Annotation:
Set in modern-day Korea, the main character is an average
worker who lives vicariously through online novels. One day, his life is turned
upside down when a routine trip on the subway heralds the start of a worldwide
apocalypse. He quickly realises that he has somehow gone into the world of his
favourite novel, and thanks to his obsessive reading he understands what will
happen next.
This novel is a character-driven story with a dark tone and
fantastic world building. It doesn’t shy away from drama and tragedy while
maintaining a sense of optimism through the struggles of the main characters. This
book originally published as a weekly chapter webnovel, but due to its
staggering popularity it has since been adapted into an ebook, physical book, graphic novel, and animated tv series.
