Shadow Hack

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

By coincidence, Li Yunmu found a super machine from humanity’s age of darkness. From that point onwards, his ordinary life would never be the same! Aptitude? Innate talent? What are these? Could they be eaten?

I have neither aptitude nor innate skill, but my shadow can level up using hacks. Experience, Ability points, battle prowess… all of them could be hacked. Even while he is asleep or tired, he could still increase his skills.

[Ding, your shadow has killed an ant, you have gained experience points and ability points.] [Ding, your shadow has successfully killed a dragonfly, it dropped a dimensionality box.] Crap, even killing insects can also increase his experience and get him rewards. What else!

This is a great weak to strong series. Normally fast progression gets boring fast but I'm really enjoying the world building concept and progression despite the speed. My only complains are the horrificly unrealistic measurements and that backward "worlds" are blocked. Excellent read if you can ignor the minor background details that seem rediculous at times.

This story is pretty good so far. It is like your average story of a person suddenly obtaining great power, however, there is a twist to it. Would read it for a good read and time.

What bonifide said was incorrect. The passage says "Blonde blue eyed white people, black people with black hair, people with brown hair, brown eyes and brown skin, people of the Desolate race coming from Desolate Continent, as well as Neptune people coming from the Northern Sea." There is no racism in the novel but there... more>> is a lot of stereotyping. So if you don't like it then yea.

Read a few chapters to see if you like it or not. Not everyone likes and dislikes the same story. :) <<less

Novel is good. Well lets say start is good, hope it won't be ruined. In fact I never find anything related with racism until now, I don't know about future. For me the setting is quite good. No comments on system thing, these are well popular stuff now. I think there may be chances for harem. Not quite sure, just getting some vibes. Plot is OK, no serious stuff happened, apart from some minor things related to family till now.

I think this gonna have some potential. Release frequency is also... more>> good. Hope you can enjoy this. <<less

So far not bad... hopefully, there is no romance in this novel because whenever there is romance in a good novel somehow it always ruins the story for me. I will wait and see... if I find the story compelling after 50+ chapters I will give more stars. Gambate Translation team.

Pretty nice story so far, the system may be a tad OP but nothing crazy for me like some the other shit, the system sort of reminds me from fishing the myriad worlds but only a little, its more active in this story. The only thing that bothers me right now is that the author doesn't do a good job telling us how much time has passed after each time skip and stuff like that if u know what I mean. I hope this story does not deteriorate like the... more>> other system novels tend to <<less

Forgive for my lack of grammar..

Everything went upside down when the MC encounters ancient gods as his enemies. No more talk abt his hard-earned skills or shadows, he always turns to the system for help. From the beginning of the story, we can see that the MC has a strong ego cuz he hates to be used as a chess piece by powerful people. It's even more frustrating when he's still arrogant n thinks that he can handle everything as he sees fit.

I can't continue to read especially when he... more>> turned from a man of principle (half of the story) into a playboy (in a matter of tens of chapters) n suddenly got himself 3wives (Odin's daughter, Zeus' daughter n another one). Its okay if there's a love story behind but not really.

I like the story in the beginning and I want to finish this novel as I don't like giving up halfway but I really need a break n calm my mind first.

The novel's titled Shadow Hack but im not sure if there's still anything abt shadow at all in the later part of the novel.

Edited: After reading some reviews that has completed the novel, I decided to not continue as there's no point to read a story with no personality, full of love story nonsense with no story, n I can see no conclusion. I totally agree this is more like reading a different novel in the later part of the story (a bad one at that). <<less

To be honest here, the novel started out good. Everything was ok but when it got to 500+ I just got lost on the direction the story was going. It seemed rushed to me. He relied too much on the system that helped I'm at the beginning. Even the system can forcibly take over his body when he needs help or it can even make him say things he didn't mean to say. The story was ok until it got to the point where all these gods started coming out.... more>> The development of it just make me lose interest. As I'm writing this right now I'm at 670. I just want to find out how this novel ends because I've read so far into this and I'm almost done. <<less

All I can say is from 500, it headed towards a downward spiral. Even before it wasn't that amazing. A waste of time. Don't read. Even if you don't have anything to read and just want to read anything, I dont recommend this. I wasted 3 to 4 days reading this and I regret it. Absolute bullshit.

