    Originally, I wasn't a big fan of the writing and it's a -kind of, new genre. It sets itself apart from cultivation novels, and it is novel, up to certain points.

    I wish to read something where the main character has this little meetings and everyone thinks MC is some kind of powerful deity but in reality MC is anxious to get more powerful so he is not caught in his lies and the others realize he is just like them.

    I know History Number one founder is the most similar -or the one I know of.

    But could you kindly tell me if there's more novels like that?

    there a webtoon like that the main character is ugly so most ppl can't read his facial expression and accidentally beat someone up and now every one is trying beat him to prove they are the strongest, but he keeps accidentally beating everyone all while he secretly shits his pants.

    I think it's called storm bringer

    It starts really slow, it may not be your cup of tea though. I do encourage you, however, to read it and stop it if you don't like it. I gave it a second opportunity because I saw it on my reading list every time I read a chapter of other novel and went back to main menu.

    Eventually I got the courage to continue reading. I stopped at 78 and been eagerly waiting every day's release.

    Honestly the best thing to come out of China. I'm up to c695 now and the quality has remained just as excellent since the start. As long as you like the genre, it should be a good read.

    Seconded, it’s from the same author as Martial Arts Master, the #1 Chinese Romance webnovel as well which I loved. Haven’t tried Throne of Magical Arcana yet.

    Throne of Magical Arcana is good as well
    At first mc is poor so he brings classical piano/orchestra to his world(beethoven classics) then when he interacts with magic which is banned where church is he finds it similar to science where there is mana but magician uses theory and thesis and workings of modern science for discover new magic and uses

    Depends, it most definitely isn't everybody's cup of tea. But it's unique and the writing is good enough to bear through its lacking qualities so it just depends on how well you can stand the worse aspects of it

    So what's special about this book? I'm intrigued since it seems to be pretty similar to the stuff I already normally read; with all the detailed world building and clever tricks. My recommendations won't be very useful unless you read Chinese though.

    The establishment of a cult by the MC, the Victorian era in general, the ranking up system is also a bit unique. It won't be an outstanding read, but I'd put it at above average or decent.

    I completely agree with you, tried to avoid it for some time because of firearms/airships tags in description, but eventually I convinced myself to give a shot and booooooy, it's a bullseye, my TOP2 atm (btw. I left review so if some1 doesn't like firearms kind of themes (like me), just go and checkout what I've wrote about it).
