It's a popular genre in novels and fanfiction, originating from scifi titles like star trek and such, so its kinda similar to omegaverse that way ig. most of the guideverse manhuas you'll see are adaptations of popular online bl novels that youd find on chrysanthemum garden or smth
Ohh i c, ty i was wondering where it came from and if its like an actual subgenre xD unluckly google wasnt on my side bec of location probably so when i searched for guidverse it just showed me omegaverse XD
Personally I knew it as sentinels and guides in fanfiction long before it blew up and became guideverse on here or in manhwa’s
It's originally sentinel/guide trope based on TV show 'The Sentinel'. It's quite popular in fanfiction sites such as ao3. The concept is similar with the esper/guide, albeit usually without dungeons and the superpower stuff is more about enhanced senses and spiritual-related.
technically speaking. altho i dont kno the origin. the only thing i can tell you is that it mostly centers around the trope of dimensions with monsters in a modern timeline etc. (think omniscient reader's viewpoint/ solo leveling/etc and every other story that has a system as well and mosters)
it's guideverse cause that's the only thing really that doesnt change
(plus it's always the uke/label label that gets added to a universe/ -verse. example: "omega"verse)
the "esper" term could change to sentinel or hunters etc. but they basically kill hunt monsters or dungeons or quest idk. every author tends to tweak it a bit so theirs could be unique
you seldom see the guide's title change and you seldom see a change in their physical appearance.
(regas can be somewhat counted as one cause from their description they technically are a "guide" but just with a diff term but i dont want to hahaha)
there's been a rise with badass guides cause just like those in omegaverse
the ones from before are somewhat damsel in distress or weaker than an esper/sentinel/hunter/sentry/etc. that just gets caught up in disasters or issues (try reading Bloodhound they've got guides with bad ass superpowers and it's smutty so...)
aka most o the time they're just a normal civilian with relaxing powers.
Omgg ty for taking your time and giving me a full explanation+ a recommendation (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+ i feel so blessed (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡
