Thanks, brother, this whole army thing really gives off the vibe of the worst kind of Chinese fiction. Based on what you said, I wouldn't be surprised if the MC suddenly found himself an enemy of the "land of the bald eagle" for random reasons.
Well, there are only 9 chapters so far, so there's not much to comment on besides the fact that so far it's an interesting and fun fic. The MC doesn't seem to know anything about Shadow Slave, or at least hasn't realized he was sent to the first nightmare. Instead, he thinks he reincarnated as a Xianxia MC, and I have to admit it's really easy to reach that conclusion for someone who doesn't know it's a nightmare. Because of this, the MC has been failing repeatedly. Furthermore, because he doesn't know about the nightmare, the MC has been acting like a cultivator, and this has yielded incredible results. I really hope the MC decides not to awaken his aspect at the end of the nightmare and ends up creating a different path to power.
I fully agree with focusing on the shadow slave storyline at the beginning. Regarding the MC's flaw, you probably already have plans for how he can overcome it, most likely using his aspect, but I just thought of a way he could use for now. I remembered a Buddhist philosophy that the MC could adapt and use as a form of self-hypnosis, convincing himself that the world is part of him, so logically he can love everything that exists. Now, this doesn't mean he will love everything, since being able to love something doesn't mean loving it. He can also hate it, just as many people dislike or hate parts of themselves. The Mind as the Source of Everything (Mahayana): The Cittamastra (or "Mind-Only") philosophy posits that there is no external world independent of the mind's perception. The entire universe and experiences occur within consciousness, making the mind the fundamental foundation of all existence.
I'm sorry, but I think he really should have killed Overhaul, just like his grandfather did to kill All For One. He should have saved the quirk destroyer to use against All For One or another enemy in the future.
"I had the opportunity to kill Chisaki. Ryukyu had given the orders from the HPSC and the Hunter Association. Even so, I decided to save Chisaki because it was the right thing to do, but I really don't want to risk the Overhaul quirk. Between Chisaki's life and taking away her quirk, I would truly prefer the latter." I said solemnly. The three heroes remained in deathly silence.

Although Izumi is already strong, it's worth mentioning that the scenario is also high-level. My advice is that creating powerful forms like this should be exhausting and make it impossible to use Mai's creation quirk and the Shikigami for an extended period, thus preventing Izumi from accumulating high-level abilities like this. Furthermore, having a cooldown period even when creating weaker forms is a good idea, so this also discourages creating infinite weak forms for infinite different situations. Instead, it would be good to create some elemental forms for the breathing styles and stick with them. I think he could create a high-level Solar Sword form, several elemental forms, and stick with them. It's also worth adding an aura cost to use the elemental sword abilities instead of making them passive, but let the effect scale with the aura expenditure.
On the other hand, there's the option of making them permanent so Mai can switch between each sword form she's created, essentially allowing her to accumulate sword forms. I'll have to find some limits to avoid making it completely ridiculous, but it's an idea.

I'm sorry, but she's of legal age. The most they can do is withdraw the sponsorship and leave her to fend for herself.
"Impossible, you can't ignore it," Nezu said, shaking his head. "If you ignore this, they could force you to return to Brockton Bay permanently." Taylor grimaced in disgust.

One of the greatest uses of the escape rabbit is to create and connect shadows.
I continued attacking while looking around. The light was now much more intense; there was barely any shadow below us, and it would be harder for me to use my quirk, but it would be feasible if the others needed it.

But the fanfic said it was suppressed. In the chapter announcing the sports festival, it was said that the hero committee ordered the attack to be kept secret, and Nezu agreed.
" Of course, you wouldn't know. You know what, never mind, look it up on the internet later. It made national news in Japan ." Toph grunted. " Besides that, I don't have much. I see her from afar, and she's always with Miyamura and his two other girlfriends. They seem to get along. They train together, eat together, study together, everything."

This is one of the few things I don't like about the reverse world genre. There's a very simple logical reason why women wear bras and men don't, and it has nothing to do with sex. The reason women wear bras is because their breasts, and especially their nipples, are more sensitive, and the friction of their breasts against clothing can cause pain. Furthermore, larger breasts can cause chest and back pain without the support of a bra. Not every woman needs a bra, but they were created to meet that need, and any cultural development came later.
"Yeah! But not to have you changeing in the middle of the liv-" Tawata blinked at my chest as if she'd discovered some kind of scandalous secret, her blush deepening further "Aren't you wearing a bra?!" Tawata squealed and let go of my shirt as if it was burning her.

Well, the loss of humanity is a problem that the Beyonders in LotM face, and the reasons are well explained and make a lot of sense. To put it very simply, the Beyonders basically strengthen themselves by eating pieces of a Lovecraftian supernatural entity, so dehumanization and madness are inevitable, requiring anchors to control them. The real problem is how poorly this was done in the fic. He ended up with bouts of stupidity instead of inhumanity. It's worth mentioning that the Error and Fool paths are quite convenient because you can create anchors without needing to create a cult and have worshippers, and the MC's main path is the Fool path.
