Review Detail of LurkingImmortal in Shadow Slave

I binge read up to the current chapters, honestly for the people that started this novel before it passed 150 i can only say that i tip my hat off to you. Writing Quality is great, the world building is amazing as the ideas that Author has in some of these places just highlights that the whole fantasy aspect of the story. Anyway i didn't write this to say good things tbh. My Realization and Complaints: Sunny Sunny Sunny, our dare MC if I can really call him that sure the story from his point of view but a lot of story other than his first trial in the first few chapters focus on Neph the female lead. I didn't particularly care at first I'm all for watching my MC's grow into someone capable of the title, Neph was more powerful, more experienced and more knowledgeable than our MC due to the difference in their backgrounds so when the MC asked to be taught by her i found it reasonable I didn't even care about to slow growing dependence/borderline obsession that was taking place because i knew at some point they would separate and the foundation he build with her as his mentor would start to show themselves as he became independent. This is the my main reason i continued to read because I believe the pay off would be worth just based on how good the Author was writing and in a sense it was. After around 150+ the Mc was no longer as many would say useless but I was increasingly annoyed by how he viewed himself as weak regardless of the amazing things he did that only a few people in existence in the story could do, but i still overlooked this as our MC had many flaws and insecurities and he was in fact still growing and would slowly overcome them which proved true in later chapters. THAT IS UNTIL around chapter 350, this is a big turning point for a lot of readers in the story due to many reasons. But around here we finally get to see Neph's status page, and it was crushing for me because it really made me feel that my dream of seeing the MC surpass and become the strongest was nothing but a joke. At least that's how I felt, the MC was just destined to be her powerful shadow/right hand in the grand scheme of things, she had her insane goal and obsession and the MC would become powerful enough to help see it come to fruition. This to me is just the biggest disappointment in this entire story mainly due to my personal preferences though. Idk what plans to author has later on but ill still be reading with faint hope of seeing our MC become the strongest regardless of the circumstances surrounding his relationship with Neph who seems to be written in a way that it makes her seem like the actual main character among other things.
