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». Collapse

    I would appreciate it if you would read this full note
    Warning - This is not a review - Spoilers ahead
    First of all, LOTM remains one of best in my book list, and believe me I have read books like Cradle by Will Wight, Sword of Kaigan by ML Wang, and others.
    Anyway I am writing this note not to express the greatness of this novel, but to put my Hypothesis and some other things mentioned by author regarding LOTM 2 and LOTM 3.
    First let's start with LOTM 2, now I know that most of you might have already read author's notes but I want to discuss them and add something more of my own.
    LOTM 2- will be mostly centerd around Tarot Club members and a new MC who might choose Hunter pathway (probably?).
    We will see growth of every Tarot Club member to at least sequence 1 or probably/hopefully to sequence 0.
    New MC will be mostly adventuring around the world (sea and land—mostly Eastern Continent), and through him we will get to learn more mysteries regarding—Original Creator, Western Continent, and Outer Deities.
    And now that Evernight goddess has access to her sefirot River of Eternal Darkness, we should except another above the sequence beyonder as 'She' has already accomodated the uniqueness of other two pathways (Death, Twilight Giant).
    Tarot Club members will be trying various methods to wake Klein from his slumber and we would also get to see Klein's dreams from time to time as 'He' fights against the remanent will of previous LOTM.
    And just like author said, Mother goddess of Depravity will be getting a mythical grade upgrade.
    And I think this might related to original creator, like 'she' got some part of 'his' 'body' or some kind of beyonder artefact related to Original creator.
    Although there is possibly of Ancient Sun God advancing to Above the sequence (not pseudo but true), I have a feeling that something unexpected might happen in the form of True/Fallen Creator.
    And hopefully we will get to see Melissa by the end as an angel or God of Fool Pathway succeeding her 'brother', I mean it should be possible for Klein to completely change her sequence (Paragon).
    This is it for LOTM 2, now onto LOTM 3.
    LOTM 3- will once again have Klein as it's main character or several others but hopefully not some entirely new MC.
    As author has mentioned LOTM 3 will mostly deal with Western Continent and Apocalypse.
    First let's talk about western continent.
    As author has mentioned, people there only have sequence pathways upto sequence 2 and unlike seven churches (8 now), western continent will have sect based system.
    Author's words: Western Continent will have Orthodox Sect system with the Sefirot as the core; And the Alternative/Demonic/Freelancer sect system that uses the 9 through 2 beyonder characteristics as the basics and foundation; And the Lower/Third Grade "Normie" Sect system who has to use a mixture of Sefirot and Beyonder Characteristics to level themselves.
    The Sefirot as Orthodox Sect is inspired by Daoism's concept of "Ordained", and created following that line of thinking. Mmmh, "Ordained" means if you are recognized by the "Heaven Palace" (Sefirot), you will become a part of this system, and you can happily summon "Servant God" to help you fight. For those who aren't ordained by a divine realm, when they want to summon "Servant Gods", why would these summons even give a f#ck about you? So this create a "class separation" between the ordained and the un-ordained. Those who are "ordained" are basically "within the political system" per se. After that, if I change the "Heavenly Palace" and "Sacred Land" in Cultivation genre into Sefirot. Tada ~ the whole setting of this cultivation-ish world becomes eerily mysterious and lively.
    It's kinda ironic that Western Continent will have sect based system and Eastern Continent has churches.
    Anyway, another mentioned by author is that people will not be using potions to advance. how? I don't know!
    As far as I can think, in LOTM 3 Klein might possibly accommodate another sefirot in which 'his' predecessor proved unsuccessful.
    But this is just a guess it might not happen.
    As for the Apocalypse, author hasn't discussed much about it, but we can guess how it will be to some extent.
    The Gods of Earth will fight against outer Gods.
    Important events that might happen-
    •Original creator's resurrection (probably in Mother Goddess of Depravity)
    •Another Above the sequence beyonder might rise
    •God's Dying on both sides.
    •God Almighty's resurrection (probably in True Creator/Adam)
    •AND, Klein finally getting a partner at the End (probably, Audrey or Amanises— I can't think of anyone other these two)
    And Probably, Benson's daughter becoming a beyonder blushed (just kidding middle )

      Good theory, but for beyonders like Alger they have a ceiling due to SEQ 0 existence, and I don’t think they’re gonna die out so easily.

      Melisa as an angel, Klein's companion, and the accommodation of another sefirot seems me as improbable because this isn't an XIO novel where everything happens exactly as the MC wishes.

      And Western continent will contain plenty of jades and young masters 🤣 😂

        While your point is correct and this is not some third rate Chinese novel with everything going according to MC's wishes but I still think that there is a chance of Klein accommodating more than 1 sefirot, why? Because 'his' predecessor, previous LOTM and God Almighty tried to and I don't think they would do something foolish that will result in their own death, so they must have a contingency plan otherwise LOTM wouldn't have sealed other 7 sefirot's in western continent, surely he was hoping that after reviving completely he will once again try to accommodate another sefirot but too bad, Evernight goddess f***ed his plans up.

