Description
A dirt spoon, Noh Hyeji, whose resentment over not owning a home runs deep. But now, she’s a Guide Spoon?! Apparently, that’s what it means to be an S-Class contact-type Guide. (She decided to forget the fact that she only scored an F in radiative guiding.) After six relentless years of saving money while working as the exclusive Guide and secretary of Han Kanghyeon, the strongest S-Class Esper alive… Ta-da! She’s pregnant! 〈 If Party A (Guide) becomes pregnant due to negligence in contraception, the contract is immediately terminated once Party B (Esper) becomes aware of the pregnancy. 〉 〈 Party B may claim damages from Party A for violation of this clause. 〉 No! My precious apartment! She finally bought her lifelong dream, a Han River view apartment, with a 20% mortgage, only to face the possibility of it turning to nothing. She doesn’t want to leave Kanghyeon for another Esper. It’s not that she’s particularly attached to the CEO himself, she just likes his money. Just when all seems lost, a loophole in the contract shines a ray of hope. 〈 Once Party B becomes aware of the pregnancy 〉 So as long as the CEO doesn’t find out, it’s fine? “It’s not your baby, CEO.” “…You had a boyfriend?” “Yes.” “……” Defend the Han River view apartment at all costs! But why does Hyeji’s desperate struggle to avoid contract termination keep spiraling out of control…?

My Thoughts on Deal Breaker
Alright, let's dive into "Deal Breaker." I recently finished reading it, and I've got some thoughts to share. Overall, I found it to be a pretty enjoyable read, even if it didn't completely blow me away. It's the kind of story that's perfect when you're looking for something light and entertaining to unwind with.
First Impressions
Jumping in, it felt like familiar territory. The story definitely leans into the guideverse trope, which wasn't a bad thing, but it also didn't necessarily break any new ground. It's a world with established rules, and "Deal Breaker" plays within those boundaries. Still, I was intrigued by the contract aspect right from the start.
What Works Well
One thing I really appreciated was the intelligence of the main characters. It was refreshing to see both the female lead and the male lead making sensible decisions. The female lead's dedication to the contract felt grounded. It wasn’t just about some grand moral stance; it was about self-preservation, which I found to be a believable and relatable motivation. Watching the male lead stumble over the very contract terms he created was also surprisingly satisfying. It's always fun to see a bit of karma in action! The characters themselves felt rational, even if they were a bit quirky, and thankfully, they avoided that holier-than-thou attitude that can sometimes plague these kinds of stories. The romance was sweet and, while predictable, still managed to hit the right notes.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, my biggest reservation is that it doesn't bring anything particularly innovative to the genre. If you're looking for a groundbreaking, mind-bending story, this might not be it. The plot is fairly predictable, and you'll likely see the major plot points coming from a mile away. However, if you go in expecting a light and easy read, you won't be disappointed.
Final Verdict
Ultimately, "Deal Breaker" is a solid choice if you're in the mood for a short, sweet, and witty romance with a touch of fantasy. It might not be the most original story out there, but it's well-executed and enjoyable. I'd recommend it if you need a quick escape and appreciate well-developed characters.
