Fanon
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a popular novel in the Western, to the point that it's got a manhwa adaptation due to its popularity (which is still on-going). It's also known due to it having an open ending, which was also something that disappointed ones, but sastified others with. Either they could imagine a happy or a sad ending, that was on the reader's choice. Even if it has a decent popularity, there are people who can't read the novel due to its length (551 chapters), and are satisfied only with the webtoon, and so two sides were splitted in those who were novel-only, and webtoon-only, although there are others who finished the novel and are going with the webtoon too.

The fandom has also memes like the rest, but are mostly related to Kim Dokja oftenly sacrificing himself and people also tend to call him a "rat" because of this. Others nicknames like "ugly squid", "ugly king", or just "squid" are also used to refer him. There are fans who also like to bully Kim Dokja with his disliked food; tomatoes by drawing him with them or adding KimCom's members to do so. On the other hand, the fandom is really angsty because the novel itself is too, counting the number of times Kim Dokja has to give his life so his companions can clear the scenarios, and although it's only temporal, it's not something everyone enjoys watching, and nor does Kim Dokja like to do.

Things like pairings aren't really focused in main-story, but the fandom thinks otherwise. Although the novel's pairings are left as platonic-only, not focusing in romance as mentioned (except for ones like Seolhyuk or HyunHee), there are ones (non-canon) that are heavily implied to be romantic-coded such as Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja. Fans joke with this by saying it's a romantic novel disguised as a sad one, and this is supported by the fact that there are lots of the characters that ship both of them (incluiding BlackBox, who is the artist of Omniscient Reader's posters of volumes and such). However it also tends to be rejected by others who like both of them with other people, like Han Sooyoung or Sangah. This isn't really a problem though, as a part of the fandom is okay with ships and respect others' opinions or either they'd just ignore it. It must be noted that, even if there are popular ships, they rarely have fan arts created if not fan fictions, like Hyunsung and Heewon (who canonically were a couple), or also Joonghyuk and Seolhwa. Love interests, or at least an attempt for being viewed like that, in fan opinion, are not really fit for the protagonist either. They like viewing them as either a friend or a family to Kim Dokja, like in Yoo Sangah's case, which didn't work out according to fans. Same with Uriel or Heewon, which were accordingly, again by fans, a family to Kim Dokja.

Overall, although the novel is long, it makes the reader feel entertained as they progress through the novel, and it being unique due to it not having an actual romantic representation or love interests (turned down as the story progressed). Must be noted that the novel itself said that every part of Kim Dokja was in every reader of the book, since: Kim Dokja = Reader/Only child, and also that, since the novel had broke the 4th wall several times, the novel that everyone had written in the end to gather Kim Dokja's soul fragments was nothing more and less than ORV itself.
