Reviews of Lord of Mysteries by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving - Webnovel

Lampoon the Moon. LOTM is an incredibly well-constructed blend of fantasy-horror-steampunk-mystery genre fiction, with a compelling cast, a fascinating world, and one of the most engaging magic systems I've come across. The specific mix of Victorian steampunk setting and fin-de-siècle themes is an uncommon choice - requiring that much more development to bring to life, but this slight unfamiliarity makes it all the more compelling. The world feels as though it is just out of reach; realistic and relatable, but with a vague and ethereal otherness that drives the reader forward. While it may seem dense or plodding at first, LOTM's beginning is a slow-burn that is worth savouring. The sense of delayed gratification from the initial act's denouement is a core part of the magic. The leisurely introduction allows for a deeper and more sincere investment in the setting and protagonist, and provides the fuel to justify the frenetic pace as the mystery deepens and the story progresses. And to be clear, once the pace picks up, it does not stop (regardless of how badly you need to stop reading and go to sleep). At the end of the day, a mystery is only ever as good as its resolution, and the most welcome surprise of all is that LOTM manages to consistently deliver on this promise. As each layer of fog is uncovered, a perfectly satisfying balance of explanation and complication of the fool's journey is revealed - deftly building tension until releasing it through explosive action as the narrative wends its way unrelentingly forward to the next layer. There is such a gratifying degree of depth and attention to detail in LOTM that the author's passion for their creation, and the staggering amount of work it must have taken to realise it, is never in doubt. This story is a phenomenal achievement, and one I will think about often and fondly for many, many years - a true mind-worm, as it were. 🧐

The best book ever. The story is impressive and the writing is so good

One of the best I’ve read so far this book got me addicted

The only thing I regret about this book is how late I discovered about it!

This is a Masterpiece. Nothing more to say.

Possible the greatest novel of this genre to ever exist. I would almost advise that you don’t read it, due to it ruining all future reads.

The King of yellow and black whom weilds goodluck The Lord of mysteries , whom dared to fool fate ....'He' is The fool

One of the very few stories on WN that is consistently excellent in all aspects. There is almost nothing that we feel could be written better.

I love this story that I’m reading the Webtoon and manga one of the best stories I’ve ever read thank you so much for writing this blessing

I'm shamelessly giving it 5 Stars and it absolutely deserves it. where do i start from it's world building, details, character designs, lores, lovecraftian mythos, plot structure, foreshadowings, memorable side characters, consistent protagonist it has everything that a reader needs. my only advice will be, if it feels slow to you at start then just read till end of volume 1 and if it still doesn't get to your liking then drop it.

one of the best novels I've ever read, can't say much without spoiling but I can say that it is slow paced.

I don't usually read translations but this is one of the good ones. I can see why its rated so highly. I'm getting close to the end of the free chapters though!

Um dos meu livros preferidos, talvez até o melhor de todos. já li tantas vezes que perdi a conta ❤

About time they bring this masterpiece 😤

Lord of the Mysteries LOTM is an amazing book . The whole reason I am in Webnovel is LOTM. Initially I found it hard to read but as I got into it, what do you know!! It’s a very appealing story will ongoing suspense with satisfying plots. And our MC Klein and his intelligence and astuteness is out of this world *literally*. Good balance of action, playfulness, emotional scenes and mysteries!! It’s a must read. Our little *gatherings* are to die for. Re-read so many times and I know I will again.
