As much as i hate on people who want death in shadow slave constantly i have a lot of mixed feelings on her bringing back everyone from the FS. Im sure there will be limitations but seriously i don't understand the point of it all. Currently all it does is undermine the sacrifice that was made. I guess you could argue that it's Cassie doing what is to see if she can alter humanity/ bring back mundanes to life.

Like it's of course obvious she can't really be an eternal revive button for trancendents and ascendeds but like... what makes the feel good moments good and the hopefulness of shadow slaves second half is the absolutely ridiculous amount of damage and suffering in the first half. Maybe theres a proper limit but who knows at this point. Man G3 is way too good at cliffhangers i wish i could just know his plan because i have simply no idea what on earth his plan is. Are these sleepers going to get to retroactively awakened? Or are they going to develop freedom from cassies summoning aspect? And finally are they even the same people?? Her aspect legacy has given her the memories of everything but like we still dont know what this actually means

Im gonna be so dead serious i have so many thoughts, a lot of them good and a lot of them mixed but the name for this volume is definitely one im not too much of a fan of. Like i guess there was like a motif of theseus and the minotaur but man i don't like using something that didn't spawn from the SS verse as a title. Like ariadne seriously? What a bizarre name for such a brilliant volume. "All the devils are here" is better and it sounds doodoo ass

We have the 5th nm, underworld, the moon then forgotten god/ the void. Like there's literally no way he can do all that in 500 chapters unless he's got some absolutely insane mind bending plot twist that upends the current direction of things.

A comparison for the rest of the story, Antarctica and the tomb of ariel was 600 chapters!! That's basically no time at all!!

Like now that we've gotten a good taste of what supremacy means for the main cast and other supremes why has nephis been so shafted bro. Like I feel like nothing she gets is interesting in comparison especially after seeing the shit that cassie got. Like the ability to heal others from a distance is cool but just boring. Actually now im writing this I think it's just Cassie being fucking insane bro. Like what do you mean she can manifest anything to existence and neph gets pitter patter flames. Hell all of the divine trio are NOTHING in comparision to the absolute bullshit cassie is on. But atleast Sunny and Mordret's gained abilities were cool and interesting and built upon the previous aspect in dynamic ways but fuckk nephis sucks bro

Icl i just thought the last chapter was cool. Like actually 2969-71 was sick asf. And now that the bird actually is stealing shit I've kinda got an understanding of its MO. Ik it's not as mind bending as some of the fan theories but damm yeah this was like thd most enjoyable part of the vtb fight I've read so far.
