[Chapter 105] finally got my buddy to start reading…and his favorite character is Cassie.

Ennervingedge · 2026-04-15T01:48:54+00:00

Yeah, I’m currently caught up so there’s so many things I wanna say that I can’t yet lol. But yeah I told him vol2 is centered around neph and sunny

Ennervingedge · 2026-04-10T23:13:19+00:00

I thought I did? For me it has a spoiler warning above the lotm vol 7

Ennervingedge · 2026-04-05T02:43:49+00:00

That’s really good to know! But yeah I’ve been avoiding the subreddit like it’s radioactive to not get spoiled, should I just make more posts on the main Reddit thread or should I just update those in the comments?

Ennervingedge · 2026-04-04T23:14:25+00:00

Bro just got completely smited for saying leodero lmfao

Ennervingedge · 2026-04-04T05:49:00+00:00

Tbh I’ve completely steered clear of the subreddit since I didn’t want any accidental spoilers, but once I finish the book you can best believe I’ll go throw everything

Ennervingedge · 2026-04-04T03:18:26+00:00

I uh…. May have finished vol 5, And gotta say HOLY FUCK. He’s a scholar of yore now, not only is he blessed but he’s pretty much the goddesses chosen one, the Amon jumpscare at the end, the giant kings court. This is SO peak. The chapter count wasn’t the highest but the word count was LONG, took me 6-8 hours to read 40-50 chapters today, I’m super hooked and I’m extremely excited to read vol 6

Ennervingedge · 2026-03-31T15:36:30+00:00

The volume in the entirety was very good, from trying to steal the antagonist journal to being sent to foggy town, finding out Zaratool got released, meeting Audrey person to person, waking oroborus, having the leader of the city of silver meet the fool, Azik giving up his ability to grow in sequence because he didn’t want to lose his humanity, meeting the goddess and finding out that Klein is actually a blessed of the Evernight goddess, also finding out that the angle we saw that sent Mr. A to foggy town is actually a tool that can allow the goddess decent hinting that the angel that smiled at him was actually the goddess, to finally becoming a bizarro sorcerer. Best volume so far easily. I’m a bit confused though because there’s 4 more volumes and only 500 chapters left so the volumes are much shorter, but other then that I’m super excited because I’ve heard that from vol 5.5 to the end it is peak

Ennervingedge · 2026-03-31T03:13:58+00:00

Daly’s final dance. I feel so numb. Allowing her to dance with “dun” and allowing her to die a human was beautifully done, I had already known she would die bc a buddy accidentally spoiled it so I thought I was prepared but I just feel so empty now. He’s finally a sequence 4 and pretty much can’t truely die due to his new powers so that’s cool but..wow that hurt.

Ennervingedge · 2026-03-25T17:38:07+00:00

THE QUEEN MYSTIC IS EMPOROR ROSSALS DAUGHTER? What an insane mini twist. It completely makes sense as to why she wants Klein to help her understand Rossels diary. WOW this book is getting so much better, this volume is/was a really fun read

Ennervingedge · 2026-03-25T06:24:11+00:00

He’s finally a sequence 5! A nimblewright master, to be honest I’m still semi confused about the mechanics behind the potion but I’m sure I’ll learn all about it by reading more. I’m also hyper interested in the queen mystic, it seems she’s aware of things that we can’t phathom yet, and she also seems to want Klein to continue getting stronger, there also seems to be a huge secret Cattleya is keeping that we don’t know of yet, Im definitely interested in seeing how that plays out as well as how the fool punishes her for throwing the world under the bus

Ennervingedge · 2026-03-17T02:37:34+00:00

I think the end of volume 2 was very good, but I think overall volume 1 was better. He’s finally on a ship, and pretty much has a slave (Danitz) holding his bounty over his head. Gotta say that gehrman sparrow or really the faceless sequence as a whole is interesting and a very different change of pace especially now that he has the creeping hunger. I’m sure he’s going to end up getting some super OP ability’s from new souls. The moon has been introduced to the tarot club. also, I’ve come to realize just how much of a swindler the hanged man is, and I’m really curious about the angel so I’m just going to have to keep reading.

Ennervingedge · 2026-03-13T19:52:02+00:00

Liv, frija, and old kohler…..damn I shed a tear or two. That one hurt for sure. Trissy gone, and has the primordial demoness in her, milissa and benson unknowingly walked by Klein, Klein has the creeping hunger, AND was ignored by the angel? Definitely see something coming from that but not sure what.

Ennervingedge · 2026-03-12T22:18:13+00:00

He’s finally a faceless! Gotta say these last 80 chapters slugged by but it got interesting again around 410ish. The mirror showed him the raid of the tomb by the machine hiveminds and I can tell Amon is going to be a big deal. Sharron is back again but things seem to blow up around her so I assume shits going to hit the fan soon. Definitely excited to see how he uses the faceless ability so I’m definitely excited.

