I've never been a fan of this author but since LOTM is such a favorite of mine i figured this might be a good read too. Sadly this was not the case, in fact the comparison only makes the flaws even more glaringly obvious. The saying "show don't tell" describes why this novel feels so dull, nothing is ever shown only told. The world is called steampunk instead of it being shown through technology, culture or architecture. The characters have personalities that are told to the reader and never showed through their actions. Everything follows this trend. For me the most disappointing part is the system, it invalidates the mystery and intrigues of the supernatural and turns it into a hack and slash adventure. Sadly this not another LOTM, it's a litrpg power fantasy written by a mediocre author set in a decent world.
