After the first series conclusion, or before entering the multi hundred hour audio commitment. Is it worth it?
The novel was serialized by Cuttlefish, that loves diving on Qidian, from April 2018 to May 2020.
The finished work runs to one thousand three hundred and ninety-four main chapters plus thirty-six extra chapters across two side stories.
One thousand four hundred and thirty chapters in total, split into eight volumes: Clown, Faceless, Traveler, Undying, Red Priest, Lightseeker, The Hanged Man, and Fool.
Each title names the persona or phase its protagonist is living through, which tells you early on how much of this book is about who its main character is pretending to be.
The premise sounds like standard transmigration fiction at first.
Zhu Mingrui wakes up in the body of Klein Moretti, a history graduate in an alternate Victorian-era steampunk world full of secret organizations, arcane powers, and eldritch forces.
He doesn't arrive gently.
The story opens with Klein having shot himself in the head, and the central mystery covers both how he died and the larger forces shaping the world's supernatural order.
What follows isn't a power fantasy.
It's a detective story, then a survival horror, then eventually a cosmic epic.