The story became so bad that from 400-500 mark the grammar of the translation quality worsens because the translators think of it as a lost cause.

Just read this novel and for me it's good. You can't say that the MC to... immature for he thinks that's his 'mature' enough to understand what's going on. To think that he is assassin and trying his best not to be 'outstanding' which is not cannot avoid for he have some short of temper or something.

I'll learn to like this even if not perfect and have so many 'error' or something thinking that he just a 'child' and maybe the story will improve somehow like the last novel I... more>> read.

Now then... Thinking that 'what's other comments for this novel?' and I see so many complaints if you can say so. I'll feel down like you know? It's worth it? The novel it's not in the wrong, let's say that the author is too... Short of view of things about.

If the author know what's wrong then he indeed not correct some mistakes if you say.

It's say it on word by the MC father 'my son has mature' f- then this hopeless. Then again I will wait until some more chapters maybe thousands. Then let's see if this change. After all it's a good story. (for me :3)

I'll review this again. <<less

Li Yunmu walked to her sister and smelled her sweet odor. He brushed her bangs to one side and removed those uncouth and huge spectacles from her face and then he touched her fair face, tearing her make up down.

He retreated back a few steps and took a good look at her face, although he had previously seen her all his life, Li Yunmu was still stunned by his sister's exceptional looks.

"Sister Yan, you don't have to mask yourself in front of other in future anymore. You are now a member of a fluxer's family. You should now possess sufficient confidence to hold your head high."

Cmon people, that's an absolutely beautiful sentiment.

I'll update my review if it changes but right now this novel's a good read. 4/5 <<less

The amount of information dumps and chains off extremely large words is an annoying enough of a reason to stop most people from reading this. Many happenings are basically able to be explained in a paragraph but, for god knows why, is dragged to a chapter or two.

It feels like you're making progress only to have realized that whatever you were doing didn't matter.

I really tried to be patient with this novel but it has a lot of truly bad writing. The author makes you believe the MC has obtain truly rare and powerful power but then the author suddenly pulls random new characters out of his ass that is supposedly with the same if not similar power. The MC obtains power to create his own dimension/universe which apparently a lot of people can also do?

No consistency and just like MOST if not ALL chinese novels, suffers from using OVERBLOWN and EXAGGERATED naming... more>> sense.

Ex. Why call a normal steel city heavenly city or techniques like sun god flame or whatever when its not exactly the most powerful. They use big terms like heavenly, god, celestial, mythical among others as if they were a normal thing. I even see the term king quite a lot but I dont think it should have been used that way at all.

This had so much promise at the start but went downhill real quick. Its just sad <<less

This novel is very confusing. There is alot of "Dimension" and "plane". The worst thing is the: The MC doesn't speak much at the early chapters and always serious to get things done but on chapters 600+ his character development turns to upside down. Seriously he become talkative, His system is even talkative/joking at him (seriously that didnt happen during early chapters).

I forgot what chapters is when the MC when to Origin World. MC will meet a woman name "An" (Miss An) and she was a so-called representative of the Underground Serpent (organization) she was portrait as cunning and ruthless woman then later on she decided to seduce the MC (okay I understand) then later she in fact is the leader of the so-called organization and her character development/reasoning turn upside down. She is no longer cunning and ruthless (oh and Li Qinghong and others was supposed to be captured by them yet Miss An didnt make a deal to MC to let Li Qinghong and others freed, seems like the author forget them).

Overall: This is a bad novel.

Another "good attempt gone wrong", starts off pretty well, stays pretty decent for a few hundred chapters then nosedives into confusing mediocrity.

Spoiler

This is most notable after all the different "earths" merge together later on, not only is the event pretty *meh*, over with in the blink of an eye but it ends up totally confusing as hell at that point, it is also where story progression pretty much halts in favor of chapter padding...... again. Also the MC's shadows stop being "a thing" later on as well, they end up being nothing more than a glorified self boost in ability making all the previous shadow growth and plotline redundant.

My first time giving review, so stay with me for a little bit, okay..

Oh, I dropped this novel, below is the reason.

