Seon Jae-chan, the intelligence service’s ‘snake,’ a human ampler and success-oriented human specimen, was a guide known for his evil acts committed in the name of unrequited love for Esper Go Woo-jin.

When faced with death, he sincerely repents the past and wishes for Woo-jin happiness. Perhaps it was because of this that Jae-chan woke up again 6 years ago…

The person I wished to lean on and rely on was such a young person.

Woo-jin was much younger and more beautiful than he remembered. Jae-chan made a new plan, this time to become someone who helps Woo-jin and other important people.

[SUCCESS PROJECT]Jae-chan has succeeded in all projects except for his love for Woojin.

Will he be able to complete this project successfully as well?

    I might appear abrupt, so consider this a heads up. Initially, I disagree with the claims that the main character (MC) is the villain. He seems like a relatively rational time traveler, or however you'd call it. He's just an ordinary guy. The criticism about him being selfish and preventing the male lead from meeting his past love is absurd. The MC didn't actively intervene; he merely didn't go out of his way. Why should he? He didn't travel back in time to become a matchmaker.

    The story is fantastic overall, with relatable characters. The MC is a charming and determined individual, while the male lead is deeply devoted. I'm confident you'll enjoy it.

    I simply can't resist the urge to delve into it. It's difficult for me to move on and focus on other tasks during the day, as I feel compelled to read further. This is an exceptional regression story.

    The storyline is a thrilling rollercoaster, with unexpected plot twists that caught me off guard, despite being familiar with the genre. It's both satisfying and humbling to see where my predictions align and where they don't. The characters are well-developed, each with their own motivations, from the antagonist I despise to the likable Yu-ram and his aunt, and even those who evolve into unexpected kindness. Their growth and interactions feel genuine and believable.

    The world-building is intense, almost Kafkaesque at times. The initial setup seemed unfair, with a potential for a typical "good vs. evil" narrative, but the truth is far more complex. Most characters are morally gray, making the situation all the more gripping. The innocence of some characters stands out amidst the chaos.

    As for the romance, it keeps me engaged,尽管进展缓慢 but beautifully portrayed. By around Chapter 100, their relationship solidifies, and their deep, unspoken love is captivating. Even without explicit content, the emotional connection would still draw me in, given how intriguing the plot is.

    Honestly, I believe I would still be invested in this story even without the romantic elements, solely because of the compelling plot. I'm eager to discover the conclusion, and I might resort to using a translation tool if needed.

    For some reason, I thought the story had concluded, leaving me stranded. It seems I might need to continue with machine translation. The main character is intriguing. Although he considers himself a villain, I'd argue he's more like an unreliable narrator, a victim of circumstances. Given the messed-up state of his family, he could have had a much darker path. He wasn't perfect, but he genuinely worked hard to achieve his position.

    The backstory reveals a shocking reality: coming from a family with a strong Esper legacy, his identity as a Guide led them to reject him, treating him as disloyal. His older brother manipulated and abused him emotionally and physically, forcing him into guiding. The father holds Guides in contempt, covering up for the brother, while the MC struggles for acceptance without success.

    In his previous life, we learn that the MC sought therapy to overcome his issues. It's comprehensible why he was fixated on ML, as she represented hope in his bleak existence. His obsession with her, though misguided, stemmed from a deep desire for connection. Unfortunately, his actions to win her over inadvertently pushed them apart.

    As I progress, I've reached more intense parts of the story. It might be around chapter 120 when ML finally succeeds in... well, let's just say it involves a significant development. So far, the MC has abstained from penetrative sex, despite his past encounters and plans in his重生 life. Surprisingly, given the morally ambiguous nature of the Guide world, he's found partners who respect his boundaries.

    Overall, the writing is commendable, with compelling character motivations that make sense. However, readers should be cautious due to the presence of potentially triggering themes.

    I wholeheartedly endorse this recommendation! The romance in the story is delicate yet well-developed, showcasing the protagonist's growth and affection for the main character (ML). He acknowledges his past selfishness and obsession, which leads to a transformation. The MC's unique perspective as an ordinary individual洞察到esper leaders' flawed nature, and his actions, though initially manipulative, become a source of intrigue. However, the toxic dynamics within the esper community are portrayed brutally, likening their behavior to predatory instincts.

    What I appreciate is the scene where the protagonist's student stands up for him against these shameless esper advances. It's disheartening to see the MC unaware of being exploited and choosing to suffer in silence due to his guilt over his intense feelings for the ML. The pace of the romance is slow, focusing on tender moments, but the underlying tension keeps the reader engaged without delivering the anticipated explicit content.

    For now, I'm eagerly continuing to read, curious about how the story unfolds.

    I fervently wish for this story to receive an anime or webcomic adaptation, as the narrative is exceptional. It's evident that a lot of thought has gone into crafting it, making it highly engaging. Although the romantic aspect develops gradually, the intricate plot and world-building captivate the reader from beginning to end. A big thank you to the translator for choosing this unique tale; esper stories seem relatively scarce compared to other genres.

    This is my first time leaving a comment, but I just had to share. The main character (MC) is adorable and has a very relatable personality. He's not a perfect character, but rather a complex individual with flaws, which makes him all the more compelling. I believe his upbringing plays a significant role in shaping his perspective on relationships and contributes to his low self-esteem.

    I respectfully disagree with those who claim that he hasn't changed after returning. Although his behavior might seem consistent at times, he does put in effort, and there are moments where he struggles to control his actions. The male lead (ML) is fantastic, and we get to see him through the MC's eyes, but it's important to remember that the MC's perception is colored by love, which might not always be accurate. So far, we've only seen glimpses of the ML's imperfections, and I'm excited to see more development in his character.

    Primarily, I'm penning this review at the current juncture to give praise to the series for its captivating portrayal of the guideverse concept. Many guideverse stories I've come across tend to overlook the intricate mechanics of guides and espers, treating the setting almost as an afterthought. However, I greatly appreciate how this narrative delves into it: Espers experience mental strain upon using their abilities, and Guides possess the ability to alleviate that stress by synchronizing their energy waves. This explanation is both straightforward and surprisingly detailed compared to others I've encountered – unless, perhaps, I've just been reading different ones.

    Additionally, a special mention goes to the first meeting between Jae-chan and Woo-jin in R19. It was incredibly sweet and heartwarming, almost painfully so – I'm not exaggerating when I say that chapter had me grinning from ear to ear, feeling a deep sense of tenderness despite their lack of physical connection. The intimacy portrayed was genuine, reflecting a profound emotional bond that could only exist between two people who truly care for and trust one another.

    I'll definitely update this review later as more content becomes available. For now, I don't think there's anything new I can add that hasn't been expressed eloquently by other reviewers.
