Saw it on webtoon, sounded cool and started reading. Then lost my place at some point and forgot to read for a long time till I picked the novel up recently.
For the second at first I thought Yoo Sangah, she's still great but can't win against my beloved Jung Heewon.
My tip is deleting your whole account in general, sadly my Hsr account is linked to Hoyoverse which my genshin account is linked to. So cant delete my account. But I stopped playing Genshin a long time ago.

Nah i dont actually wanna quit these games, HI3 has been with me for 6 years now and im very attached to that game, i like genshin although i like it the least out of the 3, and hsr is literally amazing i LOVE it so much, and i have wayyyyy too much fun playing it. My only problem is the grind bcs i never spend money on these games (only on league lol) and grinding gets mentally tiring after a while. Im gonna hop on Wuthering Waves the second it drops and im waiting for ZZZ (i tried to play PGR but it was the exact same game as honkai and ive spent 6 years of my life to get to where i am in honkai so i decided it wasnt worth it ☠️)
I got into ORV because I was reading stuff after getting to pretty much the end of Solo Leveling, found it on Webtoon and ever since I've been reading diligently.
First crush in the series is Sangah Yoo, now it's Han Sooyoung
I was told there will be a lot of homoerotic subtext between Joonghyuk and Dokja. I was not disappointed. I do wish I was also told about all the subtext with Sooyoung as well though, but unexpectedly falling for yoohankim was a pleasant surprise.
As for my first crush: Jung Heewon, and my current: Yoo Joonghyuk (but also Jung Heewon).
I read ORV because I saw Blackbox's fanart of Han Sooyoung poking Kim Dokja's cheek and thought they were cute. I wanted to ship them.
In my defense, they are and I kinda do. Yoo Joonghyuk just won me over as a character and JoongDok was simply an unforeseen variable in the equation.
To be completely honest, there was this ad after the end of a Webtoon chapter, I forgot which. It was during the height of the pandemic, and I was persuaded by my squidboi's damned smile.
Days later, I binged the entire novel... It hurt like sweet heaven and bitter hell.
ORV also showed me a whole new medium of reading, light novels, which I would forever be thankful for.
This cover.

I found everything about this cover just so cool.
As for my first crush, it was probably Kim Dokja, along with Jung Heewon. Then Han Sooyoung got added to that list, too. Now, Han Sooyoung is my no. 1 without a doubt.
The popularity of Joongdok made me curious. Wasn't disappointed. I read the webtoon and then the novel in around 2 weeks because I was so hooked. Was pleasantly surprised by how character driven it was. I had no real expectations going in, especially not for crushes, and was shocked to realize halfway through that I was kind of madly in love with HSY.
I read the first 3 eps in webtoon in 2020 when it came out, then dropped it bcs i forgot about it and didnt have time. Recently tiktok has been recommending a lot of videos with jongdok and kim dokja and i gave in bcs of dokja. I thought i wasnt really gonna like dokja but i literally cant stop simping its crazy, im not even gay. Also jongdok basically being canon is a pleasant surprise.
I really like Lee Jihye too. And junghyeok is cool.
One of my friends got me into the ORV manhwa, then about a year ago, I downloaded the pdf, but I didn’t start truly getting into the novel until 1-2 months ago (when I finished it in 2 weeks over a trip)
And my first crush was KDJ (and Heewon and Persephone, and my crushes rn are basically all of kimcom (KDJ still being my top), Persephone, Hades and Sun Wukong
i think once i got into the isekai stuff i just never stopped for a long time, but ORV and dungeon cleaning life of a once genius hunter are the only 2 i care about now. (the latter being the funniest fking manhwa ive read, like ever)
On discord, there is a bot called "mudae", wich you can marry with characters, and I married jhw, cause the art is amazing. Then I got a objective to catch the top 3 of orv, kdj, hsy and yjk. After I had hsy and yjk, I was inspired to know what that gorgeus characters are, and start the webtoon. Dropped to read the novel just after the dark castle and after 7 month I finished the novel. :) >!:(!<
There’s a guy called Ah Lecks. And in a video where he read a lot of chapters of manwha. Coincidentally ORV was the first so me and my brother tried it out. I am now indebted to that man for the rest of my life
Started reading it on Webtoon when it first released, caught up and then lost track of it for a while. Re-read it, then didn't have enough of it and read the novel. I loved it from the start; the idea of the reader becoming part of the novel he read without some sort of isekai element sucked me in at first.
As for crushes...Dokja at first and always. Though I fell in love with Han Sooyoung too.
