fate is just an excuse for authors to repeatedly create unlikely or impossible scenarios. later it is revealed just hoe big this place is, so much so that it is basically impossible to meet anyone unless it's close to ot at the place they are all heading.
And on the other end of the rope, Cassia, the blind girl, was carefully following behind.

please don't spoil. I didn't know her name
Usually, rain always put him in a bad mood. But this time he was too thirsty to think about anything except for freshwater. Staying low so as to not be blown over the edge of the platform, Sunny cupped his hands and waited until they became filled with rainwater. Then he raised them to his mouth and greedily drank.

yeah but it probably has tunnels since the coral isn't just a maze like we humans build, ours is just walls but these are coral reefs with holes connecting some and alot of dead ends
The labyrinth was vast and multi-layered, making Sunny's head hurt after multiple fruitless attempts to memorize the layout of the nearest pathways. In the end, he sent the shadow up, forcing it to climb on top of the crimson forest and start jumping from one sharp coral blade to another — knowing full well that he himself would not be able to do the same.

yea but any person with a hint of intelligence would be able to realise that it wouldn't come until it turns dark by connecting the fact that it only started dissapearing exactly when the sun rose. for a guy that is supposed to be smart like that time he thought of using gravity to defeat an unbeatable monster he cannot figure out the oceans relation to the sun. some authors make these mistakes with characters where they seem intelligence when the plot needs it but are dumb otherwise, it also contradicts his character so far.
Despite the sudden disappearance of the dark sea and its hidden monsters, Sunny was in no rush to climb down from his circular stone platform. Firstly, he felt that if the sea was able to disappear, it was surely able to come back, perhaps at any moment.

no way he can see that far. even a hundred meters is a stretch to say the least, but hundreds as in many hundred is impossible for him unless he can see in pitch black night and has a vision that is lik e a telescope or a special ability. but so far his whole body is that of a human, his vision is no different from any regular human at the moment.
As he was gripped by a momentary panic, a remote sound suddenly drew his attention. Sunny turned around and saw a triangular dorsal fin moving in his direction. Luckily, it was still hundreds and hundreds of meters away.

it would be a dumb risk for the author, because the moment he gets a master is the moment most of the readers quit, even if the relationship gets abolished later, nobody would want to bother reading further with a real slave mc who can't even resist, its different to read a novel where mc is a slave but he can choose to lie and disobey but if he can't then it's boring and annoying as fuck to read.
Sunny was excluded from this whole side of the thing, of course. Firstly, he had already positioned himself to be perceived as an unlikable lunatic. Secondly, he simply had no time for anything except for his lessons and training. And lastly, he was wary of getting too close to anybody, afraid that a situation would arise where he would have no choice but to divulge his True Name.

I'm guessing that someone will speak his true name but it won't do anything because it needs to be said in the runic language to work.
By understanding the grammatical structure of the rune language, it was easy to extrapolate and see that the more correct translation would have been "Star of Change". More than that, there were different runes for "change", each with its own connotation. Depending on what exact rune was used to relay the meaning of the name, it could also mean "Ruinous Star" or "Star of Misfortune".

I'm having a hard time continuing this novel as it no longer makes sense, she has 3000 fragments which is way beyond her supposed saturation point which is supposed to be 1000 until she leaves, that was the whole point why being stuck in the forgotten shore was so bad for them, because they can't grow stronger once they reach that saturation point which is the same for everyone. so she shouldn't be able to grow stronger and she shouodnt have even gotten past a 1000 to begin with. I hate the fact that he's now nothing more than a dog and the author made it that way...
