Description
“I told you. You have to take responsibility for me. We have to get married.” An unexpected difficulty appears in front of Yernia, who tried to find love in her hopes to avoid a forced marriage, but then, she became a dedicated guide to her childhood friend. The current events aren’t happening the way they should be, and they have become so twisted compared to the original novel. “I can’t believe it.” She was just a supporting character who tormented the Female Lead and then died from the Male Lead’s hands. Yet, it is undeniable that Yernia is his guide from the pieces of evidence he had gathered so far! Yena tried to stop herself from marrying her childhood friend, but it turned out she had no choice. However, unlike Yernia, who thought about divorcing him after being his guide for a little bit until the female protagonist arrives, Cassian seems to be serious about this marriage for some reason. Even… “I just can’t calm down today.” “You need more. Huh?” Guiding requires more contact. Well, is this what guides must do? It felt strange, but the most bizarre thing to Yena was herself. Why is her heart shaking so much? The childhood friend, who she used to only see as a younger brother, begins to appear as a man.

I Became a Guide For My Childhood Friend Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on I Became a Guide For My Childhood Friend
"I Became a Guide For My Childhood Friend" promised a charming blend of comedy, fantasy, and romance, and while it has its moments, my overall experience was a mixed bag. The premise, a guide/esper AU, felt intriguing, but the execution left me wanting more.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the "fated lovers" trope and the potential for comedic misunderstandings. The idea of a childhood friend dynamic evolving into something more is always appealing. However, I quickly found myself questioning the characters' motivations and the world-building.
What Works Well
The novel does have a certain lightheartedness that can be enjoyable. The European-inspired setting adds a touch of elegance, and the potential for "cute" interactions between the leads is definitely present. I think the author was trying to create a fluffy, easy-to-read story, and in some respects, they succeeded. The initial concept of fated pairs and the guide/esper dynamic had a lot of promise.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, several aspects of the story fell flat for me. The female lead, Yurnia, often came across as indecisive and naive, which made it difficult to connect with her. Her reactions felt inconsistent, and her supposed intelligence as a reincarnated character didn't always shine through. The male lead's teasing behavior, instead of being endearing, often felt like bullying, making their relationship dynamic uncomfortable.
The world-building also suffered from inconsistencies. The rules surrounding espers and guides seemed to shift arbitrarily, and the lack of clear explanations about their abilities and the consequences of not having a guide created confusion. The forced marriage trope, coupled with the feeling that Yurnia's concerns were being ignored, added to my frustration. I also felt that the comedic elements often relied on the characters' stupidity rather than genuine wit. The lack of action, despite the esper/guide setting, was another letdown.

Final Verdict
While "I Became a Guide For My Childhood Friend" has the potential to be a fun and lighthearted read, the inconsistencies in character development, world-building, and plot ultimately detracted from my enjoyment. The novel's reliance on tired tropes and the lack of depth in the characters' interactions left me feeling disappointed. It's a story with a cute premise, but the execution needs more polish.