          I don't think they choose to accommodate another sefiriot by choice because when the original creator/oldest one awoke, he created an embodiment of attraction that reaped some sefiriot and pathway characteristics from outer deities and attracted them to Earth to create a balance, and LOM, GA as embodiments of their pathway groups and different personalities of the original creator/oldest one that were on Earth at the time may be attracted to other sefiriot without their consent.

            Actually they did, during the First Epoch Both LOTM and God Almighty acquired additional sefirot but to the "Law of Convergence" 'they' were both attracted towards one another leading to the War In which both 'died'.
            As for why I believe that it's possible to accommodate another sefirot is because of Outer Deities, as 'they' came to earth to acquire additional sefirot or retain their lost characteristics.
            So, there is a possibility, but only a possibility.

      Sorry for being rude, but there are only two possibilities for that to happen. Either, you are f#cking blind, or you probably didn't read the story properly and just skimmed through it. Of course, it might just be that this story ain't ur cup of tea. But regardless, can you tell me the reason...? I really, really, REALLY love this novel so I can't help but feel pissed off when someone slanders it without reason. So, I would really like to know the reason why u think it sucks. But, if you actually said that without reason, then you would be offending many people, including the Author! AND I WOULD REALLY FUCKING HATE THAT! That's why... please tell me the reason you think it sucks.

        Holy f*ck; "hey, how are you?"
        "Oh, I'm fine what are y-"
        "In the hundred years ago names made a thing that made the era named names become really important because of thing. In that era named names there came to be the named big thing that is now one of the 4 named big things names of this era."
        "Oh... cool bro, eh-"
        "What happened eras ago? How did things go? Why did that happened? Who did that? Who is the leader of every single SECRET ORGANIZATION-wooooooooooow. -Proceeds to read another 2, 000 words of lore which no one asked for. Wow, I can't believe this person named with names found out that the other person named with names was the leader of a named big thing! In an era far away, woooooooooow."
        So, I can't stand pretentious bullshit, this is that.
        No progress in 100 chapter except for taking one potion? No problem with that, I can give it 100-400 chapters even if it's like that.
        Cuttlefish thinks you've known the MC for ages and are best buddies? No problem, I can ignore such blatant laziness.
        Hey, what's that? Oh! More lore out of nowhere when you don't even know the MC! Great! No problem, I can at least give it 100 chapters to know at least one of the multiple personalities that the author has granted him, each a borderline one.
        Oh, but... Unnecessary wannabe 'ancient' british customs? Oh boy, I'm the f*cking f*ck out.
        Besides not wanting to know how many f*cking sugar teaspoons of your f*cking mother the MC puts in his tea, coffee and his f*cking toilet, you also have to read about some ret*rded talk of not being gentlemanly because of training your body... HUH?! Guess what, it's not comedy, it is in f*cking seriousness! And that is only one example of, ooooh so many.
        I wrote about this before and I couldn't feel more right as I repeat myself; Slice of Life and Xuanhuan/Xiana/Supernatural are not to be mixed.
        The whole f*cking 101 chapters have been of pounds, soli and your motherf*cking coins, talking and talking and putting them into the front of your face in case you forget this is a british-based ambiance. Holy f*ck, just remembering those wannabe moments makes me cringe spiritually.
        Maybe don't base a story out of a couple of exaggerated movies you saw? Dunno, maybe advising is even worst than staying silent at this point.
        Unreadable.
        Many people talk about world-building and so on; I am like, why do we hear so much about a world we were JUST introduced to? Who do you expect to like being given endless text of things that happened BEFORE and before, and before; over, over and over and over and over and over again...?
        That is not world-building, that's just a different dump of information, and it maintains itself so for 100 chapters. All while the MC does just this ---> starts working for a church, starts working for a divination shop and drinks a potion.
        WOW, 'world building'. I'm dying to read more about what everyone THINKS happened before, eras before, in few hundred chapters more into the future. Oh! The thrill!
        If you can endure what I can not, then I guess I'd recommend you this novel. If not, save yourself the trouble, no need to be intimidated by this work having won one or two awards and from having 1k+ 5 stars.
        Only one thing I can write about this positively, it did that one almost real battle between Beyonders entertaining, and the writing method is decent.

    SO what now? I just finish it and like people said everything seem mediocre now. Even RI that I used to rate 9/10 is like 7 now. I used to think that MC traveling different world are amazing but now i learn that it is just a way that those author hide their incompetence in further exploring that world and creating better character development of side characters. Damn the second volume of this story happen in one single f#cking city, and he didn't even went everywhere on it, just the east side and yet the plot is so much better that other MC traveling different Cities, Countries, World and even f#cking higher Dimension.

    It seems Legendary Mechanic has almost same quality as this? maybe I'll try that.
    Pls share your opinion without spoiling Legendary Mechanics or other novel with almost same quality or else i'm going back playing those mobile game instead of wasting time reading boring novels.

      it depends on the story sometimes it is made extremls good but sometimes its as you said to hide their incompetence i personally think its more likely that those authors just dont want to work that hard ( i havent read it since it isnt for me but from what i get from the comments like yours gives me a rough idea about) so no it isnt 100%a sign of incompetence more like 30% incompetence 50% sloth 20% because other reasons
