i stumbled onto Shadow Slave expecting a run of the mill fantasy but Sunny’s journey really grabbed me. His shadow powers feel fresh and I was genuinely rooting for him every step of the way especially during those brutal Nightmare battles. The world is dark and gritty, but it never feels like filler most chapters ramp up the tension just when you think you can breathe

On the flip side, some side characters kinda blend together, and every now and then the pacing dips you’ll notice a few longer training or recovery chunks But honestly, once the action picks back up it’s hard to put down.

Overall, I’d give it 5 out of 5 stars. If you like your fantasy with a bit of edge, creative magic mechanics, and don’t mind sticking through occasional slow spots Shadow Slave is worth the ride

Push through those early chapters and keep reading. Many fans say it becomes great later on, and I agree it pays off. Trust me, it’s worth it.
