My thoughts as a novel reader
Yeah, they skipped many things.
However, these things aren't important (klein eating, spending 3 chapters to buy his cane, 3 chapters to buy his house).
Its a premier, so it need to be entertaining.
They did a really good job about the pacing.
If you don't understand anything, don't worry, it was the same, maybe even worse, for us reader.
The animation is really, really good. I think I never saw that before. There is alot of details, in the flowers, for exemple. The song, especially the ending, are incredible too.
As a reader, it's clearly not a disappointment, and I didn't think the animation would be this good.
10/10.

MYSTERIOUS, JUST LIKE THE NAME GOES 🔥🔥🔥
I've been hearing about this story and it's anime/Donghua coming out soon on Twitter , and I was like, we definitely have a look and my God episode didn't disappoint at all. I am a Donghua only soo I can't speak about stuff that were or were not included from the novel, but after epsidoe 1 I will say this, this Donghua is destined for greatness. The mystery, the darkness vibe, horror like vibe, the animation, how fluid it looks, the ost's all top tier
The first part of episode 1 was okay but the 2nd half brought the heat, Dunn Smith and Co joing the party had me on my feet, I couldn't wait to come write a review,I be off soon to finish episode 2 and then start playing the waiting game.
For everyone out there who wants to watch this series, don't just agree with what others say about it, be it negative or positive, check this series out yourself and judge, for me it's been amazing soo far, the mystery and dark vibe story is it selling point right now and it has delivered soo far. IF YOU READ THIS REVIEW YOU GITTA CHECK OUT THE LORD OF MYSTERIES.

First Two Episodes - Amazing
TL:DR - Beautiful, but requires your full attention right off the bat.
Alright, it's a great visual experience; the visuals are dazzlingly beautiful.
The transmigration, gray fog, nighthawk introduction, psychic test, ravings and everything else is animated superbly.
I had some doubts regarding the pacing, which is alleviated slightly now that I've watched the first 2 episodes, but it's likely too fast for most anime-onlys. Make sure you read subs if you want to understand!
I feel as though they put less emphasis on the situation Klein found himself in. Just a brief mention of a problem at hand to which any normal person, including Klein in the source material, has some more thoughts to share on. Especially the fast-spoken chinese dub, which is admittedly the best chinese dub I've ever come across, still a bit fast though.
Speaking of the dubs, a non-simultaneous release of other languages may really hurt the series, alongside the poor Crunchyroll marketing and both episodes being premium-only.
That's about the only critique I could come up with, yeah it's really good. The chinese voice acting itself sounds very good, directing is amazing, soundtrack is godlike and we can already catch glimpses of The Fool's aura.
It's a very promising exposition with transcendent potential, hence my high rating, which could still vary if I find more striking issues. Very recommendable.

review from someone who only watched the adaptation
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.

If you're looking for a generic shonen/isekai that takes your mind off things, this isn't it. An incredible and complex series!
Review of the anime based on the novel "The Lord of Mysteries."
This is truly the anime of the year. Better than "Solo Leveling," better than "To Be Hero X," better than "Takopi's Original Sin," which for me are the other three best series of the year.
Knowing beforehand that the animation was 30,000 frames per episode when "Solo Leveling," for example, had reached just over 10,000, it was a visual guarantee.
However, as someone unfamiliar with this world, I can't help but express my surprise and dismay upon watching the series.
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that you don't understand anything in the first episodes! It's a whole new world, its construction, its laws, everything; it's very difficult to follow this world-building. But once we're inside, I think it's safe to say this construction has never been seen before, or at least I could compare it to Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings, and that's saying something. But I can't think of any other comparison when I see this complexity.
Is it an isekai? Yes, it seems like it is, with hints of cosmic horror at times. But its rules are completely invented, and the power scales with the sequences and their levels are insane.
As for the plot, each episode is better than the last and a visual and narrative gem.
It's an anime where deaths are felt and no one is safe at any moment, whether due to madness or being murdered by someone.
I mean, even in the last episode, you might think everything is final.
There are a thousand things I haven't understood, and I suppose they'll be explained in later seasons... apparently, we'll have to wait, and that's the downside of it all.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in watching something that isn't lighthearted and can even be repellent in its original language. Aside from that, it's one of the season's gems.
