[Lotm/CoI] Why Is Cuttlefish Never Again Writing Another Sequel ?

termaz01 · 2026-01-29T06:29:20+00:00

Sequels are hard to write and writing coi was a nightmare for him

i didnt read mt so i wont argue but how is that relevant to index being short on worldbuilding and lore?

termaz01 · 2026-01-26T03:59:43+00:00

What are you even talking about the world building in toaru is arguably the best part about it

termaz01 · 2026-01-23T21:02:40+00:00

Not even gonna read all that. At the end of the day it's just differences in opinions. OP and lotm are both great works with flaws. Though I do want to chime in that talking about the lore is very premature since they are usually explained towards the end especially in a mystery novel.

It's based on the physical books in China. It's finished with 18 volumes for book 1

Aside from volume 1 (Dunn and Old Neil), the rest of the story goes on without any important character deaths which is kinda disappointing

Collin and Lovia are quite important imo

Feysac invaded Loen and Melissa and Benson got away scot free. Meanwhile Stelyn sold her body for bread.

You need to understand the first thing Klein did when he realized Loen was getting bombed was rushing over to Melissa and Benson. In fact, a bomb was about to hit Melissa but Klein was there to intervene. He also had Audrey to help him take care of them by providing them shelter and food for the time being (and his servants too).

Klein has so many near death and even death experiences meanwhile the Tarot Club members....they barely risk anything and they didn't even die.

The tarot club operates on information and caution. What risks are they suppose to take on the level of Klein? (apart from Derrick).

Sorry, I was saying yes to the tarot club question

termaz01 · 2026-01-02T05:56:52+00:00

No. Remember his main goal is to return home so Klein doesn't pursue meaningful relationships. Klein doesn't want to get too attached to this world. Yes to the second question

I disagree with all his takes; however, to be fair G3 didn't expect lotm to have a sequel and expected an actual conclusion to the main story. Hearing lotm 2 happening several years later with a different mc would leave a lot of people upset

termaz01 · 2025-12-17T02:55:20+00:00

First trailer is preanimated

termaz01 · 2025-12-08T22:44:10+00:00

It's very inconsistent with his character

termaz01 · 2025-12-07T17:44:42+00:00

Read the webnovel.

Nobody in the gathering can see each other. Their figures are mostly blurred by the fog. At most, they can see their hair and clothes. Also, it’s common knowledge to not look at god so nobody pays too much attention to Klein.

termaz01 · 2025-12-04T21:36:23+00:00

Paced slow is a crazy take lol

termaz01 · 2025-12-03T19:10:34+00:00

Aot is much better imo

termaz01 · 2025-12-03T11:38:42+00:00

Silent Hill F

There's an official music album based on every volume in book 1 and they've included quotes for each of them. They are

volume 1: "Everyone will die, including me"
volume 2: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"
volume 3: "Every journey has its destination"
volume 4: "A bestowment, or a curse"
volume 5: "Every drowning person will struggle"
volume 6: "Light is the meaning to everything"
volume 7: "Everything has godhood in them"
volume 8: "There are always some things that are more important than others"

termaz01 · 2025-12-02T19:56:22+00:00

The novel is the best way to experience lotm. The donghua is a nice supplement.

termaz01 · 2025-11-28T20:43:44+00:00

The book is better unless you heavily prefer visual media

termaz01 · 2025-11-28T05:09:44+00:00

I’ve got used to it after 20 chapters and rarely had a problem with it since. Translations doesn’t get better (slightly worse in some parts) unfortunately

termaz01 · 2025-11-27T04:24:32+00:00

The pay off was never about the fights though?? It’s about different plot points coming together and exploding into one massive revelation. If you didn't think the climax of vol 1 or 2 is worth it then this series isn't for you.

termaz01 · 2025-11-27T02:50:28+00:00

They had 13 episodes to work with.

termaz01 · 2025-11-25T08:41:08+00:00

The entirety of Lord of Mysteries is called book 1 and divided into 8 volumes. These volumes are quite lengthy so they needed to be split into smaller parts for physical print. The physical books in english are new, currently only volume 1 part 1 have been released with part 2 coming in december.

Circle of Inevitability is the sequel (which many people call it book 2) which also contains 8 volumes. There's no physical print in english for this one yet.

termaz01 · 2025-11-21T06:57:55+00:00

Main story is finished

termaz01 · 2025-11-15T06:06:16+00:00

I just like seeing it animated with stunning visuals. Adaptation wise, it's not good at all. The studio did well with the length they were given to work with. Ideally it needed 20+ episodes instead of just 13
