The Shadow of Great Britain
“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.”
Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?”
The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?”
Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!”
“Oh!!!!”
The audience erupted into thunderous applause.
“Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.
The applause grew even more fervent...

Ok so this is shadow slave. I mean, it’s literally shadow slave. Different names, same people, same story. Raven light is clearly a cheap ripoff of the fire girl, Annette is the hulk girl, Northman is clearly a crueler shadow boy and the story is a basically an exact replica of when it comes to arcs just in a different order. The laws of this world are so odd. When it came to shadow slave it kinda made sense, but now the portals are the exact same in function but slightly different with slightly different needs and functions. At first I thought the sentient world was trying to conquer the universe using portals but no. They’re just random portals. Even the means of collecting weapons and armor are the EXACT same. I’m at chapter 300ish and I’m just surprised this dude hasn’t bothered learning how to make items like the shadow boy.
