    There's a *law of beyonder characteristics convergence.* The core law of the novel in play.
    It's stating that. Beyonder attract beyonders. But there's more into that(spoiler free because it's explain in the early of novel).
    Beyonder of the same pathway attract each other. Not only that, their neighboring pathway also attract neighboring pathways. And there's also a beyonders of another pathway attract to you because you associated with one of their neighboring(or the same) pathways.
    No matter how great you can hide. You're destinied to attract the danger both upon yourself and your surroundings.

    one of my favorite things about this book is the sense of horror each pathway brings to the human being foolish enough to consume...the rituals for advancements the acting process challenge your humanity constantly the corruption that comes with being a high sequence beyonder literally forces you to be a cold blooded monster, I think the lesson to take home with the pathway is that no human is meant to gain godhood

    Pseudo-Spoiler about the LOTM powersystem
    These voices aren't universal between pathways, the "ravings" are the result of a beyonder possessing a uniqueness choosing to broadcast themselves to all lower beyonders in their pathway. For Old Neil's case this was especially bad as the highest authority of his pathway (the Hidden Sage) is a notorious menace that instils people with knowledge harmful to them.
    Beyonders in pathways of which there are no gods, uniqueness bearers, or simply the presence a benevolent god/uniqueness bearer do not hear these ravings whatsoever.

      you still hear the ravings when you're going to the next sequence right? I think it was due to the fact that the beyonders body needs to acclimate to the power as well as the fact that when they start going up a sequence their mentality becomes unstable.

    Spoiler
    With you saying that Evernight and Storm god putting their differences aside to focus on their believers, I view it as them mainly being selfish. Evernight was shown to have enough power to slay the god of combat or at least fight back more since the beginning of the war, but her ambition to climb the sequences and become an outer god with her epoch long schemes outweighed her want to finish the war. She could have actually wanted to help but as you increase in sequence the less "humane" you become and the more power you would want, especially with the upcoming catastrophe.

      But if she doesn’t advance in the sequence before the end of the world all mortals will face many different old ones. The point is that she needed to sacrifice the battle to win the war, the god of war wouldn’t give his power and she needed it. Unless she gave up her power to him and hoped that he would do her work for her there were very little options on what to do

Her plan is nurture LoTM that on her side and try to let the trustworthy at least on tacit agreement Gods to get their sefirot to have enough power to fight outer gods. But lets be real if klein manage be a pillar before world catastrophe he alone enough to screw all those outer gods but i bet it will be massive fight. Some of outer gods authority is just bullshit

      Lotm as its name suggests, focuses on mystery. It's slow at the start, because the audience is still learning abt the world. Just like typical mystery genres.
      Vol 1 especially so, as it's the tutorial volume, introducing the stage, the era, the different factions, the lifestyles, the power system etc. Even so, there're already things brewing in the shadows, someone is plotting something, the events will unfold at the end of vol 1. If that ending doesn't satisfy you, lotm is probably not your cup of tea.
      The end of Vol 1 marks the end of serenity and mundane. Now that the tutorial has ended, the plot speeds up non-stop till the end. Check volume ratings.
      I'm not sure what made you start reading lotm. But I hope that you know what you're getting into. If you like SCP foundation, mythologies and Lovecraftian horror, you'll enjoy reading lotm.
      My recommendation for checking if you like the vibes of lotm. Listen to lotm ‘Code: Mystery the official vers. full’ (turn on the captions), watch fan lotm MVs, ‘Bad end nights’ and ‘Outsider’. Ofc don't check the comment section to avoid spoilers. The song and vids can't spoil you without much context.

Most criticisms about lotm is that vol 1 is slow. The rest are praises, thus many artists show their love for the story through fanarts, fan amvs and fan songs.