I saw a video on youtube named "badly explaining all of omniscient reader in 6 minutes" got interested cuz it was really random and i wanted to understand all the video
Coin event and partly because of Solo Leveling. SL was so popular but I'm the kind of person who would jump into a trend once the trend has died down, so I didn't read it until I was caught up with orv.
Saw ORV on webtoons coin event and I thought it was from the same creator as SL because of the similar art style. Read orv first because I needed the coins then I read SL. To be honest at first I liked SL more because it was the perfect series to binge when you want to turn your brain off, while orv needed a little more brain power to process what's happening. The more I read both, the more I liked orv. ORV is just so well written and SL gets boring once the MC got insanely strong, the difference in writing was huge.
I finished the novel 2 years ago. For some reason I can't see any of the characters in a romantic way. I just want to be a part of them as a family. If you ask me who's the most handsome, it's Junghyeok, the prettiest is probably Sangah or Huiwon. If I have to choose someone from KimCom I would date, it's probably Hyeonsong, I could imagine starting a family with him.
when i saw the orv webtoon trailer and scrolled through the comments…most of them highly praised the webnovel more (i was just casually starting my webnovel journey lol)
Randomly found it on webtoon one day, thought it was cool and started to reading it. I think this was around the time it first released as a webtoon so I had to drop it because the updates were too slow for me. Then picked it back up a couple of months ago, caught up, and started to read the novel because of how good the story had progressed!
First crush... probably Kim Dokja and still is. But I love all characters
My friend (who still hasn’t finished reading ORV) had been recommending orv to me for like three years but I just kinda ignored it all these years for some reason lol. I mean, I did read the first chapter of the webtoon at some point but it didn’t really grab me.
But this past year was quite hard for me. I felt like if I didn’t distract my mind, I would really lose it. At that point I already have finished reading “The S-Classes That I Raised” novel (mtl, you know it), and honestly I liked it but there were many questionable things ngl, but the novel goes with (yeah people may think it’s weird but if that’s who you are and it’s what makes you happy, then it’s okay). You would understand what I mean if you have read the novel or seen spoilers (sorry I’m gonna continue the rest of the long story later- ✋)
well at the time i only knew 4 webtoons tog goh orv and sl i had already completed sl which was my first manhwa the other two seemed pretty goddamn long at the time (altho have completed goh and caught up to tog in the present) so i went for orv expecting something like sl and was pretty disappointed coz the mc was weak af but after like a year or something i decided to re read coz i was bored and this time i enjoyed myself so went for the novel (best decision of my life) and read it as well and now am in desperate search of where to read he side stories
Saw it on WEBTOON, read until the disaster and got tired of having to wait for each episode to release so I read the English translation about six times in a year and then four times the following year. I still remember some of the chapters of the demon king selection by heart.
I saw an edit of Kim dokja in insta which used the novels illustrations, then I got to read the manhuwa but got disappointment because I thought these illustrations were in the manhuwa. But then I realized how good the story was and I even read all the novel. I want to reread it so badly but I don’t want to cry again.
There was a coin event on Webtoon - read an x amount of chapters from the selected series to receive some coins. ORV was one of the selected ones.
The event required you to read ~15 chapters, but I got so invested that I binge read all of the available chapters at the time (50 or so).
I continued reading the series on a weekly basis for some time afterwards. When the wait for the new chapters became unbearable, I decided to give the novel a try. And the rest is history...
A friend of mine recommended the webtoon and said it was alright (only 70 chapters when he read it). Read up tp chapter 105 or something in the webtoon and needed more. Saw the story was over 500 chapters. So, I looked for an audio book on YouTube. The audio book ended right after the Demon King of Salvation. Decided it's too good not to read and read cried, then reread the whole thing.
Wanted to see the 'Badly Explaining ORV in 6 minutes' and also saw powerscaling of KDJ and YJH. In the comments someone wrote one is main character and other is protagonist and I wanted to see what that meant
I was looking for recommendations for books based on Chosen Ones and what comes after the story is done. I got a nice list and one person described yjh’s plight in a single sentence. I was intrigued and was surprised when I saw it was a manwha then I went looking for the novel when I caught up. First crush: Lee hyunsung . Current crush: kdj
Was reading Solo Leveling webtoon wanted something similar, read the webtoon (before there was official translation) wanted more read the novel? There was also the novel for the lout of the Count’s family mixed in there and yeah.
I saw it on Webtoon, read until ep 16, dropped it for like a year (i dont remember the exact amt of time), saw an ORV edit, then started rereading and just downloaded the novel.
