Description
One day, the world I lived in completely changed. From an ordinary reality to the world of a modern fantasy novel, , and I ended up possessing the body of a villainous Guide who dies early on. “Abilities: F-class. Money: None. Certifications: None. The only thing I have is debt…” There was only one option to escape this desperate situation: Take on the task of Guiding the protagonist of ‘Nasper’, Baek Ju-yul. With that, I engraved the three forbidden keywords for possessors—’Contract, Terminal Illness, Escape’—into my heart and jumped into the original story. The problem is that Baek Ju-yul’s condition started to become a bit strange. “I’ll pay off your debt, so you will become my exclusive Guide.” He pressures me into signing an exclusive contract with his strange logic. “I’ve already given you several chances, and you’re the one who ignored them.” And before I know it, he starts showing signs of a strange obsession. “It looks like… I’ve stepped on a landmine, doesn’t it?” Three years as a reader of possession stories, three years of being possessed. A total of six years of experience sounded alarms in my head. Right now, I’ve been completely and firmly hooked by the protagonist.

My Thoughts on Possessor’s Forbidden Keywords: Contract, Terminal Illness, Escape
Alright, let's dive into "Possessor’s Forbidden Keywords: Contract, Terminal Illness, Escape." With a title like that, I was expecting a rollercoaster of emotions, and while it certainly delivers on some fronts, it also stumbles a bit along the way.
First Impressions
My initial impression was that this is a pretty standard esper story, with a female lead thrown into a world she doesn't understand, saddled with debt, and forced to navigate a dangerous system. The amnesia trope is present, so the FL starts with no memories. It's a familiar setup, but the banter between the leads definitely caught my attention early on.
What Works Well
The relationship between the female lead, Sodam, and the male lead, Juyul, is undeniably the strongest aspect of the novel. Juyul is surprisingly attentive and caring, which defies the typical "cold" love interest trope. Their interactions are genuinely charming, and I found myself invested in their dynamic. The author does a good job of making their connection believable, even within the constraints of the "guideverse" setting. I also appreciate that the male lead explains the basics of guiding to the FL when she asks, and even takes care of her by feeding her and getting her clothes.
Areas of Concern
One of my biggest issues is the female lead's constant suffering. She's always in pain and freezing, and it feels like the world is actively working against her. While the male lead's protectiveness is endearing, the system itself seems to perpetuate her suffering. The debt she's burdened with feels like a plot device to keep her trapped, and it's frustrating to see her mistreated by so many. This constant suffering can really take away from the enjoyment of the story.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Possessor’s Forbidden Keywords: Contract, Terminal Illness, Escape" is a mixed bag. The banter between the leads is enjoyable, and the male lead's surprisingly sweet nature is a definite plus. However, the female lead's constant suffering and the problematic possessiveness of the male lead are significant drawbacks. If you're looking for a light read with some steamy scenes and don't mind some darker elements, this might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for a potentially frustrating experience with the FL's treatment and the overall world she inhabits.
