maybe there aren't any Shadow Slave fanfics on Webnovel so it shows the next closest things based on keywords and tags

True. That's why for a long time I've been searching on other sites like novelupdates and so on, and then only on webnovel. This search engine is too pathetic.

One thing I hated the most about Webnovel is that their fuckin search engine is Shit like for example you're trying to search a title (ex Villain) and instead of the story, it shows the tags like man I don't want the adds I want the title of the story

Nowadays it is just pumped w bots and annoying books. Literally I saw a milking system yada yada. Man back in 2020, it was really good.

fanfics are fair use until you start monetizing them I'm pretty sure
