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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

double agent.

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.

It's pretty relevant for the side CP missed their chance to confess before getting back together. The author had a paragraph making it clear that the Sentinel of this pair was able to persevere thanks to his unwillingness to die without sharing his feelings with his crush. Their dedicated extra gives them that missed confession. It's not a bad thing and even a happy thing, but it does change a defining aspect of that plotline which would be fine, BUT they left the discarded element within the main story.

Another is that the first mention of super S guides seems to imply that their civilization only had one such public figure. There are in fact at least four (including the protagonist who promoted in the shadows). The MC finds out the big bad must have the help of a strong guide and any of those three could potentially be an ally to the antagonist. It would have been a lot less dramatic with just one suspect! I'm very glad there is a wider suspect pool in a mystery/suspense/spy novel. If only the author had gone back to properly edit their foreshadowing!

There were others (especially in the first extra), but they were truly negligible. The story still played out very well and were not majorly impacted by said inconsistencies thanks to the author patching up potential plot holes. It's truly just an editing issue they failed at after improving their original plot.

express his feelings until after the mission was completed. ML confessed with words because he wants MC to know, if anything bad happens. He does it for himself and for MC to know, not expecting or demanding a similar response. He's the type who wants to put his feelings into words and share his love by reassuring MC. Meanwhile, MC has worked extremely hard to get where he is. His mind is constantly looking for traps by other or planing to make them himself, to be able to complete the mission he must remain unchanged in his role to be able to execute it perfectly. He's almost a tripple agent if not more, working as a dubble agent for two opposing sides, while being exposed to other parties with different interests who get dragged in. He must remember everything he's ever said, heard, and how he's acted - like a different but very detailed customized person to everyone. One misstep and his plan, his life, and possible the future of humanity is over. As a person, it's natural to be moved my ML's feeling and want to respond - but he just can't afford while the mission is still ongoing. Who he is as a person does not matter to anyone but ML and he can't prioritize ML or himself because of the position he's in. Telling ML he wants to answer is his way of answering. He knows there's something, like love, but he's never had the time to look it properly, the way he feels ML deserves. He doesn't want to throw out some cliche words from a romance movie he can't identify with just to respond to ML with words on the same level, ML wouldn't want that either. He wants to give an answer with feelings on the same level. It shows how much they care about each other, just as deeply even though their abilities to express it are different.

anticlimactic how everything went perfect since they organized their plan on the spider queen planet on how to take down the organization. No mistakes were made and the antagonists barely had a chance to fight back which meant it wasn't that much of a battle in terms of actions. But it was also the result of years of planning and acting on MC's side, doing everything within his power to make sure everyone around him - both enemies and allies - were exactly where they should be. Like a orchestra playing an unsettling melody the final battle unraveled before your eyes and you wanted nothing more than for everything to be over so MC could find peace while hoping everyone on his side would survive. There's always the final moment when the bad guy is defeated and you wonder if they'll get one last hit by making a sneak attack. In this case it did not happen and I'm honestly so relieved it didn't.

about the proposal and then getting married.
