Description

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

Wouldn’t anyone imagine that from time to time?

A scene where your ideal type confessed to you.

“Hyung, I think I like you.”

……However, the reality was harsh.

“So, we’re dating, right? Today is our day 1?”

“Are you crazy?”

Of all things…… Of course!

The first person to confess to me in my life is the one I hate the most in the world!

This is all because of my nosiness.

Again, nosiness is a real disease.

I shouldn’t get involved with this guy!

Still, I am an ordinary citizen 1 and Go Geon-Young is an Esper.

Since the world is different, I thought I would do this in moderation…….

“I don’t like you because you’re ugly.”

“Your eyes must be really bad. Wear some glasses.”

“It’s 1.0, 1.2.”

“Then it’s serious…… It could be a brain problem.”

“It means I’m not crazy, my brain is perfectly normal, and you’re not my cup of tea.”

“Well, Hyung’s tastes are a bit old-fashioned.”

……That was also possible only when the opponent was an idiot.

Please! I won’t like a guy like you!

The MC is just a normal office worker who meets the Esper ML when he's nearly killed by a monster. The ML has a prickly and distrustful personality, and he suspects the MC of doing "something" to him with malicious intentions. He's kinda a bit*h anyway but is especially mean to the MC, so the MC doesn't like him either. But the ML is lonely and has no friends, and our MC is a pushover caring person who starts to pity the ML's circumstances and admire his heroics, so they... more>> somehow start becoming closer.

The first 60~65 chapters are the first "arc": world building, character building, relationship building... just establishing the setting and characters in a slice-of-life kind of way after a traumatic near-death experience in the first few chapters. The worldbuilding is surprisingly deep, and there are some details about this particular Hunter setting that are either unique to it or variations on common Hunter tropes that I think are interesting. An example (and also an explanation about wordage) :

When people develop superpowers, they "awaken". But they aren't called "Awakeners", they're called "Espers". Interestingly, the term "Esper" is used even though that term is usually associated with Korean Guideverse stories. This is probably because Esper abilities are shown to be more mental/psyche-fueled rather than game-like or magic-based as seen in most Hunter works (Espers' powers are effected by their mental state and they can overload themselves, but no Guides are required to heal or purify them or whatever. At least right now, who knows if something changes, I don't know anything past ch. 78 ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯).

Then ch. 65+ comes. And the plot starts to ramp up.

I think it'll be more enjoyable if you don't read spoilers, but I'll put an explanation here in case you're disinterested in reading anyway/started reading but are considering dropping and want to see if future plot developments interest you enough to keep reading:

Spoiler

It turns out that this isn't just a Hunter/Gate story, but an Inter-dimensional Survival Game one, complete with Earth being one of many "servers" in a conquest game, forced to into a fight with hundreds of other worlds by higher beings for some reason. So it's got similar elements to Tower Climbing novels like Reincarnator's Stream or Apocalypse Survival Game novels like Omniscient Reader, and it also has promises of strategic warfare/territory defense against various armies of Earth invaders. It's a genuinely good plot twist because it isn't foreshadowed in any way that's obvious but still makes perfect sense.

This makes this novel one of like four? maybe? BL novels in the Hunter genre that have a survival game-like aspect to them. The plot feels like it ramps up rather suddenly, but it kicks in right at the time where, in other novels, the story's plot would probably start reaching its peak before lasting for too many chapters and going stale. Shaking up the genre here has the potential to give this novel staying power by bringing new possibilities to the plot.

[collapse]

The ML is pretty irritating to me because he's the inconsiderate and unapologetic variety of persistent that I hate (though there is a scene where someone straight up says his attitude is the same as a middle schooler's, and that describes his level of emotional maturity exactly, so the author either made the ML this way intentionally or became self-aware about their writing lol). The MC is also way too much of a pushover to the point where it's annoying, especially because he's aware that he's a pushover but always folds to any kind of pressure anyway. They both get better as time goes on, but under normal circumstances they still would have brought down my rating by a star... but that spoiler tho. 5/5 <<less

While the novel uses the term 'esper', it's not a guideverse story but a hunterverse one (minus the gates).

The MC starts off as a civilian and is a bit naive. He's also a bit of a pushover, but not the kind that makes you throw your phone at the wall in frustration (though it depends on your threshold lol). He does get better and grows a pair, and he does learn not to take everything at face value too. It's not the kind of MC that starts off already smart... more>> or is basically omniscient which is refreshing to me since I've read too many of them. Also, the attitude that the MC has towards monsters and espers is refreshing and quite realistic (as it can get lol) since he starts off as a civilian. He has a 'disconnected' attitude in the beginning and becomes more aware as time goes on, and you can see it in his character development. I really enjoyed reading about his growth here.

ML is a bit of a bit*h in the beginning tho, but with reason. He also does get better over time just as the MC learns not to take his shit. He's also mistrusting (of the MC), but it doesn't last very long haha. The ML does have the typical tragic backstory which makes the MC pity him. (Honestly, the MC's pity for him makes him a huge pushover when it come to the ML but it's fine cos it's funny haha - the MC's reaction, not the backstory, the backstory is sad) ML doesn't have as much character growth as compared to the MC but you can see him caring more and more about him.

The world building is really fun too. The chapters up to 60+~ish show it and explain it well. It shows how the hunter association responds with monster events, which is something I basically never ever see in other hunterverse novels. After around like chapter 70+ish, the hunter association does go under a change due to some spoilers but maintains some structure which is also fun to read about. It also show the view about treating espers as 'celebrities' - another point that is rarely ever discussed in other hunterverse novels.

Interestingly enough, even though it's more of a hunterverse novel, espers can still go on a rampage but there's no guide to guide them. The rampage and power of an esper also depends on mental power which is quite unique. The powers are oddly specific but also broad depending on the character and while it does mention a mana stat (along with other stats), the espers aren't really dependent on these. I hope they do go into more of how the stats affect things at some point though. There are healing potions but strangely no healing espers so far though? But there are good substitutes so I guess it's okay.

At around chapter 70, the world building changes a lot as more things are revealed and the pacing picks up a looot. So much so that it practically becomes an action novel instead of a BL one lol. Up to the romance scene, I literally forgot I was reading a BL hahaha - not a complaint, just showing how it action packed it is haha. I think it makes the novel less stagnant (?) since it's usually at around this time I get a bit tired reading and then bam! New plot development.

In regards to the BL department, at the rate it's going, it's probably going to be a slow burn lol. Mostly because the ML starts off as a SOB (for a while I swear he doesn't stay as a bit*h for long) then progresses to an unapologetic little POS (not in a bad way?). He's infuriating at the start and the MC gets mad (just as the reader does haha), but then his antics start to look more like a childish brat's to the MC (and to the reader) to the point it's amusing. But the ML does become/is reliable for the MC and kind of becomes a source of strength for him. It could also be that my standards for BL MLs have been dragged to the depths of hell, but the ML isn't an f*cking as*hole nor is he a red flag, doesn't really seem like a yellow flag either.

Fun read so 5/5 <<less
