   Well, at least this manhwa is quite unique, especially since the story takes place in a Victorian-like world with a female lead as the central protagonist and two male leads, while NOT being an actual “romance” (but more of some sort of psychological drama or so).
   I appreciate all the deep thoughts around the concept of “guides” who have the RPG-like “role” to calm the rage of berserker-like fighters that tends to go out of control and in case of this story even kill the wielders of such a power. So of course guides would be obsessed over, since they are basically the lifeline of power-users (called “espers” in this story).
   There’s a darker side to this too, because power-users who desperately need guides in order to survive tend to imprison their guides so that they won’t leave the power-users to die, which in return makes the guides miserable. Especially if these guides are transmigrators.
   And if guides are rare on top of that, several power-users would fight over them and also try to trick the guides, all in order to get the guides to stay and help the power-users to survive.
   Well… but the story that develops from these predicaments is somehow lacking sadly. Guides of course would also have leverage over their power-users – so both parties could negotiate and find compromises… but instead this story focuses on the transmigrator’s feelings; mainly distrust, depression, panic and dangerously spontaneous impulses.
   The transmigrator in this manhwa sure acts somehow realistically, different from most romance-protagonists – but she constantly thinks about how to return “home” into her own world (even though she was totally unhappy there) and lets her home-sickness lead her deeper and deeper into depression 🙁
   The whole initial premise is also rather sad: the female lead was pulled into the world of this story against her will (probably “called” by the desperation of the male lead who was in danger of dying and dire need of a guide).
   Weirdly enough, the fl can seemingly match every power-user on this new world, even though she has never found her match for years in our world (quite overdramatically too).
   But of course the female lead has too many trust-issues (okay, for a reason; since the male lead DOES keep secrets in order to keep her for himself). So she runs away without even knowing her surroundings -_-
   Naturally she gets captured quickly – by the rivalry nation though (not really logically) – and is imprisoned. There the other male lead – another royal of course *yawn* – seeks her out and soon also tries to talk her into helping him… Then the other one arrives, and even though the fl pities both, she can’t decide.
   However, she also still wants to return home – but since both mls are royals and essential for the survival and ruling of their respective nations, she also cannot take them with her back to our world…
   We’re nearly at chapter 50, but the female lead still has this urge to run away and cannot for her life get to terms with just living in this new world where she is needed and appreciated 🙁

   Ok, hold up ✋️
   The start was great, now not so much… I take back my initial comment 😮‍💨 Im at chp 47, I need to let chapters stack cuz story went super downhill. Got so boring, after such a great start. Super disappointing but I still have hope that it’ll go back on track in some time

   I wished the story was a bit lighter and would feature (much) less life-threatening drama…

   Anyway, I have a feeling that maybe if they finally find another guide, but the FL is already in love with the ML…

   I don’t like the fact of having a second ML when the main ML isn’t even a trash.😩😩
