Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy

Painfully bad

I want my money back. This was painful to watch. Non readers cant even understand it, it lacks so much context and would be confusing for ppl who havent read the novel. It sucks, thats all.
Now, this movie in the perspective of a reader, also sucks. The story is all over the place, doesn't follow the original plot, cgi and cinematography is so painfully average (one might even say bad) for a movie that has a big budget. Even so, it seems like they used that budget for the actors, but was that good? No, not really. They couldnt capture the character's vibe and aura well. It was a waste of space, time, and money. Just give up already

WORST ADAPTION

I’m honestly disappointed with what’s supposed to be an “adaptation.” This version completely strips away the soul of the original work. Watching Kim Dokja lose all his presence and depth was exhausting, and it’s hard to believe the production team even glanced at the source material. If this is what you call an adaptation, then honestly, even Wattpad fanfictions have done a better job respecting the core of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.

Let’s talk about the inconsistencies. The Kim Dokja portrayed here feels like a stranger. He would never say “this novel is the worst”—that line alone already betrays his entire worldview. And what’s with the firearms? Both Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk have extensive knowledge of their world; they would absolutely know better than to use weapons that don’t work.

And one very important trait: Kim Dokja doesn't save people out of kindness. He saves them if, and only if, they serve a purpose in his plan. That’s who he is—calculated, practical, and always thinking several steps ahead.

All these overlooked details make the story feel like a shallow shell of what it could’ve been. It’s not just about “changing things for the screen” it’s about losing the essence that made the original story powerful.

It is so bad I wanna give you a 0. But that’s not possible, so i give you a 1.

Never direct again bro because what the hell is this? First it was the labubu bihyoung, then the guns, then now Kim Dokja’s entire character, trauma, motivations, what kept him ALIVE is ruined. There was much potential to make a good live action, but you decided to make this instead. A disappointment, soulless, Ai generated like script that you shove into our faces and think we’d like? The only people who give 10 stars are bots, kdrama fans and blinks. No sensible person who has read one chapter of orv would like this. Honestly I’m so glad that this is flopping. But thanks for ruining the story Kim Dokja loved, that WE loved. I hope you flop so badly that you don’t produce another trashy movie with ORV’s name on it. You’ve already ruined its reputation.

A*s movie

THIS WHOLE MOVIE IS JUST RAGE BAITING FOR ALL THE ORV NOVEL, MANHWA FANS. The whole movie is straight out disrespecting the Author and the novel itself. They should just make as "inspired by ORV" rather making it as Life Action. The novel itself is NOT suitable for Life Action. From the casting, I know I have a bad feeling for this movie. The casting most of it are just NOT. No offense for the actor and actress, I like them but they are not suitable for the characters. The more information I get from the movie , the more disappointed I felt. What do you mean using gun??? . The director using an actress fame just to get other watching this stuff. Even dokja would wake up and start dissing this movie. They would be so disappointed. MY DOKJA DID NOT SACRIFICE himself for this.

ONE OF THE WORST ADAPTATIONS OUT THERE

This LA was made by stripping away the soul, message, complexity, themes and symbolism of the beloved Novel ORV
It's sooo bad! As an adaptation it has so no similarities to the story expect for the names of the character and a little bit of power system, the characters are absolutely butchered!!
Goated KDJ's character, traits, skills and backstory is ineptly adapted, made him a saint, a fccking saint?? When he's clearly a morally grey character
Orvla kdj is stupid, idiotic, impulsive and perpetrator who indirectly caused someone's demise, hes all panicking before YJH and in 1st scenario like be frr reading a novel for 10yrs and u didnt think of it before? Where is his calmness, smart, calculative, strategic thinking? His snarky and annoying traits? His quick thinking?
YJH doesnt even feel like protagonist, him using guns is sooo dumb he's regressed multiple times so ofc he would know guns are useless, why does he have multiple swords? Why is his screentime less?
Ysh is a healer why? In novel YSH is kind but ruthless when wanted, understanding but can be dangerous, she is empathetic, has high emotional intelligence, has good ppl and managing skills, is veryy smart! Highly intelligent, a hardworker, knows multiple languages, has historical knowledge,
Ntm Making her a healer through adriadne's web is sooo unnecessary, she is not lee seolhwa!!
Jhw has two daggers?? Even tho she knows kendo and has sword in novel? Why remove the implied S.A. scene in movie? Afraid to piss off Korean men? Srsly? Also made Kim Dokja's mom Lee Sookyung a widow? Instead a women who is a survivor of domestic abuse?
We can see who this movie is made for
Jihye, well im tired of complaining bout the drastic changes made to her character w her not being her bratty self, having a gun when she should be having a sword with Yi Sunshin as her constellation, speciality in sea/ocean battles omfg.... i just cant
Not a single character done good in this la, even Lee hyunsung, Lee gilyoung, Gong pildu, cheon inho have flaws and dont make sense with the novel
Even as a movie, this is so bad, cuz orvla kdj's personality doesnt make sense, dumb director is trying to potray him as saviour of world? As a saint but wasnt he the one to indirectly cause the demise of other kid?
The CGI is cheap cuz the budget was spent on the actors

Promoting this LA which is unfortunately an adaptation of a beloved novel ORV whose themes are clearly against AI and Capitalism - it was a turn off for the fandom is who very much against the use of AI

