Shadow Slave

I’ve read up to chapter 2285, and while this series has some good points, it didn’t fully hold my interest — maybe because I finished Reverend Insanity before it, which is hard to beat.

The mystery and pacing are nice, but the Underworld arc feels too straightforward. The characters don’t feel truly alive; they’re more like pieces of the plot than independent individuals with real choices.

The main issue for me is the protagonist, the so-called Shadow Lord. His emotional hesitations drag the story down, stopping him from making the bold moves I’d expect from someone in his position. I prefer his 'Mad Prince' version, where he’s far more decisive and ruthless.

Still, the series has strong elements, and Noctis stands out as the best character by far."

The issues I have with it is that tech doesn't seem to be used very creatively to help fight the nightmare creatures

Nephis is very bland character till 1500 chapters untill then no character development is visible for her

A really good novel with an amazing start, only took a couple of chapters to be completely hooked. It really is a so called page turner and i would be stuck reading for most of the day. Probably one of, of not the best book i've read so far.
