Review Detail of Guiltythree in Shadow Slave
Review detail
Shameless author here :) Writing a review for your own book is not easy, so I'll just say a few things. Also, if you have any questions about the novel, you can leave them in the comments! - "First of all, what is this book about?" It's about a guy named Sunny who lives in a dystopian future where some people are forced to periodically visit a magical world and battle terrible monsters. If they survive, they receive special powers. - "What type of guy is Sunny?" He is a cynical, disillusioned young man with a bleak outlook on life. But! He has a sense of humor and a strong desire to not only survive but also thrive in this world. You'll like him, I promise. - "Will he be overpowered?" Not really. He will certainly become powerful, but not powerful enough to steamroll over his enemies. Every victory Sunny achieves will be won with cunning, hard work, and skill. So, more of a Dark Souls type of situation. - "Will there be romance?" Yes, but a slow one. - "Romance, you say! So... a harem? There is a harem, right?" Not really. Sunny will be surrounded by a lot of beautiful people, both male a female, but he will probably only have one romantic relationship. Uh... one at a time, at least. We'll see! - "How often are you updating?" Currently, I'm dedicated to writing one chapter every day. The amount may increase in the future, but it depends on a lot of factors. - And, finally... "Aren't you too full of yourself? You rated your book five stars!" What can I say, it's a great book. One of the best books I've ever written! I've only written one other book, but still. It's definitely one of the top two best books I've written in my life. If you don't believe me, check for yourself ;)

you should probably throw in there somewhere that this is a doormat story, since a lot of people, myself included, hate doormat stories with a passion. nothing against you if you're just trying to collect all the 1 star reviews though, I'll admit you got me pretty good there. if you aren't purposefully trying to get a bunch of bad reviews then my apologies, it's hard to know what someone's personality is gonna be like when they write a doormat story. got to chapter 20 when I realized there was never gonna be any hope of improvement, stuck through the first arc of the mc being powerless surviving that first nightmare, but then when I got past that part and realized he was even more powerless than before with zero apparent potential for growth and constant immediate threat of death or enslavement with near zero change even after going through all that stuff when most others apparently become significantly better looking, I realized this was firmly within the doormat category. if I were to write a story like this, even if I was incredibly shameless and only took into consideration the people who enjoyed doormat stories, I'd still only rate the story at 3 stars, and that's assuming I actually enjoyed doormat stories myself. but I can understand that you might lose your frame of reference for something after working on it for so long, so I guess it's fine, just maybe try to throw "doormat" in there somewhere, even if it's just mentioning offhand that someone called it a doormat story, even if you deny it by saying it gets better later on(which I highly doubt).
I kept Free Fall in my library since I finished it and every once in a while I checked on you and I am glad you are releasing a new one. Before I start this I just thought maybe you can release Pyramid of Gold on RR. I remember you saying it didn't gain much popularity here, maybe it would be better there as there is a lot of people there that don't come here and it would open another avenue for people to know you. Knowing your other novel, I am sure this is gonna be even better but I think the slave naming might put off some readers so, maybe you can shed some light on that as well as maybe your view on the antihero tag in the description.
Thank you very much for remembering! :) I'll think about publishing Free Fall on other platforms. In my perspective, it is a good book, but perhaps not very suited for this platform. Of course, I'll only be able to post non-locked chapters, since it's contracted by Webnovel. But that includes 80% of the novel, so there's a sufficient reason to. As to what I mean by the "antihero" tag and how evil the main character will become - he won't. In my understanding, an antihero is still a hero, just less straightforward and noble. At his core, Sunny is a good guy, it's just that bad experiences and past trauma had made him cynical and selfish. So I don't plan to make him do anything really immoral.

I just remembered that I thought a different pov would add a lot to your story so are you gonna use any here or are you sticking with the mc ? Also, when you are able to, hopefully, you can recheck chapters for typos so that no one can hold that against you.Would be great if you can do that before they are posted. Anyway, have fun and try to keep up the good work.

As of now, I don't plan on adding different POVs to the story. It might change in the future, but personally, I like to focus on the protagonist. As for typos - I do check and edit chapters before posting them, but with my knowledge of English, the current level is the best I can do. I suspect that it will only change if I decide to get an editor in the future. Also, if there are more typos than usual in these past few chapters, it may be because I've been a bit ill lately and had to write fighting through a fever. But if the amount of typos is consistent across all chapters, it means that I'm just that messy :)

Nah, it is just a word or two and you can still understand what you want to say. It is just that I have seen people focusing on every little thing and saying it is breaking my immersion. Other than that, your chapters are way better than most so good job. By the way, do you have a discord or is still a work in progress? Don't push yourself too much and keep well !!!

The literal slavery is only present in the first ark of the story, which takes place in the "Nightmare". It spans fourteen chapters.
Cursed_sin:Can u tell me what u mean by slave I don’t like reading novels with slavery in them Does he stay a slave How long? I’d appreciate a reply Bye👋🏼
Demelios:I saw that you said. One romance at a time. And I wanted to suggest you a book in which the personals relationships are beautifully made. It's called Chaos' heir. In this book the author is perfectly manipulating the romanticals relationship of the Mc. Shall it be for the making or braking of them.
Norvaldo_Roberts:i think that this novel has one of the most orginal plot and i love it and the characters and your naming sense is quite good as a almost good manga anime has a catchy easy mc name
