Why read?

Omniscient First-Person's Viewpoint (전지적 1인칭 시점) is a unique web novel that sets itself apart in the popular regression and fantasy genre. The story revolves around a protagonist who is unjustly imprisoned in Tantalus, a prison for the worst criminals. The twist is that the main character is a con artist who gains the ability to read minds. Upon meeting a regressor, he discovers not only that he will die in a year, but also that the world is set to end in ten years.

The novel stands out due to its smart, manipulative protagonist. Instead of relying on brute strength, the main character uses wit, manipulation, and his mind-reading ability to navigate complex situations, adding a layer of psychological intrigue. This focus on outsmarting opponents, coupled with light-hearted and comedic character interactions, makes it a refreshing take in a genre often dominated by overpowered heroes and repetitive tropes​.

The story's pacing is another highlight, moving between character development in the early prison arcs to broader world-building once the protagonist escapes. Rather than info-dumping, the world-building is gradual, providing the reader with an immersive experience that avoids feeling overly complicated​. The small cast of characters—consisting of a regressor, a vampire, and the 'Dog King'—creates a tightly knit narrative full of witty interactions and growing tension, which some may find charming​.

While there is potential for a harem setup, it is not rushed, allowing relationships to develop naturally without overt focus on romantic tension​ (솔다비의 다락방).

However, those looking for action-heavy plots might find the focus on psychological strategy and character relationships a slower burn. Overall, Omniscient First-Person's Viewpoint is a well-written, clever novel perfect for readers who enjoy psychological depth and smart protagonists rather than conventional power fantasies.
