I was really hoping for a wedding scene NGL and I was curious to know what the public's reaction was going to be to the MC once they've seen him ((like c'mon everyone was saying how hot ML is much less how hot MC is, I just wanted reactions folks) which I was hoping would've been done through wedding pics but rip).

I do love this couple so much. The villain was a bit dumb ngl and the ending was just a bit unsatisfying (not entirely sure why, by I'm guessing it's partly probably due to the author hinting at them getting hitched down the line without showing us them getting married like when stories end without giving us babies when it's hunted at (mainly in the omegaverse tropes but still)).
I feel the pacing was pretty good and the length wasn't bad, but I feel the story could've just been fleshed out just a bit more, mainly with some of the side characters, but admittedly I love hurt/comfort and wanted more action scenes for that reason. Showing the side characters more could've also risked the pacing as well (a short prequel out the S-Rank Esper finding her Guide would be cute but I doubt the author would write GL/Yuri but eh, a girl can wish). I also just want to know more about the AA-Rank Esper (writing it out, it sounds like the whole rank has a drinking problem ), she was a really interesting character. I guess I also just wanted more of the backlash for the events near the end as well, it really felt more like we were being told instead of told and with the amount of destruction we were seeing when he was erupting, I find it hard to believe nothing was damaged and no one was hurt (there was a freaking twister at one point, like there has to be SOME broken windows at the very least). I get MC got to him in time before he really had a chance to get going, but still.
Or even just seeing the MC get more used to his life as a Guide with ML and being in a relationship with him, as well as how the City Guard developed. I also just want to see how the public response changed overtime for the ML as well (I also think it was hinted or outright told that the MC and ML's ranks could/did change, but we don't get any further tests for the MC and the ML being an SS-Rank just didn't really feel like it was addressed??? Like that's a pretty big deal)(admittedly I also like seeing public reactions in stories, it just adds to the immersion of the world that the author created).
Maybe a smarter villain could come through or maybe another type of dungeon, more dangerous than before (the double dungeon felt like it could've been leading to more abnormal dungeons appearing, so maybe the dungeons just gradually get worse over time is another option) appeared and monsters escape from it, then they have to deal with that, especially with the MC learning to become a Dungeon Guide as well.
I could tell the author didn't really have much more planned for the plot and didn't really want to continue so they just wrapped it with a bow, which I can't blame the author for when you just lose interest in something, get overwhelmed with trying to write a long plot, and/or being pushed by a publisher to finish bc maybe they had a deadline. At least they gave us a decent ending with a somewhat satisfying ending and that's something I can't say for a good bit of others (sometimes I won't even read a comic or story if I found out the plot was rushed, especially at the end (tbh I do read some spoilers so I know what I'm getting myself into and if I'm gonna waste my time getting or trying to get invested, a rushed ending is like a slap in the face especially when the rest of the story was good)).
There's probably more I could write about by just nitpicking, but I do really like this story and overall I wanna say it's a pretty good story, especially with the relationship between the MC and ML (like it's so healthy and I'm just not used to seeing it in any genre really (straight, gay, or otherwise (a lot authors just eat up shitty MLs and I worry for them)), as well some of background character relationships.
A very long comment, but very true, this was a wonderful story, the villain could be a bit better, but still it was much better than some other stories and it was like fresh air in a morning to see such a wonderful couple with a healthy relationship
