Description

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

He regressed to the first day of confinement.

4 years ago, Kwon Jae-jin, an ordinary person, appeared as the only guide for the S-class esper Seo Eui-woo.

Seo Eui-woo kidnapped him and demanded that he be guided without consent.

“Shall we check now? I wonder if you are a guide that matches me or not.”

“Hurts, it hurts, ah, ngh! Ugh…… Stop……!”

“See, you can do guiding on me…….”

Seo Eui-woo’s crazy behavior, which seemed ruthless at first glance, had a good reason, and after 4 years that felt like war, Jae-jin eventually understood and accepted Seo Eui-woo.

Not only that, he was taken in by Seo Eui-woo’s persistent love offensive and their relationship developed romantically!

They lived happily ever after……!

……It would’ve been great if it had ended with such a happy ending.

One sunny day, a gate in the yard burst, and Kwon Jae-jin got caught in it. He died with his limbs torn to pieces.

BAD ENDING.

That was the story of Kwon Jae-jin’s first life before returning to this point.

This is hands down one of my favorite KR BL webnovels of all time. I understand the low ratings because their relationship starts out VERY rocky and there's a lot of noncon involved in the beginning, but their development over the course of the novel is phenomenal. The growth that both characters, although mostly on Seo Euiwoo's part, goes through cannot be understated. That's not to say that Kwon Jaejin doesn't have his own baggage that he has to deal with.

The plot is that Kwon Jaejin was an ordinary man... more>> until one day, he came across esper Seo Euiwoo while on his way home, gets exposed as a guide (a "mutant" aka a late awakener), and gets kidnapped and imprisoned by him for four years. It takes four years of back-and-forth fighting and development until they finally get to an understanding of each other and even start dating, but then a gate (like a portal) opens up in Seo Euiwoo's mansion one day out of nowhere while Euiwoo wasn't home, and Jaejin dies. The story takes place when Jaejin goes back in time to four years ago.

Spoiler
    • First off, being a mutant means the government wants you dead, straight up. The fact of the matter is that Jaejin and Euiwoo's chance encounter was mainly due to the fact that Euiwoo, the only S-Class Esper in Korea, couldn't be guided by anyone who wasn't S-Class and Jaejin is the first S-Class guide to ever exist. The only reason why the government wants "mutants" dead is only because they can't control them. You see, normally once a baby is tested to be a guide or esper, they literally get forcefully kidnapped into the military and raised as a weapon. It's obviously very shitty. As such, they're not really raised with any morality, just raised to be military dogs who follow orders. I get that it doesn't really excuse Euiwoo's actions, but it makes sense why the novel is centered around his development as a human being.
    • Following that, the main reason why Euiwoo kidnaps and keeps Jaejin prisoner in his mansion is because the government is extremely likely to find Jaejin and kill him if Euiwoo lets him go back home. Even Jaejin himself is aware of this, but he still hates it.
[collapse]

So, yes, even though the couple in question is extremely problematic, I still can't help but love the story anyways. Jaejin's grief over his lover, the twenty-four year old Seo Euiwoo that he left behind after regressing, his fear that he was "killing him" by changing the timeline. A big portion of he novel is Jaejin actually learning to live with this grief, trying to find a way to move forward. He's rational, but he's also very compassionate to those around him, which you don't really get to see until sh*t hits the fan in the second half of the novel because the first half is spent in isolation, but it really comes through in the end.

I could spoil so many of the twists, especially the big one that left my jaw hanging wide open, but I choose not to. Reading the novel the first time was such a ride because both leads kept needing to develop for the sake of the plot, they kept needing to adapt to every new situation and kept needing to fight at every moment just to live happily. Like, my god. THEY ARE FIGHTING HARD!!!!

I know the ML will be a huge turn off to a lot of readers, and I understand why 100000% but Euiwoo really grew on me as the novel went on, and even though he's totally crazy, I think the MC is also a tad crazy

Like, Jaejin definitely gives off "I Will Fix Him Vibes" at the beginning but as the novel goes on, you realize that Seo Euiwoo definitely corrupted him a little LMAOOOO Jaejin became just as equally obsessed over Euiwoo and the commenters were SCREAMING for itttttt. It's only fun when both are on the same level after all ;)

Spoiler

BTW they definitely have a lot of freaky s*x. like seriously... not even gonna go into detail. I'm sure you can imagine it yourself if you're a veteran of this genre.

