I WILL DECLARE MY LOVE FOR THIS NOVEL SO LISTEN WELL... Personally, this is one of the best CN novel that i've ever read. I'm quite happy that this novel will be translated bcs all this time i mtl it myself, but at the same time not really happy bcs i caught up to raw and it's a long way from the current tl, i can't wait for too long... But anyway!! These things are the reason why this novel is so amazing: 1. WORLD BACKGROUND When i first read this novel, i thought it was like typical transmigration novel. You know.. fantasy world with magic and stuff. Well i'm not really wrong but the world background in this novel is very realistic. I think it's similar to post industrial revolution era in England, 1800s. Also it's a steampunk novel, so there are lots of historical machine and stuff. And the magic here isn't as omnipotent as i imagined it would be. Being an "extraordinary person" is not that powerful, there are serious danger and side effects, so people there aren't as OP as other novel. What i really love about this world background is how the author beautifully combined fantasy world and real life historical era in England. Like how people live and dress and adress each other at that time. The social class was very distinct and thoroughly explained. And how the other transmigrator before MC introduced the machinery to the world so it would start the steam and machinery era in that world. 2. CHARACTER DESIGN I LOVE TAROT! And i like how the author used 22 major arcana in tarot as identity at MC's "Tarot Club". And i realized the Tarot identity is closely or somehow related to the characters. Like MC's "The Fool", represent 'the beginning' in Tarot, and the first member of tarot club. And later in the story MC made fake identity "The World", represent 'the end' in Tarot, so that MC can trade for things openly in Tarot club without breaking The Fool's God like image. So in a sense, MC is 'the beginning and the end' in the story. And Audrey's "Justice" identity, represent fairness, is closely related to her sequence as "Audience" and how she should see things objectively. Because hey, Justice is a double-edge sword right? OK!! Maybe my description is a bit confusing, so i suggest to just read... I love how MC is smart, cautious, quite shameless, witty, and not OP! He has clear main goal, which is to go back to his world, but things happened...so stay tuned~ And the other side characters aren't just cannon fodder for MC, they have real and unique personalities, goals and ambitions. For me it's really great because i'm sick of reading novel that centered heavily around MC. And how other people has no means in the novel. AND I LOVE HOW THE VILLAINS AREN'T TOO STUPID! Tbh idk if i should be happy or worried with this lol. But yeah, some villains are really hard to predict. So this novel's characters always give me surprises. For old readers, you might get confused by the character's names here, some names might changed, like Emperor Roselle, in the old translation and mtl, we read it as "Russell". But it's not really a big deal. 3. STORY DEVELOPMENT I think this story is a slow paced one. And the story gets deeper and more complicated late in the novel. MC is not suddenly become OP nor has a great knowledge to use his goldfinger. MC can barely use and understand 'the world above the fog' at first. He learned things bit by bit. And the plot is always a surprise, Especially in Volume 1 (1ch until 200+ch i forgot) i cannot really tell who's the friend and the foe. Leveling up in this novel is very long, so don't expect MC to level up in just dozens of chapter bcs i read more than 500+ chapters but he's still a.... Ok i'm not gonna spoil you now hehe.. Overall, for those fantasy, mystery and thriller lover, this is a perfect choice for you. Don't be discourage bcs of the Steampunk theme bcs it's not the main point in this story. This novel is full of adventure and mystery, it's like "Sherlock Holmes fantasy style" novel.

First of all Mister, can you tell me which specific sentence in my review that "said anything against novels with op protagonist"? Because i recall i never wrote something like that. And until now i still don't understand what makes you so upset about this review. Me saying "I like novels without OP MC" doesn't mean that i'm against novels with OP MC, it's just my preference and everyone have different preferences. So if u like OP MC then go ahead, it's the same for me. Idk why it's so hard for you to understand that.

