With the advent of steam power, mankind has advanced and ushered in the industrial revolution. This is the age of steam locomotives, guns, and cannons, as well as curses, magic, artifacts, and the supernatural.

Hidden in the shadows are a group of extraordinary people who wield enormous power and strange abilities that normal people cannot even begin to comprehend. They are known as Transcendents!

Bryan lost his parents at a very young age and was forced to live on the streets. That is until his whole life turned around when he was shown the Path to becoming a Transcendent.

The Theft Path specializes in deceit and illusions. It can steal everything under the heavens. Even the powers, thoughts, and dreams of others.

Follow Bryan on his journey through this dangerous and treacherous world as he steals from gods and robs the mortals.

This is the story of The Deceitful One.

***

My novel has a steampunk world setting, so expect a lot of steam-powered technology as well as retro-looking futuristic inventions. Furthermore, there will be churches, secret organizations, and cults. So if you’re a fan of LotM, you will definitely like my novel. Hold tight and ride with me through this magical journey. The story only gets better and better. Collapse

    Based on the description it looks like the novel is very influenced by LOTM in volume 2 were we follow detective Sherlock Moriarty. I enjoyed this volume of LOTM I hope to see it in this novel. quiet

    Read chapter 31. It's great.
    Starting from chapter 66. I visibly freaked out.
    Chapter 97 deserves attention.
    Chapter 103 needs your attention.
    Chapter 160 made me laugh.

    It feels like clickbait, the mc has a neutral personality and more friendly personality which I didn't sign up for.

    Read a few chapters, but I didn’t see any spark of originality in this novel. 1st chapter exposition is useless crap. Next 6 chapters are just exposition dump, except the world is just a generic central continent, northern continent, etc continent world with kingdoms. MC has generic wronged tragic backstory to justify shamelessness.

    Usually I can tell if something has potential even if the opening is crude since some authors improve their writing or the TL is a pig, but this is just not interesting in MC, plot, or world premise. I’d rather read about a f#cking tree.

    You have my absolute respect/sympathy if ur able to read past the first chapter.
    The amount of cringe stuffed in there is a masterpiece on its own, and you know what? I don't think I can handle more for now.

    The novel has potential, but the main character is a bit goofy and very gullible. Caution is not for this protagonist. Luck will always save him!