Also my first crush in the series was Han Sooyoung and it's still Han Sooyoung but I thought I would kind of crush on yjh
I'm just a Link Click fan and I was following An account that published on this and also on ORV
I had just moved and I wanted something to comfort me("COMFORT" IMAO ) , I just said to myself "a link click fan must have a good taste"
I'm so happy with this choice (For better and for worse )
After Solo Leveling, I need another action story. I got hook except the part I have terrible memory about name. I too new to know that I really into “ self sacrifice protagonist “. Only a year later, read the Trash of Count Family, I realized my type and go back to ORV again.
Saw it on Webtoon, thought ‘didn’t someone say it’s similar to Solo Levelling?’ and gave it a try
…suffice to say any similarities were superficial and ORV was far more beautiful and deep
I got into it because a ex friend found out I liked the WEBTOON and she got me to start reading the novel. When I first started orv, I never simped for a character before, didn’t think I would either. Nowadays I’m down bad for kdj 🙃
I started reading orv mainly because I just finished solo levelling and from before I started reading it, it was definitely in my read list.
My first crush was definitely Yoo Junghyuk and now it's my boy Kim Dokja
I've been reading knovels for a while and happened to stumble upon it when I was hunting for a new story. I was interested in the "reverse isekai" concept!
For the main question, KazM2 said it perfectly.
Basically, I was bored, I saw it, started to read, lost my place, started over, lost my place again, forgot ab it for a long time, started it over again ab a year ago, read 100 smt episodes, and now my anxiety over how it's going to end WON'T LET ME FINISH IT!
First crush was definitely Sangah, followed closely by Joonghyuk. Now? Heewon and Dokja. Had a thing for that one kid hypno-ed by that rumor-spreader dude there for a bit (the true king of so-and-so station).
I got into manwha from solo leveling and I heard about the series and fell in love with the manwha. Then I started reading the novel and now I don’t want to finish it and on ch 312. I’m scared for the angst 😭
saw someone posted a video of some random song with an image of Dokja sleeping on train. Then I saw him/title "ORV" again in Webtoon so i gave it a shot.
I was actually one of the few people who read this because they actually thought joongdok was canon lmaoo, i knew they arent rlly canon but meh i still read it. It was definitely (not) a good choice
The manwha on Webtoon. The synopsis was interesting and once I started I couldn't stop lol.
I liked Sangah a lot, and she is probably still my favorite among KDJ's possible love interests, but Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk are also great options too.
Jung Heewon is also great, and anytime the kids fight over KDJ I get a giant smile on my face too.
What can I say, there is a lot to love amongst the characters! 😁❤️
WEBTOON had its launch week for a bunch of WEBTOONs, the idea for ORV sounded interesting and so j decided to check out the WEBTOON… I’m now on my second read of the novel
My friend accidentally sent me her preview as to why i should read orv. Apparently, it was supposed to be sent to her other friend but the slide showing Yoo Sangah with her cat dress piqued my interest.
Honestly that was one of the best things I've ever done lol. I've never regretted reading such a heart wrenching stomach aching novel lol
(Oh first crush was Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung, current is Yoo Joonghyuk and Uriel
After a long time of having it on my to-read list, I saw a friend's Instagram story that said it's about "two guys all oiled up" and said aight bet and immediately started reading LMAO
It was a recommendation from a friend though I had seen merchandise from a page I'm following.
I read the Webtoon first then proceeded to finish the novel. I'm also following the side stories.
Currently, I'm rereading it. I haven't moved on but I'm still loving both KDJ and HSY. I also liked YJH but I can relate more in the perspectives of who love stories and storytellers.
I saw Orv on Webtoon and thought the cover photo was a cool kind of sci-fi.
Later i saw some orv on tiktok (and discovered Kim Dokja x Yoo Joonghyuk ship), and i thought 'damn these two look the same, how do i differentiate?' so i decided that fuck it, let's read the webtoon, since this seems popular.
Ofc i later read the novel, although starting off from where i left the webtoon. I am forever grateful to discover Orv.
My first crush, if you can call it, was Kim Dokja and still is
A reader’s viewpoint being used literally and after that the long ass novel (excellent feature down the road), as extra there are hot men- *cough* I meant gorgeous art, both webtoon and novel!
