And full of smut. If they wanted to they could have stretched it out, but they didn't want to, either way it works. We don't need another 60 chapters of the same old trope anyways lol
The irony of this mentioning poor pacing and structure and it having all of that.
First two chapter were a whole lot of text walls. Then the next couple of chapters just seemed to be jumping all over the place. Was he panicking and hiding the manuscript? Why'd he sell out the story? Why were they suddenly have an S&M play and repeircing his nipple? Why was he suddenly doing an S&M play with the old author? Was that normal for them? What connection do the two authors have together? How did the old author get that video? His parents broke into his home and wore tapped it?
This story is just sort of all over the place. Pacing was bad. Text walls that didn't serve much of a purpose. Plot holes everywhere. It's really just not that good. It's not that the smut was bad, just the story around it.
I agree. It's really a confusing read. I tried to understand it by reading the dialogues slowly because the concept and the art is good. But that didn't help because the pacing and storytelling sucks.
I just read it all in one go between my ride to work, my lunch break and my ride back home from work and found nothing confusing.
Everything made sense and I even understood why the scene with Suzuhara happened. Ya'll are just too used to everything being spelled out in the most simplest ways and spoonfed to you. It leaves ya'll with a lack of reader interpretation or even the ability to understand context.
I found this an actual good read that wasn't just your typical "I can't like him 'cause we're both men" bs.
Can you explain it to me if you don't mind?
Bdsm without abuse or rape. Real BDSM. I'm looking forward to this.
I am too ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I really don't think this should have that tag. Most of this is platonic friend and family love ties. This title is tackling head on, and at a brisk pace, depression. That's what this story is really about. About how everyone has their own battles they're fighting and the faces they put on in front of others. How they cope with their problems. And how messy and hard to deal with all of that is between people.
All with some really hot smexy scenes thrown in.
I really expect no less from this author. They're such a good author and I hope to see many more works from them as time goes on.
This story is like a breath of fresh air.
First and foremost:
SHOUT OUT TO PROPER BDSM THAT ISNT ABUSE OR RAPE!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, never see that on this site. That's the #1 thing that made me happy.
But the story is really really excellent. The pacing is great. The smut is hot. The characters are so real. Honestly the best thing I've read on here in a long time. It's gritty without the characters being red flags to each other.
Just
Great
For real , the ml lead was rough but at the same time gentle, I love this author so much, brothers without tomorrow is the best
Honestly, you have to approach this with a healthy dose of comedy. It's so fucking corny, and as long as you go into it knowing that, you'll probably just laugh your ass off the entire time.
No, despite the advertisement around this and multiple social media posts hinting at it, this omega doesn't actually have multiple alpha partners. They just sorta do some foreplay before he gets "rescued" by someone far worse.
Does his alpha coworker have an inferiority complex towards him? Alpha seems to have a small ego problem. Doesn't like that the omega is a better worker than him?
Look, all I'm saying, is that while the alphas on the train didn't believe him, they at least seemed to care about the omega feeling good too. Meanwhile small ego coworker needed to try and belittle the omega and wouldn't allow him to enjoy the cherry popping sex.
This is probably why everyone hates the story. That and how rushed it is. Why would the omega stay with this guy afterwards?
I have started coming to the comment section of these things because they can help me not waste time on garbage, but this section has me a bit confused. Is this a completed work or was it stopped with no ending?
Help.
it's completed, its not a bad story lol idk what ppl are trashing on. maybe it can b considered somewhat dubcon but there's no noncon it's all has some sort of consent
Idk, I'm just not feeling this story. I'm not drawn into it like I was with the first one. Like, guides in this one have to have sex to guide? Kinda weird, surprised there aren't a bazillion little kids running around.
The uke just seems like a cold asshole. 20 some odd chapters in and that hasn't changed at all. I get it, PTSD, but everything he says just makes him seem like a hes shallow and power hungry. He only cares about finding someone to make the blood bond with just so HE could have their powers. (Also not a fan of guides getting esper's powers either).
The side characters acted like the esper was somehow special to the uke, but there is absolutely no hint towards that whatsoever. "He's interested because it's YOU" they say, but time and time and time again we're shown he's interested because it's his blood and his power. He seems constantly annoyed with the Seme, usually pretty abusive too, didn't actually give him a choice about making the bond, and just flat out manipulative.
And this isn't even really a dark romance. It's just.
..blah.
I think I'll drop it. It's just not interesting or a good read. Maybe my first Guideverse was just too well written and this one seems like crap in comparison.
