Lord of the Mysteries序列的戰爭 (old)

诡秘之主 (new)

which chapter and the end of volume 1 ?

It's a 9/10 for me. I recommend this novel for all Author POV readers. The first few chapters are boring and info dumps but as you continue reading those info dumps will be very crucial. The world building is awesome similar to World's Apocalypse Online. Mc starts off very weak but he gains strength slowly and becomes OP. Mc doesn't do some random bs Goku power up but insteads work for his strength. I almost forgot to mention that Mc is cunning, cold hearted, and calculative. I won't spoil it for new readers but I'mma just say that this novel is full of twists and turns and everything is really unexpected

Is the translation here complete and no missing dialogues?

many say this is good, but I'm not a fan of the mystery genre... I really want to read, but I'm afraid! someone to advise me??

I tried reading this because a lot of people said it was good. Some did say that the pacing in the beginning is kind slow, but honestly, I didn't mind that, but when I got into reading the Novel....

Let's just say that I'm kind of dissatisfied.

I'm sure this'll get better later on, but in the beginning, there's just too much information being given to us, that's it's getting too hard to process all of it.

It's just...too overwhelming...

I’m not going to say much since I can’t put into words how good this novel is. It’s a 10/10 for me and I can’t wait for the upcoming second part of the novel.

This is the closest as a book quality fiction you'll ever get by reading Chinese web novels and I've been reading for over a decade now.

+Dense but good prose
+The cast/characters are well rounded and they mature throughout the span of 3 years
+Excellent world building
+Explores a lot of themes but never gets too lost with that
+Well researched power system and the best out of all the fiction I've read
+Good translations

-Bloat and padding as most Chinese novels suffer but this one pads by describing the mundanity of the protag's life making you feel like it's a slice of life novel

Only 3 fiction had left me completely empty after finishing it this one, Mother of Learning and The Wheel of Time. This fic will go down as my one of favourites and I can't wait for my physical copy to arrive.

Sorry if my English is bad, I'm French:

"Lord of the Mysteries" is a good novel that easily fits into my top 10. Here is my opinion, on its good sides, as on its bad:

Positives: An original universe, here our MC will not come back to life in a world that is at the time of the Middle Ages, but at the time of the industrial revolution. The supernatural side of this world is also hidden from the general public, while containing its unique parts. The Tarot Club as well as the secret identity that our MC uses by being its leader also makes it the strong point of the novel. The mysteries of this world are full of secrets that we and the MC will uncover over the course of the story, which is a change from the majority of novels which mostly center on the progression of the protagonist's strength. Humor and also at the rendezvous as well as the horror scenes that will send shivers down your spine. A must read.

Negative: Yes, even an excellent novel like "Lord of the Mysteries" has its errors, which fans don't mind. First, the description of the fights which, at the beginning, are easy to follow but which become more and more complicated to understand as the MC and his enemies become stronger and stronger. Indeed the supernatural powers of this story are original and bizarre, which is both the strength and the weakness of this novel. The more powerful the characters in this novel, the more complicated and bizarre their abilities. That they use this kind of powers to solve certain problems will not confuse us because the author explains their complex abilities well. But this kind of abilities in the fights between powerful are so numerous that they are easily lost, which makes the fights from the middle until the end of the novel very confusing to follow. Secondly, the author gives explanations in whole paragraphs to stuff our heads with theories about the story, which means that we often have to reread the same part several times to understand it. The explanatory parts where the MC solves mysteries are too compact which makes them complicated to understand. The author should have given these explanations little by little in the story so that we take the time to digest them. Finally, third, the Tarot Club is not developed enough, which is a shame because it is one of the strong points of the novel.

Conclusion: Overall a good novel that must be read despite some flaws, I recommend it
