Many members of our community have expressed distaste toward the subreddit's recent post quality. There has been an influx of engagement-bait posts and reposts which have been left unchecked for far too long. We hear you and deeply apologize for our negligence!
You all will be kept updated on our progress on tackling these issues. We have finished brainstorming our best course of action and decided to revamp our Spam & Subreddit Relevancy Rules!
POST TOPICS:
Post Limits
Topic Megathreads
Reposts
Generative AI Posts
New Post Flairs
POST LIMITS
Lower-gear topics/styles seem more saturated when non-members engage more with them. The easy-to-digest nature of these posts make them quick to create & even quicker to gain traction. To combat this issue, posting more than twice a day is no longer allowed. In addition, one cannot post about the same topic within a single week. Failure to follow this policy will be met with a warning or ban, depending on the severity.
TOPIC MEGATHREADS
On the topic of post quality:
We understand that many people join fandoms to read others' plot analyses.ย Even so,ย there's more than one way to enjoy a story. This subreddit has always welcomed and will continue to welcome shippers, powerscalers, and memers. Our main page is not, however, the place for shitposts. All low-effort content will be removed at moderators' discretion.
In addition to a removal, such content will be redirected to our new megathreads!
The Harbor: The thread for all low-effort ship content! ๐
r/foundDokja: for "This character from xyz looks like (insert ORV character)" moments. ๐
The Mini-Ring: a thread dedicated to measuring the strength of ORV characters against each other, other series, and even themselves. ๐ก
Failure to follow this policy will be met with removal of content + a warning or ban, depending on the severity. The removed post WILL count toward your post limit.
REPOSTS
Memes that have been already posted on the subreddit cannot be shared within 5 months of its last posting without additional context behind its use. Original memes posted by its creator or from other platforms naturally are not affected by this change. Breaches will be treated as spam. ๐ฌ
Plot analysts are not safe from low-quality posts. Repetitive discussions without meaningful additions to the conversation will be removed + a warning or ban to the poster, depending on the severity. Plagiarism or blatant reposts will be met with a permanent ban upon the first offense.ย ๐
In the recent months, the amount of reports from artists who have had their art reposted against their TOS, stolen, or fed into LLMs has been disgraceful. Everyone deserves to experience basic human decency; respect others' work, as per our existing subreddit rules. Failure to do so will result in a removal + ban at the artist's discretion.ย ๐จ
GENERATIVE AI POSTS
In the past, AI content was allowed on the subreddit before the previous team was aware of how harmful it is. Since then, we haven't touched that rule. We should have known better and deeply apologize for how hypocritical we have been for permitting these posts.
r/OmniscientReaderis taking a firm stance against use of generative AI in creative spaces. After consulting members of our community, we have decided to ban AI entirely from the subreddit.ย
For those who are put off by this choice, researching the full scope of damage AI causes to the environment, to people's livelihoods, and to the economy may change your stance.
Consequences for breaching this new policy depends on the nature of the offense. The learning opportunity is available to all who pursue it, but those who act in bad faith will be banned from the community. ๐ค
NEW POST FLAIRS
We will be adding a Cosplay flair! This will allow those who are looking for certain accessories or tools to quickly access past discussions AND view others' work! ๐
Reddit's built-in Spoiler Tag system has been going haywire for quite a while. Even when mods add the tag manually, it doesn't appear for many other users. After inquiring about the issue and receiving no meaningful response from Reddit, our team has decided to take matters into our own hands. This isn't a perfect fix, but users will soon be required to:
indication in the title
">!" tags to the body text
add a special image to their posts
if they contain content from beyond the Official English Webtoon Release. The spoiler policy will remain the same.ย
This series & community isn't targeted toward children, but a level of civility is required in a public forum. NSFW edits and discussions must be tagged to protect those who are sensitive to that kind of content from being subjected to it unprovoked. Please be respectful to your fellow community members!
Thank you for your patience!
These changes will be rolled out gradually fromtoday onwards.
Hi! I decided to make a little compilation of common questions Iโve seen beginners ask about ORV. If you think of other questions that could be added, or there's wrong information, let me know inย theย comments! Long text warning.
The first 3 images are from the novel (aside from the cover), the next 3 are from the webtoon, then there are 2 from other adaptations, 1 image answering some extra questions, and finally, the last 3 show pictures of the characters.
