The pretty Boi with black hair (lowkey forgot his name lmao) Is the seme and the 29 year old (forgot hs 2) is the uke, idk if you knew that srry if u did, I was just kinda confused when reading because it was switched around
The way your rant is organised and detailed made me read it all.
I agreed with you. I also learnt my lesson after reading lots of manhwas so before I even start I always look for comments like these that give a general idea ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ or those that just say don't read at mental risk (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Special Guidance is another good one with a much hea.thier couple. I didn't hate this one, the one you rated about not SG, but it's not one I'd read again. The seme making everyone lie about the uke leg could be healed is messed up. But the uke even OK doesn't really seem like a good experience, he would have erupted and died for sure had he been OK, not that im excusing the seme because im sure the uke was also in pain for 11 years, but my crazy mind understands thats probably his mindset.
Womp womp
if you didn't want to read my rant, don't readi it-- it's not like it was directed specifically towards you <3
Yeah I get that also it's just I feel like it's not represented properly / done well. Like this manhwa could have SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL if it wasn't done like this.
Oh I searched it up and it said the uke was the top and the seme was the bottom, I'M SORRY!!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Ahhhh thank you! I accidentally messed up with switching the seme and uke things so just like imagine that the seme is the bottom n the uke is the top for rn hahah
thank you for the recs, i’ve never read an esper x guide story so i didn’t even know this was a genre.. this one was off putting lol i agree with everything you listed!
i really hate obsessive characters when their behavior is painted cutely and as a joke? (mostly anyway) and then the uke going along with it all was so strange.. i thought he was drawing the line in some moments but
AHHH THANK YOU!! This is an amazing genre in my opinion and a rotten egg like this could deter future fans of it which makes me kinda upset haha!
Special Guidance is one that really shows how good this genre can be, I so wish for an abime cuz it has everything, green flag sene, brave uke, fight scenes, and hot smut.
I didn't read it lol I knew your opinion was invalid right when you said uke is bad
Noooooooo it's totally fine. Btw don't listen to the loser that didn't even listen to what you had to say, your opinions don't have to be valid because that's the thing about opinions, they apply to you and only you, and it's up to others whether they share your opinion or not :)
I accidentally flipped the uke and seme terms which I already apologized for. People are allowed to have other opinions from your own, it's clear you don't understand this concept just yet <3
THANK YOU! like... it's my opinion and if they don't like it, they shouldn't even comment in the first place lmao. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Okay normally I absolutely adore esper and guide manhwas but this story is taking it too far. I'm just gonna rant on here and say my opinion, if you don't like it-- move on.
The uke genuinely has to be the worst character I've ever read in a manhwa and that says A LOT. I'm not trying to hate on this manhwa but its hard not too. The art is beautifully done but theres genuinely so many things wrong with this manhwa.
N.1 The age gap. Normally IDGAF about age gap but this stories age gap is just plain old weird as the seme refers to the uke as a child MULTIPLE times and admits to still seeing him as a child.
N.2 The Uke. The Uke is just plain old annoying to read, normally I love whining ukes but this one is just so frustrating to the point I dropped the manhwa many times (only finished it because of the art and esper x guide trope.) He's so attached to the seme its so annoying reading it-- like your a grown ass guy. He acts like a literal child and he reminds me of shotacon bait which is plain old disgusting.
N.3 The Lore. Normally I love toxic yaoi, but this is insane? Like what do you mean you were basically the reason he was disabled for eleven years, being forced to be a workoholic and subjected to hate cause he was crippled. Thats actually fucking insane, it'd be better if he actually felt remorse for his actions or whatever but he doesn't? AND THE SEME JUST FUCKING ACCEPTS IT? thats insane, just imagine that happened to you irl. crazy work.
N.4 The Seme. Although I like the seme in this story, he's also lowkey messed up. Just accepting a manipulative 18 year old who basically was the reason for all your suffering is insane first of all. Second of all, he just forgives too much, like it gets too a point. I dont have too much to say about him though, just that he deserves a better story and uke.
N.5 the ending / storyline. The storyline imo should've actually featured a montage of them improving on their CRAZY red flags together and moving forward or at least a chasing and forgiving arc, but we get none of that. Absolutely nothing-- it also ends on a very weird note. Why make side stories if its gonna end like that?
N.6 the fans. I'm not hating on anyone of you guys who like this manhwa, thats not my intention. But I feel like half the fans just disregarded all thats wrong with this manhwa because the characters were pretty and who cares? Theres so much wrong with this story and I feel like those who disregard it are ignorant. This manhwa just basically proves pretty privilege exists and that if a pretty person does something bad its okay! Imagine if the characters were ugly, would you guys be okay with this manhwa? I don't necessarily think so.
Theres so much more thats wrong with this manhwa but I feel like I already wrote the main things that bothered me. I was originally excited to read a manhwa that was esper x guide since there aren't many of those-- but this just truly upset me. I did like the art though aside from the horrible fucking plot.

The S Class Guide as sweet as honey
Anyways I hope everyone enjoyed my rant, again no hate to the artist-- it's just the manhwa really pmo. Again, if you need manhwa recs that are esper x guide or just really any manhwa recs, feel free to reach out. I have lots that are MUCH better than this one. Whoever actually read this I hope your having a good night or day! Much love <3 #－.－)
(EDIT: I ACCIDENTALLY FLIPPED THE SEME AND UKE ROLE, JUST KNOW WHENEVER I MENTIONED THE SEME I MEANT THE BOTTOM AND WHENEVER I MENTIONED THE UKE I MEANT THE TOP. I'M SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING!!!)
