What's so interesting about The King of Secrets?

The King of Secrets not only has a good background and a good mind, but also is well portrayed. More importantly, it has a sense of magical realism. It's about the strange things of Krusu steampunk, but it's actually about the contradictions in capitalist society.

Factories that are heavily polluted and can't be transformed, female workers who can't earn money to support their families through factories, hooligans who steal and rob in the streets of cities, the power struggle of the upper class of nobles, the ambition of monopolizing capitalism, and the use of nationalism to transfer contradictions and launch a world war to carve up the world again. All kinds of religious false gods want to take the opportunity to devour each other and become "true gods."

Klein, the protagonist, is selfish and sincere, but still kind. He destroyed the king's ceremony and killed Henry, but instead of stopping the progress of the world war, he became the fuse of the war.

It's a lot like "Three-body" here. You work hard, your wisdom is unparalleled, you see through the course of history, but you may still not succeed, and the wheel of history will still roll forward.

In fact, this is a world of cultivation methods. In many books of squid, there is a setting, or "anchor" or "lighthouse", which is a hibernating cabin and sojourner who came back from the reincarnation of a great man. Those powerful and great people often refuse to be forgotten by history. They hope to live forever and become truly free and detached "true gods", but the results are often unsatisfactory.
