Daniel_Branicki10mthCommentedCan't mess with the theming.
The Graceless Dusk looked like a simple tunic of fine, soft silk. He had expected it to be white, but to his surprise, the tunic turned out to be of a rich and beautiful black color, with intricate patterns embroidered along its collar, hem, and sleeve edges with silver thread. The hem reached just below his knees, while the sleeves ended at his elbows.- Daniel_Branicki10mthCommented"I guess it was just fate… that fiend was fated to die by my hand, and so, fate helped me kill it."

Er, which one of the attributes wouldn't enhance him in battle exactly? Calling that in the next battle there already will be a description how faster thinking, regen, the telepathic thing or any other will be mentioned how useful it is.
If there was one thing about the Graceless Dusk that made Sunny feel a bit regretful, it was that it did not seem to be oriented toward battle, and instead gifted the wearer with great utility outside of it. That was not too strange, since there were a lot of armor-type Memories like that. Still… a Transcendent one, even if it was made of fabric instead of steel, would not be too shabby. - Daniel_Branicki10mthCommented
Since when Sunny concerned himself with honesty, a kill is a kill.
A Transcendent Memory of the Sixth Tier was the strongest he had ever received after slaying an enemy… of course, it was, since Sybil of the Fallen Grace was the strongest enemy he had ever slain. There was the Spawn of the Vile Thieving Bird, as well, but Sunny did not really consider that victory a true, honestly earned kill. - Daniel_Branicki10mthCommented
Sunny and G3, behind the stage:
And yet… the Terror of LO49 had dealt with the fearsome Transcendent, only to end up being dealt with by Sunny. So… - Daniel_Branicki10mthReplied to lordseven
He definitely outclassed the saint in the art of killing deep sea baddies. And that is supposed to be the saint's main expertise.

Yeah, and read like a power fantasy. Sunny underwater saves a saint and another master which specialize in these kinds of fights, despite him fighting underwater for the first time in his life.

Didn't he casually wear it for mongrel cosplay?
Weaver's Mask… Sunny had not called upon it in a long time. It frightened him, as well, almost as much as the Terror. - Daniel_Branicki10mthCommented
This whole chapter:
In fact, it was even a little liberating. Being able to freely move in three dimensions instead of just two opened up all kinds of neat tricks he could pull… the only limit was his intellect, cunning, and imagination. - Daniel_Branicki11mthCommented
Waiting for the introduction of "True Brightness", "True Contrast", and "True Saturation". Legends say when an Awakened masters all these elements, he'll be able to conjure unimaginable... displays of power.
True darkness was exceedingly rare and mysterious. He had only encountered it once before, in the ruined cathedral of the Dark City, where it had been born of and controlled by the cathedral's guardian… the Forsaken Knight. The bastard that had gutted him like a pig. - Daniel_Branicki11mthCommented
Er...
True darkness, however, was more than that. It was an elemental force of its own, one that was both independent from and opposed to light. Instead of a simple lack of light, pure darkness was its rival. - Daniel_Branicki11mthCommented
I mean...
Shadows existed in places where light was obscured or could not reach. If the shadow was vast and deep enough, people mistook it for darkness, but all it truly was was the absence of light. - Daniel_Branicki1yrCommented
Wasn't he responsible for protecting LO with the other Ascended? Pretty sure there were many deaths there of people he took responsibility for.
Sunny had killed many people in the past, but he had never been responsible for someone's death… or rather, had never experienced the death of someone whom he was responsible for. - Daniel_Branicki1yrCommented
Wasn't second nightmare all about Sunny doing that? He has really selective memory at times.
'Strange. So strange. I would never entrust my life to anyone…' - Daniel_Branicki1yrCommented
Now that's just a straight up lie.
'Whatever. I was killing Fallen Devils left and right as a Sleeper…' - Daniel_Branicki2yrPosted
The novel was quite enjoyable especially early on. Unfortunately after over 500 chapters I lost all interest due to increasing amount of events and character behaviour that seemed stupid to me and just constantly taking me out of the story - I still hung around for a long time because I was invested, but I can only turn a blind eye to so many instances of this. The further the novel goes, the characters seem less and less like real people, main character becomes less and less relatable as his power grows, behaving like a little kid more often than not, all while other, supposedly mature and important figures, support him in that behaviour. I remember multiple instances in which narrator suggested how the main character becomes more aloof and less emotional to make him seem cooler, only to have him baby rage some time later, and then again narrator is trying to suggest one thing or the other about a character that's clearly not supported by the character's actions. There's been quite enjoyable bits spread over and there are reasons why I read this many chapters, though the final impression as well as this review is rather negative due to my opinion being deteriorated over time. I'm sure a lot of the problems would not be there if more time and care was put into quality, but also I understand that the format encourages breakneck update speed and it's hard to balance one with the other.
