Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.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, different 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”.

- Coming back to add in that there really is a lot of unnecessary filler. An 1/3th of an entire chapter could be spent on describing appearances, scenery, and things of similar nature. Sometimes the description of a single thing takes 3 paragraphs. The pacing usually slow but there's a lot to learn so it's understandable otherwise.
- The MC really does think one dimensionally. He doesn't seem to be capable of realizing that sometimes necessary evils exist. Even though his moral code doesn't get in the way of the progress too much, it's still annoying to witness when a bunch of time is wasted because the MC wants to be a righteous cuck.
- One of the things about this that really gets me though is that the MC never seems to really lose. He seems to have this impenetrable plot armor that surrounds him. Things usually always go his way. He's always involved in matters that have beings that are levels beyond his and but yet he's always coming out on top in the end.
Conclusion: One... more>>- Consistent power scaling! One of my biggest gripes with cultivation/level-based novels is that they manage power scaling terribly. For most novels, the world's setting will always nearly match the MC's level. The only time you encounter people who are truly above or below the MC's level is for the sake of face-slapping or thigh-gripping. Not here. LotM does a splendid job of establishing a power structure early on, and having that influence the entire development of the novel. Head honchos from the beginning of the novel are still terrifying head honchos at the end, and weak bastards can still screw you over because you weren't paying attention. And, there's no "ascending to the heaven beyond the immortal lands beyond the ninth golden dragon gate heaven" nonsense.
- Rich plotline! This novel eschews the standard practice of having independent arcs within a novel, i.e. Introduce a problem, solve it via the MC, maybe use it to introduce the next problem, and then boom done the problem no longer influences the plot (I'm especially looking at you, FMoC). Once again, LotM bucks the norm. True to its name, the novel is inherently suspenseful and centered around solving mysteries, and those simple cases in the very beginning are surprisingly influential even 1000 chapters in. It's really fun to read through it even multiple times later and go "oh sh*t so we knew about it from here already??"
- In-depth character development with continued relevance! Even when novels have good character development, it's usually in one direction. The side characters don't tend to grow as people, but grow as caricatures - their existing eccentricities become stronger, and maybe their strength does too, but in the end the MC is the one calling the shots, and everyone is better off for it. It works, but I always found it annoying when the MC ends up being this blessed unparalleled individual, with or without struggle. I'll assure you that in LotM you'll see full characters; ones that are mature with complex and sincere thoughts, ones that are young but slowly learn of the world. You'll see heroes that the MC can only aspire to be like, and villains that will cause unending despair. I really do like that last part.
I could keep going, but there's no need, I think. It's good, very much so. Have fun.cliffhanger ending but what can you do, he wanted to set up a sequel, so ending chapters really felt rushed af
-
- Secret Organizations; MC is managing things from the shadows (my favorite kind of setting)
Cons:-
- Gore and horror. Sorry, I'm not good with these kinds of stuff
TL;DR: I absolutely recommend this novel.-
Edit: So, I have completed this novel now. And.... *sob sob* this is soo sad. I want mooore! I can't get over this. I feel so empty now. When will LotM 2 come out? Please, author, make it quick. This is the best f*cking thing I've ever read.Perfect description given in the extra story:MC has encounters with 3 female pirate captains but leaves with the boatswain
The bad part:
- No romance whats so ever and no heroine too (tho we have a lot of female main characters)
- Some developments later seem forced eg.

- Rushing at the end of the novel

The good parts Tbh too many to count but anyway:Trissy's sudden vengeance for the prince
Its too fast after MC reached sequence 5
DOOR was pointless, after so much hype he dies so badly and the door/magician pathway barely plays a point at all
Personally I disliked audrey's character change with progress, just personal opinion but I would have preferred she stayed the way she was at start, afterall its a gloomy evil world there
Many characters are named yet never show their faces, eg. Emlyn's parents
The Fool that doesn’t belong to this era;
The Mysterious Ruler above the gray fog;
The King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck.