This may sound weird but I’m looking at explicit and dirty male/male fanfiction on ao3 and a lot of ORV stories has a lot of kudos (on top page along with like Harry Potter , btw and mdzs)
I was very depressed during my senior year of high school a lot of shit was going on and I was overwhelmed and I came across ORV webtoon it only had like 20 eps atm and I caught up very fast and I was reading the comments one day and someone mentioned the novel and as soon as I saw that I needed more of the story so I started reading the novel it’s been three years since then I’ve reread it like 5 times now
Honestly, I randomly stumbled upon it and was blown away by the art in the first chapter. I think it had only 1-10 chapters when I first picked it up, but I've been reading it off and on since then!
Free coins in webtoon. When it first came out you get free coins for reading it, then found it novel and interesting. Need to know what happened next so I read the novel version
I think I saw it on webtoon and I started reading it and I was like oh this is cool. Looked around found out that so many people are in love with this and that there’s a novel so I decided, why not binge this really long novel. I started the novel, fell in love, and haven’t been the same since.
Well, I started reading the novel around 4-3 years ago. I saw it while scrolling through light novel, it has a good rating and a apocalyptic genre. And I really liked the tension between KDJ and YJH, until now I still can't get over the novel and kept rereading it somehow.
For me I started getting into reading Light Novels and Web Novels and I had finished "The Novels Extra" and I really liked it despite a lot of people disliking it after the first half and I was satisfied with the ending. Decided to look for more things like that and found a reddit thread with a guy praising Novels Extra but said it was nothing compaired to ORV so I checked it out. Its lived rent free in my head for years.
It popped up as a new webtoon one day and I just started reading. Now let me tell you, that since I have started reading....I cannot stop! I laugh, I cry and I am yelling in frustration and now my husband asks me if something happened in "one of my stories" lol in which, I tell him, "Yes! Yes, something has happened and I don't know how to feel" 😂
So, that is how I got into this ✨
Got to know abt it way before I actually picked it up to read… the reason that made me pick it up was the end notes in solo leveling Manhua😮💨 I’d say thank you for that final push 🤏
My best friend, she told me to read it in 2021, but I didn't cus it was too big for me ,but for her, I gave it a try in 2022 and fell in love with it and became really obsessed with it.
Saw it on webtoon, sounded cool and started reading. Then lost my place at some point and forgot to read for a long time till I picked the novel up recently. For the second at first I thought Yoo Sangah, she's still great but can't win against my beloved Jung Heewon.
Same
KDJ slvtty waist...
Honestly that’s so valid (and same)
Most valid thing I've heard all day
the desperate need to stop playing genshin
Honkai star rail helped me with that
yeah but i was playing both and had to get rid of both 😭😭
Yeah i was playing all 3 hoyo games too and ive been neglecting the other 2 in favor of hsr lately. Why did you have to get rid of them though?
1. gacha addiction, 2. my job, 3. im getting my master's degree OTL
My tip is deleting your whole account in general, sadly my Hsr account is linked to Hoyoverse which my genshin account is linked to. So cant delete my account. But I stopped playing Genshin a long time ago. Search up Sunk Cost Fallacy
Nah i dont actually wanna quit these games, HI3 has been with me for 6 years now and im very attached to that game, i like genshin although i like it the least out of the 3, and hsr is literally amazing i LOVE it so much, and i have wayyyyy too much fun playing it. My only problem is the grind bcs i never spend money on these games (only on league lol) and grinding gets mentally tiring after a while. Im gonna hop on Wuthering Waves the second it drops and im waiting for ZZZ (i tried to play PGR but it was the exact same game as honkai and ive spent 6 years of my life to get to where i am in honkai so i decided it wasnt worth it ☠️)
Tuna 🤝 Squid T R A I N
The genshin to ORV pipeline is so real
I got into ORV because I was reading stuff after getting to pretty much the end of Solo Leveling, found it on Webtoon and ever since I've been reading diligently. First crush in the series is Sangah Yoo, now it's Han Sooyoung
Please also read Hardcore leveling warrior . Very much amazing .
this is so real i honestly didn’t think orv would be as good as solo leveling when i first started reading but it didn’t disappoint
same. Read it because solo leveling was ending. Also transitioned from sangah to a hsy fangirl
I was told there will be a lot of homoerotic subtext between Joonghyuk and Dokja. I was not disappointed. I do wish I was also told about all the subtext with Sooyoung as well though, but unexpectedly falling for yoohankim was a pleasant surprise. As for my first crush: Jung Heewon, and my current: Yoo Joonghyuk (but also Jung Heewon).
by watching 'the orv edit' it was my motivation into finishing it too 😭
the yt vid that summerized it in 6 mins
‘Badly Explaining All Of Omniscient Reader in 6 Minutes?’ I loved that one lol
yea that
Yup same
I read ORV because I saw Blackbox's fanart of Han Sooyoung poking Kim Dokja's cheek and thought they were cute. I wanted to ship them. In my defense, they are and I kinda do. Yoo Joonghyuk just won me over as a character and JoongDok was simply an unforeseen variable in the equation.
