Description
I transmigrated. I became a side character Guide who dies unable to withstand the power of the S-Class Transcendent male lead. The story goes that the male lead, traumatized by my death, overcomes it after meeting the heroine. For his growth and romance, I’m supposed to obediently become a sacrifice, but… “…Do you think I want to just die quietly?” What’s more, my death also becomes the trigger for the villain here to develop a terrible hatred for the male lead. Why? Because I’m his older sister. Damn it. ‘As the head of the family, there’s no way I can die and leave behind my cunning but lovable younger brother.’ So I decided. There’s no reason this story absolutely has to have trauma. So first, I’ve got to survive. I started looking for a way to change my death. “I can keep secrets very well. Why don’t you test how obedient I can be to you, senior?” “It’s because it’s you, senior—not anyone else.” “I don’t need any Guide but you. I want to be loyal only to you, senior.” Just what’s the problem here, in the middle of all this headache. “Cadet Ortis, have you perhaps been hiding your rank?” S-Class. Even my rank has become strange.

My Thoughts on Guiding the Male Lead out of His Trauma
"Guiding the Male Lead out of His Trauma" had a really interesting premise, and I went in hoping for a compelling story about overcoming past hurts. While it has its strengths, I ultimately found myself a bit underwhelmed.
First Impressions
The initial setup is quite captivating. We're introduced to a female lead who's transmigrated into a novel as a tragic extra. Knowing her fate – to die helping the male lead control his powers – she's determined to change the narrative. This "guideverse" concept, combined with the aristocratic fantasy setting, immediately grabbed my attention. The idea of her also being the villain's sister adds another layer of complexity that I was eager to explore.
What Works Well
I appreciated the FL's proactive approach to changing her destiny. Her decision to protect her brother and her interactions with the male lead are initially engaging. The concept of her becoming an S-rank, seemingly diverging from the original storyline, definitely sparked my curiosity. There’s a clear devotion from the love interest, which is a trope I often enjoy, and the "European ambience" of the world is well-executed.
Areas of Concern
Despite the promising setup, I struggled to fully connect with the characters. While the plot points were interesting, the emotional depth felt somewhat lacking. I also felt the story lost some momentum as it progressed, making it difficult to stay invested. The male lead's characterization, while intended to be sympathetic due to his trauma, didn't resonate as strongly as I'd hoped.

Final Verdict
"Guiding the Male Lead out of His Trauma" has a lot of potential with its unique premise and fantasy setting. However, the lack of deep emotional connection and some pacing issues kept me from fully enjoying the story. While the initial chapters are intriguing, the overall experience left me wanting more. It's a decent read, but not one I'd necessarily rush to recommend.
