Yuno is an unlucky part-timer working in a convenience store for Espers and Guides. That means they sell stuff that makes their store look like an adult shop. During his shift, the highest-grade aphrodisiac they have was stolen. He chased the thief, determined to retrieve the stolen Item from their store. But, much to Yuno's annoyance, he found himself in a dangerous situation with Ki Gayoon— the infamous Esper on the verge of a Rampage. How does the saying go again? 'The way to an Esper's heart is through his d*ck.' Is Yuno supposed to, uhm, do "it" to calm Ki Gayoon before he snaps and kills them both? #guide #esper #guideverse
The author did say that this story was inspired by Ding Mo's "Love me if you dare," but I still feel like the similarities between the two main leads from this book and "Love me if you dare" are two close for me to say that the character design is great (since I felt like it was too heavily inspired, while there is nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other stories, I don't feel comfortable with how similar some of the character and scenes from this novel is to "Love me if you dare" ). The backstory of the female lead in this story is much darker than in "Love me if you dare," but practically the same in the fact that her family got killed by a murderer because of revenge. (I didn't put a spoiler tag on this since it is told in the first chapter (i think or maybe it was the second chapter?) Another scene that was practically the same is when the FL lead first meets the ML. (I don't want to put too much detail because I don't want to spoil, but the scene is very VERY similar. I'm pretty sure that some of the lines from this scene are even practically the same as Ding Mo's.) This isn't a bad novel, in fact, it's a very good read. The writing is also good. It's just that although the author said this is "inspired," it still feels too close to Ding Mo's "Love me if you dare," for me to appreciate it throughly.
