First Interstellar Guide

Description

The B-73 human base was attacked by a deformed species with heavy casualties. The Falcon Special Warfare Team was ordered to go to the rescue, when Lu Zexuan saw a strange teenager in the basement full of debris.

The young man was pale and thin, his beautiful black and red pupils did not react at all, and the palm-sized spirit body of a white fox was dying at his feet.

—This is a badly injured guide.

Lu Zexuan immediately took him back to the safe area for treatment.

Within a few days, a number of mysterious officials died in the security zone.

The Federal Investigation Department sent people to investigate but found out that these dead people had more or less intersected with the boy with different pupils.

It’s just that every time, when these people die, he has a perfect alibi.

——

Lu Zexuan doubted Yu Ran’s origin, in order to find out the truth, he submitted a matching application to the association and took Yu Ran with him.

Soon, this news spread in the circle: “I heard that Lu Zexuan, an S-class sentinel, took a fancy to a C-class little guide?” “That guide is only 18 years old!” “General Lu really has a unique taste.”

At the federal banquet, the newly grown guide came followed by the tall general, looking innocent, pitiful and weak. Lu Zexuan subconsciously protected him from behind him.

Until one day, the Falcon Special Combat Team was surrounded by mu*derous alien creatures, Lu Zexuan was seriously injured and on the verge of mental collapse.

Before he lost consciousness, he saw the guide beside him stretching out countless spiritual tent**les towards the beasts.

Yu Ran, who was usually simple and innocent, his gaze at that moment was decisive and sharp, his strong spiritual power made all monsters instantly surrender to his feet.

He stepped over the corpse mountain and blood sea of the beasts, calmly walked to Lu Zexuan, and stretched out his hand towards the sentinel: “Do you need me to protect you, General Lu?

Lu Zexuan: “…………”

——

No one knows that the boy with different pupils who is innocent on the surface actually has a terrifying and powerful spiritual power.

He was the first guide in history of the Federation to awaken dual spirit animals.

i cant say anything else other than read this!!!! Great story, good pace, good romance, everything is just right. I cant say much else than read this!

the story itself isn't very long, 99 chapters, or at least isnt as long as other chinese novels. The translation is pretty okay and understandable, so is the mtl. It's stretched out quite well, and I wasn't bored throughout it at all. I actually read this in one sitting. It's overall a very satisfying story, you probably won't be disappointed reading this. The side... more>> characters are cool as well, you won't be annoyed with romantic drama or non/dubcon in this story. Some of the characters were a bit mysterious, and surprised me when I found out who was behind what. It was overall very fresh for me and very enjoyable.

the MC is very cool. He isn't innocent or a wimp, he's cunning and cool. Very charming, a bit evil even but he has his reasons behind his actions. He's great at acting and quite op, not as much so that the story goes his way entirely, he knows how to restrain himself and when to let loose, not sure if other readers would like this but I do. His spirit foxes are very funny, especially in interactions with ml's eagle.

the ML is great, he has his suspicions about MC but they are dispelled over time with ploys by the MC. He's a very charming character, funny as well. Him and his eagle make for a very entertaining duo. ML is rational and his eagle is a bit dumb, their interactions alone are great, but as I said earlier even better when they involve the mc's foxes. ML both before and after figuring out that MC is acting is very funny as well.

not too many cons I can point out, maybe the end was a bit too fast, and the conflict between the MC and the villain got over too easily, some people might find more, but that really was my only note. The story deserves its high rating imo, but please give this a read and see if you like it!

This is a solidly well written novel, with great plot progression and a mystery that is slowly built up and very engaging the entire time. The protagonists are likable and multidimensional, side characters have depth and are genuinely interesting, and villains are well developed with clear (evil) motivations and strength that makes them a real threat, adding to the excitement.

The plot is so thrilling, with MC acting undercover for an organization of unclear origins and motivations, while hiding his abilities and sneaking around committing mu*der and theft. The conspiracy runs... more>> deep and the author masterfully builds the mystery with twists that feel natural and supported. Action scenes are a lot of fun to read, and I was definitely on a high reading this.

MC is so badass, and while he's definitely OP, he has so many close calls that it keeps the excitement levels up, never knowing if he might get caught in the next moment or not. His acting is always impeccable, which isn't entirely believable, but he does have a backstory that more or less explains why he is the way he is. His visible personality does change a lot over the course of the novel, but it's a very natural process.

