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.
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?
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

Fucking shit. The got an omega that looks like an alpha dating an alpha but they both fall for another omega that looks like a teenager and realize, almost 100 ch. in that somehow someway they never loved each other, they actually love the uke-looking omega.
Fucking bullshit. Utter trash. It feels very much like "I was never gay, I'm fixed, I'm straight and monogamic, I've found God, amen"
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.

reo & ryoma (main characters, allegedly half-brothers but I think that might be a misunderstanding)
also ryoma x arikado. (classmates, there's a "I like him, funny, usually I like girls" from ari but I think he's just looking for a bond with Ryo cuz he is like his brother, who's probably dead)
Slice of life, seinen, super lovely, an easy reading. Not a lot of romance, definitely not a lot of fanservice, but totally enjoyable.
Just finished the 1st ch. and I'm 100% sure they are not brothers. The father was probably very helpful to the mother, that's why she said he was someone important, but yeah, not the actual father.
After that last panel I'm sure we ain't getting reversible couple :( anyways! That underwear was hot! Sangnam hugging the bear was hot too! And he is right, he was very upfront and honest and they had an agreement. Of course you can revoke consent but that gotta feel pretty shit after all the effort they did FOR sex
