Description
I killed the world’s only EX-class esper… and became a national traitor. But now, 15 years later, I’ve suddenly returned in time? And this time—as a Guide? He’s a nuclear-grade lunatic of an esper, but I’m not going to let him die again. No way. “We need to neuter him! Strip Joo Youngha of that so-called free will of his!” “If Jaewon’s my Guide, then I’m happy to die~” If you die, it’ll be by my hand. This time, I’ll keep you under strict control. * * * “Joo Youngha, just—stop for a second.” It’s too much. Too overwhelming to even accept. He’s way too much for a half-baked Guide like me to handle! Joo Youngha looked Seo Jaewon straight in the eye and smiled. His eyes crinkled softly, and his delicate lashes curved like the fur of a sable. “Nope.” That smiling face looked genuinely happy. He’s never looked so alive before…! “You little sh—” Didn’t you hate being guided?!

My Thoughts on Non-returnable-Esper
"Non-returnable-Esper" plunges you into a world of espers, guides, and second chances. It's a story that grabbed my attention with its unique premise and the promise of a complex relationship between the main characters. While it has some quirks, there's a lot to appreciate in this ongoing novel.
First Impressions
Initially, I found the protagonist, the regressed esper-turned-guide, a little difficult to connect with. His actions felt somewhat callous, and I struggled to understand his motivations. He comes across as rather demanding, and it's easy to feel like you're missing something crucial to understanding his behavior.
What Works Well
Despite my initial reservations, as the story progresses, the dynamic between the MC and the ML becomes genuinely interesting. The "cat and dog" or "old married couple" vibe really shines through. I particularly enjoyed the ML's perspective, which offers a much-needed insight into the MC's actions and underlying care. The novel excels at portraying a relationship that, while unconventional, stems from a place of deep concern and a desire for a better future. The world-building is also compelling, with its focus on military structures and the intricacies of the guideverse setting.
Areas of Concern
One area that could be improved is the initial characterization of the MC. Spending more time establishing his personality and past traumas earlier on might alleviate some of the initial disconnect. It might be off-putting for some readers that the MC seems to disregard the ML's human rights in some ways.
