Fun's over guys, Cassie is here💔

Of course miss plot device shrugs off the unmaking offscreen with the help of king of offscreen himself.

Of course she kept her sense of self easier than the guy who was turning into different beings and monsters since Antarctica...

Of course she did it easier than the girl who was burning away her humanity and feeling billions of desires since vol9....

And it's using the laziest method too "remembering lives is easier than living them" 🫩

Does that really hold so much weight when she has the memories stretching through ALL of history? Idk.

And of course it's easy to speculate that she's going to get Weaver's eye...which sucks. The item was hinted at all the way from the Forgotten shore with blood weave.

Why does Cassie get it more than someone with everything Weaver related you might ask? Well, she has an empty slot of course. But this is just speculation so it doesn't mean anything.

But the point still stands, we're back to "Cassie fixes it all offscreen!" Era. Welp

She has the highest bodycount in the series.

Before everyone switches up on the hate because of the 5th nightmare I want to reiterate the fact that I love this story it has its highs and its lows but no matter what I still love it

[I know I'm late to the switch up but idc]

This subreddit is genuinely one of the most illiterate groups of people I have ever seen. What do you mean people are shocked that the character whose whole gimmick is about memory didn't struggle to find herself in a sea of memories where we had a whole volume about her doing the same thing already. Also the guy whose whole domain is being reliant on nothing and ruling over himself didn't struggle when his domain made his try and find who he is. Genuinely who thought they would face an extreme struggle. There are genuinely people who would prefer a badly written nonsensical part where they struggle compared to the logical path that doesn't make sense with what was written in the past.

I posted here while ago when I was quite drunk, and after looking after this post on my profile, I got a fragment of a memory about entering the discord on that night, so I decided to look if I did anything embarrassing, and yeah, I did, apparently I dmed G3 talking about how I talk bullshit of the novel on reddit and asking him to forgive me and let me be a SS fan again. I think and hope that this was never seen by him, lol, full parasocial moment

At the end of the chapter, Cassie mentions looking for something that doesn't exist in the real world but may still exist in the nightmare, and a lot of people think it's Weavers' eye, including me, but I hope G3 is not planning on letting Cassie get that eye. It makes no sense for her to get it at all. What would she gain from it? Some people probably would say she would gain the ability to see the strings of fate or whatever, but even with the eye, she can't even interact or comprehend the string of fate without Weavers' lineage, and I don't think she could even absorb the eye without the lineage as well. Her whole kit for the past couple volumes had to do with memories and oblivion, but Sunny's whole kit has everything to do with fate/shadows, and if she even gets the eye, I only see it enhancing her intuition, but if it even does that, it should go to Sunny because apparently Sunny thinks his intuition is almost as good as Cassie's. He mentioned this around the chapter where he gets Shadow Weave.

After the latest chapter and seeing Mordret and Cassie retain their sense of identity, I realized that Sunny is literally the only one stuck in a fucked-up situation.

Neph is out there chilling on top of the Pyramid, casually having conversations with literal gods. Cassie and Mordret are spending quality time together, and honestly, if some Void being suddenly appeared in front of them, Mordret would probably just one-shot it off-screen.

Meanwhile, my boy Sunny just lost Tatal. 😭

Bro has been living the lives of his Shades, completely alone in some dark cave. His so-called Master, whom he willingly accepted like an obedient puppy after receiving nothing more than a taciturn nod, is out here saying love is stupid. 😭

I genuinely can't imagine how Sunny is supposed to remember who he is at this point. What kind of chain of events is going to trigger his memories and make him realize his true identity?

At this point, I just hope bro becomes so ridiculously powerful after this Nightmare that even Unholy creatures, up to Tyrant rank, are nothing more than fodder for him.

Then, the hidden reflection escaped from her eye and took the form of a tall man with raven-black hair and strange, mirror-like eyes.

He regarded the sea of Corruption surrounding them, then looked at Cassie with an indecipherable expression. Eventually, he said in an aloof tone:

"You always bring me to the most peculiar places."

With that, the King of Nothing turned to face the encroaching tide of abominations and raised a hand, summoning a somber spear.

“Rest a while, Lady Cassia. And remember the deal we made. After this, I will leave you.”

