Not really, its widely claimed to be the best web novel on the market. If you're in any way a part of the WN community you'll have heard of this series.
Have already read it 3 times. And by the 3rd time, I have noticed several foreshadowing especially on the beginning which made me happy despite knowing what will happen.
I saw a comment that motivated me to get through the first 100 chapters (which were mostly conversations) which is "if you are confused, you'r supposed to be confused." I think the reason mose people drop this novel within the first few dozens of chapters is that it's too confusing. What most people don't understand is that this novel does not spoon feed you necessary information to get you to understand the conversations.
English major conversaitons on light novel pub, lmao 6th chapter i got the gist of it but it's simply not fun, im banging my head against the wall to understand half of the words
@@timjohnson6957 bro I’m in 9th and I can’t understand this shi, I gotta read the novel then switch to the manhwa just to be sure I’m understanding it right
Honestly the best novel ive ever read. The first time i have seen it through manhw there was a lot of info dumps(it was still okay tho) and ive delayed reading it or just outright forgot about it(I forgot about i). And ive read it out of curiosity, the first volume was decent there was just something about it that makes you want to read it more idk man. And after the first volume was just so fucking good. The tarot club and meetings. The interaction between characters(I love you arrodes), the antagonist(the only thing i hate about him is him and the hunreds of bl pictures with him and klein). Theres just so many things great about it. One time I even questioned if this masterpiece was made by a human to which i dont know wtf i was talking about. Overall it was great especially if you dont read reviews at least imo. The fight scenes was so goshdamn good to read. If you havent read it yet then read it just do it, . And dont force yourself to read it. Anyway sorry for that long ass essay I just want to say my feelings about it. Ive just read it without any expectations so if you havrnt read it yet then.. idk
Incredibly refreshing, specially the setting and the power system. Shit was also scary like bansy harbor chapter. Also has very emotional chapters like the death of the nighthawk members.
CN Webnovels have been popping with The Legendary Mechanic, The Lord of the Mysteries, Release that Witch, Warlock of the Magus World, and many other more
Me realizing that at 3:37 the way the inner circle is cut is corresponding to the levels Above the Sequences o.O. but seriously the novel is so damn good!!!
Bro it's not a hidden gem it's widely regarded as the best web novel in the wn community and someone who's in the wn community has atlest heard of it once it's exactly popular in the wn community
You didn't really talk about any of the aspects you mentioned in the beginning of the video, like why you thought the writing style was funny, or what made the characters interesting, or how the world building tied into the the sequences and characters. I also think you made the pathway system seem more confusing than it actually is, as sequences are really easy to understand and are even numbered based on power level. Also, your "summary" really only applies to maybe the first arc of the book. While Klein does desire to get home, his journey doesn't directly follow that goal, and oversimplifying the process of advancing his sequence, which is his most obvious goal, really takes away from the appeal of wanting to watch him grow (most people are sick of MCs who's only desire is to return home, and Klein is far more human a character than those One-Dimensional protagonists). Hell, you didn't even mention the pirates or Tarot Gathering! I appreciate the attention you're giving the book, but this review was really bad and wouldn't have convinced me to read LotM.
I think if someone takes a look at one single review and uses that as the sole basis for whether to read something or not, that’s not entirely on the reviewer lol
I don't know since I haven't tried reverend insanity cause too evil of a protagonist is not my cup of tea. I also skipped warlock of the magus world due to the protagonist being so evil. So for me Lord of mysteries is number 1. It is mainly cause this novel probably has the best and most unique magic system in the whole fiction world.
spoiler warning: I read LOTM to chapter 100 and my conclusion is: While LOTM has an interesting setting and power system, it has nothing else the story is going nowhere, and all the MC has done so far is making divination. I' will wait for the anime adaptation (if there's any) and give it another go but even the manga is bad so I don't know how an anime would save it.
maybe he's talking about reading the manhwua first before the webnovel? if its that he's right, because the webnovel is way way better than the manhwua.
The funny part that show how hidden gem LoTM really is, is that this video is watched by the novel's loyal fan themselves.
The king of all web novels, and I’ve read a lot! Even better the second time around!
The longest story I've ever read and I wish it were longer 😭 the horror elements and lovecraftian inspirations were so damn good
We waiting for 2 next books
I guess u should try something like ‘my house of horrors’
The second boon got announced for January next year
2is comming out
@@wheelchairguy477 when???
LOTM is so incredibly underrated!
I agree!
BRO ITS VERY GOOD

LoTM was really good. 5/5 in my opinion.
It's my favourite Light novel too ^^, though as said in the video I think it had a bit of a rough start.
You forgot to mention the lovecraftian genre
correct. I forgot it. 😅
LOTM the best novel i ever read
I wouldn't say it's a hidden gem considering that it's known as the de facto top 2 CN webnovels together with Reverend Insanity
*Praise be to Mr. Fool!*
just started reading a few days ago, already on chapter 241. it's pretty decent rn
currently at chapter 1025 it's a really good read
@@harizazrin4059 Noice! I'm in 904
im on chapter 391 its getting good
Using emoji with monocle, fool! Do you entertain a thought of courting death?!
my man dropped one great video, shitposted 5 times, never to be seen or heard from again
CN Webnovels have been popping with The Legendary Mechanic, The Lord of the Mysteries, Release that Witch, Warlock of the Magus World, and many other more
correction, top cn webnovels have been popping, most of the cn webnovels are generally horrible
Nice video for a first one! Any plans of continuing?
well yes, technically, but right now I don't have a lot of time 😬.
LOTM is nice, especially since most of Webnovel's novels being released are full of Chinese nationalism.
I'd put this among the top with Er Gen's works
glowing gem now
Great video! I suggest you to read reverend insanity it’s my favorite
Circle of Inevitability
this and reverend insanity are my favorite novels
Me realizing that at 3:37 the way the inner circle is cut is corresponding to the levels Above the Sequences o.O. but seriously the novel is so damn good!!!
like complex worldbuilding, compelling mysteries, incredible magic system, cool characters, hidden identities, genius plot twists?! THAT'S MY STUFF
I wonder if the Lord of the mysteries Manhua is still ongoing or is it still on pause or maybe ended?
In 2022 gonna be second book
@@TormisMrFool what’s the second book going to be about?

Manhua is dropped. You can read the novel though.

Wish they could do manga or anime adaptation
Why would you ever upload 4 minute video of a portion of a review?
Because it took me a bit longer to make than thought. Therefore I decided to uploaded it rather than to not upload anything. Though I see your point.
@@danganstyle4999 When you complete it upload it as one full video(including this) if possible
@@freak5_567 Sure. Eventually.
Amon approaves your video!
Why do you do this you know full well half the community has monocle ptsd
BY YOUR WILL!
I wonder if theres other light novels like this one
its very good but still not quite on the level of Reverend Insanity imo. wht do you all think??
I don't know since I haven't tried reverend insanity cause too evil of a protagonist is not my cup of tea. I also skipped warlock of the magus world due to the protagonist being so evil.
