![]() ![]() You know: like you do in your own head every day. Third person allows the reader to slip into a single consciousness, to identify with just that one, and see the others as threats or objects of desire. ![]() People will warn you that omniscient POV is less intimate. The omniscient narrator knows what all the characters see and feel and know, as well as things none of them know, like what’s past and to come. These days, the most common POV in fiction is “third-person close.” That’s where the narration only sees what your main character sees, only knows what she knows, can only speak her feelings.īut an omniscient narrator knows much more than what’s happening in front of and inside the main character. Omniscient point of view-that godlike narrator who knows it all-is out of fashion. Glad to learn that The World After the Fall was a big prototype for that and the authors are not simply writing Gods right from the beginning!Ĭannot overstate how much I love ORV and how much I admire/love Sing Shong as authors, they created so many stories, so much fictional AND real historical history, just to create a singular novel known as ORV, which is why I think ORV is one of the best pieces of literature I've ever read.But if you do it right, it can crack your writing open in the best way. It's a full novel potentially, INSIDE of another novel (ORV), and that is only the main novel plot device used by Kim Dokja, there are also many other stories throughout ORV that also have history that could each have their own series but instead is created and seen only in ORV. We will never get to see the full novel of 3 Ways To Survive (most likely), but we can put it together and figure out what it actually is like through bits and pieces that the story gives us, AND the author's past works providing an early schematic to let us better piece together what happened. It feels like a real universe with depth because it has stories that are untold. ORV feels like the culmination of years of multiple novels and universes being thought out and put into a singular novel and its amazing. It's part of why I love ORV so much though! There is so much history and detail packed in the story (most likely the majority of which coming from The World After the Fall) that is not expressed and explained, and even though you do not know exactly what that history is, you can tell the authors thought about it for a long time and the history is in fact there. Same here! I was a bit confused on why they placed so much emphasis on a random god of another world for some reason, who oozed with their own lore and deep history/story. Long explanation short: The World After the Fall is a prequel. The fight between Mulack Armelt and Jaehwan comes before the ending, so I would determine that time to be when he met Kim Dokja. It was probably one of his "clothes" that met Dokja, then that piece of "clothing" left Jaehwan. Kim Dokja was never mentioned, so the likely conclusions is this: Jaehwan forgot about meeting Dokja. When Jaehwan was sent to the, he lost a lot of his memories. Well, when Jaehwan transcended and began to fight Mulack Armelt, he lost some of his "clothes." When you lose some of your "clothes," you lose the memories that piece of "clothing" possesses. They are all Jaewhan, you can say he has multiple personalities residing within him. In the story, Jaewhan has multiple beings inside of him, called the "clothes." The "clothes" are the memories and experiences that he acquired from living so long. The most likely conclusion is this: Jaewhan forgot. When I read The World After the Fall, I thought there would be a moment where Jaehwan would meet Dokja, but it didn't happen in the storyline. ![]() Anyway, they meet and Kim Dokja escapes from Jaewhan, who went quite insane from existing for 10 billion years. Jaewhan actually waited hundreds of millions of years within the above the so that he could finally meet. Kim Dokja's subway went near the Tree of Imagery, where Jaehwan exists. SPOILERS FOR OMNISCIENT READER'S VIEWPOINT AND THE WORLD AFTER THE FALL.Īfter Kim Dokja becomes the Most Ancient Dream, he resides behind the Final Wall, within a subway car that traverses the universe. I still like the novel though, it has an interesting premise.Īnyways, the timeline of the novel is before ORV. Sadly, it didn't receive as much planning ORV actually had more thought put into it than The World After the Fall. It definitely came before ORV, for it was the first novel they made. The novel feels like a rough draft that allowed Sing-Shong to have some writing practice. To many readers, it will definitely be confusing. I'm actually rereading the novel The World After the Fall by Sing-Shong. ![]()
