I was just randomly trying not so popular books, but this really is a gem. The writing style is very good and fits with the theme and world. It combines many of my favorite tropes while bringing all the good parts of these tropes to the foreground. Mystery, magic, cultivation, it has it all without being convoluted. And above all, I don't feel like I am reading a story for braindead people, like most novels on WN.

In the era of system and VR (In WN), It’s rare to stumble upon books that have something fresh to offer with a new plot. Secret Society is a novel that focuses on crime, thriller and mystery with comedy and romance as side dishes. *Cough* I have read it while it was still in beta form but reading it in WN gives a different emotion. So, here is a thorough review from what I have read and what you can expect. Writing Quality: It won't be a lie if I say, I am jelly jelly of the author for having a strong and mesmerizing writing style. In every chapter of Secret society (SecSy), you can see the dedication and effort put into them. A solid 5/5. Stability of updates: 1 chapter a day at the very least. I mean as long as the author doesn’t slack off, We can expect a nice update rate, muhahahaha. Story Development: Ayo, do you even need to ask? Up to where I have read, and of course from what I know, the story is going to get only better. Character Design: Both of the MCs, Xavier and Eulene(Yue Lin) are well-designed characters. For me, Yue Lin is relatable character at some point, *cough*, but of course, she is so much better. You will grow to love every character, even if they appear for a bit. World Background: This is a steampunk novel, aka, Victorian Setting. So, the dressing, food, lifestyle, education, rules and such shows resemblance to that period. For me, it was first time trying out a novel of this genre, and I must say, I am SUPER GLAD that I decided to read it. Cover: Welp, I have no qualms about it. I love it! Conclusion: Thank you for reading my rant without getting bored. So, if you decided to read till here, why don't you give this a read? Who knows what awaits you. *wink wink*

What’s better than one OP MC? Two OP MCs! This story is set in a civilised Victorian setting, with established laws and enforcement. So despite the OPness, they will rarely use them in battles. But fret not, there’s one field where they can show their OPness off even without shedding blood or pulverising cities, and that is- unraveling mysteries. With Xavier’s honed intelligence and mastery over all elements, along with Yue Lin’s extraordinary vision that can see what the others cannot, they will solve cases deemed impossible by others. But are they heroes? Yes, to some. Villains? Again- yes, to some. They are Chaotic Neutral Aligned- caring little about the laws. But they will not shirk away from using the laws for their own needs. As for action, they will be scattered throughout the series. Both of the MCs are old and wise enough to not throw themselves at every unnecessary conflict they find. And I won’t throw arrogant young masters against them just for some unnecessary action scenes and face slapping moments. All of the battles in the series will serve a purpose, with every move taking the story forward. H.a.r.e.m? Nope, not in a million years. Romance? Maybe. I will let the characters write themselves. If they can hit it off, they will. Of course, I will give some external push. Note: This is a work of pure fantasy. So turn your brains off and enjoy… Bull! To take the most out of the story, use 100% of your cerebral capacity. Serious Note: The story will become darker as it progresses. Steady your heart and mind. That’s it for this author’s shameless review. Stay tuned! Enjoy!
