Kinda like the Omega verse, a different way to class people instead of just female/male.
There's Espers (people who gained powers, speed wind etc)
Usually if they use their powers they experience a side effect. But it differs from story to story.
And there's Guides, they're the ones who heal the Espers when they experience the side effects of they heal their wounds. (Usually through sex)
The guide's healing can differ based on their compatibility, typically it's S rank Guide and S rank Esper that are together.
Guideverse is usually in a world where dungeons/gates (like the ones from Solo Leveling) appear and Espers are required to enter and clear them.
Espers usually have a ranking system with the usual F-S ranks.
Yeah ik it's not harsh dw. I just don't like tropes where they have to have sex to do stuff cause it makes the sex just a job and allows the guide to be exploited. Same reason why I'm not a big omegaverse person either. It's easy with those tropes for the author to make the mc get raped. There are good ones though obv I just don't like taking my chances only to be disappointed
Here -
It's basically differentiate on how authors wants to execute story with concept of guidvesere I will explain simply --
- Esper - is a person who has strongest powers (like fire , telepathy, water or things control type) they are like heroes in the world of monsters like there are monsters they fight government organize them and to control their power or not to let them rampage they need a person who will give them mind peace or calamity to their powers. Sometime esper without a guide become a empty shell so without his guide ,esper is in strongest needs for a guide.
- Guide - is a person who is meant to be with esper but his destination is simple he gives sense of calmness to his esper that's his work is not let to his esper rampage.
They don't become partners eventually cuz they are also divided in hierarchical order like S-rank esper are strongest they need same rank of guide to supervise them sometimes test are made to check if they suite each other if they suite that means they compadible enough strongest the Esper and match the strongest guide they needs to intimate with each other give esper sense of security or power control.
Sometimes guide playes the role of archive wheel for esper who is out of control so it's easier to handle him so people around them don't get injured. For an esper guide become his weakness and it's advantages or disadvantages both.
mostly this guidevese getting popular for making esper a dangerous person who are crazy mostly those are semes, they needs controler so it's important for them to have his own guide.
some guidverse also follow imprinting concept so they don't have to share each other with others especially for esper who are possesive or obsessive type.
