The Black Throne: Shadow Empire

Author’s Review – Totally Not Biased (but like… also yes) Wrote this story thinking it would be a slow burn about friendship, survival, and dreams. Instead, it turned into betrayal, blood, emotional damage, and questionable business decisions. Oops. If you're into cold best friends, emotionally scarred orphans, tragic love, and morally grey MCs trying to build empires from the shadows... welcome to The Black Throne. You’ll laugh. You’ll hurt. You’ll possibly yell at your screen. (I’ve done all three writing it.) P.S. I may or may not have cried writing a certain scene. P.P.S. If you guess which one, you win emotional pain points. Enjoy the ride, reader. It only gets darker from here. 😏 – Cloudy ☁️

Alex is such a cool character—he’s smart, lowkey terrifying, but also super relatable in this weird, broken way. Like, you get why he’s doing what he’s doing, even when it gets dark. The story is like watching someone slowly take over an entire underground world, but it’s not flashy or fake—it feels real. There’s betrayal, mind games, emotional gut punches, and moments where I literally had to pause and just breathe. Also, the writing? Super sharp. Not too flowery, but every line hits. It’s like watching a chess match in a world where people use knives instead of pawns. If you like dark stories, morally gray characters, and plots that actually make you think, you need to read this

The synopsis is really good that made me start reading this :3 Alex's character is good and likable, and there's still so much room for him to improve hehe, hope he gets much more cold and smart. Anw, good luck in this author!

This is novel is great a rare one to see on the app mc is smart, hard to read and good looking don't forget skilled the romance is just right not too early but not too late🌡and the plot is plotting 🤌.
