Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life. However, even he did not anticipate being chosen by the Nightmare Spell and becoming one of the Awakened — an elite group of people gifted with supernatural powers.

Transported into a ruined magical world, he found himself facing against terrible monsters — and other Awakened — in a deadly battle of survival.

What’s worse, the shadow powers he received happened to possess a small, but potentially fatal side effect… Collapse

    This novel is also surprising because it is written so competently that the machine translation into my language is almost perfect!

      Nope, nw he just nerf himself by saving the world and crying and whining about every single person he "fail", its just unending grind of one fail mission to another with no real story in between. The only reason mc even surive is because he's mc. imagine running into certain death scenerio with 0% chace of winning for the sake of streching the story and suriving that only because of plotarmor.

        The scenarios you mentioned occurred for something known as character development to take place, they showed us how sunny has grown from a self-centered teenager to an adult who sees wider implications and has finally achieved something akin to conviction that he was searching for.

        Please tell me some moments of certain death where plot armor was used.

          Literally the novel is based on the predestined attribute, which literally is putting plot armor on it so that it is difficult but not enough to not die and obtain benefits.

            Everybody that is born is destined to die, but one chooses what to do between that time period in relation to one's circumstances, I always considered his fated attribute to fix the end, not how he reached it.

            Besides the whole premise of this novel is to break fate, the spell was literally created for that.

      Who are you asking to fix it? Me? Then I would have to disappoint you, the time police is already guarding this time period due to it being a nexus point in history, I don't want to tear faces with world government for now.

        I stopped a little before that, I don't know, I like light novels to escape reality and think of myself in the place of any character, seeing myself as a slave, having a harem, something strange like zoophilia or something worse disappoints me and I stop reading novel.

          If you are looking for a good read, here are some of them: Beyond the Timescape [Wuxiaworld], Why Should I Stop Being a Villain , Armipotent ( ????? ALERT ((waiting for the release of chapters other novels)) . And perhaps the best novel that I have read and which is finished Warlock of the Magus World.

    absolutely phenomenal of a novel and I adore volume 1 but why??? volume 2 is just so unnecessary why does it have to start with a very long ass flashback about some random stuff I don't give a shit about and sunny attitude regress. Volume 1 sunny is already fine and I understand that mc develops/changes but why do I have to read a long ass flashback about it instead of the conventional flow where we follow mc to that point why the f#ck is it backwards? I just don't get it and trust me I tried to go through it but I can't Ughhh it feels like it's so different from the sunny I know from volume 1 ehh

      yea, vol.1 sunny is awesome, He was weak but cunning, a loner kid from outskirt who knows how to survive and the rule of the street. Later sunny is just a neverfilling void of needy emotion with all his i'll save them all heroic mentality, self blaming for ever bad thing in the world, power of friendship and all that. All the while claming the opposite, like, I dont need friends but whenever his supposed 'friends' ask him and he'll bendover back for them until they drop him after using him or betray him...and we're back to I dont need any friend...until they come back for round2.
      is the only person i like in this whole series so far, everyone else can go die in a ditch.

      The way the scnes are written to the story, everything is perfect for this novel to be an anime. IDK if the author did that on purpose or not but its great.

    Well i hate to say this but I agree with you regardless how much i like this novel pressure

    My main problem with this novel is, author nerf mc at every turn, with the excuse of 'fated' aspect he keep pushing mc from one terrible situation to another with a measly wins to keep people barely content.

    Unlike reading RI, LOM, TLM, during the novel you dont get the feeling of "OMG, how did he do that and how did i not think of it. It's brilliant". At every turn i see mc waste the potential possiblity and you are kept wondering why didnt he do this or If this terrible thing hadn't happended to him he's have been so much better.

    Eg:




    All i want is for him to try and maximize his gain. It doesnt even matter if he fail, atleast TRY. but we all know author not gonna go that route since mc can become super OP and it'll ruin the story.

    What is TLM

            Being complicated is bad. It just means you can't do simple things well. The author's lack of talent and skill is clear from the first few chapters.

    Until now, I dont understand why sunny is the mc he is literally trash, especially in the second arc. If he was a secondary character, that would be better.
