🚨| Here is the story about why Cuttlefish, the author of Lord of the Mysteries, released this statement according to the discussios in China:
It is said that the author of I Am Not the God of Drama has plagiarized from multiple novels, including Slay the Gods, Dragon Raja, Lord of the Mysteries, My House of Horrors, Little Mushroom, and others.
Let’s start with Lord of Mysteries:
In one of his novels, the author allegedly changed the Church of the Fool into the “Church of Darkness,” and introduced a character named Adam who destroyed them, with only “The Fool” surviving. Moreover, this version of “The Fool” is described as an Asian who possesses a European body.
This is what is written in the novel:
“Roughly eighty years ago, an organization of ability users known as the Church of Darkness suddenly emerged. Most of its members were Third or Fourth-Stage individuals who used the faces of Tarot cards as their codenames. Back then, they plunged Great Britain into absolute chaos, ushering in an era rife with darkness and bloodshed.
Later on, after a long period of bitter struggle, the local superpower organizations of Great Britain joined forces and completely crushed the Church of Darkness. Except for ‘The Fool,’ who managed to escape, the other dozen or so members were all killed. The organization never appeared again, and we all believed it had been completely wiped out.”

Another fun fact: The CN fans often joke about Cuttlefish's handwriting (they say it's dogshit, but still they go on his book signing events anyway and post his handwriting on social media lol), and when they were hearing 0-08 speak for the first time, they went like "huh? who's doing that godawful voice??" (they didn't know it was him at first) 🤭
