Don't drop this novel, please.
The author did Kunigami dirty with the NEL arc. Hopefully we'll get to see him in the spotlight in the next arc and know more about the Wild Card Selection.
The arcs go on and on, imo but whenever a big arc gets finished, there's always something major that happens in the story that'll definitely hook you into reading the next arc. It's worth it imo.
What's up with people following the plot? I never understood that concept. This guy literally was fighting for his life a couple minutes or hours before that, and now he wants the plot to go as usual when he knows that fate will always find a way to steer to the original destination. A normal person would be like I'm gonna steal every opportunity certain character gets in a certain time. If you want the OG timeline to take place from every little detail to the big things, then just save yourself the trouble and offed yourself. I've only read one SS fanfic where even I don't know what's gonna happen because the MC isn't afraid to actually change major things just for the plot to be the same as in the original.
Your sypnosis is good. The thing is, although Shadow Slave is a popular Webnovel, it's still just only just a Webnovel. When the manwha/manga comes out, and hopefully an anime adaptation, then Shadow Slave will become really popular. You can't really compare your fanfiction with other popular stories on this site as all of them already have a big fanbase, so if you're expecting the story to be in the top 10 then I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon.
