Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life. However, even he did not anticipate being chosen by the Nightmare Spell and becoming one of the Awakened — an elite group of people gifted with supernatural powers.

Transported into a ruined magical world, he found himself facing against terrible monsters — and other Awakened — in a deadly battle of survival.

What’s worse, the shadow powers he received happened to possess a small, but potentially fatal side effect… Collapse

        I was wondering because in webnovel Guiltythree uses a different picture… And I’ve never seen him post this picture anywhere so either I missed this or it’s from somewhere else.

    Flaw: [Clear Conscience].

    Flaw Description: [You cannot lie.]


    This novel is built upon huge inconsistency. It says he cannot lie. It doesn't say that he has to reply to every inane question and not lie every goddamn time. Which is what happens throughout the whole novel. People who tend not to lie will just stay silent, this is what happens in real life or in other fiction and what is supposed to be happening here. However, it doesn't for some reason. Did the author seriously not comprehend that his character should have had the option to just stay silent?

        Right. And when mc becomes a divine titan by the end of the novel, some random normie child would still be able to exert their influence upon him with some questions because mc is obliged to answer lol. Great concept.

          You should read it, my suggestion is brace yourself and power through it. It gets better after that arc.

              Haha... No surprise there. You seem to be completely unaware of how in webnovel story progress is categorized, beyond the basic chapter and volume structure. And yet, here you are, confidently arguing about things you clearly don't undertand.

      novel's way too drawn out for my tastes, like everything else on scamnovel. But this story is actually decent. There's just so much pointless bloat and monologuing.

      literally zero character development of mc


      This is how you know when a person hasn't read past the first few arcs...

      Character development means the way a character's personality 'changes' over the period of time, not a 'perfect' character at the first chapter or 'one big traumatizing event that changes everything'... This novel has some of the best character development in the webnovel genre. Unfortunately, the development is very subtle so some people don't even notice how Sunless's mindset has slowly shifted over the years...

        That also means they start out low 10-20 (weak/naive) and go to 80-90 (amazing)
        Not start out as -100 (garbage human) and get to -20/30 (barely tolerable)

          Your understanding of what is considered a flawed character and an antagonist is so shit... Try reading ANY, proper book which doesn't have a mary sue main character and tell me that they arent '-100 garbage human'...

            Im not saying this mc is so bad, im just pointing out the flaw in your logic. When i wrote this i was thinking more about grid from overgeared.

            As for this book, i dropped it because of second arc with all that timeskip and flashback shenanigan. Why do timeskip and make it 10x harder to understand the story if you're justs gonna backtrack and do a flashback that makes everything we went to understand and piece together the hints meaninless. Also, i didnt like how submissive mc was to 'forgot her name' (likely female lead??).

              Thats good... The second arc was indeed bad, the time skip just made things very tedious, but that was the lowest point of the novel and it has only gotten better over the years, so if u want you can pick it back up...

                the second volume still takes place on the forgotten shore and is far from the worst part of the novel, you don't even know what you're talking about

              there are no "arcs" and the time skip was after the second nightmare so far ahead in the story, you don't even know what part you're talking about

                idiot, im talking about the timeskip when they reach forbidden shore city and sunny started living alone. That was their FIRST NIGHTMARE, dont speak if you dont understand. If you dont talk nobody will realize how utterly stupid you are.

                  based on which you assume the low rating is because of that when forgotten shore is one of the best parts of the work.

        Really you think this WN has one of the best character development? Then i think you haven't read that many WNs. Sometimes Mc is so contradictives to his values that i think if this is the same mc. And by character development i dont mean mc becoming more cruel or kind, i meant that in terms of maturity.

          Sometimes Mc is so contradictives to his values that i think if this is the same mc.


          I have seen the chapters where people leave these comments and the thing is MC's values are always slowly changing. Many times he comes to regret his actions and many times he has to do things which he is unwilling to do. This character is such a good character because the flaws that he has are all deliberate and part of a wide wide character development arc planned by the author. Slowly Sunny changes over the course of the novel, but that doesn't mean that change is always positive. Character development doesn't mean a character becoming perfect, no it means a character changing his personality as the story goes on, hopefully eventually becoming a better character. At the end of the day, this novel isn't for a person who likes to immerse themselves in the MC's shoes and shout that every decision he takes is trash if it isn't the decision they would take. Its a story about Sunless, read that story instead of trying to judge every aspect of it like you are God or a completely perfect being, and every decision you make is always the correct one and anything you disagree with is wrong...

    This story is really good, I can see why some people would drop it at mid-end of first spell, but from second spell onwards it picks up again, the best parts are real world arcs for me esp the most recent one at 800+. Most novels tend to fall off at the end but this one starts off really strong, dips slightly then get really addicting again