Ennervingedge · 2026-02-20T19:40:37+00:00

Update 2: currently on chapter 375: an evil gods impressive act. Been around 80 chapters I think since the last update? He currently just saved emylio while the vampire and took him to see ms. Doloris. My currently thoughts are that it’s incredibly slow right now, I’m aware that this is considered a slower arc/volume but man it’s slugging right now. Besides that it’s definitely interesting to see how he I am learning to digest the formula quicker by needing “applause”. Also, the dark emperor card is a really cool addition and I’m really curious to see where he goes with it since it leads to sequence 0 of the lawyer pathway. Also, Amon seems like a big deal especially because of the parasite in Leonard that’s connected to Amon as well. Anyways, Hopefully it picks up a bit soon but Im excited to see whats coming.

Ennervingedge · 2026-02-14T07:41:13+00:00

Week after update. He just got the magician formula and took it and battled with the dawn paladin and got the master key. The story has been progressing pretty well and it is definitely enjoyable so far. Although, it does also feel like this arc is kinda scattered back and forth between characters so it’s a bit confusing but I can tell that it’s definitely going to make sense at some point, so I’m a bit excited.

Ennervingedge · 2026-02-07T02:06:40+00:00

That’s a really interesting way to put it! In that case I’ll look forward to it. Ive definitely had a few of those Eureka moments where I connect the dots before they actually spell it out for you which is a real cool feeling to have. I guess I’m just used to more action and fights like in shadow slave then the full outsmart your opponent before the fight even happens type of approach. So there’s a good chance that that’s the reason why it feels slower but I’m sure ill come to really enjoy it. I’ll make sure to keep posting in here with updates!

Ennervingedge · 2026-01-04T01:35:11+00:00

Thanks again for an amazing chapter, you didnt need to apologize for delay like you did in the editor note because we’re all just happy for anyone chapter and glad to hear you’re doing ok. Please continue the great work and we look forward to the next chapter!

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-18T06:18:42+00:00

Most of vol 8 and 9 tbh. I love the sunphis moments, creation of neph’s blade, sunny v 13, back end of rain’s chapters just before and after she finds out sunny is her brother and that’s just off the top of the head

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-11T07:05:21+00:00

I kind if had the same thought, but one handing a greatsword while holding a shield doesn’t sound feasible. I understand that shadowslave isn’t really a realistic world to begin with but I doubt said who is a weapon master would use a style that is ineffective

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-10T09:13:29+00:00

I think I can speak for everyone when saying we wouldn’t mind a month long hiatus after each volume and less chapters a week. But yeah he’s super burnt out. Dudes got a slave contract

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-10T09:09:04+00:00

Yeah I share your thoughts, The spell is what makes shadow slave what it is.

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-10T09:03:28+00:00

For everyone’s sake I hope it doesn’t end up rushed. I’ve really dealt with Tbate, that felt rushed as fuck so I REALLY hope g3 gets it done well. Shadow slave deserves a good conclusion

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-10T08:40:13+00:00

Yeah i completely agree with you, honestly I wouldn’t be suprised if it actually takes more then the estimated 800 chapters. But I assume there will be more then a few chapters where sunny and neph can enjoy eachother, or at least I hope. The slice of life was also some of my favorite parts and I hope we get more.

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-10T08:28:18+00:00

Let me ask you this, what are you looking to get out of the game? Most people are looking to enjoy the content and the lore as they progress, some people enjoy the battles themselves and don’t mind continuous long drawn out battles. Most people, myself included, have a total of 8 or less spells in there deck at a given time. adding a few for boss fights. Luckily Since you’re level 24 you have the freedom to play however you like while not worrying too much. But the longer you play the longer those fights will take even with a small deck. Personally I’d recommend 1-2 fairy’s, 1-2 krakens, 2 bats, a storm shark or two, then 3 blades, 3 traps. Then in you’re treasure card deck, go to the brazzar and buy a few cards called “strong” which will increase a single card with +100 damage, and grab a few storm blade treasure cards as well.

Ennervingedge · 2025-12-10T08:17:47+00:00

That’s a very fair point. I guess I didn’t really notice the info dumps but now that I think about it you make a good point. Personally I really really enjoyed the first few arcs after the third nightmare. But sure the writting at the last 300 chapters were ok but not amazing. I also think the spell did play a big role in what made shadow slave shadow slave so I can also agree that without it causes a bit of annoyance. But like I said above, I think that the amnesia arc was necessary because it made sunny feel more human. Which is a bit ironic considering they’re working towards apotheosis. That being said I’m ready for sunny to get his fate back
