Sing Shong’s Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a true standout in the manhwa medium and has rightfully earned its place as a fan favorite. With its apocalyptic setting, interesting cast of characters, and pulse-pounding battles, it's no wonder it holds such a prominent position.
One thing that sets this manhwa apart from the rest is the sheer strength of its characters. From the cunning protagonist to the powerhouse villains, the characters in this series are forces to be reckoned with. This article will take a deep dive into some of the most powerful characters in Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and explore what makes them so great.
10 Gong Pildu
This middle-aged antagonist turned ally first appeared in the 28th chapter of the story. He is also called the Armament Lord of Chungmuro and works with Kim Dokja in his company, providing defense for the main base.
Pildu is great at creating monopolies with his ability called Militarized Zone Barrier. This skill allows him to prevent intruders from getting through by surrounding himself with protective turrets. It is this ability that makes his role as the Landlord Alliance leader difficult to question. He is also skilled at weapons training.
9 Lee Hyunsung
Lee Hyunsung is another character who works with Kim Dokja. With a military background as an army lieutenant, he displays expected characteristics like bluntness, good teamwork, persistence, patience, and loyalty.
Lee Hyunsung has an ability called ‘Great Mountain Push’, which causes his muscles to expand while pushes at an object with intensity. He also has another ability called the ‘Great Mountain Smash’ which is similar to the first one, except that it increases his strength and helps him destroy objects to which he applies the power. He also has the ability to become a body of steel.
8 Han Donghoon
Han Donghoon manifests his strength in a more mental approach as opposed to a physical one. As a human internet, he has the power to grant others access and also affect the information in circulation, either by propagating it or changing it. He is called the Hermit King of Shadows for his need to remain in his own space and often refusing to communicate with words.
His skill, Wide Area Internet, is a very useful one, and it led to Lee Sungkook hypnotizing him and the Prophets taking advantage of him.
7 Han Sooyoung
A strategic and manipulative character, Han Sooyoung is important to the story, playing the role of an ally to Kim Dokja. Although she rarely has contingencies if something should go wrong, she always has a good plan for any purpose.
Dedicated to her goals and desires, Han Sooyoung is willing to do anything to make them happen. She can be ruthless, and willing to kill where necessary. She’s also skilled at pretending to be who she’s not. She pretended to be the ‘Fake King’ so she could get the Four Yin Demon Decapitator sword. She also infiltrated groups and stole jewels using several avatars.
6 Lee Jihye
Former high school student Lee Jihye also works with Kim Dokja’s company. She is well known for surviving a scenario by resorting to strangling her best friend, an action that she carries with her in the form of pain and regret.
Lee Jihye is a bold character, quick to embrace fights, especially when frightened or enraged. This is not a rare occurrence given her short temper. To fight, she uses a katana, and this has led to her being called a samurai. She is specifically skilled at sword training and demon slaying.
5 Yoo Sangah
A colleague of Kim Dokja, Yoo Sangah is a beautiful character whose outlook changes from warm to cool whenever she’s in deep thought. During the events of Main Scenario 10, Yoo Sangah decided to get stronger. This led to her signing with Olympus to gain strength.
Yoo Sangah is skilled at fighting with daggers and using quick movements to overwhelm an opponent. She also has an ability called the ‘Hermes Walking Method’ which gives her the power to move through air and land as though she has winged feet.
4 Jung Heewon
Jung Heewon is called the sword of Kim Dokja’s party for good reason. Dokja discovered her in a store and found her interesting, and added her to his team. She then becomes a vital member, initially skillfully wielding a wooden katana before she eventually gets a real sword.
Her ability is called ‘Judge of Destruction’, and it makes her strong enough to defeat anyone she considers an enemy. She also possesses demon slaying and god slaying abilities, which also increase her power when facing anyone with greater strength.
3 Anna Croft
American prophet and leader of the Zarathustra organization, Anna Croft has the power to see the future, although this power excludes Kim Dokja’s future. She also has the power to affect others’ minds and consciousness.
Croft is a complicated character, driven by her desire to save the world. On this quest, she endangers those she cares about while also offering them protection. She is determined and willing to do anything it takes to meet her goal, even if it means sacrificing a few. The main victim of her strength is Yoo Joonghyuk, who she turns into a rival.
2 Yoo Joonghyuk
Yoo Joonghyuk is no stranger to death. He has come back from the dead many times to restart his life as a new regression. Because of this, he is known as a regressor. Coupled with another ability called ‘Transmission’, he can still hold the abilities from an older version of himself.
He also possesses the sage’s eye, which reveals secrets about others to him. He can also take the appearance of a giant, increase his speed, walk on air, cancel any thought infection used by an opponent, and even resist temperature changes.
1 Kim Dokja
Kim Dokja is undoubtedly the most powerful character in the story, used as a point of reference for the other characters. His titular skill, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, renders characters basically naked to him, every thought, plan, or feeling exposed.
After gaining a deep understanding of characters, he can then copy parts of their skills that he wishes to, using a skill known as ‘Bookmark’. This ability has given him many of the powers and skills possessed by other characters, with the exception of characters like Han Sooyoung, Lee Gilyoung, and Yoo Sangah.