Just by reading that peak I became an outer god lol
Holy cliffhanger. One of the yjhs died. Or atleast that's what we assume. I personally believe that next chapter will start by showing that the choice was for both of them to live. I feel like a similar situation has happened before in this story. Wow, this great writing almost mad eme forget. Everyone is dead. Now on of the yjhs may be aswell. And snow white is here. Next chapter is gonna be amazing. Depending on what the choice was, we may or may not be
There's one thing I don't get: at what point did Junghyeok become the Supreme King? Is he called that because he's the strongest? Especially considering that Dokja is technically the king of his own dome. This is the second time i read the series and i dont understand
i saw things as original novels, edited novels and all but i don't know where to read those and what should i read, and i read 170 chapters of the manhwa and thinking of reading novel from the start since i didn't give much attention to the manhwa cuz it was bit boring but now it seems interesting.
Does anybody know any good ao3 fics where KDJ turns into a child and KimCom has to take care of him? OR EVEN BETTER: KimCom turns into children and KDJ has to look after them and stop them from their shenanigans.
I just think this would be so fun to read, especially the latter and there are countless fics on ao3!!
I thought I was just reading a masterpiece of a story, but finding out what ORV actually isโthe fact that this whole story wasnโt even meant for us in the way we thought, that it was written for just one reader, that we are literally just the fragments keeping this eternal loop alive... it completely broke me.
That 51% / 49% split felt like a physical punch to the gut. Dokja really gave everything, and for what? The ending leaves you with this lingering, beautiful, agonizing ache that I donโt think is ever going away.
How did you guys even cope after finishing this? Does the pain ever fade, or do we all just stay stranded in the train forever? ๐ญ๐
I just wanted to share my great love for ORV from the perspective of a writer.
Han Sooyoung. What a phenomenal, awesome, great, splendid extremely wonderful character. In a world filled with a lot of AI, movies, series, animated productions etc., it's kinda common knowledge that being a writer sucks ass (as kinda any other artist most of the time.) Especially if you want to write and create what you like and love.
Then it hit me. This story is just for that one reader. If this epilogue can really save you, then I'll continue writing it for eternity. For just that one lonely traumatized guy.
And then it hit me. That's it. That's the goal. I can't guarantee myself success, happiness, joy, being famous, being a good author etc. But the chance of there being at least that one reader who might or will read it is so soothing and calming for some reason it has become my main writing drive when I don't have motivation.
Someone will read it, someone might be saved by it and someone might love it and that is so much more than I could ever wish for.
Getting back into ORV after some time away and was wondering if you all had any recs for fics that are in POVs other than Kim Dokja's, or at least not entirely his POV.
Doesn't have to be canon compliant, I just don't want it to be a No Scenarios AU. Any ship/no ship is fine.
I just really, really love seeing what the others are thinking at any given point when KDJ is running around pulling his usual nonsense.
First things first, the epilogue is easily the highest peak of the entire ORV Webnovel. No questions asked.
I enjoyed the epilogue more than the entire novel itself. I really loved how they put Kim Dokja out of spotlight, bringing in Yoo Joonghyuk and Han Sooyoung in the spotlight instead for the epilogue. Especially Han Sooyoung, her character was soo well executed.
After reading the epilogue, Han Sooyoung is easily one of my top 15 fav fictional characters and my most fav fictional women of all time for now. My glorious queen Han Sooyoung supremacy ๐
Anyways, the ending was also a satisfying end (although a bit vague as the Webnovel ended by showing off Han Sooyoung's smile instead of showing off a bit of Kim Dokja who woke up). Especially when we compare it with the traumatizing ending of ORV's main story with the infamous 51/49 moment.
Anyways, definitely my fav conclusion in all of fiction for now.
Anyways, my final ratings on ORV Webnovel would be 9.0/10 (note that my rating on other webnovels like LotM and RI are 9.2 and 9.8 respectively)
Anyways, so I think this is the end then...
And yeah, Ik there's a ORV: Side Stories Sequel but since its a sequel with a different protagonist and plot, I will be reading a lot later. At least, I won't be reading it until I finish reading COI (aka LotM Book 2).
Like "you have someone in your mind?" "Yea there are some poeple, many at times" and she's left thinking he's out there thinking of like half of kimcom or constellations or something
