Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

I, a mere con artist, was unjustly imprisoned in Tantalus, the Abyssal Prison meant for the most nefarious of criminals, where I met a regressor.

But when I used my ability to read her mind, I found out that I was fated to die in a year…

and that the world would end 10 years later.

Thus, I disguised myself as the new prison warden of this abandoned Abyssal prison, sent by the State to manage and educate the Regressor, the Queen of Vampires, and the Dog King, all to ensure my survival!

Why read?

Omniscient First-Person's Viewpoint (전지적 1ģøģ¹­ ģ‹œģ ) 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​ (ģ†”ė‹¤ė¹„ģ˜ ė‹¤ė½ė°©).

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.

    Honestly really good translations. Sometimes the pronouns are wrong but it's a very simple thing to read through. Story is addicting and I'm super glad this was picked up. Kim is someone who I haven't read their translations but honestly great. Started since I realized Solee was translating and didn't even notice the switch.

        Super glad you're enjoying the book! I really put my heart into the translation, trying to keep the author’s vibe and tone alive. I’ll be more careful with the character’s gender going forward—sometimes I just get a bit mixed up ā€˜cause I’m cranking through so many chapters every day. Appreciate you pointing it outšŸ’•

    One of the best books I have ever read. If you were on the fence about trying it, give it a shot, and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I am
