How I generally approach Guide x Esper stories is with the idea that while Espers are technically human, they are psychologically not
They are more like a different species that lives off of sex in my opinion
It helps when breaking down their mentality
I wish they would go deeper into the psychological aspect as well
I view Guides as a kind of bridge between humans and espers if that makes sense
I get that most of them are traumatized by their past and/or encountering anomalities. I get them being all sick fucks, to quote cat-guy. I even mostly get, or let’s say, can tolerate, the very holey and and thin plot.
What I absolutely don’t get and skipped through 99% of it, is the permanent r*ape, gangr*pe and than some more r*pe. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
No, seriously, I don’t understand why they have to treat Yugeon violently to such an extent and r*pe him constantly, while at the same time being severely attached to him and claiming that he is „special“ and „precious“ to them. If you look at it, that’s just an extremely abusive relationship, rooted in blackmail, (survivors)guilt and now it’s bordering on stockholm syndrome.
The author does not make a good job explaining anything in detail and (mostly) doesn’t give us any insight about their innermost feelings and ambitions; what keeps them driving. They push the story forward by leaving everything very vague and ambiguous. I‘m curious as to how it will end and if they’re going to survive or (who is going to) die.
And please, don’t at me with that „why did you read it then?!11“-nonesense. Just because I‘m asking valid questions and/or express constructive feedback, does not mean, that I don’t enjoy reading the story to a certain degree. (￣∇￣")
