While playing a tabletop role-playing game with friends, He Jiayin transmigrates into the body of Silas Noel, a professor of literary history at Lamifa University. Meanwhile, the city of Lamifa is in an uproar due to the escape of a heretic…

…Wait, isn’t this the storyline of the tabletop game he was running?

But he’s the Game Master, not a player?!

He Jiayin becomes the Keeper of Secrets in this world.

A student’s exam is laid before him: [Professor, please roll the dice to determine if this student passes.]

A colleague’s paper is handed to him: [Professor, please roll the dice to decide if this paper gets published.]

A heretic is fleeing from pursuit: [Professor, please roll the dice to determine if the Church’s pursuers find him.]

A transcendent being is advancing in rank: [Professor, the dice are ready.]

A man is confessing his feelings to him: [Here, take the dice.]

He Jiayin: “…”

*

[You catch a glimpse of the Divine.]

[You must make a Willpower check.]

[99/100]

[Alas, you are destined for a critical failure.]

[…You gaze at the Divine with obsessive, fervent eyes.]

[You will become the first follower of the Divine. You will follow the great God of Time and Fate—the Keeper of Secrets, Silas Noel—toward a new world.]

[…By the way, you should confess first.]

—The Keeper’s dice, reserved.

This one is plot-driven instead of romance-focused; the world-building is superb. I feel like I'm reading a literal historical document. Is a slow burn, but the burn is so slow that the ... more>>

ML doesn't appear until later into the story.

Overall, this novel is really good in terms of world-building, can't say much about characters tho. The entire story about old gods is intriguing. I very much enjoy reading that aspect of the book. Then again, I personally dislike the down-to-details writing about what time the MC gets up in the morning, what he eats, where he goes, what road he walks, and every little thing that has to be included in most of the chapters. Sure, it might be an important writing style for this particular novel; however, it's not my cup of tea.

I don't know if it'd be a spoiler or not, but I'll put one just in case.
Spoiler

I dropped this one because of the over-the-top kissing between the MC and ML, Cindo? I think they kiss every chapter; every time that I got annoyed, I dropped it. This might be a weird reason, but I can't stand it. (¬_¬)

Bro the world-building in this story was elite. I loved how rich the mythology was and how the author created this sense of mystery by slowly unveiling details about the various (made-up) religions at play. Furthermore, tbe table top game element was well utilized. I like Siles as a MC because he is level-headed despite the absolutely fantastical and often dangerous things that are happening around him. I also like that while he is definitely very smart, he doesn't feel OP because the problems that he faces require more than... more>> just wit to overcome.

Warning: there isn't a whole lot of romance in this story even though there is a ML who shows up later. The couple is cute and I like them together but the focus of this story is most definitely not the romantic plot. I personally didn't mind it so much even though I'm usually a romance junkie because the plot as a whole was absolutely riveting. I was so invested in finding out what the heck was going on with the shady religious followers because wow were they up to so much nefarious bs. If you're a fan of table top games, well-written mystery stories and/or cult documentaries you'd regret missing this story. <<less

Rating: 4.5

I have a love/hate relationship with slow burns.

... more>> I keep reading, and at the same time getting frustrated, why isn't the plot moving!!!!

Anyway.

I adore the world building in the novel. It's so vivid and detailed, I felt curiosity about every single things. And, even the details that made me feel, why even say this!!! Made me feel, oh, these details make everything more logical, more...full.

Now, this much world building, makes the novel incredibly slow. ?

Don't get me wrong, the plot is moving. Every detail is setting up for it. And MC is piecing clues from everything.

It feels incredible to see the pieces coming together, even tho I keep wishing it was faster...

Anyway, just don't go in hoping for romance, or fast plot, and you'll be fine.

Even after 40 chapters, I can't even guess if ML has been mentioned or not. There's mentions of many Gods, Antinam is one of them, but he isn't God of Time and Fate!? As mentioned in the synopsis, so dunno. <<less

This particular author has a trait in their writing for me personally where despite finding their work intriguing and well written I find myself getting distracted and disengaged while reading. For now I have reached chapter 51 and no godhood or male lead have appeared so don't go into the book expecting either. But if you like supernatural mystery in a vaguely steampunk otherworldly setting you might like this book a lot.

if you've read lord of the mysteries you'd see the similarities in the narrative almost immediately but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing I really liked this novel so far and think it has great potential because of the author's ability to build the relationships between the different characters, unlike other novels that only pay attention to the main characters side of the story as for the romance I didn't reach that part yet ?. 4.5/5 recommended

The author was clearly more interested in writing the lore and World building rather than the story itself. There is so much telling which makes everything unexciting.

The only purpose of MC interacting with anything/ anyone is to drop the lore. MC constantly muses, ponders and thinks (guess about what? The lore). We don't actually know how he is feeling about his situation. Does he want to return? Is he scared/ angry/ excited?

I am genuinely puzzled how a secret society and interesting powers can come off so bland.

This is interesting but who is the ML ?? Recently almost of the stories I pick up turn out to be vegetarian or smth. It’s really good. Similar to LOTM but it’s not a bad thing or anything. It’s just I’m already like 50 chaps in and romance is non existent.
Spoiler

I’m guessing the ML is either the god of the past or the guy that isn’t a doctor but idk.?
