright alright sorry for the ever so late answer, i would have answered your ask right away but see i was... indecisive. i began reading orv about a year ago but i got about 70 chapters in and then got distracted. (NOTHING against orv here. i can get distracted and abandon literally any story ever. i still haven't finished watching the ace attorney anime.) and so i know already that i like orv and i think it is so very fun, and i have been thinking recently about getting into it again and maybe actually finishing it this time, but i wasn't totally sure if i should start now since i'm gonna be getting some books in at the library... but anyways i gave in and i am having a BLAST. love this little freak kim dokja. right now, dozens of people are trying to assassinate him and he's like "well don't worry about that we don't have to fight them. the monsters are about to appear." i have orv downloaded on both my phone and my laptop so i can read it while i brush my teeth and also while i eat cereal in the morning. who even needs youtube. i am going to be so annoying to my sister about this

re: the LA adaptation + anime

heard on the grapevine that there could potentially be an animated adaptation announcement next year (at least, that's what the author had teased + kr fandom had speculated). naver webtoon seems to be going through an expansion recently by acquiring a few local animation studios so that in addition to studio lico (the studio in charge of the hsgh manhwa and main animation studio for alien stage)'s own in-house animation department, it's also super likely that the possible anime would be locally made! (unlike solo-leveling, which was being done by A-1 pictures)

an LA adaptation doesn't seem to be something that might happen any time soon (and given the orv kr and intl fandom's reaction to the live action orv movie casting, it doesn't seem too hopeful really!) + the whole potential discourse that follows with having a korean drama of a (technically) chinese-setting work, even if the og work is korean... best avoid that can of worms for now!

(though for me personally my fancast for a live action jo gul is ok taecyeon from 2pm LOL he was literally the first person that came to my mind when i first started reading the manhwa. they just look so alike it's crazy)

OHHH IS THAT SO...i swear i remember seeing fans speculating on an upcoming anime based off some things that were mentioned by the studio lico rotmhs team in an interview not that long ago so i definitely know that an anime is on the table, though when it will be announced and released... who knows..its only a matter of time..... i also noticed the acquirement of animation studios what with all the amv osts theyve been pumping out lately ..every time a new one drops ive been just rubbing my hands knowing that anime announcement is on the horizon and yeasss im definitely rooting for a locally done animated series cuz what they did w solo leveling was so sick oh my god i genuinely dont even want to think about it⬆️⬆️⬆️

i was never too hopeful for a live action, ive never really been into them in the first place tbh and ur right about the discourse surrounding it, it just sounds like too much trouble to even consider it at the moment.... the way yallre listing these fully grown adult actors for some of these characters who're jsut supposed to be younger teenagers in debut is making me giggle a little tho.. looked up ok taecyeon and imagining that guy pretending to be 17 yo baby faced s1 jo gul just made me laugh out loud.. ikwym though i suppose i can see it also

[jentlemahae]

anime fans when asian people don’t look like 2d cartoon drawings 🤯😠😤😡🤬

are they really gonna do this every time there’s a live action adaptation? is it really that big a deal that the cast aren’t exactly like their characters? orv is literally about a fantasy apocalypse and they’re mad the cast isn’t realistic enough?

throwing temper tantrums bcs jisoo is 29 like let’s be serious for a sec, you can’t honestly tell me jisoo looks her age. meanwhile over on the dior beauty instagram people are complaining that jisoo is promoting anti-ageing products bcs they think she’s a teenager. people being like “her personality doesn’t fit the role”, hey guys, ever heard of this thing calling acting? 😱 her character literally kills people, are they gonna be mad that jisoo isn’t a real life murderer next?

(#that fandom getting involved too like can they go one day without getting in bp business? pretending they’ve read this 5 volume webtoon just so they can talk shit about jisoo, dpmo)

there’s people fighting over that ?? oh my that is so crazy……im not an anime girlie so i’m not even gonna pretend to know that webtoon lol but i hate when people get mad if live actions don’t look exactly like the source material !!! who cares if she doesn’t look exactly like the character, she most likely portrays her well enough to play her anyway !!!!!

however i just wanna say……jisoo does look 29 and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! sure, she has access to expensive skincare and treatments and whatnot that surely make her more youthful-looking, but she definitely looks over 25 🙏🏻 i actually think it’s not very good to say otherwise

[muzwoom]

If you feel comfortable sharing, could you list the >10 obscure isekais you are currently obsessed with?

