The author keeps forgetting that they're supposed to have extra abilities, and I'm not even sure what those abilities would look like. Likewise, she has never explained what happens when one person has a "fated" name, but not the other half of the supposed pair. Surely there would be some wiggle room if only half the pair is matched?

As of chapter 16, just what, exactly it means to be an esper (i.e. sentinal) or guide has still not been explained.

Despite repeated and emphatic claims that without a Guide, an Esper will be an uncontrollable danger, the male lead's father, a widower described as the strongest Esper in the country, is just fine without a guide and has been for years/ close to a decade. Like the author forgot the rules they set in place themselves.

The FL expresses bizarrely contrasting sentiments that 1) she holds a completely vital, serious, role in assisting an esper not going bonkers, requiring serious work.... and 2) that she has no idea how to do that, or what that entails, or ever been trained. No one appears to have even described to her what guides do. She just assumes it's going to work out.

At first, only

fated pairs are required to marry each other, but then this is retconned in later chapters to

all Esper Guide pairs must be married to each other.

The lack of practical instruction and the requirement that Espers and Guides must be married combine to give me the suspicion this au trope has gotten mixed with that Chinese wuxia one of "dual cultivation" and that the FL's main job as "guide" is going to be nothing other than providing s*x on demand when the ML gets upset. Bleck.
