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.

there 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

i was thinking the same thing, currently at chapter 163 Rianna's character feels like Nephis the dream that the Seers have is similar to what Cassie saw in their first nightmare the brute avatars being similar to Sunny's first echoes the concept of fate, MC's dislike for heroes might even see something similar to the forbidden god later on as the main system lore unfolds overall just feels like a watered down, low stakes, big brain mc version of shadow slave

Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

The world was cruel..... Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine. Aether was one of them.... Born with a golden spoon... yet, he was cast aside like a defective product. He longed for love, for warmth—but all he received was pain. Yet, he smiled, not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. With nothing but a broken heart and a hollow laugh, he stepped into the hell called society. "Can't you do a single thing right?!" "…Heh" "You're fired!!!" "…W-Wh…He" "I'm sorry, sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to apply." "…I-I am…Heh" "We can’t approve a loan without collateral." "…W-Why?" "Your father’s a politician, right? So, you know…" "…" The so-called society didn't welcome him very well... Yet, He pressed forward! After years of struggle, he finally secured a job—only to be reminded of his place. "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me. So don’t ever contact me or MY parents again," his brother sneered. "...Heh..." And just when he thought he had finally earned a sliver of recognition— "HONK!! HONK!!" Fate was merciless. A split second, a cruel twist, and his already miserable life came to an abrupt end. Yet, as the darkness closed in, he screamed into the void— “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” A will that even the universe listened. !~Ding~! Reborn into a new world, Aether thought he had finally been given the chance to truly live. But instead of peace, he found himself in yet another struggle—not just to survive, but against something even more dangerous… Seduction!! Not just any seduction… but a mission to seduce and save the most unattainable women in existence! Seducing the Princess of an Empire! Seducing the Hero’s Mother! Seducing the Villain’s Wife?! ..... ... .. And the list only kept growing… He, a Mere slave, seduces them all.... WHAT KIND OF F## UP LIFE WAS THIS?!! But it wasn’t OVER—far from it.... These women… were even worse!! One wrong move, one careless mistake… and his life could be erased from existence! One thing became painfully clear—if he ever wanted to survive in this hellish world, there was only one path forward. He had to seduce them all. _________________ Release Schedule:- 2 Chapters Every Day! But wait—there’s more! Want extra chapters? Your support makes it happen!
