Synopsis

Kim Dokja has spent over ten years reading Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse, a web novel he’s the only reader to have finished. The day it ends, the story becomes reality and the world turns into a survival scenario, with Dokja as the only person who knows how it ends. His knowledge of the novel is his main weapon to change the course of events alongside its protagonist, Yoo Joonghyuk, a regressor.

My take

Top tier manhwa. Kim Dokja is dragged into the story of his favorite novel (which blends with reality), but he isn’t its protagonist, an absolutely overpowered regressor, a bit like in Greatest Estate Developer. Although you could call it a power fantasy because of his “reader” skill, Kim Dokja almost always faces his enemies at a power disadvantage, winning only thanks to his knowledge of the future and his cunning, which makes it far more interesting to read than its competitors in the genre. Required reading.
