Read more The dark dungeons lay hidden beneath the earth, a labyrinth filled with countless ancient relics and treasures.Within these shadowy depths, there existed oddities and aberrations, cursed objects lurking in the gloom… Abysses and caverns were home to eldritch gods and mythical races… Artificers, cursed sigil prosthetics, and the towering black citadels stretched upward like fingers to the unknown.A mad alchemist’s brew of steam punk essence, a dash of the arcane, and a generous helping of the supernatural, all swirled together to forge a vibrant and colorful fantasy world.I am the Puppeteer Alchemist. All that I behold are but puppets to me. I alone am legion!

Currently (12/03/24) the first chapter is Chapter 210. Edit: Also included a short review below.If you click "Start Reading" make sure you don't make the same mistake I did and read that chapter. You will be extremely confused.Hopefully it gets fixed soon.Edit: I'll update this once I get further in. Currently up to Chap 17. It's pretty interesting so far.It's a post apocalyptic (?) world with steampunk technology, Magic and alchemy. MC transmigrated over and seems to be pretty crazy himself. He mentioned he was in prison and had experience with marksmanship, gouging out an eye etc. He also seems to suggest he has multiple personalities maybe? But no clear answer yet.It seems to have horror themed detective work, initially at least. Then it's mainly been just exploring this underground world, a fight with a group that tried to take advantage of MC and now he has finally reached a human settlement and has joined a gang.In terms of his powers/cheats, he awakens 2 talents. "All seeing eye" and "Reaper of death". Basically he can analyse stuff with the eye, though it is suggested to have more functions.The Reaper one basically allows him to absorb a portion of the memories, life experience and "stats" of those he kills via absorbing their soul soon after death.Will update once read further... I'll test it, wish me luck. I have to read at least all available chapters before reviewing. You alive brother, let us know... It's already half an hour So how was it? Just here for that ping, don't mind me Welp! I think he got lost in the sauce Anyone mind telling me their views of this novel whether it is worth trying? I cant tell what sort of direction this novel is going to take, usually from the information about the novel itself, not the content btw, should give me a general idea of its world but here? Nope I'll test it, wish me luck. I haven't read this but for those who would, beware. "Harem" and "Rape" are hidden in the events tags I think beware of prostitutes, slave, human experimentation and cannibalism tags as well, some might be uncomfortable with that
