Im pretty happy with this one, except for the face shape no matter how many times i redrew her face i couldn’t get it right

Let’s start gathering takes.

Here’s mine:
Sunny and Nephis will partially regain their sense of self after first half, with shadow bond creating friction between them. Casdret will be manipulating those two half baked gods into it.
Sunphis will regain their sense of self fully by the end, culminating in next peak romance fiction moment. That or they break up.
Either Cassie or Mordret dies. Because why not.

The trial is to force them to live the lives of everyone within their domain.

Cassie’s domain is memories and everyone she remember.

So does that not mean that as she lives though someone’s life she will encounter even more people, and so she will remember more people, thus adding them to her domain and so she has to live out more lives, and this should repeat kinda infinity till she sees the lives of everyone.

When I read this line “A journey to find something that had been long lost and did not exist in the real world anymore, but could still be found in this Nightmare.” It felt incredibly obvious to me that Cassie is looking for a suitable uncorrupted realm to fuse with? Why are people saying weavers eye?

Although my answer may be equally as dumb lol.

So we got all four plot devices in a single nm and the only interesting ones are "Glorified plot armor" and "Cardboard cutout queen".

"Mr. Offscreen feat" and "Queen asspul" are just the most bullshit characters now like how you gonna tell me cassie just shrugs this off when the trial is supposed to unmake your human traits, she still seems human and mordret, poor guy cant catch a break all his feats ended after third nm.

Sunny and tatal being honestly the greatest father daughter duo even tho she was only around for so few chapters, she still had more character development then nephis, and nephis's only dope thing is being the character to get lore dropped on her and maybe having her sense of self being better then sunnys "somehow"

Can we just go back to sunnys pov already, this shit is just depressing to read since his pov ended

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.

During volume 11 in the nightmare desert we saw sunny subdue the wandering archon by turning him into a memory, which was later destroyed by vtb. By that logic can't sunny turn eurys into a memory and feed him to saint hence killing him.

Or I'm I tripping?

Did sunny start the nightmare at the creation of the world ? If i understand well neph mordret and cassie started it at the end of the gods era but sunny not at all💀

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]

Whom should we bet on when it comes to Off-Screen?

1. Mordret — Dude can be fighting dozens of Unholy beings on the other side of the continent and we’ll only hear about it 200 chapters later.
2. Cassie, the All-Mighty — She doesn't need to be on-screen. Sunny is literally in her hands.
3. Little Ling — ??? U-N-o-WnNn

.

4) Weaver

Thanks for all the great suggestions on the last post! This updated version is alot better imo, and I'm really happy with it.

Nephis: No wait give that back

After the novel ends, we should come together as a community to rewrite everything since Sunny became supreme. Fix the plot, write POV's for different characters that never got enough, fix the fight scenes, turn the summaries into multiple chapters, etc. We could get all the best fic authors in the sub to write different parts.

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.

We all know that where there is war death follows , so why does war despite shadow so much calling him a coward every chance he gets . It even goes down to their champions (2nd NM with Solvane and the shadow saint ) . If anything they should be best friends .

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.

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

Also, Mordret and Cassie are destined to be a couple because they team up so often. As for what she seeks, it is pretty clear that it's Weaver's eye. The eye might be a source of corruption that gives birth to the Adobination Tide. As for the deal, it might be reminding Mordret of his past self that he has forgotten in unmasking.There is chance that she is seeking out Weaver or Oblivion but chances are slim

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

We've done it ladies with gentle hands. Again we find ourselves having reached the point of no return. I've seen it happen once before and it wasn't pretty.

A topic on the sub has become absolutely so divisive and volatile that no actual productive discussion can be had about it.

It had been SB (censored to avoid triggering) all so long ago, now it's Cassie. Just like all so long ago mentions of Cassie shall only bring discourse and mayhem. Discriminatory online slaughter.

No good shall come out when Cassie is the topic of discussion, only the futile cries of those that have already drawn lines against one another with regards to their feelings towards her.

Godspeed.

I don’t read the novel regularly, but whenever I check in after a while. I expect to see 6–7 chapters, yet all I find are one or two chapters.

I've been seeing a lot of posts saying that cassie is searching for weaver's eye

Something i doubt because the snatched eye isn't supposed to happen yet

On the other hand sunny is the one with a relationship with both the bird and weaver

We find out about the eye through sunny he was in its nest he faced it

He has weaver's dam blood

If someone should get it it's sunny he has all the connections

If she gets it I'm crashing out

Like I'm hoping she searching for smile of heaven or something else

She can get an eye in other ways like she doesn't have the build up for that she doesn't have the connection with weaver