ML is also strong, though to a slightly lesser degree. He has a unexpectedly innocent and cute side to him with how he falls for MC, and he's a very loyal and devoted lover. While he's not necessarily the most interesting and well developed character, I still really liked him for how well he treated MC.

I really enjoyed the interactions between the two protagonists, both before and after secrets were revealed. After they let their walls down, they have a very equal partnership and mutual trust in one another, and while romance isn't the central focus of this novel, it's still well done. The first few extras expand on their relationship a bit, and the extras with them as childhood friends had me grinning the entire time, it was just so cute. Romeo and Juliet type vibes haha

Though this is a guideverse, it does have some ABO elements with how there's marking and mpreg, but that's mostly just in the extras. Also while some guides do have the ability to heal, there's more a focus on guides who use their spiritual powers for offensive purposes, something I haven't seen before and really enjoyed! There's also no mecha (I removed that tag) and sentinels/guides instead use spiritual tent**les and beast companions to fight. They can also take on features of their beasts, like ML with his flying ability.

The TL is a bit rough in the first few chapters as it's vaguely edited MTL, but it does get better. Looks like it has been dropped, but MTL is readable and better than I would have expected! Highly recommend this one if you're looking for something super engaging and with a happy ending that takes work to achieve. (Update: Looks like a new TL picked this up!! Best believe I will be re-reading.) <<less

Edited to Add: OMG why did I click two stars???? I don't know how to change it! It should be like 10 stars!!!

Absolutely loved it! The story, the world-building, the pacing--A+. My favorite Sentinel/Guide novel so far.

MC is a little OP, but in a good way where you won't mind it. He's OP like Sherlock Holmes or James Bond is OP--you know it's all gonna work out but you stick around to see how it all plays out.

But the thing that made the novel amazing was the world-building. I loved... more>> the way the author expanded on the sentinel/guide mechanics. Neither is weaker than the other they're just humans but one has evolved mind powers (every guide basically has a computer for a brain) and the other evolved their body (every sentinel is more physically capable and has a knack for hands-on things). I also love that guides aren't just there for healing, most of them actually take on research jobs and there are attack guides who aren't even good at healing at all.

Just a refreshing break compared to the usual 'weak guides' trope you see from time to time.

Read it! It's a relatively short novel with great pacing and a good cast of characters! And definitely hunt down those extras--theyre worth it. <<less

Aaahhh so gooood, I love itt

I just saw the author when I finished reading and didn't realize its one of my fav authors. Definitely worth reading.

I thought it was gonna be the typical cold OP ML and side MC (if u get what I mean) but noo, the MC deserves the title of MC. The ML aint the typical ML either, the combination of him and his spirit body is really funny.

... more>>
Spoiler

I mean u rarely get a story where its pointed out that the IQ of the MC is higher than the ML no?well in this story its more the IQ of the spirit body. Because in this story sentinels have the physical advantage while the guides have the mental/spiritual/memory advantage

[collapse]

I cried a few times, MC's experience, ML's, the side charas mannn it was sadd. Glad that they have their good ending.

Im glad the MC and ML have each other to lean on when they go through troubles. It was really nice that it was not love at first sight kind of story, like the first reviewer said they had their suspicions and gradually got to know each other.

Spoiler

MC is a double agent and ML will help him later on

[collapse]

Their wedding

Spoiler

very unique, with the witness of MC's close alien friend (mother figure) and her little children 🤭

[collapse]

Their children

Spoiler

in the extras. Its half mpreg lolz with only 3 months in the womb and later in a birth chamber for the next 6 months. THEY HAVE TWINSS. Their spirit bodies are one phoenix and one white nine talied fox

[collapse]

The cons:

I actually found some but I don't really remember and one of them was already mentioned by the first reviewer.

Spoiler

so its like some parts already build up momentum but in the end it was just explained like not to my expectations, like it could be more cooler or something idk how to explain it

One of my top reads this year! Seriously amazing story, it had me hooked the entire novel!!

I love to see a strong and smart MC, plus the ML is sweet and so caring (him and his spirit body are really funny)

The guideverse system and world building is what really pulled me in! The romance building up was the perfect cherry on top

Very recommend even to people who have never read guinevere before!

