The Thai edition of Lord of the Mysteries

In recent years, Chinese web literature works are getting increasingly popular

multi-language charm both in subject and content, it fuses the Cthulhu style,

SCP-like elements, Victoria era flavor and Steampunk passion. As there are many

Professionals in the publishing and literature industry, translators and reader

groups have heated discussions about the novel.

A mystery novel for people of the Earth

Lord of the Mysteries was serialized as of April 2018, and completed in May 2020.

In this novel, the author harmoniously fuses the Cthulhu style, SCP-like

elements, Victoria era flavor and Steampunk passion to create an immersive

experience. As an international novel created by a Chinese writer, it perfectly

merges the oriental culture and thoughts into the global context, which is both

familiar and fresh for readers worldwide.

In the lifelike, mystical world of the novel, readers can feel the profound

cultural spirit in the apparently Cthulhu style western fantasy subject.

Creating a gigantic different world similar to the western society in the first

industrial revolution era, the novel describes many social problems, such as

poverty, unemployment and environmental pollution, confronted by the

middle-income and grass-root people in that era.

As the story and spirit of this novel are universally popular, people with

different cultural backgrounds can be touched by the story, That's why the

novel is a global success.
