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!
Our protagonist, Shang Jianyao, is crazy—literally crazy, at least that’s what the doctors said. 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. So is he really crazy? Probably.
He has a grand dream: to save all of humanity.
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. To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door.
There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely.
The sunlight is dazzling, as if all coldness and darkness are washed away.
The people will no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infections, mutations, and all kinds of dangers.
There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be.
Every Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That’s the New World.

Comments on the novel chapters for the last week.
I should start reading this again. I remembered reading this when LoTM just finished and I need something to read.
Let's goooo
Its a crime how little people read this. If i wasn't looking at Cuttlefish's other stories i wouldn't even have known this even existed, which would have been a tragedy. Maybe i need to do some advertising when i reread LotM.
is the male lead involve in romance?
Already a fan of Cuttlefish, no matter what this guy writes, is good.
Aahhhhhh, what a good read.
If I were given a chance to preserve one book for future generations this would be it.
Stopped at 800's when this was ongoing, this is a gem that I think could/might surpass LOTM book 1(still not finished reading it). I like dystopian, rusty cyberpunk vibes, and the down to earth power system. Anyway the thing that I have problem is why this book is not as well known as cuttlefish other works! I need the map of Ashland! Anyone please, it's hard to imagine the position of the different factions.
As expected of a cuttlefish novel, the world building was great per usual. MC is also great and the comedy is good. Also from the cuttlefish novels I've read (lotm, tma, 2 vol of coi, plus this) jiang baimian is peak major female charecter. Her dynamic with mc is fun to read and her intelligence and resourcefulness *chefs kiss* I also like that cuttlefish chose to keep Heys relationships platonic. I feel he's better at that than romantic since he puts plot over romance so the chemistry ends up a bit lacking. Like in TMA despite the charecters being good they were apart longer than they've been near. It was difficult to get into the novel in the beginning so it took longer for me to finish compared to the other two books but it picked up at the end. Probably second when it comes to charecters, dynamics and ending in a cuttlefish novel (first being lotm) My mc rankings 1. Klein, 2. Lucien, 2. Shang jianyao, 3.lumian. Also a few extras would've been nice😔
It's a masterpiece i dont understand how its ranked so low, its very well written, the plot is crazy good and so are literally all the characters. The settings is interesting too and handled very well, the various powers are also veryt fair, like in lotm, and honestly i liked this one better, even tough in lotm the lore behind the story is more developed and intricate wich i dig a lot
