Reviews for Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Completed Vol 6 Dreamweaver, 1034 chapters before writing review. Contains spoilers for LOTM. Well there couldn't be better time to write this review as end of Dreamweaver. Coming from guy who wrote LOTM, I don't think I need to write more about COI. But there might be people out there who want end this journey on LOTM. Well well well, they couldn't be more wrong. Circle of inevitability or COI for short doesn't do anything to disgrace its own masterpiece predecessor. Story(10/10) : Story starts 6 years after ending of first book, Klein goes into slumber releasing all transmigrators into the world. World is getting closerto apocalypse and sequence advancement is getting faster. In such world, in rural province of Intis, while enjoying peaceful life protagonist Lumian Lee comes across supernatural phenomenon eventually solving and joining as Minor arcana of Tarot Clubs. Well story same as LOTM starts too much slow, but once pace is picked up and world is further explored story go on to rival its predecessor.

Main Cast(8/10) : Well If I have to compare Lumian as a better MC and Klein as MC, I would choose Lumian. Lumian starts of as prankster kid embodiment of pathway he has chosen, It was more fun to read him and his monologues. But here other characters which kind of can be considered as main cast gets sidetracked easily and comes out as one dimensional and sometimes downright useless.

Side cast(8/10) : The cast of characters original to COI is good but If you were waiting for more of Tarot Club you are going to be disappointed. Mostly use of Tarot club Members is to appear as a Cameo and give that occasional nostalgia factor.

Worldbuilding and setting(10/10) : well all of the countries and seas that were mentioned name only LOTM finally got their share of screentime. Well history of the world still remains at big but most of Fourth Epoch history gets covered.

Power system : New power systems introduced is as per need and well executed still exploring previous ones and not powercreeping those.

Amon and Adam (100/10) : Enough Amon And Adam screentime couldn't ask for more.

As conclusion, if you love world of LOTM just read it. Don't think as direct continuation of Klein's story, its direct continuation of World's (still not Klein ) story and it will be one of the best series out there.

"Captain, do you see this? We are protecting this world." - Story ★★★★★ - Direct continuation of LOTM, and starts in the same style as the previous slow progress, and then speeds up. - Character ★★★★★ - Some may hate that the previous MC didn't return in this one, but it makes sense for the story to not remain the same, our cast of characters is already gigantic, introducing a few more is no problem, but as the work progresses this can become complicated, even the author himself complained about it XD. In the end, I enjoyed the developments and have no complaints about it. - Enjoyment ★★★★☆ - The reasonI removed 0.5, was more of a personal thing, at the beginning of Cuttlefish's works it's almost certain to have a slow start and then it speeds up, what broke me a bit was going back to that slow start in some volumes, making the reading "boring", of course this is due to the difficulty of the writing and who to focus on, even though we have several characters to use, the problem is who to use and sometimes the quantity can compromise the quality and this happened at certain moments of the work in my opinion.

-

General ★★★★☆ & 9.5/10 - I liked the ending, of course for me it could have been better but I also have nothing to complain about how the work was closed, and I also think it would be very difficult to release a third book, the author himself thought of telling about the "other side" to keep it spoiler free as much as possible, I hope that one day he comes to gift us with this story or even tell the story of another time I would also find it interesting! Otherwise, see you around <3.

The story is already finished. When will mods update this? When will they uodate the status of this book as it already has been months since it concluded. Mods pls do something about this. More words so I can publish this review. The story is amazing with a really good ending. Not the best bit atleast it didnt ruin anything. How much more are 105 words god damn. Mods you can also check the first book cause it also is finished but you have added it here as if it only has 330 ch when in reality it has 1400~

(Short review) This is not going to be a proper review of the novel as I've actually not read it all the way and I've mostly forgotten the story of Book 1 so I'm going to re-read that first But... The reason I'm reviewing this is because of its low rating here on myanimelist. I've read the volume 1 of this book and so far, the writing is definitely better than in the first book. Although, I still think Klein is the better main character because of his realism and by realism, I mean him being cautious and his thoughts resembling more like a real person's andnot some cliche animanga character.

Story:

The story so far is better than the volume 1 of the 1st book but still has some flaws. The writing is definitely better. I do not think there is any reason to hate it as it is still better than most of the 8.5+ rated novels on this very site.

Setting:

The setting is not better than the first book in my opinion. We start off in a village which is fine and with the little touch of french, it really feels like a foreign land but the underground concept is not to my liking. Might get better when I read more.

Power system:

One thing I do hate so far is the dual pathway thing, we haven't really gotten much focus on other pathways except for Seer and Hunter. There are characters close to the main characters that have different pathways but they are not focused much. I would have loved if there was more focus on other pathways instead of introducing dual pathways.

Overall:

Overall, while not being better than the first book, it is still a 10/10
