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.
If your looking for esper x guide manhwas check these out:
Traces of the sun
A Guide Out to Succeed
B Class Guide
Dear Zero
Guiding Hazard
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!!!)
