A recent leak claimed that the webtoon written by Sing N Song and illustrated by Sleepy-C , “Omniscient Reader“, will have an anime adaptation. The information is not yet confirmed and it should be noted that he did not reveal more information.
The franchise originally began as a web novel written by the
creative duo Sing N Song, which became extremely popular among the
reading community in South Korea. Since February 2020, one day after the
conclusion of the novels, a webtoon adaptation by Sleepy-C in Redice Studio is in publication. The webtoon has achieved a
great level of popularity in South Korea and, thanks to the translations, the
rest of the world.
Synopsis of the Omniscient Reader
Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Living up to the name his parents gave him, he is a lonely person whose only hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yoo Joonghyuk, the protagonist of the novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). Through Joonghyuk, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly going back in time, seeking an end to the life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of divine “Constellations.”
After reading 3,149 chapters - long after all other
readers lost interest - Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending.
However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author in which he informs
him that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go
dark. He quickly realizes that fiction has become reality and that he is now
living through TWSA. Although he is the only omniscient reader of the events to
come, his success on the stage is not guaranteed, but perhaps his advantage
will allow him to assume the leading role that he has never before been given.
