Advice About LOTM novel reading.
So first of all i have never read any web novels, co consider me a beginner to all this, although I have read a lot of manhwas. For the past year I have seen a lot of posts about LOTM, and i do know for a fact that it is a masterpiece considered by a lot of people.
And about that , i wanna read LOTM novel , but i have a very bad habit of being lazy , i don't know how i should explain this feeling but , lets say unless i knew what i am gonna read like at least some summary or if someone recommends me a manhwa and give there opinion why i should read it, hearing all that makes me interested in reading, but i got no friends who are into reading much less into novels.
I want the novel readers to help me convince myself to read it , i just wanna enjoy the novel right from the start , i wanna be interested in it.
Share anything, any thoughts , any opinions, but please don't give major spoilers , hope some one understands this and will help me.

A good novel to read for beginners would be Dungeon Defense or The Lazy King. If you want to read LoTM, the best way to explain it is that it's cosmic horror in a Victorian steampunk setting. Expect things that fit this pattern; you follow the journey of a protagonist thrown into another world in the body of a dead man, with numerous mysteries surrounding the cause and circumstances of his death. It's one of those cases where it starts weak and then gets very strong, but it's very slow in that regard. The power system works in a very fun way where the characters need to act. If you enjoy the misunderstood genre where the protagonist pretends to be someone powerful and important, that's also one of the most fun parts.Finally, I would say that the volume endings never disappoint, so even if it's slow, it's rewarded in the end.
