This novel is good but I just gotta ask this question. So since the mc read the entire novel and know what will happen in the story right? But see from my POV, him transmigrating into that world will cause ripples that will change the story from the one he already knows, basically the butterfly effect. Plus in my opinion, every novel there ever was will focus on the main leads and main support characters and vice versa to the antagonists. However, this will not make the mc of this novel omniscient. For those that read my comment, please don’t be offended if you are because I just like to voice out the flaws and doubts I find, thus my username.

LIKEwell you are correct and lately that has been showed but at the same time due to the scenarios it can't be changed by that much and it's say he knows the end of that world but that doesn't mean that the way to get to it is the same as before he says himself he's making the ending he wants that's why it's like that (btw I am not offended just stating what has happened basically)
Hello! Thats a great point! I dont know how fae you've read at this point, but once you get towards and past thr 100s chapters the author begins addressing this issue. The ML Dokja suggests as wells as flat out says the situations are changing from the expected and he needs to adjust for those unexpected situations (this begins to happen once you get in the 100s, though that situation does appear earlier) and the side character Disaster Shin Yoosung comments on this multiple times in her scene. I had these exact same doubts as I read the book, but the immersive plot and great characters kept me reading to the point when the author has begun addressing those concerns!
He's read dozens, even hundred of variations of each scenario, basicaly every recursion of the protagonist, so most changes are still taken into account and somehow he can manage to keep up. But his goal is to change the scenarios, not replay them, so he knows at some point he won't know what happens next. Not a flaw, just a flawed character trying his best. I woulnd't even say his cheats are OP. But that's what I like best about this novel. Real struggles, meaningful victories, heartbreaking defeats, but always going forward to a better tomorrow.
You're correct. The title of Omniscient Reader comes from the phrase "omniscient reader's viewpoint", which is a type of narration used in some novels, where the thoughts of all characters are described, not just the protagonist's. It fits the general meta & literary references themes of OR. It doesn't mean that KDJ himself is omniscient.
Well, the "original story" into which he is transmigrating is already pretty fcked up, its a reincarnation story (the protag relives the same events again and again with memories of his previous attempts), the reincarnator protag is messing with his own timeline way harder than the transmigrating Reader. So, in a way - yes, Reader will disrupt events, but its not too serious of a problem since there's too much chaos already happening.
Jon_Camacho:I think the title of the novel has more to do with his ability. Also i know this comment is old and you prob ly have already reached the conclusion of the novel so it should make more sense once more of the world is explained.
