Both are meh, ORV is a kitchen sink while the the end is typical high fantasy upped a notch with "modernity" (of enlightenment period) in later arcs.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is good but I'm going to give this one to The Beginning in the End. Binged that one to oblivion.

All I remember before putting beginning after the end in the backburner is some guy in the comment section complaining about the later parts turning into some cuck love triangle bullshit.
ORV is cool I guess so I'd pick that.

I didn't really like either of them, but if I had to pick one, I'd take Omniscient's Reader's Viewpoint.

The Beginning After The End, as far as I remember, had a lot of drama and a number of weird plot points. Felt kinda like a mix between a paperback book with rapid developments and a slow burn progression that couldn't decide which it wanted to be.

ORV got boring for me after a while, but nothing actively deterred me. I wouldn't say it has better lore because this much isn't nearly enough to judge; I enjoyed them both at first but stopped reading for different reasons.

Followed TBATE back on RR and I gotta say TBATE has better prose but ORV has better story-telling throughout. Both lore is meh but okay when translated into manhwa. If you want something with better lore try Lord of the Mysteries

Haven’t read viewpoint because the premise sounded stupid.

I dropped beginning after the end because I could only suspend my disbelief so much. It doesn’t matter how skilled a kid is, no parent is gonna let their 12 yo child become a soldier of fortune

Both are shit.
Your majesty, how come?

ORV can be fun sometimes, but I think it's a bit overrated. The only thing I remember about TBATE is that I dropped it at some point because it got too cringe.

(I was confused for a moment because they both sound like writing tropes if you don't know the source material.)

Wait, are we talking about the novels or the visualized versions of them?

I read ORV and then somewhat regretting reading it, I cannot tell if the main character, the author not the cringe regressor dude, is gay or Bi. Either way, loads of gayness emits the air. And I dropped it when it turned out the copycat thief author turns out to be a hot chick. Obviously.

TBATE had good and meh moments for me, the good moments involved a lot of violence, the meh moments were everything else. And when MC murdered that inbred half bastard elf fuck, I was nodding my head in joy. Then came the fucking human champion who was the bastard elf's big bro and the half wit, shit-for-brains human king who was jealous of MC and I just said "NOPE". I am fine with such cunts existing in works provided that MC has/ will have the capability to murderfuck them, but what made me truly dropped the work was when MC dropped to his parents that he is mentally older than them and that they got cuckoo egg swap.

In brief, I hated them both.

he could have told his parents that sometimes he was getting memories of a past life and that they slowly made him remember that he was someone else before, instead of just outright saying "actually i'm not your son, despite being your son" because that's the most retarded thing i've seen

I don't think I've read the 2nd one, but I do remember reading ORV. I stopped at chapter 9. It was just too contrived, like the Final Destination and Saw franchises had a baby, and that baby was a gamified monstrosity of both in one cluster-fuck of BS survival horror.

Same, although my reason for dropping beginning after the end was different, and I think I got a fair amount farther than you. The whole defense of that mountain fort thing telegraphed the plot to a point it was way too painfully obvious, and it was not helped at all by the fact that killing off the father is one of the very most cleche plots there are in all of fiction. And it was made so incredibly much worse by the fact that it pain stakingly justified and way over-emphisized every single last one of the death flags.

I dropped it before I could even see whether or not they really killed him off. I mean, I don't know, they could have pulled a subversion. That would be about the only outcome I wouldn't consider to be completely literarily brain-dead move with how much they beat you over the skull with all the death flags for chapter upon chapter leading up to it. At that point, a subversion is about the only good way you even could present that.

But, yeah. It was just too much for me. I was just done when it started pulling all that shit.