Okay read. Plot outline is interesting but MC, Yu Ran, and ML, Lu Zexuan, characters lacked depth. The persistent questioning of MC's identity at the beginning of the novel didn't make sense. The frequent reminders of MC's unusual power, good looks, and 98% matching made me wonder if the author's releases had a minimum word count requirement.

So I'm neutral about this novel, with a slight lean towards unfavorable. I finished the main story but am skipping the extras since I stayed to uncover the villain.

... more>>
Spoiler

SPOILER...

...

MC is a powerful S class guide with dual spirit bodies. He's undercover to find the mastermind of the secret organization that killed his parents.

Only the Marshal, his grandfather, knows his true identity. The secret organization doesn't trust MC yet but gives him assignments to test his loyalty and abilities. They want to control the sentinels with drugs. So they had MC get close to ML. ML is a S class sentinel.

Over time, MC trusts ML and reveals his mission. They work together to fool the secret organization, uncovering the villains. Actually, the mastermind is an alien capable of morphing into different disguises. They wanted to take down the country from within and occupy the planet.

And of course, MC and ML fall in love and have a happy ending.

wow!! This is such an amazing novel!!

I want to say first, for this review, that this is a VERY plot heavy novel. Like, SUPER plot heavy. I had to take some breaks as I was reading it because I can only take so much dense plot in a single day lol.

but that doesn't mean the story is bad of course, it just depends on what kind of a story you're looking for. Personally, the attributes I'd give this novel are ACTION, INTRIGUE, and DECEPTION.

super fun! Really a roller coaster of... more>> a plot but it all adds up in a very logical way! There aren't any plot holes at all, and the author carefully lays everything out step by step.

I really love how despite the MC being very powerful, the story and plot still make it so that he has to use every bit of that power to survive, so there's never a point in the story where it seems like he is powerful just for the sake of being powerful - it all serves a purpose!

I love the slow progression of the romance, too.

Spoiler

the romance doesn't REALLY kick off until the MC tells the ML the truth, which is about midway into the story. After that, the ML gets to know the real MC and not the act he puts on, and they make slow but steady progress.

[collapse]

Spoiler

funnily enough, the only "loose end" in this story is that the MC has never told the ML he hates sweets. At least, not in the main story. I haven't read the extras yet so IDK if it happens there, but I like to imagine the ML's expression when he finds out lol.

[collapse]

despite the romance having a slow progression, everyone is so busy with the plot which just never rests that there's very few moments where you wish the romance would have more of an impact. In the first place, this isn't a story you should read if you're looking for something with a bigger emphasis on romance than plot.

the romance is still very satisfying, especially by the end!

Spoiler

MC is always so busy with the plot that he doesn't have time to think about romance or feelings but towards the end of the story, after ML confesses, he begins to think about it and doesn't spend any time on denial like "no! I can't like him!" or whatever. He is just confused since he never liked anyone before. So, when he comes to a decision, he tells ML right away. It's very refreshing compared to some other shous that always waffle back and forth between whether they like the ML or not or whether they should say something or not.

[collapse]

overall, it's a fantastic story! Highly recommend! <<less

It's a nice novel. As what others said before, the interaction of the animal manifestation & guide/sentinel is cute. There's also a lot of characters in it, varying from foe to friends.

Ran Ran's past is quite tragic, considering his age & experience. It can't be more dog blood with him becoming a ... more>>
Spoiler

double agent.

[collapse]
Fortunately, he found someone who will accompany him in all things, dangerous or not. I'm happy for him.

Cons for me is probably the stereotypes.
Spoiler

Example is at the main lead's wedding, it's not husband & husband but husband & wife.

Another example is; guide is just a support while sentinel is at the front line. It's seen more at the twin's situation when they exchanged identities to be a guide & sentinel. Because I thought that when Ran Ran revealed his identity, guides will not be a traditional guide anymore. They can also be at the front lines fighting side by side with their sentinel. Evidence that it can be done is Ran Ran. He's OP as hell.

[collapse]

Aside from that, I'm good. Overall, this an okay novel to me. I rounded off the 3.8 to 4 stars. <<less

Good novel but not a gem.

I liked the uniqueness of the MC and the plot but I felt like the relation with ML lacked some alchemy / hotness between them.

The secondary characters are a lot but not that developped as well.

I still recommend it bc I like strong and smart MC.

