Señor de los Misterios

Lord of the Mysteries is a story that I, sometimes think, if really written by human hands, because it's godly. It's the best piece of art mankind could ever create. The story is profound and otherworldly, unlike the other best one I have seen so far. For me it's an emotion I could never let go of. It found me and collected me, yet shattered me .Some people think that Vol 1 is a slow take, sometimes they find it boring, but mark my words, once you read both books , this very volume will become so precious to you that you will read it again and again and cry and be filled with emotions, for its where everything started and its where Klein was the happiest. I truly feel so honored that I've read this masterpiece of fiction and I feel so chosen when I find people who had not read it and are curious abut LOTM. I hope the people who are looking for a story and emotions like this, find this. Best of luck to the newbies, hope you recover after this.

The animation is amazing; all of the character designs look lovely, and the plot is progressing beautifully. Of course, the story is amazing. The mix of the art style and story is nothing like you've ever seen before.

The soundtracks and sound effects are equally impressive, enhancing the immersive experience.

This thrilling supernatural steampunk mystery starts a bit slow in order to fully develop the world, but then it dives deeply into mystery and supernatural elements.

Overall: The series wastes no time in pulling viewers into its shadowy steampunk world. Thanks to a unique blend of "one shot & full animation" techniques, the donghua maintains a fluid, movie-like quality throughout each episode. It's a bold stylistic choice that elevates the storytelling and reinforces its moody, atmospheric tone.

Wow! This is one of the best shows I have watched in recent years. What a beautifully crafted world. The production is insane. I have been hearing this about Lord of the Mysteries from novel readers for awhile. I thought they were glazing it too much. But nope. The glaze is 100% deserved. The story is a mystery with soulslike fantasy element. Our main character isn't someone pervert or idiot like a random isekai mc. He is smart and actually thinks before acting and has his own conflicts as well. Also side characters are good too. I am at episode 8 right now. The power system is one of the most well thought. And not to talk about the music itself. Its perfect for the shows setting. World is vast and beautiful Victorian steampunk era looks amazingly as it could be. First 2 episodes were but fast but the director said the issue would be fixed by episode 4 which they did. I dont get why people are so confused about the show. Like wtf? As a donghua only myself who doesnt watch any other extra content and understand it pretty much. Just read the subtitles. Also the hate is just unnecessary and undeserved. Don't listen to the 1/10 reviews. They are just newly created bot accounts for review bombing. Seriously people watch it. Its amazing and will be even better in the later part. Its seems confusing? Its a mystery so what do you expect. Some people judge it by only 2 episodes? Hilarious. Man the Patience and attention span of modern audience. Sigh. Did people forget about Steins; Gate and how confusing it was? But Steins;Gate became one one of the best of all time. LOTM is in the same category too. Don't judge too fast people or you will be missing a amazing fiction.

I haven't read the novels. I've only just started watching the anime. Although the barrier to entry to the series seems quite high, the exposition gets better with each episode. And I have to admit I'm truly blown away by how it's executed audiovisually. Honestly, I haven't seen anything so hypnotic in ages. The people responsible for it are true artists.

I haven't read the novel; this is just a review from someone who only watched the adaptation. The show gave me more than I expected-thrill, action, drama, and of course, mystery. It's not your typical isekai anime, but rather a world of complexity built in an outstanding way. There are dramatic and pivotal moments in the final episodes, and pure enjoyment throughout the entire series.

Of course, there might be flaws-some of which I don't agree with, like the excessive use of CGI, the Chinese language being considered bad, or that for those who read the novel, the pacing felt too fast. However, what I do agree with in terms of criticism is that the series is complicated at the beginning and requires the viewer to pay close attention.

Overall, the rating for this season (Season 1) is 9/10.
