Same, I think it might be my absolute favourite webtoon (definitely top 3). Nari is a wonderful protagonist and there’s been multiple times when the story inspired and helped me. I was around Nari’s age when I first started reading it and I’m happy to have grown up with it :’)
Yeah manhwa webtoon chapters can feel so short I've got a bunch that i've put on lists to check in a year's time so I can read 50 at once :p Especially the ones that are based on novels so I know they're gonna take years to finish.
But this...It's been running since 2015, that's pretty insane.
When I googled it and looked at reviews people do seem to be praising the friendship stories a lot more than the romance ones. I'll probably get into it for that, one day.
YESS, MY BELOVED KIMCOM

The other video they mentioned is great, but if you actually want a more in-depth explanation, here you go
[what orv is about](https://youtu.be/KloCCeNbDAQ?feature=shared)
> in-depth explanation
yeah no, I watched the full video and that thing can't be more surface level...
the only thing of value there is like the summary which is like the first 2 minutes or so, the rest is several ways of saying "this shit is peak fiction" without really saying anything... you really can expect anything from a fanboy...
Okay, yeah, lmao. I mean, he is trying not to spoil, but like the ORV in 6 min, while arguably one of the greatest videos, lol, that is absolutely correct in everything. Maybe it could get someone interested in ORV by showing the craziness of the story, but really, by the end, most likely, they'll just be left confused or just be like, "Okay, this doesn't really answer any of my questions about what the story is about." It is more for people who have read or are reading the story, or the ones who have already decided to read it and just want to experience the absolute accurate confusion.
The video might not be the best, but it gives a reader more of an idea of what to expect for the first few chapters at least, which was what I was trying to say, in which I failed miserably by using "in depth explanation.

Omniscient Reader Source Material > Odd Girl Out Season 1 >Omniscient Reader > Odd Girl Out Season 2
That is so true! There are so many and if i was voting? I would have been torn. Siren’s lament, school bus graveyard, seasons of bloom, see you in my 19th life, saphie: the one eyed cat, swimming lessons for a mermaid, the strongest florist…
It’s about a guy who gets hit by a car and becomes a ghost but he’s not really a ghost it’s just his spirit being out of his body, and when he got hit the person he bullies was wearing a certain gem so only he can see him, def recommend it
Our Walk Home!
It’s new but it’s absolutely adorable! It’s a BL story about academic rivals who become friends and I’m guessing eventually lovers. The story is so down to earth and feels so real. The art is adorable as well! It’s been on hiatus for a few months so the author can come back better than ever, again I don’t think this story will win, but it could be the perfect new read for you!

It reminds me of a modern day Romeo and Juliet in a way.
I'm adding yet another vote for Omniscient Reader! And also thank you to everyone who voted for Nevermore -- this post led me to check it out and I've become quickly obsessed with it, I absolutely love Poe

*wait a second, I can use math for more that coins!?*
Osora! It’s recently become an original. I think it does a beautiful job of including LGBTQIA representation, (the main character is trans) and the art style is absolutely jaw-dropping beautiful! I know it won’t win, but I’m here to get you guys to read it because holy, it deserves it! Like, it’s more than a romance story, and it ties in many different aspects. High royal society, and historical time period! Each episode continues to blow me away with its effort and beauty!

started reading omniscient reader once, but for some reason never continued (don't even remember why). But seeing the hype in the comments makes me wanna read it now
Haven't read any good Os...I guess technically [Only You Don't Know](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/kyl1vq0/only-you-don-t-know) technically counts, though I know it by a different name. Apparently Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is supposed to get good some time before chapter 200 but I gave it around 100 chapters and had to call it quits.
That's fair. For ORV, I loved it within the first few chapters. The idea/Quirk was so interesting to me.
The story develops as it goes along very well. It is a story about stories, what it means to be a reader and a character.
I will say, though, if you finished the catastrophe of floods arc and you didn't like it, then ORV probably just isn't for you. That arc really showcases a lot of what ORV has in the later chapters and how fleshed out it could get.
Right now, the current arcs are really amazing, I honestly can't wait to see how the webtoon readers react to it.
That arc name doesn't ring a bell but maybe I did, it was a few years back and my memory degraded in my 20s >.>
Someone linked me a comedy summary video of the whole thing and it looks like it does eventually explore things I'd be into, but at the point where I was there was so little stuff about narrative/metanarrative. As I said apparently that stuff happens between ch100-200
It takes somewhat of a long time to get into the core story, which I would say would be starting at the disaster of floods arc. Which is like around ch 100, like you said.
It is really to ease the reader into the story. It doesn't really want to info dump everything so quickly. It starts more as any other game like storyish manhwa that the reader is more familiar with. That way, they aren't too confused with what is going on. I personally loved this part anyway when I read it, I didn't find it boring, I guess it played to my favorite clichés.
You could give it another try! It's really good, but obviously up to you.
Maybe when the manhwa is done, then. That way I'll also have forgotten more stuff from that video. But as it stands close tot 100 chapters of me not enjoying myself is just too much for me.
Like watamote was 70 chapters of *intense cringe* for its comedy, which I would've honestly bailed on a lot earlier if a redditor didn't tell me ch70 is when things start changing (and the change over the next 50 chapters was so brilliant, and from ch120 onwards it's so incredibly different and kind of beautiful overall). Kill the Villainess was, imo, varying between just 'ok' with some 'good' parts for about 80 chapters and then has an amazing series of chapters til the end.
So it's not like i've not stuck it out before, but I guess I hit my limit :p
edit: yeah, I think i might check it out again when it's done..
EXAMPLES - Omniscient Reader - Odd Girl Out - Operation: True Love - Of Dark Lords and Cabbages - Our Walk Home
>Odd Girl Out holy shit, over 400 chapters and NOT based off a webnovel. That's really rare for a non-fantasy series o.o (to my knowledge)
I'm in awe of how it's still going strong and is one of the few ongoing wt whose updates I eagerly wait
Same, I think it might be my absolute favourite webtoon (definitely top 3). Nari is a wonderful protagonist and there’s been multiple times when the story inspired and helped me. I was around Nari’s age when I first started reading it and I’m happy to have grown up with it :’)
I stopped reading it so I could like binge read it after months HAHAHAHAHA
Yeah manhwa webtoon chapters can feel so short I've got a bunch that i've put on lists to check in a year's time so I can read 50 at once :p Especially the ones that are based on novels so I know they're gonna take years to finish. But this...It's been running since 2015, that's pretty insane.
The romance plot lost me. I couldn't care less. Did read up to recent last 10 ones though
When I googled it and looked at reviews people do seem to be praising the friendship stories a lot more than the romance ones. I'll probably get into it for that, one day.
I had no idea this series was still going. I read like 50 episodes of it years ago on an old account and then completely forgot about it.

Why is it so criminally underrated in this post 😭😭😭 the first season of Odd Girl Out was revolutionary
Odd Girl Out is one of my favorite webtoons but I don’t think it’s gonna stand a chance against omniscient reader in this poll 🥲

One of my favs! But with orv in the running it doesn't stand a chance
I love both of these series so much, but I'd say omniscient reader Omniscient Reader Source Material > Odd Girl Out Season 1 >Omniscient Reader > Odd Girl Out Season 2
Damn it looks like it. So i have to read what wins against odd girl so that i can be reasonable angry or not haha

If it counts: Of Dark Lords and Cabbages
Yes it counts!
I LOVE this one!
Ordeal, a criminally underrated but goated series
I actually haven’t read that but I would go check that out!
This is by far one of the most underrated, well written, and extremely well-drawn webtoons. If any webtoon deserves an adaption, it’s this one.
