writing quality is without question good, Eylon is known for it. overall everything is good, but I have some issues with it. currently at chapter 73 and the number of things that feel "inspired" by shadow slave...is a lot. dream gate/dimension gate; echos/avatars; first nightmare/first wandering (they even occur on the same day-winter solstice, longest night of the year); beast cores/soul cores (specifically the manor in which they are used to rank up); initial location for first wandering - hellhole that no one/almost no one survives, with everyone trying to find a way out/complete a quest to leave. pulling ideas from other writing is not bad and relatively normal, it's just the amount and seemingly sole source in such a small amount of chapters makes it feel very blatant.

LIKEthere are many stories who use the same settings solo leveling for dimensional gates and super gene for your so-called echoes the winter solstice is known as a pagan tradition which is celebrated for its many rituals. just because you haven't read enough stories doesn't make shadow slave unique. you can ask guilty three where he got inspiration from and he will say super gene. I've written this story in this manner because it's a project i planned to write after strongest system. it just so happen that iI decided to go with the necromancer route. if while reading this story it makes you feel like reading shadow slave it just means that the concept is a very common thing
