(btw would it be concerning if i said the emperor is kinda dilfy or...?)(OK NO MORE SIDETRACKS—)
2. I LOVE THE MC!!! Hes strong, outspoken, cunning and cute at the same time—the perfect counter to the arrogant, emotionally constipated, selfish asshole-y ml (who is also a certified hottie
(ugh i just love raven-haired fictional men) If youre tired of crybaby, damsel-in-distress guide characters then rest assured because our mc is NOT one of them(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
3. speaking of, the ml is imo a greenish-gray flag, like hes not as diabolical as some tops ive seen in bl, but hes not a forest if youre okay with some red-flags (like coercion, bad temper, homicidal/destructive & jealous behaviour etc) then go ahead, if not then perhaps rethink reading. he does get character development though (yay!) but other than that hes your typical possessive seme (￣∇￣)
4. that girl rocelle or whatever–mls ex-fiancée seriously gets of my nerves. i think shes borderline mentally unwell because the ml clearly doesnt like her & outright rejects her at every opportunity, but she still guns for him! even purchasing their old house like an obsessed ex— wait...she IS an obsessed ex lol. anyways, she pmo real hard— she needs to get a grip asap!!!
5. in terms of the plot, i fw it a lot! in order to not spoil a lot, im just gonna say i didnt see some things coming but i kinda guessed the dad plot (ifykyk) and everyone knows the cliché "met each other as kids" backstory lol so that didnt take too long to figure out
tbh thats all that i can think of to talk about rn... might reply to this if i think of anything else. OVERALL: not too bad i actually quite like this even though guideverse isnt my fav–ima give it a solid 7.5-8/10! (btw, is it just me or did the art improve as the chapters went on?)
will be waiting for more chaps!(⌒▽⌒)
.
Thanks Lilith scans for the mass update, but wow what an illegal cliffhanger (Well, not really a cliffhanger, but cmon ml figured his feelings out towards mc—what a bummer this is the latest chapter)
anyways, time to unpack! TLDR of this manhua: mc is a dual guide-esper who's hiding his true S rank, meanwhile ml is a lab grown S rank esper and yes, they knew each other as kids (how cliché, but we eat it up every time regardless loll)
my minds a bit of a mess rn (thanks migraine) so ima just jot down my thoughts in any ol' order:
1. ima get this out the way first: I NEED NEED NEEEED DION Ahhh hes so cute and hot and saur fcking sexy AGH WHY IS HE CURSED WITH SECOND LEAD SYNDROME I NEED MOAR OF HIMMMM
(can you tell i have a thing for hot redheads lolol)(tbh i like hot men in general
