Shadow Slave by Guiltythree

Great novel. A top tier one at that.
Extremely slow and average romance which is considered as good for story like this.
Very good world building. Emotional aspect is great too. Great action. Top tier adventure. Quality writing. Average lore which is fine since this novel isn't really one of those lore focus novels. Mixed character development compare to how good overall story is.

The only problem being MC, at least for me.
Wanna be hero of justice MC (for a valid reason) and has questionable qualities, all that sort of characters share.
Annoying since he can hardly save his ass let alone the world.

Childish and immature in many ways. I can deal with it in first 1000 chapters when he was a nobody and teenager who doesn't know much about the world. But increasingly annoying later on. The world isn't as simple, yet MC has many immature opinions about many things. At one point, his childishness cloud logical reasoning. Especially when it come to his naive opinion about Legacy clans and how he keep on shit talking every other time about how unhero of justice they are.
His noblesse oblige mode annoy me.

At any rate, MC is the type who gives priority on emotions over logical reasoning. You will be disappointed if you expect calm and calculated MC who can deal with bitter but efficient choices. Sure, MC suffer a lot from his emotional choices. But, compare to how hellish the world he is in, his set-backs are jokes in comparison. His plot armor cushion him from falling into totally fk up endings. Good for him. huh..

Enough ranting I guess. Over all, this is by no means best of the best but definitely solid great one in this trashy sea of web novels. Clearly written with care and effort too. Will definitely worth your time.

Almost 2k chapters and still good sunny one of the best MC in fantasy and great side characters 10/10

I'm at chapter 947.

I started reading this novel without much expectations, as I thought that it was a bit over-rated and should be somewhat good.

Ah... I'm terribly wrong. This is one of the greatest fantacy kind of novels I've ever read and deserves both recognition and praise. Well, I even consider it to be the greatest. Comparable to LOTM. Personally, I can't choose the best between the two. But you know, I'm more and more liking this novel.

At first, it's really hard to understand various concepts introduced in the novel. But gradually, it really makes sense when you're into the story. Ahh... It's such a journey.

I'm glad I crossed across this novel.

TLDR: 10/10

P.S.
Before I started reading this novel, I came across some comments who said that the main character is a simp and other things. Due to that, I avoided reading this novel for some time. I don't want to be harsh but I don't think they've ever heard of puberty. Anyway, Sunny is one of most resilient and durable person I've seen in the novel... and a little crazy. That's actually the best part.

Also, why are the ratings so low for such a novel. I expected it to be 4.6 or 4.7.
I can hardly believe it. There's also review bombing on the ratings and comment section. I don't know why the novel receives such hate.

PEACE.

honest review after reading 700, I m just too irritated, even after going through so much close death situation and having this much power, any fking random character makes him fear and almost kills him in the fight everytime. we are fking bored to see this weak ass MCs getting nearly killed everytime fighting with random characters. after having divine aspects, powerful memories, good shadows he should be stronger then all fking legacies and he is still getting thrashed by some 1 soul cour awakened nubs that's so bullshit.
Mc at their level should be absolute monster and should be able to fight people with even few minor realms higher strength than him, but in this mc case any fking side characters beats him half dead in every fight.

Amazing novel, read it once at about 800 chaps then waited a while and have now read up to 1900. Will be coming back in another year or two.

Great novel all round with good worldbuilding which changes and brings new things each volume. Great power system which is well established.

The best thing about the book is by far the character development though, not just for the MC but for all supporting characters. No one's an idiot and interactions are believable and develop well. MC starts off as one person and through interactions with other members of the cast evolves into someone else completely. He is dealt a tough hand and has to combat it with wit and a fair amount of madness.

The plot is also well thought out with some twists coming that started developing hundreds (almost thousands now) of chapters ago.
I don't see any obvious flaws in the novel and it only seems to get better as it goes on. Well done Author-san! Overall rating imo 9.5/10

P.S anyone got any recommendations for similar novels. xx
P.P.S yes obviously I've read LOTM xD

Trash novel 0/5 wtf kind of flaw is speaking truth and being a slave idiot author

Why is the lich king's picture on the cover?

Guys, I want web novels that have a good romance in them, and I hope they're not Chinese

Wtf just happened for three days
I can't access the site

Good Dish. Funny that Shadow Slave is surrounded by mediocre novels in All Time Popular top 10 list. Like most of the decent novel here in ranobes, they are in lower list. It's because most people here in ranobes only reads an absolute below average or straight up brainded novels.
