Deep Pivot

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Due to trauma, the esper Ji Seo-joon refused to have a dedicated guide. He had been receiving low-quality guidings for years due to his aversion to contact with guides and repeatedly low matching rates.

In front of Seo-joon, who was on the verge of exploding from accumulated fatigue, a guide with a miraculous matching rate appeared.

【98.8%】

The protagonist with an unprecedented figure, Cha Yeon-woo, was still a high school student who hadn’t even graduated yet. He was thrown into the field without undergoing training, as if they didn’t care if he died.

“Uh, I’m not a kid. I took a year off, so I’m twenty years old… I hope you don’t say I’m too young, even if you don’t know the other reasons.”

Seo-joon couldn’t help but feel itchy in his chest at the innocent and dedicated appearance of the rookie guide…

Both the MC and ML are green flags! The MC actually annoyed me a bit at the beginning because he’s so kind hearted and pure that he seems like a pushover but he’s actually very resolved and I love how his character develops. The dynamic between the MC and ML has to be my favorite part of the novel! Their relationship feels very realistic and they’re so sweet together. The plot is also well written and suspenseful!

Shoutout to the translator too! They’re a newer translator but so far I have... more>> seen zero issues and the chapters read smoothly. <<less

I love it so far. A earnest puppy dog top (and guide!) committed to his super cool OP esper *chef’s kiss*. I love their dynamic. They’ve both been through a lot, but every time they’re together, it feels so right! I’m really excited to read more.

This had more body horror from the ML than I was expecting from other reviews and the description

Spoiler

It's implied ML tore off his previous guide's head and possibly ate some of him while they were "guiding" and that's why he has to be muzzled and doesn't want deep guiding now???

[collapse]

It also makes ML and his supporting medical staff's approach to MC quite dubious, particularly in the way they're getting his "consent"

Spoiler

MC clearly doesn't know any of this and they don't tell him about the stakes involved, for example, even down to even the abort button they give him in the treatment room with ML. MC clearly thinks it's just a stop signal, like maybe to the staff outside, when it's actually a "call in the national guard" type situation and ML continues to... not tell him? Even when he can see MC going to press the button??? Also why give him the button there when ML can so easily stop him from using it anyway... orz why am I expecting logic from webnovels...

[collapse]

So this is a case of dubcon because MC is not fully informed. Maybe it gets better; it's certainly nowhere near the worst example in the genre, but I was going in expecting something fairly sweet and "green flag", and this ain't it. I'll update this review if I give this story another shot. It otherwise seemed like a fairly typical sentinel/guide story, but decently translated and nicely readable. Darn getting lured in by pretty cover art 😂 <<less

I’m writing a review because I think this story is a bit underrated. I’m not done with it but it seems pretty interesting so far. I love the relationship between the MC and ML. MC is sweet and soft but can be strong when he needs to be and ML is so pitiful (his circumstances) but also strong.

Spoiler

I left off at the part where an S class esper that died/ killed in Russia death led to no more gates opening in Russia. So now this organization is coming to kill ML and warn others to do so as well so that the gates may be stopped.

S class Espers for some reason feel really drawn to the gates/rifts ML almost walked in once but was stopped by MC

[collapse]

I might have confused some facts because it’s been a while since I’ve continued reading because I’m letting it marinate. <<less

I love this novel so much!! It is so lovely, hot, sad, sweet and lovely again. Please give it a try.

the translator is really good even when this is their first work in this world (guideverse and modern) so some the last chapter are a little dificult to get but they are still readable (just like 2-3 chapter) and when you tell them they change it so is okey.

I was really surprised and impressed by the story - the rating should be higher than it is. It guideverse but with a few things I really enjoyed such as Cthulu-horror-elements and some role-reversal.

Things do feel a bit weird/icky at the start (the red button for one was a bit frustrating, why didn't anyone tell the MC what it actually did?), and also the ML's past with actually

killing his previous guide during s*x. It felt like a weirdly horrific backstory for the author to include in the story vs something like the guide just dying tragically from a dungeon or from a lighter mistake instead.

[collapse]

However, as you continue reading, that backstory did have an impact and was meaningful to the growth of the characters,

Spoiler

eg. The ML had ED due to his psychological trauma for a large chunk of the story,

[collapse]

and the way the relationship developed was actually extremely wholesome and beautiful.

There aren't any super dramatic misunderstandings and the pacing was wwell done. Both characters go through well-crafted character development and relationship development. Some of the side characters were very vividly written as well

Spoiler

such as the team lead's dad and the head of the research facility.

[collapse]

Overall a really enjoyable story that had a lot of focus on the romance but also some horror-mystery elements. And the translation was pretty good, though there was one chapter that needed editing (because chatGPT turned the ML into a girl). <<less

This is not the most riveting story, but it is a relatively cute story - cute in how both the main characters love and treasure each other so much. Setting is a bit dark, but it keeps it interesting.

The frustrating part is: ... more>>
Spoiler

the gates and the origin of the No-Named are never explained! How can you not explain this?! Author, this is a very large plot hole! Also, what happened to the rest of the No-Named? The author tries to wrap the story up by saying now there's hope for others, but no one else has a 98% matching rate and a guide that practically worships them, so it seems unlikely that the situation has changed for any of the others... nor is the director who hired the assassins ever punished, so that's frustrating too