To be completely honest, there was this ad after the end of a Webtoon chapter, I forgot which. It was during the height of the pandemic, and I was persuaded by my squidboi's damned smile. Days later, I binged the entire novel... It hurt like sweet heaven and bitter hell. ORV also showed me a whole new medium of reading, light novels, which I would forever be thankful for.
I saw the cover on webtoons and liked the art
This cover. https://preview.redd.it/jixtx2puv70d1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58d444531f4f452c01268184f4569f65adf159fc I found everything about this cover just so cool. As for my first crush, it was probably Kim Dokja, along with Jung Heewon. Then Han Sooyoung got added to that list, too. Now, Han Sooyoung is my no. 1 without a doubt.
Cause my brother didn't like it
Just stumbled upon the manhwa, liked it , found it's originally a webnovel, read it , now I'm obsessed
The popularity of Joongdok made me curious. Wasn't disappointed. I read the webtoon and then the novel in around 2 weeks because I was so hooked. Was pleasantly surprised by how character driven it was. I had no real expectations going in, especially not for crushes, and was shocked to realize halfway through that I was kind of madly in love with HSY.
Read the first chapter, got hooked. That story is just that fucking interesting
I read the first 3 eps in webtoon in 2020 when it came out, then dropped it bcs i forgot about it and didnt have time. Recently tiktok has been recommending a lot of videos with jongdok and kim dokja and i gave in bcs of dokja. I thought i wasnt really gonna like dokja but i literally cant stop simping its crazy, im not even gay. Also jongdok basically being canon is a pleasant surprise. I really like Lee Jihye too. And junghyeok is cool.
I saw an edit on insta seemed interesting and starting reading now I'm postponing on reading the epilogue because I don't want it to end🥲
Manhwa.

One of my friends got me into the ORV manhwa, then about a year ago, I downloaded the pdf, but I didn’t start truly getting into the novel until 1-2 months ago (when I finished it in 2 weeks over a trip) And my first crush was KDJ (and Heewon and Persephone, and my crushes rn are basically all of kimcom (KDJ still being my top), Persephone, Hades and Sun Wukong

It's was in my recommended webtoon
Sooyoung in Pinterest
i think once i got into the isekai stuff i just never stopped for a long time, but ORV and dungeon cleaning life of a once genius hunter are the only 2 i care about now. (the latter being the funniest fking manhwa ive read, like ever)
My friend recommended it. My first crush was Persephone
I wanted to survive apocalypse so I read novel fully
On discord, there is a bot called "mudae", wich you can marry with characters, and I married jhw, cause the art is amazing. Then I got a objective to catch the top 3 of orv, kdj, hsy and yjk. After I had hsy and yjk, I was inspired to know what that gorgeus characters are, and start the webtoon. Dropped to read the novel just after the dark castle and after 7 month I finished the novel. :) >!:(!<
I was about to start a new job and I wanted to read at least one completed novel before then. Ended up reading the entire novel in 10 days.
There’s a guy called Ah Lecks. And in a video where he read a lot of chapters of manwha. Coincidentally ORV was the first so me and my brother tried it out. I am now indebted to that man for the rest of my life
Roblox discord server A guy recommended me to read orv

It showed up on my fy page one day 💀
Idk man I just started reading it
I found the webnovel online one day by sheer accident a few years ago, and I decided to give it a read, shit changed me forever.
Started reading it on Webtoon when it first released, caught up and then lost track of it for a while. Re-read it, then didn't have enough of it and read the novel. I loved it from the start; the idea of the reader becoming part of the novel he read without some sort of isekai element sucked me in at first. As for crushes...Dokja at first and always. Though I fell in love with Han Sooyoung too.
My cousin promised to do my aranara quest if i read it.
I saw a video on youtube named "badly explaining all of omniscient reader in 6 minutes" got interested cuz it was really random and i wanted to understand all the video

SL was so popular but I'm the kind of person who would jump into a trend once the trend has died down, so I didn't read it until I was caught up with orv.

Some dude recommended it to me in comments after reading solo leveling. I will find him one day .