[collapse]

I will always defend this novel even knowing how problematic it is because their development will always be *chef's kiss* to me. The novel explored so many unique and interesting ideas from a regression + worldbuilding standpoint that I can't not love it for what it is... Author please release more side stories TT_TT I love them too much...

Edit blurb w/ major spoilers:

Spoiler

I have a lot of thoughts about this novel and I'll still love and defend it to the very end. I actually reread it recently so I have a more fresh take on my mind. Anyways, I disagree about the author trying to make the reader forgive ML about all the noncon, I think the author does have a decent amount of self awareness when it comes to the unhealthy parts of their dynamic. A lot of revealed information just gets drip-fed since Kwon Jaejin isn't the most reliable narrator. The author makes it very apparent that a lot of Seo Euiwoo's actions are unforgiveable and inexcusable, especially the big one later on. A lot of Kwon Jaejin's built-up and suppressed spite comes back when it gets revealed that Seo Euiwoo wiped his memories of his childhood and family. And I don't think Kwon Jaejin truly ever forgives Seo Euiwoo for doing that (even after things get resolved), at least there's never any indication of it. But I wholeheartedly believe he can still love Seo Euiwoo despite that. Is it realistic? Not really. But I don't read fiction for it to be realistic xd

I admit that a lot of the novel is pretty contrived, like Seo Euiwoo is OP to the point that the whole novel's conflict could be resolved if Seo Euiwoo just used his S-class esper powers to take over Korea or something, but I kinda love the fact that the novel is more about his development and understanding what it means to be a human being, and learning that there's more to life than just plain violence.

I don't like noncon, but I don't drop novels just because it's present. I don't like the novel because it has noncon either, I like the novel because Seo Euiwoo and Kwon Jaejin have a complex relationship forced by a dystopian esper/guide type setting, even the KR commenters said things like that the main couple would've had a good relationship from the start if circumstances were completely different. But that's not this story, and nobody is forcing you to read a story that has noncon present. I'm particularly flabbergasted at the idea that a story could ever "justify" noncon in the first place... not that this story was ever trying to do that lol. We can disagree all day about the interpretation of their power dynamics (I think Kwon Jaejin stands his ground quite a lot and is able to draw boundaries that are followed by Euiwoo) and that's just a agree-to-disagree moment, I'm moreso confused at the blatant virtue signaling other readers over a r-19 bl smut novel that came with the appropriate trigger warnings. At least it did in the original source material.

Sorry for being a total Shen Yuan (mentally ill reader moment) but it's baffling to think us reviewers have to be given a lecture in another review about consent when that's not our responsibility. I'm just a guy who read a novel, I don't know why we're being told noncon is bad when yeah, clearly it is, we know, thanks.

I just finished reading the MTL because I cant wait... And I cant believe I actually LOVE THIS?! First, if you want to read this, bear in mind that there's a lot SA. So if you cant accept dat, dont start and complaint later. Go read other lighthearted novel..

The ML is indeed EXTREME. But, you have to understand that he was born and grew up thinking that SA in guiding is a normal thing. The setting for the Espers in this novel is that when they were born, they were... more>> taken by the government and put in military camp to learn to be a killing machine. Common humane sense is not in their mind at all. They are brainwashed to think that SA, injuries and even death is a normal things.

MC is a regressor. After spending a lot of times in the future with ML, he totally understand why the ML is like that, and now he regress, he wanted to tame the ML and have a normal love relationship and life with ML. So even if the ML SA him, instead of getting mad, he tried to coax and teaches ML how to have s*x properly.

You could say that it wasnt easy to teach a killing machine to become a human, but at the end, both MC and ML learn how to live with each other properly.

The ML has a cute and childish way of speaking, while the MC is matured and always give in to the ML, but not in a weak like manner? I mean, when I read the novel, despite being confined, assaulted, I never had a thought that MC is weak hearted. He knows he wants to live with ML, so he never give up in taming the ML.

