The worldbuilding here feels really lackluster. It's hyperfocused on the Guide/Esper to the point where all the rest feels like hollow set dressing. I wouldn't mind if the characters were interesting, but something about the writing feels like it was done entirely on vibes and has very little substance. Apparently the novel is better, but this adaptation feels like a shallow skim of the surface. RIP because I generally like guideverse
