Person who has only seen Alice in borderlands consuming their 2nd Japanese survival story: "hm, getting a lot of Alice in borderlands vibe from this one"
ANYWAYS, Was this dropped by the scanlation or in Japan? Is it still going there? This is so good…
Dot this have a TV adaptation? Am I confusing this?
There is. Two seasons. Starred by Masuda Takahisa as Amakusa and Ukisho Hidaka as Shiki. Some of the events sequence has been changed to make the story flow better (in my opinion) for the drama, but his power is weaker in the drama than in the manga, so it's a bit disappointing (in terms of power) but I like the drama overall
Sorry meant to like...
Don't you love when the seme falls first and is obsessed
I'm supposed to like, I'm so sorry
No problems, love
This is the first time I've been properly invested in guide verse. Not curious, not hopeful, not even just intrigued, but actually invested.
This has an interesting plot and, even if it goes for toxic, it seems like it will do it in a nouveau way.
Guideverse always just felt like omega verse in a different wrap, with all its typical problems:
Forceful relationships; double standard vague normalization of rape; amatonormativity; illogical need for sex (when often a hug would cover a bigger contact area since than the positions they use, in ABO is the disregard for other heat/rut symptoms); reforcing relationship hierarchy; binarization of romance (AND heteronormativity! omega×alfa, guide×esper, sounds an awful lot like man×woman, not to mention the character design, where often it's omegas/guides need too look as feminine as possible); disregard for verisimillitude in general, I just can hardly take them serious, specially in webtoons…
Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed reading other guideverses but usually you have to make a lot of concessions — not moral, I have none, just in general if you are reading it as literature/art instead of plain mass-produced porn. Nothing wrong with porn, I like smut comics, I read then often, but I would never say I'm "invested" in a story that sustains itself on the smut (a lot of smut stories do have a nice plot, either serious or comedic ones, though, you CAN have the best of both worlds).
Also, two of my all time favorite stories ARE ABO, very curious that the first guideverse I REALLY like for the plot, not for the sex, is also Japanese. Mitochondria of yaoi fr fr.
I read some parts of the novels with Google translation, and I don't think either of them is toxic—sure, they do have flaws, mental problems and their own struggles but never really toxic.
Ooooh, my expectations for this grows higher and higher

Yeah that’s why I mostly read Alpha x Alpha and Beta x Alpha pairings in omegaverse and I’ve only read one guide because it just felt to me like they took one of my favorite action types and turned it into a remix of omegaverse. I only picked this one up because the ML on the cover looked different than most so I got curious.
Why the sex addict guy who gets it on with plenty of girls have a dick the size of his little finger??? What girl is sitting on that? Is it a tampon?
Your comment shouldn't be this funny
im cryign plls ts funny aff

We are on the same chapter-ish by number. This adaptation is very good, it does a better job than one could expect given the writing style employed by the novel. I'm reading the novel and it feels like s-class that I raised, except the guys are girls and there's more comedy. It's super fun, although I really wish we had some more men (we get new girls every 10 ch but only have the same 3 guys from the beginning and their role are questionable at best. My favorite character is Kang Changho, so you can imagine how frustrated I am, lol).
The ladies are cool tho, and although they really favor MC they don't have romantic feelings for him, the korean fandom behaves pretty similar to ORV's, which is fun. The fights often balances between the Mc being super smart, super op in theory or suuuper lucky, so it never feels like it's too much.
The translation is mostly good, there are some pronouns a bit off (mostly she/he but some they/I too), but nothing you can't realize by yourself through context. It's the one at novelupdates, if you have a hard time with that, there's nothing I can do for you, tho ¯_('-')_/¯.
There are regular villain characters being destroyed but with neat developmental intervals, and there's a light overarching enemy plot being built slowly.
If you're curious and up for it, do give the novel a shot
(=￣ω￣=)
Is the novel complete?
In korean we are 537 ch. in and counting, I think the latest update was yesterday? The translation just got to 300 ch. and it's also on going
Bruh
Ch. 94: this is pathetic. Why are writers so adamantly against making throuples? "oh I never rly loved you I was just lonely, now I got a real twink tiny boy I don't new your seme-design ass" like… this shit gets tiring.
GUY HIRING A HOST THAT IS NOT SÓ NICE BUT IS DEVELOPING A SOFT SPOT FOR HOM, WE NEED SOMEONE TO PICK THIS UP OMFG
Why's the men so ugly ┗( T﹏T )┛ there's like 3 beautiful male character design and one is constantly drawn in a weird manic frenzy ㅠ.ㅠ like, I'm not comparing it to other art styles, I'm comparing to the way the author draws women
