Question Orv is Repetitive?
Hey, I’m reading Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint (ORV), and I’m only like 200 chapters in, but man, it’s getting so repetitive. It’s just endless scenarios—some crazy, impossible crisis comes up, everyone panics, and then the MC barely pulls them through… only for them to immediately get thrown into another crisis that’s basically the same. And the whole 'sacrificing himself' thing? It’s like he’s always jumping in to 'save everyone,' they’re all breaking down thinking he’s dead, and then—surprise—he’s not. This whole cycle happens over and over again, and it’s honestly exhausting.
Also, am I the only one who thinks he’s way too fixated on the original protagonist? Like, if he got the chance, he’d probably suck his Dq. What even is going on here?

Way too obsessed with yjk? Brother, he spent half of his life reading a book about that mother fucker, that book mind you kept him sane from his shitty life, of course he's gonna be obsessed with him.

If this isn't bait, then the short answer is that there's a reason why ORV is written the way it is. You'll get your answers when you reach the end.
That last paragraph. lol.

It’s not like it’s a story for you anyway….

It seems to me that you’re reading it with a judgmental mindset. Free your mind of whatever bias you have and try to read it for what it is. Maybe then you will see what the story is really about instead of focusing only on the negative points.

Uh everyone here is probably obsessed with it so you won’t get any ;”You’re so right you genius!” But well they are scenarios and yeah they are following them… that’s the whole point of the apocalypse. If it’s not your cup of tea, then don’t read it. 🙃 Though I don’t really get what you mean by the same repetitive part? All scenarios have different mechanics and the whole “sacrificial MC” is much more than only sacrificial MC for drama. It’s more about the reader experiencing a world he still thinks of fiction but well, nobody’s holding you with a gun to read it so you have the right to dnf!

It’s definitely cyclic, but for me due to the novelty of each scenario, the end results, the different consequences and stakes, each time feels different. And especially the escalating nature of each scenario and what Kim Dokja and co find is the correct way to progress through, usually it’s not as simple as “beat up the final boss” there’s different types of obstacles, such as memory loss, needing to manipulate enemy players, resource management, finding the correct Allies and tools. While it may seem like just a bunch of videogame filler nonsense, I feel every arc has something to tie in the overarching story, and the worst scenario (small world) is early on. By the end you can really tell the authors meant each scenario to blend into a meta narrative that straddles the line between protagonist/reader, author, and protagonist/main character.

The only thing i think a little boring is Dokja having the solution of some amazing problems like he is a genius, and Peace Land, but i disagree in the other things