Here it is : The first 200 chapter is good, though there is a lot of forgetable character whose purpose is just a filler, including the supposed childhood sweetheart of his (which we barely have any info about her) and a lot more character that just serve 1 purpose ; said one liner and be forgotten.

But, as the story goes on to the chapter 300-500, it goes waaay worse,... more>> little to no Info about the world (and I already take that with a grain of salt) but just the notion his motive kept changing, and those lucky encounter of the MC just over the top, and full of forgetable character/info/etc even when I read this till the chapter 500+ is a week makes me confuse about who is who and what is what, the story progression is that low.

And the battle after the MC return in chapter 500+ just waay worse ; Questionable reasoning/motive, s*upid-ass side character, and even the strong guy at the top of the world is also becoming idiotic. It is like all the previous flaws times 10 plus steroid. And waay too convulated world bulding, like the Author wanted to create a new Arc but failed miserably.

And that is just a few reason I dropped this novel. If any of you out there want to read this novel, feel free but just dont use your brain at all, you won't need, since the story told you something then it will never be mentioned. Again.

Thanks for reading this rant yo, peace out. <<less

I enjoy reading the novel. Each time I see a new chapter I rush to check it out. Yes it's not perfect. But It is fun. I'm curious to know what will happen to the character in the future.

It makes me sad when I see people leaving awful reviews about it. Because not only they don't make any sense but also they ruin the reputation of a fun to read story. It's scary how dumb people can actually be. It's not WoW. You haven't invested 10 years of your life... more>> to read it. You don't even like the story. So why the f you come here and write your shitty reviews? You can always open another book and start reading it if you don't enjoy this one. <<less

This novel is a decent sci-fi cultivation novel. The super cheat that the MC has is actually very interesting. For anybody who's played an MMORPG and has used or thought of using bots to grind, this will be a really fun novel to start reading. The Shadow Hack allows the MC to basically grind exp/items/everything with bots (shadows).

The strongest encouragement that I provide is for you to give this novel a shot, read the first 20 chapters. Different people have different tastes, but this novel is worth a try. It... more>> does world building decently. The side characters are pretty interesting. The fight scenes are pretty good. The pacing of the story is pretty fast. In comparison with tr*sh tier face slapping novels, this way better.

However, the biggest drawback of the novel is also its appeal, the super OP hack system. As the name suggests, it is a hack system that breaks all the rules, effectively making the world building and plot pointless. The system has no limits, it can randomly award the MC with huge powerups. It can randomly give the MC super OP weapons and super OP skills. He can do anything, and when he can't, the system will do it for him. For example, the MC fell under a mental spell and almost became brain dead but the system is omnipotent and came to save him without him doing anything.

You will enjoy the unique plot and non-tr*sh writing for a while before eventually realizing that the system is so s*upid and OP that reading any further is pointless. <<less

This novel had a lot of potential. But the author is so sh*t that it went all down the drain. The word bloting is just to much to take. The MC was and is sh*t and cant accomplish anything without his cheat. Then comes the power system. There is no scale whatsoever. At level 1 he has defence and offence matching with the 'choosens' of the bigger sects. All of this because he cutivated an 'A' grade technique. Its as if the others in the world dont have those techniques.... more>> This sh*t happens in other novels as well but they give some relevent reason for that. <<less

Poorly thought out power fantasy. World building is mediocre and full of holes. MC has no character development to speak of, just get more power to kill more people. Side characters and villains are shallow stand-ins for the MC to step on or kill. MC is frequently saved by Deus Ex Machina...

This novel was really good for a while, almost a 5, but once I got to around chapter 125ish it started to go down hill REAL quick. The author started to ignore important events that he wrote just chapters before. I know that the author is trying to make the story go down a certain path, but when it's forced in a poorly done way instead of a well written flow... it feels like nails on a chalk board.

Once I got to chapter 130 I was just like "Ugh... I... more>> REALLY don't want to continue reading this..." and so now here I am writing this review. Right now the MC is going on a dumb anger rampage like almost every insulted young master who can't properly control their emotions. It's just so annoying to read right now. I don't see any way for the MC to survive after doing so many s*upid things over and over now, unless super strong plot armor just magically appears and saves him, again. <<less
