Review:
Pros:
World Building: The novel boasts great world-building, immersing readers in a captivating and unique universe.
Magic System: The magic system is intriguing and unlike anything I’ve encountered before.
Character Growth: Sunny’s character development is satisfying, and secondary characters add depth to the story.
Cons:
Romance: While the novel hints at romance, it remains largely undeveloped (as of the current 1472 chapters out of the planned 3000).
Overpowered Protagonist: Sunny is sufficiently strong, but his rivals are even more formidable.
Overall Impression: “Shadow Slave” is a litRPG shōnen novel that combines fights with monsters, beautiful girls, and reliable allies. If you enjoy a mix of dark themes, creative combat, and supernatural lore, this novel is worth your time. Dive into the first 20ish chapters to gauge your interest, and remember that the first 50 chapters are free on Webnovel1.
