Description
Lee Su-hyeon is judged to be a Dual Awakened, even rarer than S-class Awakened, possessing both Esper and Guide abilities. However, due to his low rank, he’s quickly overlooked by the public. Living quietly like a background extra, one day an unimaginable, dream-like opportunity comes his way. His guiding compatibility rate with Song Ji-hyeok, a newly recruited S-class Esper at the guild, turns out to be over 80 percent. But life isn’t so simple. Song Ji-hyeok openly ignores Su-hyeon due to his low rank… “Let me say this again, I have absolutely no intention of pairing up with you. So stop wasting your energy like this.” His expression was emotionless and calm. If he had sneered or acted arrogant, it might have sparked some defiance, but his matter-of-fact delivery made the impact even greater. After maintaining silence for a moment, Su-hyeon barely moved his lips. “But you heard what Manager Park said. The higher the matching rate, the more efficient the guiding…” “I said I don’t want to.” The sharp interjection made Su-hyeon’s mouth shut automatically. Song Ji-hyeok let out a sigh and stared directly into his eyes again. “You look like you don’t understand, so I’ll be frank. To me, a guide partner’s rank is far more important than matching rate. Honestly, how dare a C-rank try to match with an S-rank? Have some self-awareness.” “……” “I’ll fulfill the period the manager mentioned, but that’s it. Persuasion won’t work, so you should give up.” It was perfect defense. He had somewhat expected this, but if the rejection was truly because of rank, there was nothing he could do about it. ‘…Nothing. There’s nothing.’ But still! He couldn’t just quietly let go of this opportunity that had come his way. Throwing away unnecessary discouragements, he looked at Song Ji-hyeok with eyes full of determination. “Since I’m your junior by both experience and age, I’ll speak casually. While I can’t change my innate rank, I’ll do my absolute best. I’ll make sure you won’t be satisfied with anyone’s guiding but mine, so be prepared.” Despite the bold declaration of war, the guy wasn’t intimidated. Instead, he just sneered as if Su-hyeon wasn’t even worth dealing with.

My Thoughts on Beyond The Control
Alright, let's dive into "Beyond The Control." This novel, with its blend of action, fantasy, romance, and a healthy dose of mature content, certainly promises a wild ride. Having read through the available material and considered the overall reception, here are my thoughts.
First Impressions
The initial hook is strong. The premise of a determined MC striving to become a guide, despite societal doubts and personal hurdles, is genuinely compelling. I was immediately drawn in by the underdog narrative and eager to see how he'd overcome the challenges ahead. The world-building, with its "gate to another world" and dungeon elements, felt familiar yet intriguing enough to keep me invested.
What Works Well
The protagonist's cleverness is a definite highlight. I appreciated his resourcefulness and how he navigates the complexities of his chosen profession. The handsome male leads, though perhaps a common trope, are well-executed and add to the overall appeal, especially for readers interested in the romance aspect. The guild system and the exploration of dungeons provide a solid foundation for action and adventure, keeping the plot moving at a decent pace.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that gave me pause was the treatment of guides within the story. The concept of "coupling" and the seemingly casual approach to physical intimacy raised some questions for me personally. While I understand this is part of the "adult" genre and caters to a specific audience, I felt the execution could have benefited from more nuanced development, particularly in establishing emotional connections before jumping into more intimate encounters. The story would have benefitted greatly from a slower burn and a more organic development of relationships.
Final Verdict
"Beyond The Control" offers an engaging blend of fantasy, action, and romance, anchored by a resourceful protagonist and a world ripe with potential. However, the handling of certain mature themes might not resonate with all readers. If you're looking for a novel with a strong focus on plot-driven action and aren't particularly sensitive to potentially controversial relationship dynamics, this might be right up your alley. For me, it's a mixed bag – the initial premise and the protagonist's drive were captivating, but certain elements left me wanting more depth and emotional resonance. Overall, I'd say it's a decent read with some caveats.