Yes of course!! With explanations and all!!!!! (Note: i am treating a series as “obscure” when i have 0 friends to talk abt any of them wiht :,) some of these are probably actually populair and im just not aware lol)

1. Lout of the counts family

I want og cale henituse biblically spiritually. i decided i want to get top surgery bc of this series. I am mentally unwell over this man. I would love this man if he was a worm. Literally changed every single pfp i have on anything to this man. I HAVE BEEN RANTING ABOUT THIS MAN FOR A MONTH NOW. MY FRIENDS ARE MAKING FUN OF ME ITS THAT BAD

2. Villains are destined to die

Love my girl penelope! I think her paranoia and the way she interacts with some charas is a little frustrating sometimes but i understand it at the same time, her situation is so scary and she doesnt know everything thats going on 🙏 i wanna go clubbing with her and let her have a moment to just have fun without any worries!!!!! I also like iklies i genuinely think hes just a mentally unstable 17 y old, a very therapy heavy 3 month plan could help him a lot

3. Mobuseka

Classic trash isekai anime but with the twist of it being very funny so i love this series anyway!!!!! Like this guy isnt winning by being kind hes just actively cheating his way through life, beating up nobles with shovels and just being a giant dick. I love this guy 10/10

4. The one with the vending machine

This one isnt obscure at all but i still wanna mention the anime where the guy is so obsessed with vending machines that he dies saving a vending machine from falling off a cliff. And then he wakes up in a fantasy world as a vending machine.

5. I’ve become the heroes rival

THIS SERIES HAD ME ACTUALLY LIKING A STRAIGHT COUPLE. LIKE OF COURSE I WOULDVE PREFERRED THE LESBIANS BUT MAN. THE STRAIGHT COUPLE WAS PRETTY ROMANTIC NGL.

6. I favor the villainess

AGAIN NOT VERY OBSCURE SINCE ITS GETTING ANIMATED BUT THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I WISH EVERY OTHER ISEKAI MANGA/ANIME OUT THERE WAS I LOVE THEM I LOVE HOMOSEXUALITY

7. The way to protect the female leads older brother

This one is pretty dark compared to the rest on this list but roxana is SO smart and her and her mans are so ❤️❤️❤️ together i hope neither of them dies :,)

8. Beware of the villainess

I LOVE MELISSA NINE AND YURI SO MUCH!!! CARTENA AND BOBBY ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER!!! I LOVE HOW MELISSA DOESNT GIVE IN WITH ANY OF THE TERRIBLE MEN AND SHE IS SUCH A GIRLS GIRL!!!!!! MELISSA YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL

9. Omniscient readers viewpoint

Again. Not that obscure since its getting a series. And i havent even read it completely yet. But 1 friend of mine told me about it and now my tiktok page is getting bombarded with orv angst and im 💀💀💀 literally crying at every fucking stupid slideshow. HOW IS ONE SERIES THIS SAD. MAN.

10. The empress’ lipstick

Ngl i dropped this after she panicked about finding the lipstick bc i could not handle the stress. Somehow i can handle roxanas crazy plots but i couldnt handle this??? IN ANY CASE its still a really funny manhwa and i think the main character is hilarious while also giving some insight about beauty standards somehow???

Another series’ ive been enjoying is “royal marriage”, its not an isekai but it follows a really smart woman maneuvering through noble life and getting rid of trash and standing up for herself so its the same vibe as some of them villainess isekais :P

[luvxiem]

Yup agree!! 🙌 I got a D on a thing worth 15% for one of my classes unfortunately 💀💀💀 but it was a pass!!!! (I swear I studied I just didn't study enough for the stuff that took up the majority of the questions 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Ooh art school sounds so interesting to me like it sounds so cool 🤩 yk ? I wanna say I'd much rather do art than essays but I suck at both so 😔 3 concerts is crazy omg that's good though!! It sounds fun

Also what is orv?? 😭 is that an acronym for something? ALSO omg what are your favourite WEBTOON?? I'm currently attempting to get back into purple hyacinths (I LOVE the music they use and how often they use music in chapters) + rly rly love Uriah and unholy blood 😤

For an about me page I think even the basic stuff is fine tbh I usually put age, MBTI (what's yours??), likes and dislikes, and favourite characters lmao i think just having one is cute even if it's not super complex !!

For the record this is the same essay anon as before but great!! Could I be 💫 anon then?

Wait ok last thing what kind of dogs are they??? I love animals sm 😭 I wanna get a pet snake or cat one day but not anytime soon lmao

bro i got a D on my recent midterm too LMFAOOOOOOO it was all dumb mistakes too so i was like </333

orv stands for omniscient reader's viewpoint!!!! its a korean webnovel turned webtoon that i am Very Normal about. i highly highly recommend for people who like apocalypse stories!! the webtoon is currently at 175 episodes but the webnovel is finished, its just.... really..... really long.... like. the entire novel is longer than all the harry potter books combined. im on chapter 323/551

i might make a short about me after all LOL but my mbti is infp!

and my first dog is a goldendoodle and my 2nd is a yorkie/poodle/maltese mix! also bro i love snakes so much ive wanted get a tattoo of one on my arm for years now..... i just gotta wait til im financially independent so my parents dont pull my rent money from me ToT