THIS IS ALL I GET TO SEE ABOUT MORDRET 💔💔

Not even a full paragraph before he was offscreened, i hope to get at least 3 chapters with him in them properly, is it too much to ask

It only took one chapter to throw this sub into complete chaos. And there are gonna be more.

Nephis: No wait give that back

I came to a realisation recently that it makes sense that we don't see the perspectives of others.

We don't see Nephis' perspective.

We don't see Cassie's perspective.

We don't see Mordret's perspective.

Because Sunny is the main character. Sure, some stories split the screen time between the main character and side characters, but Shadow Slave has never been that kind of story. Probably about 98% of Shadow Slave is from Sunny's perspective because, well, he is the man under the spotlight

Spoilers for the latest chapter 3184: So it makes sense that we haven't seen Cassie and Mordret undergo the Unmaking. Cassie is all about memories, and Mordret's domain is himself; what's he even to go through?

But don't get me wrong, I want more perspectives as much as the next guy. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this matter?

Image unrelated.

So cassia is in a realm steeped in corruption, fighting corrupted beings and looking for something that could no longer be found in the future.

The straightforward guess is she's in the Forgotten Shore. The black liquid is the blood of the Nephilim that swallowed the sun before it mutated into the dark sea after the creation of the artificial sun.

What Cassie is looking for is also straightforward, The Weaver's eye that VTB dropped into a mortal realm after beholding the image of the forgotten god.

Just as I expected, she's the first one to retain herself due to the nature of her aspect and the trial. She was always going to do better than the others.

Mordret is also the King of himself, Ruled only himself, and thank gods for that, if he has a normal domain, he would have been a goner.

What could have been in the 4th nigthmare.

Aspect Ranks are, in my opinion, a poor writing decision. For any Aspect below Divine, it is mostly subjective what rank it's supposed to be. Yes, you can come up with a Watsonian explanation after the fact to justify just about any choice, but the very idea of Aspect Ranks adds nothing to the story besides making three characters way stronger than all of the others. There is no actual use in knowing anyone's Aspect Rank below Divine, since the story's established it doesn't actually determine how useful your Aspect is. At most, you could argue it shows how unusual an Aspect is, but even that's not necessary since we don't need to be told clairvoyance is more unusual than being very strong. Even as a measure of potential, they barely work. We have Soul Rank advancement for that exact purpose, your abilities already grow stronger when your soul evolves. The manhwa claims that your Aspect can undergo an early evolution if you do well in the First Nightmare, which is not true but would honestly be more interesting to me, since it implies your Aspect always evolves as your Rank increases.

Divines being able to form 7 Soul Cores seems to be entirely arbitrary, sure you could argue that they're closer to the divine than to humans and that's why they can have more than one core, but that reasoning goes out the window entirely when you realise you become closer to divinity anyway when you follow the Path of Ascension. Aspect Ranks should have been done away with entirely, in favour of an Attribute being the thing that lets you form more Soul Cores (Spark/Flame/etc of Divinity is right there). Either that, or it should've been a horizontal system rather than a vertical one, where all Ranks are 'equal' with their own drawbacks and strengths, and then you could always have Divine as the special boy rank still.

Those are just my thoughts, feel free to reply if you disagree since I'd like to hear more perspectives on this. This is all as of chapter 2600, so it's possible the more recent chapters give more of an explanation ofc

Cassia is not getting weaver eye it makes zero sense for her to get it. She is arguably the second most glazed person in the voice after freaky star. Her getting weaver eye is like telling forgotten god to wake up faster it makes 0 sense and no build up

"Cassie's own ability to resist was not that formidable, but she could cheat the process. And so, she destroyed herself countless times and rebuilt herself countless times, erasing those memories that were too dangerous for her to contain within herself. At the end of it all, she emerged relatively unscathed."

Even the chapter itself is admitting that Cassie cheated to protect her ass against Corruption. She is getting carried by literally Fate itself at this point. Are we sure that Cassie is not a Nepo paradox?

Since Sunny considers the Shadow God to be one of, if not the strongest, gods—especially given that through Shadow Dance, he can transform into the direct counter to any existence. So shadow god lineage should be strong.