What was your first guideverse. May need to know to comprehend why you dont like this one so much (=・ω・=)
I love the art, the characters & the story BUT
I agree with some of your points. What if under the rarest circumstances, a minor becomes an esper and he is rampaging, the how will any adult guide help him/her? How would anyone locate a minor guide out of the blue.
Also seems a bit impractical to only guide through sex. And not all guides/espers will have the same sexual orientation as you. Then what?
I completely get you. My first guideverse was Dear 00, and I didn't even know wth guides where before that. I loved that story and how espers came to be and what guides did to HELP them. I'm still waiting for the next season but I would TOTALLY go back for more.
But this story, is a NOT up to the same standard as that. And I LOVE THIS STORY, but there are things about this story that make me mad and I could do without or I wished were changed. I DON'T LIKE that konrad is a complete asshole to fabian. YES, HE IS GETTING BETTER AND OPENING UP TO HIM BUUUUT, we actually got to see his POV and I got to say, I was pretty disappointed and pissed how he views fabian, WHO IS NEW TO THIS WHOLE THIS AND WAS A COMPLETE VIRGIN UP UNTIL HE GOT HIS POWERS. But Konrad, like you said, is mainly talking about how fabian's blood is compatable to his and that he thirsts for it and his powers and how he wants to be tyed to him..... FOR WHAT???? ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
You OBVIOUSLY find him childish and incompetent and annoying, the only thing that interests him is this blood and his powers. IT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF. Like, I get it, Konrad has a SHIT LOAD of ptsd of previous partners and their deaths and he's had a whole lifetime of having to give his body to strangers but he doesn't need to treat fabian like that.
Other than that, I don't like how Espers and Guides are written in this story because espers are practically made out to be THERE FOR GUIDES and not the other way around. Like, why do I have problems controling MY POWERS, but a complete stranger has to randomly fuck me and control them BETTER THAN ME???
Like WTF??? Why are guides treated like they're there to better wield an espers powers than the actual esper? I thought guides are to help control an esper not TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THEIR POWERS?? Like, "espers? They only there to provide power to the guide", BROTHER WHHYYYY??? THAT'S MY POWER!!!!
ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ （/TДT)/
But I'm not gonna drop it becuase I love the art and I wanna see where this goe. I see that Konrad is progressing but I do hope that he falls for fabian because he's such a muffin.
But that was my hot take. (￣∇￣")
Firstly it's a good thing that guide can have some of esper powers it give some equality to the guiverse dynamic. Secondly uke is a traumatised, twisted character of course he will act like he acted towards seme, thirdly he cares about him as a bond partner that's why he participates in his training. You can argue about the purpose on the bonding but that's part of the plot we still have to read his character development.
PTSD explains behavior but does not excuse it. His behavior towards the Seme isn't excusable nor warranted. And no, I don't think guides being able to use esper powers balances anything out. In other Guideverse esper's literally will die without guides, while guides can live just dandy fine without esper's. I think that's a pretty good balance of power.
But no, he doesn't actually care about the Seme so far as a partner or person. He's completely just out to get his hands on the esper's power. He couldn't care less about the person so far in the story. If it wasn't for his ability to control gravity and the guide's ability to get his hands onto that power himself, the uke would never look twice at the Seme.
YESSS, THANK YOU!!!(≧∀≦)
I get that its Konrad's character and its his arch but I still don't like how he treats fabian when he's still new to this. But like I said, HE'S GROWING AND OPENING UP. Which is why I'm still reading and why I'm enjoying the story, because I like seeing character growth and characters falling in love.
I would encourage you to keep reading to see where this story goes, but ofc, it's up to you. (〜￣△￣)〜
Okay wow.. Everybody have their own opinion but I have to agree with @Blackline on this. Yeah we need to go thru the plot first & digest the character development. OP opinion have some logic to it but to me to say it this early in the story is a bit.. unfair I guess.. at least from my pov this story still have a lot to unravel. Also just like how omegaverse trope is very diverse I'd like for guideverse to be like that as well meaning the role & powers of espers & guide maybe/will be different in every guideverse. But as we know we human are unique so our pov might differ & its kinda great to read that a lot of us actually read this with serious thoughts
Yea, I get you. This is just another interpretation of the guideverse, the rules just don't really click with me that much ya know, like they don't really make that much sense in terms of making a guide over powered versus the esper. But I do want to read the rest and see what else happens. I am invested in this story and I don't wanna drop it when there is so much story left and I've invested so much time into this manhwa. I hope to be proven wrong and I'll eat my words, but only time will tell. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
