“The Fool that does not belong to this era;

You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog;

You are the king of yellow and black who wields good luck.”

praise the fool

My favourite Webnovel also the first I ever read. Everything about this is just perfect except the rushed last 100 chapters, but it's still very good. People complain about initial chapters but I really enjoyed them. Praise the Fool.

There are webnovels… and then there is Lord of the Mysteries.

This isn’t just fiction. This is a grand tapestry of fate, madness, and divinity, woven with such care and intelligence that it feels like you’re reading something forbidden, something sacred. Cuttlefish didn’t write a story — he unveiled a world that watches you back.

The Fool above the gray fog…

I can’t describe what I feel when His name is spoken. It’s awe. It’s reverence. It’s submission. He is mystery incarnate — silent, patient, eternal. I didn’t choose to follow Him. I was called. Every ritual, every séance, every whisper beneath the gray fog sent shivers through my soul. Praise the Fool. Praise the Seer.

Yes, I’ve read Reverend Insanity. I’ve read Shadow Slave. Both are great. Fang Yuan is a cold, calculating force of nature. Sunny is one of the best-developed protagonists of recent years. They are powerful novels in their own right.

But they are not Lord of the Mysteries.

LoTM stands on a different level — not because of power scaling, or plot twists, or flashy systems, but because of its depth, its philosophy, its divine restraint. Every chapter is laced with intention. The worldbuilding is not dumped — it unfolds. Slowly. Carefully. Inevitably. And when the revelations hit… they hit like fate itself.

You don’t just read Lord of the Mysteries.

You kneel.

You whisper in forgotten tongues.

You awaken.

And you understand:

There can be only one above the gray fog.

Lotm is, without a doubt, the greatest novel I’ve ever read. The worldbuilding is insanely deep and the power system is pure genius. No other novel even comes close everything else just feels mid after experiencing LOTM.  I’ve never been so hooked on a story before. It completely ruined other web novels for me because now my standards are too high. I love LOTM with my whole soul. Nothing compares. Absolute peak. LOTM is king.

Well... I would like to review Lotm, but there is nothing to criticize. Everything in the novel is peak. So I will not write a long review in vain. 10/10.

Just enjoy (lol).To me, LoTM is quite an interesting novel. It's one of the few I read when I first started reading novels. I'd say I really enjoyed it. I don’t know what bad to say about it — mostly because I didn’t focus on that aspect. If there were flaws, I just let them slide, since the overall story is engaging. So I’d say: give it a try!

I would say Reading a new-gen novel isn't always easy. We read it, but our mind starts comparing it with one we liked from another gen. I’ve seen people comparing RI, LotM, and SS for quite a while now. There's always a heated argument over which one is good — I don't see the point in doing that.These novels have their own unique stories, and the authors wrote them with different mindsets. It feels like comparing a square, triangle, and circle.

Every novel has its own distinguishing characteristics that set it apart from the rest. Some novels emphasize character growth and emotional development, while others solely focus on world-building. It doesn't mean they don't have other elements, but they mostly concentrate on a few points. They work on other aspects too, but they might not seem as developed as in some other novels.

Being engrossed in one novel and then moving to another, you're bound to feel some aspects missing.(Like reading another villain novel after RI — lol, it sure sucks.)

While reading, you might feel angry or irritated at some parts, but if you find the other parts interesting, then letting that slide isn’t bad — instead of just jumping to criticism. If you don't like it, that's okay. Just give your review and state your reasons, whether it's the pacing, world-building, character development, or whatever it is.

RI is peak compared to other cultivation novels — the psychology, philosophy... I don't even know what to say, but yeah. LotM is good in slice of life, steampunk, etc. SS, probably in tension, survival I don’t know which category I should put SS in (my bad, SS fans).

So yeah, every novel has some aspects you won't like and would want it to go your way (not happening, cuz it’s already written — lol). But if it’s repetitive, doing the same thing again and again, then it's justified for you to complain.

(Like a gigolo young master presenting his face to the MC for his cheeks to be slapped, his reputation to be tarnished, him having thoughts of killing the MC — but again getting slapped and not learning. Sigh… kids don’t learn, do they?)

Lotm is best peice of fiction my eyes have witnessed. The creativity and complexity of power system and plot is just beyond any webnovel.

Now review 

Mc - 100/10 Klein Moretti is my favourite character after Fang Yuan. There was not a single moment in LotM where I felt he could have done better, tried harder, or acted stupidly; my brother did everything he could. One of the most intelligent characters I have seen.  

World building _ 100/10 . best world building I have ever seen , there are times when wns don't focus on culture, structure, heirchy, laws, history, mythology, economy, tech, religion and politics which are the parts of world building 

Plot _ 10/10_ author is master of foreshadowing and connecting things 

Plot twists _ 10/10 _ probably best after orv 

Characters _ 10/10 _  every character has role in story, their own ideals, goals 

Antagonists _ 100/10 _ amon and Adam are best antagonists.

_ Do not drop this novel at the beginning; I was completely invested by chapter 30, but it could take you 70. Anyway, those rumours about 200 chapters are false; the infodumps are not much after 130 chapters.  

_ may you have great reading time