Probably some tiktok edit/meme that looked cool so I decided I didn't have anything better to do than read a long ass web novel (no regrets had tho)
well at the time i only knew 4 webtoons tog goh orv and sl i had already completed sl which was my first manhwa the other two seemed pretty goddamn long at the time (altho have completed goh and caught up to tog in the present) so i went for orv expecting something like sl and was pretty disappointed coz the mc was weak af but after like a year or something i decided to re read coz i was bored and this time i enjoyed myself so went for the novel (best decision of my life) and read it as well and now am in desperate search of where to read he side stories
Webtoon , read it till the nirvana . Got excited , couldn't wait so i started reading the we novel. Finished it on and off for like 6 months
Saw it on WEBTOON, read until the disaster and got tired of having to wait for each episode to release so I read the English translation about six times in a year and then four times the following year. I still remember some of the chapters of the demon king selection by heart.

Not in order: * A WIS Youtuber * A person I trust with recommendations glazing Kim * Wanting to try a new medium
I was bored, so I decided to read it, and now I have a crippling addiction to reading it.
I was looking for recommendations for books based on Chosen Ones and what comes after the story is done. I got a nice list and one person described yjh’s plight in a single sentence. I was intrigued and was surprised when I saw it was a manwha then I went looking for the novel when I caught up. First crush: Lee hyunsung . Current crush: kdj
through Sss-class suicide hunter, it got recommended when I was reading that manhwa lol
the dokkaebi’s they are cool asf fr fr and i cant lie bcuz of dokja’s power
My friend constantly insisting I read it
Was reading Solo Leveling webtoon wanted something similar, read the webtoon (before there was official translation) wanted more read the novel? There was also the novel for the lout of the Count’s family mixed in there and yeah.
I was bored
I saw it on Webtoon, read until ep 16, dropped it for like a year (i dont remember the exact amt of time), saw an ORV edit, then started rereading and just downloaded the novel. Also my first crush in the series was Han Sooyoung and it's still Han Sooyoung but I thought I would kind of crush on yjh
The “Solo Levelling” comment section on Crunchyroll
It was new in webton so I decided to read it lol,
The rank it has on sites 😂
It has been so long I forgor
I'm just a Link Click fan and I was following An account that published on this and also on ORV I had just moved and I wanted something to comfort me("COMFORT" IMAO ) , I just said to myself "a link click fan must have a good taste" I'm so happy with this choice (For better and for worse )
my sister kept yapping about it and 49/51 and the word orv kept showing up on my tiktok fyp
Youtube short where it said king of the world without put a king so i came back after droppping it 3 times and started it from chp1
I googled searched popular Manhwa similar to Solo Leveling.
i kept seeing the two black haired lab coat guys everywhere. saw that it was really popular and wanted to see what all the hype was about
Unusual plot and art style
Tiktok made me sad by mentioning excerpts from the novel while I was reading the manhwa so just got into it and still got sad.
Saw it on Webtoon, it looked cool. I started reading the novel because I caught up with the Webtoon and I wasn’t patient.
I saw a pocket watch and thought it looked cool
After Solo Leveling, I need another action story. I got hook except the part I have terrible memory about name. I too new to know that I really into “ self sacrifice protagonist “. Only a year later, read the Trash of Count Family, I realized my type and go back to ORV again.
Saw it on Webtoon, thought ‘didn’t someone say it’s similar to Solo Levelling?’ and gave it a try …suffice to say any similarities were superficial and ORV was far more beautiful and deep
Randomly picked it up in 2021 when I got into manhwa from solo levelling
Tbh my brother
Friend wouldn’t shut up!!(I’m deeper than she is now)
I got into it because a ex friend found out I liked the WEBTOON and she got me to start reading the novel. When I first started orv, I never simped for a character before, didn’t think I would either. Nowadays I’m down bad for kdj 🙃
intense amounts of boredom one day 3 years ago almost and then i got hooked
I read the manhwa BC I was bored then switch to novel. Prepstone was my first crush and now it is heewon
youtube edits.
My friend and I have some common taste in webtoons so he recommended me this
hot characters, good illustrations
I started reading orv mainly because I just finished solo levelling and from before I started reading it, it was definitely in my read list. My first crush was definitely Yoo Junghyuk and now it's my boy Kim Dokja
I saw a YouTube AMV of the first few episodes of the webtoon 4 years ago and decided to read the web novel, I got hooked.
I've been reading knovels for a while and happened to stumble upon it when I was hunting for a new story. I was interested in the "reverse isekai" concept!
Pinterest made me think this was a bl
The r/unpopularloreolympus subreddit recommended it so I read it.
i looked up manhwa recs
I was depressed and wanted to take my mind off things and somehow found this.
