rate the shadow slave arcs

[Forgotten Shore] “on this forgotten shore only steel remembers” counting both volumes idc

9.3/10 peak fiction. the ending was just WOW reading this unspoiled was truly something special. the world building for the shore was also just amazing and so many mysteries

[Chained Isles+Second Nm] “because we are their flaw”

8.5/10, it was really good, the build up, where sunny comes out and has to deal with the after effects of the forgotten shore, deal with cassie and then we learn about the world even more it was a perfect launching pad, then the 2nd nm with noctis and the epic battle scene as well as mordet

this was amazing

[Antartica] “Conviction, you lack conviction “

8.7/10 idc, antarctica was legit PEAKKKKK fiction

Nephs awakening, the cute little moments and the fight they had, sunny’s tantrum leading him towards insane character development, facing off against every single major threat in that region and then the ending was depressing asf.

and not forget the best character even SINNY the cursed sword

[Pre 3rd nm war and 3rd nm] “be careful what you wish for….”

9.5/10

now this arc was just PEAK shadow slave.

we had the set up, where sunny is dealing with the after affects of Flacon scott, and is getting even more powerful, the legacy clans going to war and the little espionage arc sunny had

sunny’s strength reveal at the battle of the black skull, the killing of a saint from 2 masters and the crisis we see where great titans descend as well as the skin walker

the nightmare desert run to survive mini arc and the battles

high paced high octane crazy, no way out

then the challenging of the 3rd nm…… with mordet nonetheless.

then we get this CRAZY world build and build up of the tomb of ariel with INSANE foreshadowing from the get go, sin of solace making himself known

the battles we had here were insane, it was a little slow at times such as Altheias island but wow when we find out it has been a loop.

absolute cinema

then not only that we see sunny finally confront cassie, and she tells him he can escape fate?! then bro goes on a quest to an even crazier place to only learn about the secrets of the world left behind by ariel himself.

then the loop gets even more confusing as we see the chain breaker and a future version of sunny.

then that vile bird, sunny escapes the nm we see his new op ah abilities and we’re all hype….. only for g3 to BOMB US “state your name” “it’s sunny…..”

shit left me empty

absolute cinema of an arc. PEAK

[Lord of Shadows] “happy birthday “

8/10 solid arc, tbh just a set up and slow down of the story to set up the future, highlighted the mid to early end point of the story, sunny vs neph and sunphis moments nothing too crazy tbh.

[War Arc] Loading we gon see how the ending is and it’s prolly gonna be crazy high expectations for this arc ngl.
