By far one of my favorite stories on this app that I won’t have any problem listening to over and over again. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. I’m also extremely happy that they decided to create the animation for this. I absolutely love the style of animation. However I wish that it wasn’t rushed so much. Also,I’m so accustomed with the narrator here that I don’t think anyone else can compare. That’s just my opinion though. 🥰🥰🥰

I can't wait for more! I love the storyline and details. The sound effects are great along with the story tellers voice gives the perfect ambiance... honestly, I would love to get a hold of a hard copy so I can finish the story. I'm committed and anxiously awaiting more.

the story is mostly there but a lot and I do mean a LOT is just missing and or changed and i'm only on the first 30 chapters. the first big thing to be changed was hornacis flegrea specifically the word flegrea, the second big change is the way the gray fog space functions. the reason why this is a problem is because it opens so many plot holes and inconsistencies in the story. all this is to say i do not recommend this novel, at least not from this app.

I adore Lord of the Mysteries by Cuttelfish that loves Diving (the original Chinese author, that I didn’t see mentionned in the crédits?). So I was excited for this audiobook and adaptation of one of my favorites… and I have to say the narrator is utterly fantastic, as are the sound effects… however, the 3 stars for the story are because: I do not understand the point of changing the original name of Xou Mingrui to « Cade », so as to make him… English? American?!The original character is Chinese and that is actually pretty important, as it greatly impacts Klein’s journey later on. Also, it makes no sense that, in a society that widely studies anciens languages… no one managed to decipher the english language - it is not that hard and people in the Universe obsess over Gustav… It made a lot more sense when it was Chinese, however. There are many such changes which just seem strange and a bit problematic to me… I wonder if the Author agreed to all of them…

The audio quality is practically on par with a graphic audio and the story is enthralling. I love relistening as much as I enjoy rereading James Butcher novels or Harry Potter.

Very different from most books on here but truly one of the best! Any issues were minor and directly related to what a certain character was doing. Perfectly natural and normal to get so invested in such a solid story. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Would absolutely read more from this author.

best narration out of any series here on this app. The world building of this story is awesome and the story is not an over powered MC and strategy actually matters.
What Makes the World of Lord of Mysteries Unique?
The world of **Lord of Mysteries** presents a unique blend of Victorian gothic aesthetics and deeply unsettling cosmic horror. Beneath the surface of a society celebrating industrial progress lies a secret world of 'Beyonders'—individuals who gain supernatural powers by consuming dangerous potions. This power comes at a great cost, as failing to master it can lead to madness or transformation into a grotesque monster.
The power structure is built around a complex Sequence system of 22 distinct pathways to godhood, each with its own theme and set of abilities. From divination and spiritual vision to more terrifying powers, the system functions like a dark, esoteric puzzle. This creates a constant tension where every step toward greater power is also a step closer to a horrifying abyss.
Who Are the Main Factions in Lord of Mysteries?
At the start of his journey, Klein Moretti becomes entangled with two primary groups that define his new life. Desperate for a job that can help him understand the supernatural, he joins the Nighthawks. This secret unit of the Church of the Evernight Goddess operates as a supernatural police force, hunting monsters and securing cursed artifacts to protect the public from the horrors they cannot comprehend.
At the same time, Klein uses his dream-world sanctuary to establish the Tarot Club. He gathers a small, select group of individuals, appearing to them as the enigmatic and powerful leader 'The Fool'. This creates a gripping dual identity for Klein: a low-level consultant by day and a seemingly omniscient, godlike figure in a secret society by night.