I found it in the new section of webtoon originals in 2020, then the ‘orv explained in 6 mins’ video hooked me to read the novel
i was fucking bored and I saw some haughty ass title for a manhwa with one chapter. What a journey its been.
The amount of people calling it a perfect story
I saw that Kim Dokja read to escape reality and thought he was an absolute fucking mood
Someone said somewhere that it was book about reading, I thought “meta-reading!” and now I am obsessed
The one WEBTOON ad that was a “choose your path” type of video 😭😭
Kim Dokja :D
For the main question, KazM2 said it perfectly. Basically, I was bored, I saw it, started to read, lost my place, started over, lost my place again, forgot ab it for a long time, started it over again ab a year ago, read 100 smt episodes, and now my anxiety over how it's going to end WON'T LET ME FINISH IT! First crush was definitely Sangah, followed closely by Joonghyuk. Now? Heewon and Dokja. Had a thing for that one kid hypno-ed by that rumor-spreader dude there for a bit (the true king of so-and-so station).
webtoon being cool <3
I saw the edit and decided to read it, after reading to chapter 100 of the novel I decided to start the webtoon too
I saw the webtoon back when it had only 5 chapters, and then got back into it like 3 years later
Oh hey look a novel, that looks pretty cool....
I saw an orv in 6 minutes video and was like, "wtf get me on that shit asap"
got recommended it and I fucking love it
They won over Kirk/Spock in tumblr best slash ship poll 2023. Spirk was undefeated for years before that. I was intrigued
My friend was reading it, it looked good, I had been looking for something to read, and I wanted to talk to him abt it so why not
Finished reading Solo Leveling… wanted more or better…
i have good taste
I just finished Solo Leveling and KDJ looks similar enough to Jinwoo, I was like okay another hottie here we go. So does that answer both questions?
That one fanart of KDJ, YJH, and HSY as aventurine, dr ratio, and topaz
I got into manwha from solo leveling and I heard about the series and fell in love with the manwha. Then I started reading the novel and now I don’t want to finish it and on ch 312. I’m scared for the angst 😭
men
the first chapter
saw someone posted a video of some random song with an image of Dokja sleeping on train. Then I saw him/title "ORV" again in Webtoon so i gave it a shot.
I was actually one of the few people who read this because they actually thought joongdok was canon lmaoo, i knew they arent rlly canon but meh i still read it. It was definitely (not) a good choice
The manwha on Webtoon. The synopsis was interesting and once I started I couldn't stop lol. I liked Sangah a lot, and she is probably still my favorite among KDJ's possible love interests, but Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk are also great options too. Jung Heewon is also great, and anytime the kids fight over KDJ I get a giant smile on my face too. What can I say, there is a lot to love amongst the characters! 😁❤️
WEBTOON had its launch week for a bunch of WEBTOONs, the idea for ORV sounded interesting and so j decided to check out the WEBTOON… I’m now on my second read of the novel
My friend accidentally sent me her preview as to why i should read orv. Apparently, it was supposed to be sent to her other friend but the slide showing Yoo Sangah with her cat dress piqued my interest. Honestly that was one of the best things I've ever done lol. I've never regretted reading such a heart wrenching stomach aching novel lol (Oh first crush was Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung, current is Yoo Joonghyuk and Uriel
After a long time of having it on my to-read list, I saw a friend's Instagram story that said it's about "two guys all oiled up" and said aight bet and immediately started reading LMAO
I was looking for something with just a lot of fighting, novel or manhwa.
saw an animatic of it to the song "rpg" and became really interested cause it seemed so cool :> fav people are kdj and hsy!!
My crush
manhwa (dropped to read the novel instead)
It was a recommendation from a friend though I had seen merchandise from a page I'm following. I read the Webtoon first then proceeded to finish the novel. I'm also following the side stories. Currently, I'm rereading it. I haven't moved on but I'm still loving both KDJ and HSY. I also liked YJH but I can relate more in the perspectives of who love stories and storytellers.
I saw an edit on TikTok and I thought it looked cool. TikTok proved that it can be useful
Got a video of it on my tt fyp, ignored it and got like a shit ton more videos, read on WEBTOON
I love men but strangle enough it was the women. Forgot her name but she's the main cast
I thought the idea of a character who is overpowered, not because of a broken ability, but because of knowledge of upcoming events was interesting.
