Lord of the Mysteries Volume 2

5/5




  "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."


another emotional and unfortunate way to end the volume. i'm noticing a pattern here! and my heart is feeling heavy.

so many happened in this volume. so much characters introduced, both allies and enemies. so much expansion of the world. but it was all conveyed in a manner that wouldn't drowned the reader with too much information. 

if roselle gustav, a fellow transmigrator who is a very influential figure up to the present, is very ambitious guy and someone who wants to flaunt as much as possible, klein is completely opposite. he is someone who chooses to be as lowkey as he can get, not attracting any kinds of spotlights. except when he is in the tarot club gathering as mr. fool, he usually shows himself as weak as he actually is. being underestimated by enemies is his initial goal to get the upper hand. i've always been interested in underestimated protagonist and klein surely did his role well 

klein moretti advanced in his pathway sequence twice in this volume and i loved that every sequence fits him and his personality perfectly, but in a sad way. his every fight with different beyonders having different level of strength and powers clearly showed the reality of his own strength and how much he grew in each battle. i appreciate that his fights are real life-threatening and you can feel that he's really in the brink of death each time. i am never relaxed in those situations because klein already died once, and it isn't impossible to die again.

when i first read this volume, i was kinda sad to see that klein is deliberately not using his name anymore because 'klein moretti' was supposed to be officially dead. but thinking about it now, 'klein moretti' is just another of his 'persona' when he transmigrated in this world. he is still zhou mingrui from earth, and will always be. that's what he thought too as he suppressed his emotions. in this particular volume, klein used 'sherlock moriaty' as his disguised identity while staying in backlund, acting as a detective for a profession. it helped him a lot to digest his clown and magician potion and as a detective, klein stumbled upon lots of information that can widen his overall view of mysticism, and even increased his resources to help him advance in the future. he met a bunch of allies who helped him through his journey in backlund but since klein is a lone wolf, it's not surprising to end this volume as him once again embarking in a different, more dangerous place alone. i certainly hope his founded allies will appear again in the future. 

 KLEIN MORETTI


SHERLOCK MORIARTY


from having three members in his tarot club in volume one, his very discreet organization now has six members and is continuing to grow. i'm really looking forward to klein's future advancement and adventure now that he's out of backlund. i'm ready for more intense fights in the future.

i'm loving every minute i spent reading this series and i can never rate this specific volume lower than a full five star. off to start volume 3!!
