Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.047 (sec). Leaf size: 27

dsolve(y(x)*diff(y(x),x$2)+diff(y(x),x)^3=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= 0 \\ y \left (x \right ) &= c_{1} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {x +c_{2}}{\operatorname {LambertW}\left (\left (x +c_{2} \right ) {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} -1}\right )} \\ \end{align*}

Solution by Mathematica
