"LORD OF THE MYSTERIES" is one of the most amazing and, sadly, most underrated novel in this site. This is rare gem among the isekai/transmigration series.
-World building-
The World in this series is, unlike any other I have seen before. It is very unique from all the series, I have seen or read.The worldbuilding is very detailed, so some people may be overwhelm by it. But the thing I like so much is whole world feels alive. It focuses on normal citizen their joy, hardships, difficulties. The World has heavy importance on churches, secret organisations, Gods, history, and mystery. If you dislike this elements, you
...
may not be able to enjoy this story.
-Power system-
I would have added this part in world building section. But considering how insane Magic system in this series is, it deserve it's own highlight. Why it's so good ??
Because consistency. until the end of the book, Power system remains consistent. There is no plot Armour and some random nonsense like letting out hidden power from inside. There are certain sets of rules that not even strongest characters can brake.
-story-
Story is incredible. Some of the new reader may find it really overwhelming and boring at start. But I suggest you keep going, you definitely won't be disappointed. Story involves Zhou mingrui, who has occupied body of Klein Moretti as he explored this mysterious and chaotic world. We see world from Klein perspective, so don't expect everything to be explained from the start.
- Main character-
Klein Morreti is cunning, competent and a charlatan. He is extremely introverted. He isn't some OP guy or at a top of genetic pool, but he has his circumstances. Klein Moretti has incredible character journey throughout the story. The Story deals with identity crises and loneliness of MC. He left very deep impression on me. Some people may criticise Klein for being too adaptable, but it's understandable.
-Side character-
Side characters are character of their own; they have their own agendas, goals and ambitions. Cast is diverse with good development as the story progresses.
-Antagonists-
Difficulties MC faces are very high in novel. Enemies here have actual IQ and may creep you out. Actually, there are lots of traumatic and creepy moment for MC, but I don't wanna delve too much into spoilers.
-Action-
LOTM does have heavy action in it. But don't read this just for action. Battles here depends on BIQ, resources, experience, and carefull planning. Mc has to use best of his abilities and also has to consider who his enemy is.
-Ending-
One of the best ending out there. Remember this story is klein's journey of unraveling this world. LOTM still haven't finished yet. Sequel is already out and it's called 'Circle of Inevitability'
-Cons-
By the way, everyone agrees that first 5-6 chapters are really some of the worst, lmao. Due to slow start, people drop it before even getting past that. But I suggest at least finish volume 1 before judging. Also no romance
The Story also explores themes like Economy, poverty, aristocracy, colonialism, Protesting, slavery, corruption, prostitution in much more realistic way compared to any isekai that has done untill now.
-Final Thoughts-
It's a great novel and really something worth your time. You can read it on Webnovel officially. Sadly, books aren't available physically in English. Lotm will remain one of the best webnovel/lightnovel of all time. I can only count on one hand the amount of webnovels with the same level of complexity and creativity.
