the sainteness is from korea
lemme simplify
historical world = ciel + pink haired FL
korea= saintess + dead wife
saintess has power to open portals to other dimensions
she goes to historical world ->>meet ciel
ciel goes with her to korean dimension under saintess guise of - bring more guides from korea-
in korea ciel meets dead wife, she dies lalala we know
he goes back to historical with saintess
he goes back in time - 2 weeks
saintess is just the character who connects both dimensions
in historical dimension espers and guides are just not common, it might be due to the fact that it's something new
orrr their aren't enough guides so espers go all crazy and turn into monsters that are killed by espers who can get guiding
personally i think it's a combo of both
there*
Yes I know that I’m saying it makes no sense
i think him going back in time was just so that they technically never went to the korean dimension in the historical dimension but the going back in time does not affect korean dimension
idk if time passes differently tho in the differnwt dimensional timelines
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the timeline and setting… basically, the rules of their universe.
It’s confusing. FL died, and she transmigrated into someone else’s body inside a novel from Korea. Meanwhile, ML is from that novel originally but he went to FL’s world in Korea by following the saintess. When he dies in FL’s world, he just goes back in time and back to his world but is still himself. What really confuses me is the Saintess is a character written into the novel. However, she also exists in the real world in Korea? That part is a bit weird to me because how can she be both a fictional and real person? In this universe, FL is a real person supposedly while ML is fictional. So how does the Saintess fit into that if she is a real person but was written into the novel??? Hopefully that makes sense.
Additionally, there’s the thing about espers and guides. In the real world of FL, espers and guides basically classify everyone in society. Every person is either an esper or guide, so it’s not particularly anything special. Being an esper or guide is just like any other trait/characteristic for them like brown or blonde hair or blue eyes or brown etc. however, being an esper or guide is for some reason a special characteristic in the novel, as only ML, his brother, and the saintess have those characteristics. To me, that’s a little odd because we have to assume the author of the novel is from FL’s world, where espers and guides are just everyday life. It’s strange to me that the author made the ML and brother and Saintess being espers and a guide special characteristics considering it’s normal in her world.
At the end of the day, I know it’s not that serious lol but it is something I was thinking about while reading. It’d be nice if the author explains it at some point
