Description
I possessed a character in the hardcore, tragic BL novel The Swamp of the Guide, where an obsessive top imprisons the bottom forever. Unfortunately, I became Lee Yeonsu, a villainous sub-bottom who, out of jealousy, is killed by the obsessive top. It was despairing, but still better than possessing the main bottom, who suffers the top’s obsession and ab*se before being eternally confined. Lee Yeonsu tried his best to deviate from the original plot. He rejected the exclusive guide contract with the obsessive top and avoided even making eye contact with him. Finally, the fated day arrived when the obsessive top and the main bottom were destined to meet in the original story. “But why is the obsessive top sleeping in my bed?” The obsessive top, Joo Seunghyuk, claims to be a staunch believer in c*astity before marriage and demands that Lee Yeonsu take responsibility for him. Lee Yeonsu struggles to escape the top, but the more he resists, the deeper Joo Seunghyuk’s obsession grows…

My Thoughts on How the Guide Escapes the Obsessive Lover
"How the Guide Escapes the Obsessive Lover" is a completed web novel that I recently dove into, and it was quite the ride! With its blend of fantasy, romance, and school life elements, it definitely kept me entertained. The story revolves around a guide navigating a world with espers and obsessive relationships, and I found myself intrigued by the premise.
First Impressions
Initially, I wasn't entirely sold. The protagonist came across as a bit of a doormat, which made it hard to connect with him. He seemed to lack a sense of self-preservation, often letting others walk all over him. However, as I continued reading, I began to understand him better. His timidity, especially around the male lead, started to make more sense, and I grew to appreciate his character development.
What Works Well
The romance aspect of this novel is a major draw. The male lead's obsessive tendencies are portrayed in a way that's more endearing than alarming. Some might even say he's a golden retriever with past trauma. He's devoted to the protagonist and willing to do anything for him. The plot twists kept me on my toes, and the way the protagonist confronts his own assumptions about the world and characters was refreshing. The humor is also a big plus; the misunderstandings between the characters often lead to laugh-out-loud moments.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story overall, there were moments where the pacing felt a bit off. Some chapters seemed to drag on, with unnecessary padding. I also felt that the main plot points could have been revealed earlier, rather than saving them for the final stretch.
