Shadow Slave

I was completely hooked from the first chapter.

 Shadow Slave has everything I love—great world-building, action, and a main character you can really root for. 

10/10 would recommend 

Just finished Shadow Slave and I honestly don't know what to do with myself now 😭 This story was everything. The world, the tension, the growth... and Sunny. God, I didn't expect to love that guy so much. One of the best MCs I've ever read, hands down. Nothing else hits like this.

I didn’t expect to get this hooked, but Shadow Slave pulled me in fast. The story has this gritty, immersive world that feels alive, and Sunny as a main character is just… different in the best way. He’s smart, funny in a dark kind of way, and his growth feels real. There’s a lot of mystery, danger, and emotional depth that sneaks up on you. Honestly, one of the most addictive reads I’ve picked up in a long time. Also my second novel after tbate

well, it was my first novel so i may have been a bit biased but overall it's a good novel with only some occasional quality drops 

It doesn't have any deep philosophies or enlightening lessons. It's more of an autobiography in nature. A story about the life of the last Shadow Slave. A narrative following the adventures of a man that by all means should've been a the final villain if not for a flaw of himself. 

It's a beautiful story. Sometimes it features horrors beyond my mortal comprehension. Sometimes it's as sweet as sugar. Other times it's gritty and dark. But all in all, it as an amazing story. It's worth every second you'll spend reading it. 

A masterpiece novel with a great main character and relevant side characters that have their own development (most of them), peaks (that do not involve ranking up) unique goals and are not the subordinates/ pawns of the main character.

Sunless the main character is very well written. He's very realistic and complex. He is a relatably flawed character and is not the typical perfect nonchalant mc. His growth and journey is beautiful as he finds his "home" and his purpose in life through many different character arcs. 

My personal favourite mc's are the ones whose purpose and goals have build-up and are a result of development instead of mc's whose goals are instantly given at the beginning and never change (the latter is not bad if executed well but will still always be inferior to the former) Some examples of the former (other than Sunny) are Thorfinn from Vinland Saga and Kaladin from Stormlight Archive. They gain insight and growth throughout their journey and have many internal conflicts through which they develop and eventually find their purpose. These mc's will always feel more human and have more effort put into writing them. Their growth and journey is also shown and not told.

The world building, lore and power system are top notch with the world being vast and creative, the power system (only inferior to LotM imo) having symbolism of ascending to Godhood in each rank (instead of just rank 1, rank 2) and the lore having a whole mythology-like history with multiple eras and Gods.

It does have moments with slow pacing and repeated content. And many times the author uses unnecessary adjectives. But overall it's a wonderful novel. I definitely recommend it. READ IT NOW, THIS IS PEAK FICTION 

this novel is so good that I was reading 30-40 chapters in one go, I can't even read other novels because when I compare SS to others they are just not good enough

Shadow Slave has been number one on most novel websites for a reason — it's simply peak fiction.

I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t started it yet. The world-building is top-tier, the character development is insane, and the plot keeps you hooked from start to finish.

If you’re into action, mystery, and dark twists, start reading it right now — you won’t regret it.

69/10 would recommend!!!

Peak Fiction. Best mc for me , insane worldbuilding, plot, action, lores. The side characters are just as intresting and entertaining. I love how everyone has unique power and flaw.

peak and but the romance tag is way later. the story and the world building is great, sunny is a little crazy at times, but all in all overall peak
