Lord of the Mysteries: The White Tower

Below is the author's own summary of pitfalls and potential issues to avoid in the full text. New readers are advised to read this before reading the main story. Considering that new readers have valuable time, and the pace of this story is relatively slow, wasting a lot of time reading a work that doesn't suit your taste would be very frustrating.

The writing is passable, but there are almost no truly satisfying moments. Instead, it feels somewhat detrimental to the plot and the riddle-like narrative. The "golden finger" (advanced ability/cheat code) hasn't been clearly explained even after dozens of chapters.

(Up to Chapter 30, minor spoilers!!) Summary: A potentially good supernatural/mysterious novel with no major flaws. The writing is good. The protagonist's identity as a high-ranking police officer in Rembrandt and a reader in Sequence Seven is interesting. The plot begins with the protagonist's anti-pickpocketing conversation with a thief in a waiting room, which is quite engaging.

I wasn't going to comment, but most fanfiction these days goes way too far with overpowered abilities, completely ruining the atmosphere of the original work. So, it's probably better if the protagonist's abilities are a bit weaker; at least it's less jarring. The pacing could definitely be faster, getting into the original timeline sooner. But so far, it's still pretty interesting.

Look at Ji Yueren Squid stands there like a Buddha Those who are just hyped up are practically slapped to death by the Chicken Heavenly Venerable Then look at 🦑, some people even use fanfiction to pay for their first home purchase Damn, Squid is just too kind.

I tried my best to tolerate the fact that Chapter 28 was too clichéd, and that I was beaten up like that by an ordinary person in the beginning, and then you give me a Guardian with good fighting ability and weapons. My God, do you have to be so disgusting?

The part where he was beaten was truly the end of history. The only ones who could finish watching that part were, as the Red History King said.

There's no need to drag things out like this in the early stages. Even though he's Sequence 7, he can't beat an angry ordinary person.

What's the point of having such a huge power-up? Is such a high sequence advancement meaningful? Not every novel needs to reach the ancient era. Little K's power-up is already ridiculously overpowered; if you want to surpass him, would the novel even be readable? Not every well-written protagonist has to be incredibly powerful; that's just forced showing off.

The protagonist appears to be rational and calm, but in reality, he is careless and unrestrained in his actions, even to the point of being "arrogant." He not only gets involved in a lot of boring and trivial matters, but his logical narration is also fragmented and lacks a clear main plot. He always does things that are completely unnecessary and have risks that outweigh the rewards.