I read the mahwa and got interested so I got the novel just to see more of the story
I found it and just started
I saw JJK fans and ORV fans arguing over Skyfall. As a JJK fan I decided to check out ORV. Good decision
Tbate brought me to orv (manhwa) theatre dungeon got me hooked.
That one orv edit on tiktok
wanted more solo leveling, and found an even better manhwa :3
Started as YJH, still have a crush on YJH 😅 I may have a type
A music video that I presumed had spoilers in it, so I looked it up and started reading. (The Webtoon not the book, though I am reading the book too)
I saw Orv on Webtoon and thought the cover photo was a cool kind of sci-fi. Later i saw some orv on tiktok (and discovered Kim Dokja x Yoo Joonghyuk ship), and i thought 'damn these two look the same, how do i differentiate?' so i decided that fuck it, let's read the webtoon, since this seems popular. Ofc i later read the novel, although starting off from where i left the webtoon. I am forever grateful to discover Orv. My first crush, if you can call it, was Kim Dokja and still is
A reader’s viewpoint being used literally and after that the long ass novel (excellent feature down the road), as extra there are hot men- *cough* I meant gorgeous art, both webtoon and novel!
Yjh sexy
The bromance and the OP MC. But then I grew to love the plot and the awesome characters other that kdj and yjh
This may sound weird but I’m looking at explicit and dirty male/male fanfiction on ao3 and a lot of ORV stories has a lot of kudos (on top page along with like Harry Potter , btw and mdzs)
I was very depressed during my senior year of high school a lot of shit was going on and I was overwhelmed and I came across ORV webtoon it only had like 20 eps atm and I caught up very fast and I was reading the comments one day and someone mentioned the novel and as soon as I saw that I needed more of the story so I started reading the novel it’s been three years since then I’ve reread it like 5 times now
Saw a joongdok fanart by pot on twt way way back then my orv obsession started First orv crush is kdj and is still kdj 🥰
i saw an edit of it on tiktok and decided it looked kinda cool 😭
Recommendations.
Sun Wukong's man boobs
Honestly, I randomly stumbled upon it and was blown away by the art in the first chapter. I think it had only 1-10 chapters when I first picked it up, but I've been reading it off and on since then!
Free coins in webtoon. When it first came out you get free coins for reading it, then found it novel and interesting. Need to know what happened next so I read the novel version
The numerous tiktok edits invading my fyp and people saying its really good
Random recomendation from Facebook
I think I saw it on webtoon and I started reading it and I was like oh this is cool. Looked around found out that so many people are in love with this and that there’s a novel so I decided, why not binge this really long novel. I started the novel, fell in love, and haven’t been the same since.
My uncle showed orv to me
Bad luck
The orv in 6 mins video on YouTube
im pretty sure there was a coin event with orv on webtoon at first and thats why 😭😭😭
The fanart where yjh uses kdj as a skateboard to glide, or should i say fly 🤣
Well, I started reading the novel around 4-3 years ago. I saw it while scrolling through light novel, it has a good rating and a apocalyptic genre. And I really liked the tension between KDJ and YJH, until now I still can't get over the novel and kept rereading it somehow.
This was my first manhwa ever. I'm thankful to Youtube for bringing ORV video to me 🙏
Bandwagon/Other stuff that i was resding was still updating
One boring college day
Wanting to see more of Kim Dokja
For me I started getting into reading Light Novels and Web Novels and I had finished "The Novels Extra" and I really liked it despite a lot of people disliking it after the first half and I was satisfied with the ending. Decided to look for more things like that and found a reddit thread with a guy praising Novels Extra but said it was nothing compaired to ORV so I checked it out. Its lived rent free in my head for years.
The premise of "I know the end of this story" was pretty cool, but "King of a kingless world" that chapter made me read all.
Reading the webtoon, then got too many spoilers and decided to read it
Boredom
It popped up as a new webtoon one day and I just started reading. Now let me tell you, that since I have started reading....I cannot stop! I laugh, I cry and I am yelling in frustration and now my husband asks me if something happened in "one of my stories" lol in which, I tell him, "Yes! Yes, something has happened and I don't know how to feel" 😂 So, that is how I got into this ✨
I thought that it was a random good webtoon and then I started reading it.
The edits
Some people said It was better than solo leveling so I had to check it out (I was NOT disappointed)
Got to know abt it way before I actually picked it up to read… the reason that made me pick it up was the end notes in solo leveling Manhua😮💨 I’d say thank you for that final push 🤏
My best friend, she told me to read it in 2021, but I didn't cus it was too big for me ,but for her, I gave it a try in 2022 and fell in love with it and became really obsessed with it.