I think only in the last chapter, ML finally have a stable mind, looking like a normal human. It feels weird when the ML talking seriously because before that I only see him as an immature brat 🤪

There's a lot of smut, but the plot itself is good too, and not that complicated since the story focused more on their relationship.

++ I would definitely reread this again when the translation is all done 😆 <<less

I'm reviewing early cuz I see this novel has way lower stars than expected.

This is a novel with a very fricked up ML. We literally have the tags 'Rpe victim becomes lover' and 'Obsessive love', of course it's fricked up! Why would you expect a healthy relationship from a novel with such tags? (In my opinion we should add Psychological, too.) No, this is about a guy with a fricked up life who fricks someone else up too, and they both somehow end up in a fricked up relationship together... more>> because of the fricked up world. If this is not to your taste, do not read. unfvcktheworld said it all- rocky relationship, no consent, we're not here for sugar and sweets, we're here for pain.

Second warning, this novel is kinky af. I love the kinkiness, it satisfied me to the bone, but know that I am a dirty freak who finds plain ole' love boring. Beware if you like vanilla. Or, um, explore a new world of possibilities (?) lmao.

But if you can stomach such topics, then you cannot deny that the novel is well written. The ML and MC both have reasons for acting the way they do. They act very realistically, and their characters develop so well.

First is MC... oh boy, he's the best shou/uke I have ever seen. Ever. I love him so much. Unlike other novels where the shou is either doted on, or they just cry about their circumstances and don't do anything, this shou is proactive. He has everything together, he's got the mental strength of steel, and he makes the best out of his situation while still remembering to curse at the reason why he's so fricked up. He's relatable and really refreshing and not the standard crybaby MC, he acts like an adult, and he's like 90% the reason why you should read this. Though I hate unequal relationships, especially in romance, he's the reason I continued reading.

As for ML, I actually grew to empathize and pity him over the course of the book. I started to want better for him; of course, his circumstances do not excuse the horrible things he did at the start, but I can just understand why he's such a s*umbag. And the MC does the same; because he knows what the ML's been through, he understands. (Though he does kinda get Stockholm Syndrome later, watching that's fun too.)

A similar novel would be 'Turns out I'm Crazy', if you like this novel, read that; or if you like that novel, try this. Both are beautiful pages of mindfrick that dig at you, the reader. <<less

I never understand when people who don't like dead dove problematic topics hate-read novels clearly labeled as such in the tags, synopsis, previous reviews, etc and leave clearly biased reviews and low ratings. Why bother subjecting yourself to something you know you won't enjoy when all the warnings are in front of you, leave the page and don't go forward.

Anyways, I fully read this a long time ago from the raws due to unfvcktheworld's review and it's what I expected it to be: a twisted problematic story, with a MC... more>> that has Stockholm syndrome and a ML that undergoes character progression from being purposely raised by the govt as an inhuman weapon to someone who grows more human, but it's a story that enticed me nonetheless. The situation between a first life ML and a second life ML was resolved well to me. And despite being a guide in the worst situation, MC never backed down from his greatest want
Spoiler

to regain his lost memories of his family despite the risks

[collapse]

I'm also glad the author made a short side story continuation after the ending
Spoiler

where the MC and the ML visits the MC's family because I was happy to see the couple more after everything was all over and it was one of the topics that left my heart hanging, MC's family

Read a couple of chapters, felt uncomfortable, decided to drop it, and then I read unfvckthewor's review which convinced me to keep pushing forward! And I'm glad I did!

It's a tough read, especially in the beginning. It wasn't until around chp16 where I finally felt immersed enough and comfortable enough with the characters and premise that I began to enjoy the novel for all it offers.

We see the world from Jae-jin's perspective and it's f*cked up. He knows it's f*cked up, and even Eui-woo recognizes its f*cked up (or at... more>> least that he's not 'normal')

But they're both characters trying to make the best of the shitty world they've either been dropped into or the shitty world they were raised in. And also figuring out what kind of relationship and feelings they have for each other now that they know they can't be separated. (Is it a survival need? Lust? Hate? Resignation? Infatuation stemming from fascination? Love? What kind of love? Etc)

It's kind of a psychological mindf*ck that left me gripping for more as they explore the complexity of all sorts of feelings. And its so well done at making you empathize with Eui-woo, but never condoning his actions. Ever. But then again, how do you go about punishing or guiding someone who was never taught ethics to begin with?

