Thanks man
ch776 after reading for too long, I can't help to tears... this is the saddest chpt.the farewell
I forgot to apologize for some grammatical errors i made in my previous comment, please don't mind them, I haven't slept for like 28 hours now. I submmited it before rereading it and after reading it again, i found quite a few.
Hmm
This is the most trash novel I've ever read in my life and the that fact people are giving this novel 5 star's make me lose faith in humanity. In the very fist chapter it's made evidently clear that author is a very special person as in his mind literature is classified as a category of science. Then in next 30 or chapters the only close thing to a love rival to mc is the heroines fist cousin ya you heard me right pretty bad huh but oh it get so much worse. Not only is he the mc only clear love rival for the fist 30 chapter's but you get to read his cringe inner monolog about why isn't my fist cousin hooking up with me. Uuuuuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggg. Sorry i was throwing up. Then the products of science seem to be everywhere without so much any explanation in a fictional world that's supposed to be without science and the magic system seems to be a combination between a cultivation novel and avatar the last air bender which only make the products of science in world supposedly without even more baffling. Want to know something even more disgusting this novel has an anime & manga. When dozens of novels billions of times better than this one don't have ether.
A slightly different time travel and transmigration story, this one is for sports lovers. I say different because MC travels of a different geography (England) with which he has little familiarity. Moreover, MC had never been an actual manager in his previous life, so he had no experience (he only watched a lot of soccer games as a "fan"). He does have "information about the future", as well as the original body owner Tony's notes (this Tony was a pretty straight-laced guy) and his own style of motivating players. This book needs concentration to read as there are a few info dumps and dense blocks of explanatory texts, but I like it because I really enjoy sports novels (on webnovel, we only had "Almighty Coach" under the genre as "officially translated" until now, so I am excited).
Shadow Slave is a story about Sunny, a orphan who lives in the slums and forced to struggle to survive. He suddenly was infected by the Spell, and forced to survive a dangerous nightmare, otherwise he will turn into a monster.
Honestly, a solid novel. This novel has vibes kinda like a mix of dark souls and diablo, leaning more towards diablo. It's fairly decent, and some parts of it are on par with some actual published novels, but it has some problems.
Writing quality is pretty good. Far better than most on this site. Very few grammatical errors if any, and word choice is relatively creative. (5/5 stars)
Story development is fairly decent as well. Personally, I don't enjoy novels where the author writes about the main character in the "future", then proceeds to write from where they previously left off to where the main character currently is. First arc is pretty good, kept you hooked and interesting, second arc got rather boring, but I think thats more of an issue with the characters. (4/5 stars)
Honestly, character design is what brings this novel down in my opinion. Specifically, the main character. It is extremely hard to root for the main character at all, theres not a single quality of his that gives hype to his character. It's not a horrible character, compared to some other novels on this website, but you really can't bring yourself to like him. Character development might as well be non-existent, because I've read to chapter 180+ and not much has changed. His character is rather inconsistent as well. It feels rather weird to me for a character so deeply rooted in deceit and lies, is he is relatively trusting, which is weird. You would think someone who lived in the slums for eighteen years would naturally be distrustful. Even to some of the people that might as well just scream "I'm evil". Aside from that, as stated previously, main character has no admirable qualities. He is cowardly, lacks any conviction, a hypocrite, incredibly childish and immature, etc. Not a whole lot has changed since the start of the novel, most of the character development seems rather superficial to me. Furthermore, his lack of caution that CONSTANTLY re-appears after he just becomes cautious is annoying. Like I stated previously, this isn't very fitting for someone who lived in the slums, and someone who literally has to venture in a world where anything and everything could kill you. (3/5 stars)
As for the world background, it's amazing. It manages to keep the grim-dark vibe for pretty much the entire story. This world is believable and realistic. (5/5 stars)
Overall, a very solid story, with the main character bringing it down a notch. I would highly recommend this novel. I give this novel 4.4 stars out of 5.
I read till chapter 40 and although I don't actively follow basketball, I know some stuff from Kuroko no Basket and I must say, the MC is overpowered.
This ff is good, undoubtedly, but I would personally like to see some setbacks, defeats and training Unique skills and stuff that will build him up to be someone really inspiring.
A 17 year old beating a veteran, although possible, it'll be like like saying Vinicius could out dribble Ronaldinho.
I don't know basketball history all that much but even I find it a bit ridiculous.
So in good faith, I'ma give you a 4 star review.
Its a great story I personally would like to read a continuation of this series so please write a part 2
When will there be more chapters???????? This story is turning into something great. WHY ISNT THERE ANY CHAPter update sinceover a month????
UPDATE MORE CHAPTERS
Highly recommend, highly recommend highly recommend
I hope many authors are inspired to make MCs like ff this.... Because most of them often make typical Japanese beta MCs that are annoying.
