I keep thinking about this story on a deeper level and what it's really saying. At its core, this is about cycles of abuse and whether they can ever be broken. Xie Fangzhu suffered abuse as a child from the Shen family — they treated him inhumanely, beat him, degraded him. And now he's inflicting that same dehumanization on Shen Yingying. The text literally says he "inflicted upon her every form of torment that he had once suffered." He's become exactly what was done to him. But then the new Shen Yingying arrives and everything shifts. She's an outsider, someone from a completely different time and moral framework. She doesn't operate on the same logic of dominance and submission. When she apologizes and shows vulnerability, it's like a foreign object entering a closed system — it disrupts the entire pattern. The symbolism of the legs is also striking. The original owner wanted freedom, wanted to run away, and Xie Fangzhu took that freedom literally by breaking her legs. Now Shen Yingying is terrified of the same fate. There's this constant tension between physical freedom and emotional captivity. And then there's the tree — she's pinned against it, trapped, unable to move. But trees also grow and survive. Maybe that's the metaphor. Maybe she can root herself in this hostile ground and still grow. What I find most interesting is that the story seems to be asking: can someone who has only known cruelty learn to receive it? Can the victim become the abuser, or can something else happen? The novel hasn't answered this yet but it's definitely setting up the question.
Finally some fl I can relate to, I hope it will be completed soon! Looking forward to the future chaps! Keep up the good work!
Author here. If you're wondering whether Sol is the right webnovel for you, here’s a quick breakdown while answering some common questions. 1. Does it have a harem? No. Sol focuses on character-driven storytelling, worldbuilding, and intense conflicts. Romance may exist, but it won’t overshadow Raen’s journey or become a harem-style story. 2. What kind of MC is Raen? Raen Solmere is a smart, determined protagonist shaped by tragedy. After his village is destroyed and he’s forced into a deadly Sol ritual, he must survive the Divine Trials of Sol—where participants fight, outwit, and betray each other to ascend in power. Unlike reckless protagonists, Raen relies on intelligence, strategy, and adaptability, making him a survivor first and a fighter second. 3. What’s the story about? Sol follows Raen’s struggle to survive and uncover the truth behind the Divine Trials, the gods manipulating them, and the hidden history of Sol itself. Betrayals, shifting alliances, and brutal battles define his path as he learns that power isn’t just about strength—it’s about understanding the system, the world, and the people in it. 4. How deep is the worldbuilding? Veyra is a vast, multi-layered world divided into five interconnected Veins. Each Vein has distinct cultures, environments, and power structures, all influenced by Sol—a mysterious force that can be harnessed through rituals, technology, or belief. Gods, factions, and hidden truths shape the world, making it more than just a backdrop but an active force in the story. 5. How does the power system work? The power system revolves around Sol manipulation and the Conduit Ascension system—a structured path toward godhood. Individuals can shape Sol through Transmutations, making combat highly creative. The Divine Trials force participants to battle in randomized arenas, where success depends on strategy, resourcefulness, and alliances rather than raw power alone. If you like smart protagonists, intricate worldbuilding, and high-stakes survival, Sol is for you.

Hey guys, I am the author of... Harem, Dragons, and Deities, or HDXD lol. Originally, I used to write fanfic, but now I want to take my shot at my own original work, while adding my own layer of creativity to clichés.Well, I love good romance, just as I love good action and fantasy. If you like kingdom building mixed with a supernatural fantasy world with supernatural elements, this is for you. But that aside, please leave a review to support the book and drop your power stones. Feedback for reviews would be nice.
