Synopsis

With the rising tide of steam power and machinery, who can come close to being a Beyonder? Shrouded in the fog of history and darkness, who or what is the lurking evil that murmurs into our ears?

Waking up to be faced with a string of mysteries, Zhou Mingrui finds himself reincarnated as Klein Moretti in an alternate Victorian era world where he sees a world filled with machinery, cannons, dreadnoughts, airships, difference machines, as well as Potions, Divination, Hexes, Tarot Cards, Sealed Artifacts...

The Light continues to shine but mystery has never gone far. Follow Klein as he finds himself entangled with the Churches of the world—both orthodox and unorthodox—while he slowly develops newfound powers thanks to the Beyonder potions.

Like the corresponding tarot card, The Fool, which is numbered 0—a number of unlimited potential—this is the legend of "The Fool."

Masterpiece. This is an web novel/donghua set up in a Victorian setting with supernatural powers known as "Sequence pathways" which can be obtained by drinking potions. The story is incredible , that's all I can say. Its main theme revolves around the concept of 'Home' , you'll realise it just at the first chapter. The protagonist Klein Moretti is simply (chefs kiss) , and antagonists are equally as (chefs kiss) , overall it's a wonderful story that I would recommend to people who are serious readers or have read many lns/wns before as it takes time to build up , and it isn't your typical ...

An unforgettable journey over nearly three months. There are ups and downs, but the work maintains an outstanding level, especially in world-building and its power system. The secondary characters shine, making it impossible not to connect with them—Audrey and Leonhard stand out brilliantly.

The reappearances and farewells of characters create truly memorable moments. However, the translation leaves much to be desired, and some chapters overwhelm with excessive information, making them tiring at times. Still, the Tarot meetings more than make up for it with their brilliance.

Now, onto COI. Despite the rumors about the ending and the abundance of French, it deserves a chance.

Preliminary (213/366 eps)
Spoiler
Lord of the Mysteries (LOTM) is a novel that is most popular amongst web novel fans. An incredibly bloated story, with an interesting power system, unlikeable characters, but in-depth world building, an unsalvageable English translation, and pacing that doesn't improve.



Spoiler level: Minor



Here are some positives and negatives, starting with the negatives.
