Description
At the age of 30, S-class guide Park Hyunsoo, who belonged to Team D, closed his eyes for the last time. After escaping the exhaustion of his former life, he thought he could finally rest comfortably, only to find himself suddenly possessed by the body of the rookie guide Lee Jaehee. ‘No matter how I think about it, this is just like something out of a novel or webtoon, isn’t it?’ However, unlike the protagonists in those creative works who easily accept possession and shamelessly mimic others, he has no intention of living like that. The only thing left to do now is: “…Actually, I’m not Lee Jaehee but the ghost of Park Hyunsoo who recently died.” All he has to do is exorcise himself! “The reason I gathered you all here so suddenly is not because of…” As the man hesitated, Minchan’s brow furrowed deeply. “What do you mean, ‘not because of’? Why are you stammering?” Minchan snapped, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere in the meeting room. The delicate-looking man, who had been silently observing the situation, let out a deep sigh and mumbled in a low voice. “Chan-ah.” The unexpected use of his nickname made Jung Minchan frown. The only person who could address him so familiarly had recently passed away. “What the hell?” “What kind of language is that in front of adults?” “…What did you say?” “I told you to be polite to adults. Did you really act like this when I wasn’t around?” “You… what the hell are you doing?” In response to that question, the young man—no, Park Hyunsoo—grimaced. “Your Hyung. You little shit.”

My Thoughts on The Youngest Wants to Be Exorcised
First Impressions
"The Youngest Wants to Be Exorcised" grabbed my attention with its quirky premise. A protagonist possessed, not wanting to be saved, but actively trying to exorcise himself? That's a twist I can get behind! It promised a fun and light read, and I dove in expecting a supernatural romp with a unique spin. The cover art is also pretty eye-catching, which definitely helped pique my interest.
What Works Well
What immediately stood out to me was the MC's proactive approach to his possession. Instead of the typical damsel-in-distress scenario, he takes charge, which is refreshing. The story maintains a consistent level of tension, driven by the MC's internal conflict and guilt stemming from the possession. This creates a compelling narrative that kept me engaged throughout the 100 chapters. I also appreciated the balanced harem dynamic. It seems all the love interests get roughly equal attention, avoiding the common pitfall of some characters being sidelined. I found myself enjoying the peaceful and even humorous take on the afterlife, a surprising but welcome addition to the supernatural elements. The plot, while not deeply exploring the intricacies of the Esper-Guide universe, dedicates a significant portion to the possession and paranormal aspects, giving it a unique flavor.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the constant tension, I felt that it also contributed to a lack of a true climax. The story maintains a steady pace, but it doesn't quite reach that peak moment that leaves you breathless. Also, readers should be aware that even though the story has some more mature themes, it remains within the bounds of R-15, so if you're looking for something extremely explicit, this might not be it.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The Youngest Wants to Be Exorcised" is a fun and engaging read, particularly if you're looking for something light and unique within the fantasy genre. The MC's proactive nature, the balanced harem, and the humorous take on the afterlife all contribute to a delightful experience. While it might lack a definitive climax and doesn't delve too deep into the Guideverse lore, the focus on possession and the paranormal makes it stand out. I'd recommend it for anyone seeking a supernatural story with a fresh perspective.
