Author, you might want to tweak the original description of the flaw to include "forced to truthfully answer every question". That's clearly what you actually intended for it to be instead of "unable to lie", and it would make this entire thing seem a lot less forced
In previous chapter he says that every time you survive a nightmare you rank up, so what's the point of gathering soul shards. Also whats the difference between going to the "nightmare" or the dream world? Its all a bit confusing. It makes more sense if you enter dream world an get soul shards "cultivate" and when you reach the peak of that stage you enter a nightmare "tribulation" too enter the next stage.
