During the Anime Expo 2024 event ,
it was officially announced that the webtoon written by Sing N Song and
illustrated by Sleepy-C , “ Omniscient
Reader ,” will have an anime adaptation. The statement did not
reveal production details or a scheduled release date, but did list that
Crunchyroll is involved in the production.
The franchise originally began as a web novel
written by 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 at Redice
Studio is in publication. The webtoon has achieved a great level of
popularity in South Korea and, thanks to translations, the rest of the world.
Synopsis of 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.
