NewCultivator Overhyped novel.
Good things
1. Good Cover
2. Nice Powersystem.(lately it's confusing)
3. Interacting translator.
4. Different and weird world.
And some things I don't remember.

Bad things.
1. Nothing special other than powers stem.
2. Crap story.
3. Bad writing.
4. It's getting confusing.
5. Bad detailing.
6. Stupid and unimportant characters.
7. MC character is nothing special.
And many more.

I read it for the powersystem and shadow hack. But it's getting dull nowadays.

    N0xiety It's beginning is not that great. But now the writing is so amazing.. and it's consistency is superb as well. Seriously one of the best story if not for the cliche game reincarnation aspect.

        NewCultivator It's been in first place since it won the vote, even during the voting phase before we knew the quality of the work it got a record number in only a week.

            KingBiBiK Well anyways, if we take out the cliche game kind of reincarnation, might as well read an actual novel like Dark Tower from Stephen King or something at that point. Lets just say Night Ranger is as good a chinese xianxia kind of novel can get.

                N0xiety True. But the cliche beginning can be improved with some reasoning though.. Just saying due to my OCD

                    The beginning and the premise got me hooked on the story tbh, if you ever played League of Legends then you would know who the mc ( or shadow hack) got a bit of it's idea. I liked the fact that the mc can create his own shadows and make them fight for him which is why I kept reading this but later on story feels a bit stale, like predictable; mc hasn't lost yet technically, confusion and he keeps hiding his true skills in moments that would be otherwise advantageous in both present and future.

                    As of chapter 141 -
                    Story can be hard to follow for casuals
                    WTH just happend moments in plot
                    still OP currently :D
                    Chapters are bit less due to after effects on shadow hack craze

                    Still I think it's worth a try to read the book, the intro got me hooked, perhaps you will find that moment :) Or if you got bored you can always drop it, after all there is still SOS or LOHP :D

                      I would answer a lot of replys here, but since this is not the thread I created 4 days ago, "Shadow Hack: enlightenment thread", I will not do it (which further buries in my head the idea that some people are only giving hate in the novel ). I'll just write something about the novel and not something generic that can be used to describe most of the novel.

                      Whether this Novel is worth your time or not depends on you, obviously.
                      Shadow Hack has a unique system (the shadows) and the already used in other novels: game system. But unlike other novels, the system here is always present, whether in a fight or dialogue with other characters. Yes, even though he only communicates with the protagonist, the system is always present in the conversations and fights since he has his own intelligence and is even able to make choices on his own.

                      The protagonist is exactly what the synopsis promises; a normal guy with no talent using a cheat. Everything he does -or try- is thinking of getting stronger and just that.

                      The characters around the protagonist are very shallow, so far I've only taken note of four of them. And when I say shallow, is about they be the same thing that we see in other novels.

                      The world building is complicated and confusing, especially in the beginning, but after chapter 74 everything becomes easier to understand (with me it was so).
                      And I can not help but mention that if you're the type who likes the minuscule details of the environment where the scene is played, do not even start Shadow Hack because those little details are summarily crushed.
                      And we come to the part that most annoy people, the development of history; In most novels development goes on like this:
                      • Weak protagonist
                      • [Some reason] starts to get stronger
                      • Disagreement with the son of some Lord or even the Lord
                      • Protagonist is humiliated or ends up killing someone he should not, so he is expelled/hunted
                      • Protagonist gets more stronger
                      • Protagonist returns and annihilates those who humiliated/hunted him
                      • Repeat

                      But in Shadow Hack this line only goes to the second point. The rest is totally different and unpredictable. It is one of the main reasons I still read this novel despite the author's terrible ability to put into words what he imagined.

                      ShouldBeStudying Hello, Seer. Hue

                      N0xiety You still mad about LOHP? That explanation is not enough for you? Is there still something that bothers you? I can explain to you. :))

                            I like the story, I can see why some might hate it when they expect nonstop face slapping moments or a rapist MC will who pin down every beauty they find. Li Yunmu, this MC, is only interested in growing his own abilities and taking care of his family. He isn't brilliant, he isn't talented, but he is focused and his cheat has the ability to keep him alive even when he isn't sharp enough to see dangers coming his way.

                            decent, not so bad, yet not so good.

                              NewCultivator because many people still read it. i seriously love the story building for this novel. but the storytelling is weak and sometime i feel annoyed reading it. at first i'm quite enjoyed reading it, but after sometime i felt like i'm 'forcing' myself reading it in the hope that the story will become enjoyable to me again. anyway, it is up to your taste.
