One of the most popular is 'The Anubis Gates' by Tim Powers. It combines elements of time travel and steampunk in a really cool way. The story is full of mystery and adventure.
There are a few steampunk novels that I can recommend. The first book was Extraordinary Dawn, written by a plagiarist. This novel told the story of the main character, Thulhu Botelli, who had transmigrated to a steampunk world. He used the system to add points to accumulate power to face the arrival of the Dawn of the Gods. The second book was " The Age of Steam 1886 " by Sasaki. This novel described an era where science and technology flourished. Humans began to conquer nature, and at the same time, there was a hidden dark world that ordinary people could not understand. The third book was Lord of the Mysteries, written by Squid Who Loves to Dive. This novel was a steampunk + Cthulhu theme. It told the story of the protagonist's soul transmigrating into the world of supernatural powers and steampunk, revealing the secret behind supernatural powers by investigating the suicide. These novels had unique technological creativity and a slightly dark and decadent worldview, suitable for readers who liked steampunk.
In the bustling city of Brasshaven, gears and steam powered everything. Young inventor, Ada, had a plan to create a flying machine. She scavenged parts from the junkyards filled with rusty cogs and old boilers. One day, while tinkering in her small workshop, she finally assembled the wings. With a burst of steam, her flying contraption lifted off. It soared above the city's smoky rooftops. People gasped in amazement as Ada's creation flew among the airships that carried goods and passengers. Her success inspired other inventors, and Brasshaven became known as the city of innovation in the steampunk world.
Lord of the Mysteries was a steampunk novel.
Steampunk was a genre of science fiction. It was based on the science and technology of the industrial revolution era. It combined fantasy, magic, and other elements to build an artificial world full of steam-powered machinery and mysterious forces. Lord of the Mysteries was set in a world similar to 19th-century Europe, but there were supernatural powers and mysterious organizations such as the Tarot Club and secret organizations. These elements were in line with the characteristics of steampunk.

Steampunk fiction is a genre that combines elements of science fiction and the Victorian era. It often features steam-powered technology, mechanical contraptions, and alternate histories.
Steampunk back stories are essential for character development. Consider a character who has a back story of being an escaped experiment from a mad scientist's laboratory. This instantly gives the character a motivation, a past full of mystery and a set of skills or abilities related to the experiment. All these aspects from the back story then feed into the character's actions and interactions within the Steampunk genre, making the overall genre more engaging and believable.
