The Guide Played Her Role as a Stand-in a Little Too Well

Description

Karina never expected to find herself inside the pages of a novel—especially as a villainess destined for ruin.

But that won’t keep her down!

Taking charge of her new life as an S-class guide, she strikes a risky bargain with Duke Robert Apharantes: her blood to heal his powerful but tormented son, Hedonia, in exchange for security and a mansion on a private island to call her own.

Determined not to overstep her precarious role, Karina sets out to help Hedonia, whose painful awakening could either make or break his future. Yet, things quickly spiral beyond her control when Hedonia offers her more than just his desire for revenge.

Thrust into a delicate balance between trust, survival, and loyalty, Karina must navigate the intrigues of noble houses, dangerous dungeons filled with menacing creatures, and the expectations placed upon her as Hedonia’s “substitute.”

Will Karina remain merely a substitute in someone else’s story—or will she rewrite her fate, claiming a destiny far more comforting than the one written for her?

It's ok. None of the characters are really fleshed out but they seem interesting enough, I only wish the writing felt a little less vague.

Also the whole learning how to guide seems to be kind of pointless. She touches them, they're guided. The more they touch the more efficient it is. What more is there to learn? No mental exercises or prep is done. Only non contact guiding takes her one lesson to learn but that also seems to be it

As of ch72, all of them seem interested in FL... more>> but it could be because she's an S rank guide rather than real liking. And we have glimpses of their personalities. They've killed one boss all together.
Spoiler

With Hedorian she has kissed a couple times and he just revealed he's a man. FL has also kissed Esban but just to guide him.

[collapse]

I might drop this, there's clearly an overall plot being built up about monsters and dungeons becoming more dangerous, but I'm just not that interested because to me the writing feels pretty detached. <<less

FL: She is just trying to play her role that her character played in the novel without the greedy intentions of her character. She is weak to the ML’s looks. Is a powerful guide that transmit energy or power to espers to calm them down and make them able to use their abilities more without it taking a toll of them. She is taking the place of the ML since he is disguised as a woman due to his controlling father.

ML: He isn’t awakened yet as a guide and in... more>> poor health in the beginning. He hates his father for his controlling nature over him and wishing for him to awaken as a guide and wishes to end it before meeting the FL. When meeting the FL, he is referred to as a grumpy cat by the FL since he is serious and hot tempered but he does slowly feel attachment to the FL since she is the only person who he can trust to escape and take revenge on his father. <<less
