After 7 years, I returned from the world of romance fantasy novels to reality. Just when I thought I’d finally come back to a peaceful normal life…

[Breaking News: An area around △△ Station has collapsed due to Esper Y’s rampage. The government has announced they will provide appropriate compensation…]

Looking at my completely destroyed house, I realized something: this world was actually an urban fantasy.

***

I started a small business to make ends meet. First, I learned that running a flower shop wasn’t my calling. Apparently, neither was running a rice ball shop—a Gate burst open right where it stood. Oh, and somewhere in between, I lost two more rented studios to Yeon Woojin. With my last remaining pennies scraped together, I opened a café. And it became a huge success.

“May I have your name for the loyalty card?”

“I’m Woo-”

When our eyes met, the man blushed slightly as he began to speak. At that exact moment, a booming voice blared from the television.

[Fellow citizens!! Our nation’s pride, the ‘Messiah’ Guild, has achieved a world record for the fastest A-rank high-level Gate clearing!!]

The overly excited reporter was announcing news about the Messiah Guild, led by Yeon Woojin, the highest-ranking Esper. In an instant, all the cluttered thoughts in my head were wiped clean, replaced by pure black rage.

My sworn enemy. The one who had forced me into a nomadic lifestyle. Grinding my teeth, I silently cursed.

“That bastard Yeon Woojin… Just wait till I get my hands on you.”

“…”

“Oh, I’m so sorry! So what did you say your name was? I heard Woo…”

“Woo. Joo Wooyae,” the man answered, his face turning pale.

The chapters are short so the story is still in the premices. The translation is very well done and easy to read.

I like the guide/sentinel stories and this one is just that. It's the typical possessive esper/clueless guide romance.

I like the spunk of the heroine who tries her best in a terrible situation. The esper is hilarious because he's bending over backward trying to please her without revealing who he is. He's also the mad dog to others/ pitiful puppy with her.

But the way she refuses to become an official... more>> guide reads only as plot device for now. Her reasons feel bizarre. She needs money and there doesn't seem to be horrible inconveniences as in other stories (no history of confinement of exploitation of guides).

And I still don't really understand why the author added a world shifting part, the heroine was someone else in another world for a time. Maybe it serves to highlight how the main character feels detached from her family and from the actuality of espers but you can be ignorant of celebrities without having been literaly in another world. Or it serves to make her immune the the main lover's beauty by previous immunisation (the prince of the fantasy romance was a hunk) but again not everyone becomes brainless faced with a pretty face. It could become more relevent later but for now I think the author could have achieved the same things without it.

I'll check back later when there's more chapters.

I read a little of the manwha and they give convincing reasons for her not signing up as an official guide. She is traumatised, just not in as obvious a way as usually done. They introduce a second male lead who seems as traumatized as her so they get along well. But the storyline of the manwha is very confusing. I hope the light novel is better <<less
