The readers who liked the Mechanical Maze City would be more inclined to like solving puzzles with high IQ, because this novel focused more on the process of deciphering and the fun of thinking. Although this novel had some steampunk elements, it was not the main style. If you like high-IQ puzzle games and storylines, I strongly recommend I Cheated in the Escape Game and Lost in the Game. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah!
