(Whether that's good or bad is up to you) In my opinion, this is a good thing because as I read other reviews, it seems like people are trying too hard to compare this novel to his previous one, which results in some bias rather than taking this novel as it is. To put this review in perspective, this is coming from someone who hasn't yet read the previous works from Cuttlefish. Ultimately I think they're two different types of stories of similar quality (at least for mow) by the same author and both are worth a read if you haven't picked them up already. I think looking at it just from where Lord of the Mysteries was at this point, be it 200ish chapters in, or in the middle of volume 3 Embers Ad Infinium is every bit as strong overall, and it might even better in some ways. more> way through the third volume with 200ish chapters, meanwhile lord of the Mysteries is a completed work with 8 volumes and almost 1400 chapters. Rather than comparing Embers Ad Infinium to Lord of the Mysteries I think you should think about them proportionally, this novel is only part. I've seen quite a few people writing about how while this novel is good it isn't at lord of the Mysteries level, but I feel there's an implicit bias that forms after reading a completed work that effects how people view other works. I think when people pick up this novel they mostly do so after reading Lord of The Mysteries as they're by the same author. There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be.Įvery Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That’s the New World. The people will no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infections, mutations, and all kinds of dangers. The sunlight is dazzling, as if all coldness and darkness are washed away.

There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely. To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door. Intricately tied to this dream is something everyone in the Ashlands believes in: Deep in a particular ruin buried away by danger and famine, a path leading to a new world awaits. He has a grand dream: to save all of humanity. Living in a huge, underground building of Pangu Biology, one of the few remaining factions in this apocalyptic wasteland known as the Ashlands, he acts in unfathomable ways that’s head-scratching, comical, and shrewd. Our protagonist, Shang Jianyao, is crazy-literally crazy, at least that’s what the doctors said. In this latest work by Lord of the Mysteries author, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, be prepared for a well-thought out and detailed apocalyptic, cyberpunk world with a setting superseding Lord of the Mysteries!