Other themes of LOVE is also potrayed with flaws, the relationship between Tls123 and Kim Dokja is ruined, Kim dokja and Yoo joonghyuk dont have kuch chemistry and screentime together
The love kim dokja has for twsa is also ruined by this good for nothing LA
HE LOVES TWSA! Why would he say the novel is worst to tls123?
WHERE THE HELL IS HAN SOOYOUNG good thing she isnt here, her character would be butchered too

Another theme being feminism, well ofc SK would be pissed off with this theme haha
YSH being burdened with her family telling her to marry, her being the target of sexual assault in the male dominated workplace, ended up giving her the "healer" skill which is usually given to wome cuz they cant apparently be intelligent and use weapons and more skillfull than a man
Jung heewon almost being graped, they erased it
And how dare jihye receive the blessings of yi sunshin a historical figure??? A teen girl, a girl! receiving his stigma? And use swords? Ofc they removed it Haha
Lee sookyung not being a survivor of domesic abuse but being a widow says a lot

Not my ORV

I've never saw a live action being this DISRESPECTFUL.If I could erase this movie from existence I would with no regret, I hope this sh*tty *ss director never dare to do a second movie
The story is literally not the same AT ALL ? the mischaracterisation ??
Yoo Sangah being a healer ? What the actual f*ck ?? Yoo Sangah is a strong woman who would not hesitate to kill if she has too
Bihyung being a labubu instead of a dokkaebi, justice for Bihyung
Lee Jihye holding a sniper ? In ORV it's clearly stated that gun or anything like that is USELESS in their apocalyptic world, the author even said it, swords are the most effective weapon in ORV
Kim Dokja being a bully?? Trashtalking TWSA the novel who saved his life ?? Kim Dokja being a writer when his name literally means " READER " ??? Kim Dokja having no Fourth Wall ? No Bookmark ? These are literally his most important skills ?? Kim Dokja communicating with TLS123 ?? Kim Dokja reviving Yoo Joonghyuk?? What is happening in this sh*itty movie ??
Jung Heewon being SA'd was not even mentioned, the just cut out the scene, it's disgusting
And the dialogue ?? Nothing is the same
This is just a trash movie who deserves nothing, a disappointment, a failure, a flop, a fiasco, catastrophic, good for nothing, a waste of time, garbage, a junk movie
If I could use all the synonyms of trash I would do it
I recommend reading the novel or the manwha of ORV to see of f*cked up this live action is

DON'T WATCH THIS SHI

If you're in for the story just read the novel or webtoon instead because this shi changed everything from the original story to the point it's not recognizable anymore. The CGI is bad, the lines are bad, the very "ADAPTATION" is bad. They butchered my favorite novel and I refuse to acknowledge this as "Omniscient Reader" blergh. I gave 2 stars out of respect for the actors but that's it, just read the novel instead. ( I am not A b o t just saying in case those insensitive people accuse me as one😝, I created accounts across different sites just to rate this one star, that's how bad this movie is and mind you a lot of ORV fans are doings this and again, that's how bad this shi is;> )

Discomfort due to the lack of respect

This guy must be a hater of the original story. Since when does Kim Dokja hate TWSA and act like a hero? Since when is Sangah a healer? That role belonged to Seolhwa! Where are my four crazy constellation girls from the beginning?

The result of this adaptation is clearly a lack of respect toward those who came to watch it—whether for the novel or for the actors. They made both sides fight and criticize each other, when the real problem is the director.

If you're a fan of either side and truly support the actors or the original work, stop watching this or giving it a good rating. Otherwise, you're just showing that your story or your favorite actor is something that can be stepped on like it's worthless.

Don't watch it, just read the original novel

This movie is god awful and if I could, I'd give it a 0/10 but alas, it has to be a 1/10.

They changed the very core of the story AND the characters. Like, if you just wanted to make a loose adaptation of the original, then at least make it better? It's not even good as just a standalone film with cheap looking CGI and poor acting. Money was definitely spent on just getting big name actors.

They took out everything that ORV stands for. Changed SO many backgrounds of all the characters. Like Kim Dokja is not a savior. He's a suicidal calculative guy who will do this to his advantage. And then them completely changing his background just to fit their own narrative? Way to take away from who he is. He's a lover of TWSA, a fan of this book and literally survived for 13 years because of this book! It's what kept him going through life. I mean the start of the opening was already b ad so I'm not surprised it's just trash.

Anyways, don't waste your time watching this or spending your money on it. Save your money, let it go to doom so they don't even attempt a second movie.

Read the original source.

This is the worst they ruined a masterpiece

I would like to express my deep disappointment regarding the recent adaptation, which, in my opinion, does not reflect the essence of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint (ORV) at all. With all due respect to the cast whom I genuinely admire my frustration lies not with their performances, but with the way the adaptation has significantly altered the source material.
ORV is a beloved masterpiece, cherished by many readers, myself included. I first encountered this novel during my first year of high school, and now, as a college student, it continues to hold a special place in my heart. To see such a treasured story transformed beyond recognition is truly disheartening.
The extensive changes made in the adaptation stray so far from the original plot and characterizations that it no longer feels like ORV in any meaningful sense. It would have been more appropriate to present this project as a separate, original story rather than labeling it an adaptation of ORV. Calling it such does a disservice to the original work and its devoted fanbase. Watching the trailer left me feeling disillusioned and upset. This adaptation lacks the heart and integrity of the novel we came to love. I sincerely hope that future productions will treat the source material with the respect and authenticity it deserves.
