Magic Mirror

I am just a dog.

Worldbuilding (10/10): One of the most immersive settings in web fiction. The lore is dense, with secret organizations, hidden histories, and mystical forces structured around tarot cards and "potions."

Plot (9/10): Slow at first, but every detail matters. It evolves from a detective-style story into something vast and cosmic. Foreshadowing is masterfully done - what seems minor early on can become crucial hundreds of chapters later.

Protagonist - Klein Moretti: A rational, clever, and likable character. You root for him not just because he's the MC, but because of how well he grows from a regular man into a true "mystery" himself.

Power System (10/10): Unique "Beyonder Pathways" based on potions and rituals. Every power comes at a cost. It's risky, layered, and makes every advancement feel earned.

Tone and Themes: Gothic, mysterious, and often philosophical. If you like the vibes of Sherlock Holmes, Lovecraft, or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, you'll feel at home.

You know sometimes you just need to add some slice of life in the midst of action and fighting to balance things out. Unlike that certain leveling that showed just actions and nothing else for the sake of viewers . And what are y'all complaining about this show not being understandable at all. It literally shows at the start what the power system is and in between the episode about the information you need to know about the world. Also this is one of the best fictions and one of the best written plots in the history. The animation quality that the producing studio has brought us is just next to insane! This is probably one of the best adaptations of a novel so far. Praise The Lady!

It's honestly frustrating how some people immediately jump to leave a 1-star review without even giving the story a proper chance. Thirty minutes after release, and somehow they've already "decided" it's bad? Come on. This isn't constructive criticism, it's blatant sabotage!

If you genuinely have issues with the story, that's fair, but at least watch it before judging. This kind of trolling ruins the experience for new viewers who are excited to dive into something new.

Stop the hate folks. Respect the work. Give it time. Real fans anime/donghwa know the value of patience. Its slow burn for a reason.

Side note: Melissa looks so cutee, don't worry about Klein tho he's not a pedo 😅

The episodes have been getting better and better as the series goes on. The pacing has been slowing down and covering more information as well. It's genuinely nice to see as a lord of the mysteries fan who has been reading it since like last year and I'm still on volume 3 because I'm just too busy writing my own novel inspired by it. I actually cannot wait for the last episode and cry once again. Or even the other volume endings.

But these haters bro, they're crying that lotm is doing very well womp womp cry about it, the rating doesnt even matter anyway. And the fact that the other episode are still above 9.0 is laughable. Do better lol.

Lord of the mysteries is the perfect and the greatest novel I ever read in my life. The donghua adaptation is also very best. It's the peak of a peak story I ever read. The amount of details, information, the storybuilding, the power level, the main character, the side characters, their building, the concept all the story is peak. Sometimes I think of it really is written by a human hand, trust me oncetoy read both books you'll think so too. Fir me it's an emotion I could never let go of.

It was just review bombed from 9.6 to lower 9.1 it is a complete 10/10 please anyone who sees a 1 star review bombing , you should report it.
