Lord of the Mysteries: A Poor Man's Rise

God of Poverty Sequence: Sequence 9: Moonlight Clan, Sequence 8: Unemployed Sequence 7: The Poor Sequence 6: Beggar Sequence 5: Loser Sequence 4: The Messenger of Adversity, Ritual: Bringing a city a financial predicament. Sequence 3: The embodiment of hunger and cold; Ritual: to push people's living standards below the poverty line.

The plot felt a bit contrived. Since the protagonist isn't a time traveler, the connection to the story wasn't very strong. Also, the protagonist's parents are supposed to be powerful figures, but it all feels like hindsight. The plot, especially regarding Tingen, doesn't really feel like the protagonist has powerful backing. If it weren't for the protagonist being the main character, I feel like he would have died several times over.

Hunter dad + witch mom? That's some serious strategy. The hunter has three Sequence 2s, and his dad can only manage a maximum of Sequence 3. Are we going to have a hot pot party later? 🙂

The so-called "poor man's path" probably looks something like this (borrowed from the book club next door that's doing the imperial examinations in Lord of Mysteries).

First of all, I think attitude is very important. The content of the book is one thing, the typos are another. This book has typos??? Isn't the Hanged Man's name Alger? Why is it always Alger? The newly added faction, Silent Hill, felt jarring and lacked any sense of immersion; various plot points were inexplicable.

The pacing felt too fast, making it tiring to read. I prefer a more gradual, balanced approach, or perhaps an invincible protagonist who's only at Sequence 9 or Sequence 8 yet already dealing with demigods and angels, with events happening one after another without any respite. The protagonist is constantly in a tense and dangerous environment, which becomes tiring to read after a while.

Doesn't anyone question the logic that Zhou Mingrui has already "held two Tarot sessions, learned about Justice and The Hanged Man, and knows the audience sequence" in just one day?

The fact that the protagonist's mother made him solve the notebook incident on his own indicates that the protagonist has some extraordinary common sense and abilities. Then, he turns around and helps a strange girl... Also, the protagonist is involved in a mysterious incident, and none of his family members help him; they are all American police officers.

Is it something like this?

From the very beginning, I was thinking, the synopsis sounds impressive, but with this family background, you're saying he's poor?