It's hard to describe this novel because the discussion can go on and on. It's really a battle between each other and themselves, over and over again until they come to physical, mental, and emotional compromises. And by the end of the novel, I felt both exhausted and so accomplished at how far they've both come and this was probably one of the best novels I've read this year. I really rooted for the both of them and their future.

Just prepare for a bit of heart wrenching angst. <<less

I actually really liked the story, especially because both Kwon Jae-jin and Seo Eui-woo were well-written characters.

There are some aspects of the world-building that felt a bit lacking (like the absence of a typical guide character) but maybe the side stories will expand on that.

Seo Eui-woo is one of my favorite Black Flag male leads I've ever read. He's complex in a horrific, unhinged, yet strangely pitiful way. Kwon Jae-jin helps stabilize him, but honestly, in real life, I wouldn't wish someone even 10% like Seo Eui-woo on my worst... more>> enemy.

Edit 02.10.25: Sadly, there isn't much world building or an alternate timeline in the extras. I would have loved that, but the extras were still weird and cute. <<less

Ohhhhh boy. Where to start with this one. First off, if you can't stomach non-con, then avoid this story at all costs. There's a lot of it. Part of it is due to the fact that the ML was raised in an environment where guiding isn't about pleasure or romance, but a basic requirement to keep Espers from going berserk no matter how unpleasant it is for either party.

The ML is Obsessed with a capital "O". He's a walking black flag who doesn't understand the word "no". Totally obsessed and... more>> unhinged, but he also has puppy energy. Like a total derpy dog bounding recklessly and doesn't understand he's a 200lb dog with super strength. There were parts in this story that left me speechless. This story is completely bonkers, but that's also part of the story's charm. Some parts left my jaw hanging in shock. Others left me laughing in disbelief over what I was reading. Overall, it was a decent read.

The biggest flaw in the story is the lack of side characters. 90% of the story focuses on their relationship (and A LOT of smut). The MC talks briefly to maybe 3 other characters in 100+ chapters (and they don't appear until halfway through the novel). If you're looking for a wild "I can't believe he did that" ride, buckle up. If you're looking emotional depth and a thought-provoking story line, move on. <<less

A story of an S grade Esper who finally finds his guide and instantly kidnaps him and confines him.

The level of obsessiveness displayed and covered in this novel does deserve the title.

The Esper feelings is always extremely intense, madly, obsessive and Labrador doting love.

... more>> There’s so much detailed banging it feels like it’s every fourth chapter and no boundaries kept untouched. He’s so obsessed he loves doting on the small things like he trimming nails and making his meals because that will fuel him and become him.

They live in a society where people are either awakened at birth or later awakened and those who awaken late are eliminated and that’s why he’s kidnapped and confined. <<less

What a crazy read! Both of them are crazy, it's their world and other characters just living in it.

The first few chapters was uncomfortable to read, but it's worth it because it get much better afterwards. The title says it all, it's a story of MC taming his crazy obsessive boyfriend (and got a little crazy along with him).

Both of them are complex characters, with complex problems. When they're torn between choices, I felt their agony. And that what makes this intereseting.

Early review

Current ML is actually cute. He is like a dog. He be like communication king, but MC was so overdone with pre-ML so his skepticism is understandable. Mc's reactions is so real I like him for that.

I was expecting angst. Dark angst even. But I feel like Im reading fluff?? Angst was in the first chapters and flashback, but yeah them being in a clumsy relationship makes me feel like a mother goose watching 2 kids grow.

As a guideverse, I don't think the world building is too strong? The... more>> story (atleast currently first half) focuses on two diff worlds. The normies and the hunters. Both have a big gap. One is like the slaughterhouse and the other is, well reality.

I can smell a big conspiracy in the higher ups. There's a big foreshadowing about planets that I still have no idea what.

Im halfway done. This is fun <<less