This is one of the best novel, I like the author too. Her writing always make me want more. God bless the Author!!!

For this novel, the tension was deliciously good especially when the MC and his allies trying to defeat the villain. MC is smart and cunning, when I read his backstory, I can't stop crying. As for ML, he is very good character too. ML is very understanding and patient. When he learned the truth about MC, he fully trust MC and willing to help him.

Honestly IDK how describe this novel other than this novel is Amazing!!! The translator did a very tremendous awesome beautiful job on the translation. Thank you translator!!

Do you want action? Thrilling story? Suspend? Maybe a little sad story? Romance? Give this novel a try! I bet on one pineapple that you will like it!!≧∇≦ <<less

Somewhat predictable ML but super cute and savvy MC. Really loved the “spy-like” beginning, even though the story pacing lost a lot of tension and steam at the end.

MC was a little too OP

Spoiler

apparently nobody cared that he basically mu*dered like 4-5 sentinels in the beginning.

[collapse]

I liked the side stories a lot, but main story was somehow a lot less exciting after the first part.

One of the better Guideverse story out there.

I didn't expect to find an espionage story here~ Written neatly, it's not very easy to guess the mastermind behind everything.

There are some interesting twists, it's not all about the 'together with love conquers all' kind of story.

Five stars from me. I like this.

A fun space opera with sentinel and guide elements, with okay lore and world building. It's not super deep, but still a good read.

It doesn't strictly follow how most Sentinel&Guide centric stories go, but I like how the author went with their own version.

This is more of adventure plot first, romance second, so do expect that while the MC and ML realize their feelings and communicate pretty maturely pretty early on, they have priorities. Like actual 'matters of life and death' priorities lol.

Spoiler

So most of the romance scenes are relegated to the extras. Any relationship build up is mostly focused on familial relationships, building trust and a partnership that leads to love.

The plot that the author proposes to create initially is interesting, although at the beginning it is a little difficult to persist in reading, since the writing is not good. The biggest problem I had with this story is how the plot developed, especially at the end.

The author has no political or social knowledge, only throwing out information that makes no sense at all, or rather, she has a child's view on political issues (of a capitalist society). To make matters worse, there are many prejudices (mainly of a colonialist... more>> and supremacist nature) between the lines of the text, at times my eyes even bleed, it is really disgusting.

On the other hand, the couple has minimal interest, it is not well developed, but they make a good pair. Unfortunately, you have to have willpower to put up with the nonsense the author writes throughout the work.

Of course, this story still captured my attention. It has many beautiful and emotional moments, the way "the truth" is revealed is also well organized, with a great construction of the characters, their motivations and pasts. <<less

Nice story with minor holes. A bit obviously straight forward without hiccups.

The story progresses in a straight forward style. While MC had lots of bad experiences during the last 5 years, from the story start on it went rather "smooth ". Well, as smooth as an undercover job can go. Not only is our MC well overpowered but he also has solutions for the unsolvable.

In my opinion the story was easily predictable and lost a lot of tension. But it was still enjoyable.

MC and ML are likable and keep up... more>> with their communication, what's a plus. There are no dogblood misunderstandings.

I also like that the Sentinel and Guide are on the same level and are equal to each other.

I recommend reading but do not expect the overhyped perfect novel. There are things missing and minor things left dangling. <<less

I highly recommend this novel for its well-crafted plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The story immediately draws you in from the very beginning with the MC Yu Ran who is a mystery himself. When the ML enters the story, even he is wary of the MC. From there, the story moves along quickly.

This was a tightly woven story where the author did not waste time on unnecessary details. Side characters were great additions, and the world-building was truly impressive with both... more>> smart and silly spirit animals.

Even though this story is plot heavy, the romance is there. I really appreciated how the romance was built up over time, and built through gaining an understanding of the other.

An all-around fantastic story! The twists and turns made this story hard to put down. Definitely 5 stars!! <<less

I love how the details were revealed slowly in such a thrilling way. But despite the tension, the story overall felt warm and gentle. You can't help but root for the MC and everyone else's efforts to save themselves. And the antagonists weren't pushovers either.

Spoiler

My favorite couple was Mohr and Lu Chengan! I was pretty sad when it was revealed that Mohr has been grieving in silence, so I was really glad for him when the author revived Lu Chengan lol