(Unfortunate author here, why is listed below Stats.) Website : qidian china Views : 53.49million Rating : 9.2(1629) Chapters : 563 Status : ongoing Rank : 4 Word count : 1.79million author level : platinum No of works : 6 Disscussion : 24871 Year started : 2018 Chinese title : 诡秘之主 At last it's here. Damn I've waiting far too long for this novel because of three reasons : 1. It's the book by my favorite author. 2. It's the best work from my favorite author. 3. It's really so fucking popular right now in China. (just look at the rank and views with only 563 chapters) But he really is an unfortunate author in this site. Reasons listed below. Three of his works are translated here. 1. Martial arts master : one of the best books with romance and action. This is actually my favorite romance novel. And martial arts fights are really sooo awesome in this book. But the reason for this not to be in rankings or popular bcoz one translation is ****, two no updates since atleast 2 months. Even with **** translation it was in rankings sometimes. 2. Throne of magical arcana : This is really one of the best webnovels with western magic elements with elements of science in it. It's basically epic magic, science and church novel. Translation too is really good for this novel but translator updates only 3 to 4 days a week which is also the reason it's not in rankings imo. 3. The sage who transcended the samsara : I wanted to try this. I really really wanted to try this. But it's said to have a very ****ty translation. People say it's a very unique and good novel, they also say translation is **** and end up dropping it. Now I'm really really happy because not only is this epic getting translated, it's getting translated by cktalon one the best translators out there. I only request one thing with you. Please keep the releases stable and I really thank you for taking up the translation for this novel. 🙏

This is a story that the author spent months researching. Set in the Victorian era, the author strives to make it an epic masterpiece. Actual factual tidbits from the real world are weaved into this steampunk world. There is rich world building with characters and their personalities fleshed out perfectly. However... Maybe it's best not to get too tied to the characters... The development of the mystical elements are very well planned, with 220 classes. Imagine the richness that will bring! Many things are foreshadowed in this story, so look out for that! As translator, I will try to make sure the release rates are high.

After 8 chapters, Others MC is killing chickens outside novice village. Our MC just finished his put on airs to pretend as an ancient god And after 800 chapters, Others MC is fighting the gods among gods and every punch he does can shatter suns and rend the void in the heavens. What about us? Our MC is... using a mushroom to threaten his glove... and getting in a staring contest with a dog.... That’s why I love the novel

I've read up to chapter 23. Is one of the Cuttlefish Who Loves Diving Deep's newest series. He is the creator of Throne of Magical Arcana, Martial Arts Master, and The Sage Who Transcended Samsara, all of which are currently on this website. Out of the other series he has written, this one is most like Throne of Magical Arcana. The genres for this series are horror, suspense, mystery, steampunk in a Victorian setting, and supernatural/fantasy. 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. Even though everything is still quite a mystery at this point, the suspense is enough to put me on the edge of my seat and keep me there. I am looking forward to the cases the MC will be investigating, and I am absolutely delighted Webnovel finally picked up this treat of a series.

I was interested in this novel when I read the reviews. To be honest, I made several attempts to start reading this novel. But I assure you, if you overcome this, you will look forward to every chapter. At the moment I rate it as 5/5. The author has created an interesting world and characters. I advise you to get acquainted with this work.

Void Evolution System

5 years ago, Earth was subject to an event now known as the “World Awakening”. At that time, the world completely changed. Mana awakened in the world, gates began opening, and a holographic screen showed up in front of the eyes of every human that outlined their “status”. Each individual was given a talent to start with, ranging from simple abilities like enhanced eyesight to insane fantasy stuff like pyrokinesis. And within this myriad of abilities, Damien awakened a spatial affinity with the skill “short-distance teleportation”. At first, he was excited, thinking about intense battles and gaining great power, but the reality was quick to shoot him down. His ability only worked in the area 10 meters around himself, and his physical stats were insanely weak, leaving him tired after using his ability a couple of times. Disillusioned by his weakness, Damien lived a quiet life doing anything he could to meet ends meet, until one day, everything changed. Damien was betrayed and thrown into a gate, left to fend for himself in a labyrinth of beasts. Something snapped in him that day. He refused to stay weak and keep his head down any longer. When he emerged from the darkness, he found himself in a new world with no idea how to return to earth. However, he wasn’t the same kid he was when he first fell. ===== Discord: https://discord.gg/sEfafFXazb ===== Cover by Lia.Audelia

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack.  There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree.  “Let the war begin.”
