    The message I got from this novel as a black man.

    It's okay to be a slave, sometimes it's what you're supposed to be. Maybe our master will be very good to us. And if we tried to fight this fate, we will destroy our chance for survival.

      As another black man I say that not everything has to be a parallel or a metaphor for the real world, you don't have to take it as a message it is just the circumstances of the story, not once has G3 portrayed the shadow bond as a good thing it is kind of an additional flaw for Sunny and is thematic for a shadow to follow

        I mean the one good thing about Shadow Bond is that it adds and compliments each other's power which completely breaks the power scaling in the story

      Shadow creatures are also black. A coincidence?

        Yes, coincidentally they are the same colors as the shadows in the real world...

          That's what I'm talking about. Shadows in the real world also have no will of their own, they are subordinate to the one who casts them.

    I wanted to ask this question, who are your guys favourite shadows? My ranking is:

    Nightmare (pure aura farmer)
    Saint/ Serpent (interchangeable)
    Slayer
    Fiend
    Marvellous Mimic

    I didn't add Vile but it would probably be above mimic and fiend, maybe slayer as well

      Saint is my mom

      Fiend is just a chill dude, i like him.

      Serpent\Nightmare feels kinda same for me. Like two tuff and cold guys who you can always rely on

      Mimic is the same as Fiend, but dumb. I see him more like a pet then a comrade or ally

      Slayer could be higher, but i dont feel strong connection between her and Sunny yet. I feel like she is incomplete. Same for Vile

      1. Saint: just to epic, has shown growth is just build diff.
      2. Slayer: not that much development but her lore is so peak and the way she fights is so great.
      3. Fiend: i just like the guy, he has sunny complex its petty and funny, the comedic comander of the bunch.
      4. nightmare: i like the horsie.
      5: serpent: its cool but it doesnt have the lore with sunny to make me feel close, its a drop from legacy so its to be expected.
      6. mimic: mimic.
      7. Vile: honestly im so traumatized with the chicken family that if i could put him lower i would

        I want Serpent to be peak so bad but he has literally zero development, he just gets stronger everytime Sunny does. Like he’s peak asf, obviously, and Sunny gives him some crazy aura lobs sometimes (“because all of Serpent’s enemies were dead” 🔥 ✍️), so he’s strong and reliable and pulls his weight. But I don’t have the same emotional attachment that I have to, say, Saint or Fiend.

    Is it only me or anyone thinks about the flaw of Effie's husband would've been a pretty good solution against Asterion at the start of the arc
    If sunny would've tried to weave a supreme or sacred memory of having that ability and somehow bind it to asterion, it could've prevented spreading of plague.

          For those memories to resist the influence of a supreme, what rank do you think they should be? and how many would Sunny have to make?

    Are we getting stronger or weaker?
    All this fighting and setting the stage for the story to restore his name.

    The result: being robbed, enslaved, and Asterion's unresolved problem.

    The positive side: Romantic memories, a new shadow, and the status board; and let's not forget the return of the mysterious Cassie who speaks like Aizen from Bleach (aizen : everything was part of my plan).


    Are you reading the same novel as us? Losing a few memories even sacred ones doesn't make him that much weaker. He lost two sacred shades but he could only use one at a time either way and in return, he got a shadow who was able to take down the Wolf, and hold its own against two Supreme Titans and a Supreme Beast.. Sure, it might turn out to be a ticking time bomb but for the time being, it's an exceptionally useful Shadow... Not only that, he got back his Fate and True name.. allowing him to actually progress in the main way of getting stronger without become sacred..

    The result: being robbed, enslaved, and Asterion's unresolved problem. I think you forgot to mention the above results and the enslavement is more of a power buff than a weakness. Now Nephis can constantly heal Sunny's Shadows making his infinite Shadow Army actually infinite..

    Does it seriously matter to you all that Nephis can control Sunny? It's not like either of them wouldn't do what the other says either way... We literally saw it just now with Nephis readily accpeting to fight a CURSED TERROR.

      All this talk about the clash of wills and how to change the world to conform to your own desires—all of this points to freedom, I mean the free will to change and create a world according to your wishes. This is the opposite of the slavery of the shadow. How can a will bound by constraints aspire to the top to change the laws of the universe?

          Sunny's will to be enslaved again?

          That's a strange statement, hahaha.

          What I mean is that choosing limitations means choosing the responsibilities and duties we must fulfill, and that's what we experience in our lives over time.

          And I quote Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who said:

          “There is no freedom without responsibility.”

    Sunny is strong when fighting enemies on same level but weaker when compared to cursed and sacred opponents... The only reason sunny was able to defeat wolf, abundance, rat king and puppeteer was because they were restricted by the game... Even at that it was very difficult for him.
    Apart from the sacred creatures he killed in the game, he had difficulty controlling the rest.


    For those of you crying... The difference between Sacred and Supreme is very vast... You guys got comfortable with Sunny killing cursed creatures in Ariel game. Slayer and Condemnation were not killed by sunny directly, he killed their shadows which was much weaker and even at that he had issues controlling them. If he had let slayer be, she would have destroyed all his shades and his soul see. He killed the VTB directly so what did you guys think would happen?

        The Sacred and cursed creatures in Ariel's game were also nerfed... The cursed devil sunny ran away from was also nerfed but it was able to put sunny to sleep with a mental attack. If sunny had faced puppeteer outside the game, he would have zero chance of winning... Even Asterion with his mental prowess and fortitude wouldn't win

      That’s just some of the petty it stole from Sunni. As I think about it, the VTB is not malicious. I don’t recall reading that it ever attacked first. Except for Sunni, but he did have her baby in his soul sea.

      She’s just a girl that likes pretty things and has no qualms about stealing them.

        Dude the 2 strongest supreme titans both almost died to kill him and then he just unkills himself, thats bs but not too insane but g3 deciding to take a shitton of sunnys shades and memories and even his aspect legacy reward is just dumb especially considering sunny isnt sacred or anything so all those high level shades that he struggled to kill and that are rare asf are gone

          I'm more concerned about why Sunny survived again.
          Couldn't VTB have killed him from the inside? It's VTB, for crying out loud.

      G3 needs to take advantage of every opportunity to nerf sunny.. especially now with the return of the spell.

      Even eithout the items how do you think his runes would read out of the spell?

      7 supreme titan incarnations; with 6 divine lineages; 2 asoulbound artifacts; 7 supreme shadows with wills. 5th level divine legacy aspect awakened.(Correction 4th)

      That's not mentioning about his Domain yet

      What does Mordret have? Unawakened legacy and a million dead skin walkers from his failed apotheosis.

      Asterion? He's idea and life is about to be sucked away clean in the vilest method possible
