Lord of the Mysteries Episode 3: The Quick Guide

Episode Title: “Notes”

Release Date: Friday, July 4th, 2025

Release Time: 7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET on Crunchyroll

Where to Watch: Crunchyroll (North America, Europe, India, and more), Tencent Video / WeTV (China and select regions), Muse Asia (select Southeast Asian territories).

If you’re just joining the Nighthawks, Lord of the Mysteries is the new series from B.CMAY Pictures that adapts the wildly popular Chinese web novel of the same name. It’s a slick, atmospheric thriller that drops a modern man, Zhou Mingrui, into the body of Klein Moretti, a history graduate in a Victorian-inspired world teeming with secret societies, forbidden rituals, and cosmic horror.

The show has earned its immediate buzz, drawing comparisons to Solo Leveling for its high-quality animation and source material pedigree. But where that show is a feast of power-ups, Lord of the Mysteries is a slow-drip of dread, where gaining power as a “Beyonder” means risking your sanity. After a whirlwind two-episode premiere, the show is picking up even more speed.

Last Time on Lord of the Mysteries

The premiere was a masterclass in efficient world-building. We saw Klein awaken in a new body, burdened by the original’s debts and the cryptic aftermath of a luck-stealing ritual gone wrong. By Episode 2, “Beyonder,” he’d been recruited into the Nighthawks, the city’s supernatural police force. After choosing the “Seer” pathway and drinking a potion to gain Spirit Vision, he was thrown into his first mission with the cynical veteran Leonard Mitchell. The mission culminated in a grotesque fight against a fused monster and deepened the central mystery surrounding the cursed Antigonus family notebook.

What’s Coming in Episode 3: The Clown and the Cursed Notebook

Get ready for the plot to shift into high gear. Episode 3, “Notes,” is making a significant leap forward in the source material’s timeline. The adaptation is consciously trimming side plots to focus on the central narrative, which means we’re fast-tracking to a major confrontation.

The investigation into the Antigonus notebook will lead Klein, Captain Dunn Smith, and Leonard directly into the path of the “Suit-clad Clown,” the unnerving antagonist briefly glimpsed in the premiere. This isn’t just another procedural case; this is the story’s first major boss fight, a direct consequence of the cursed artifact that started it all. Expect a tense, action-heavy episode that will serve as a brutal lesson for Klein and a dark turning point for the season.

Lord of the Mysteries: Full Season 1 Release Schedule

B.CMAY Pictures reportedly produced all 13 episodes in advance, so the schedule should hold steady. New episodes will release weekly.

What About the English Dub?

This is the number one question for many fans, and the answer is still pending. Despite some early reports, Crunchyroll has not yet officially announced an English dub for Lord of the Mysteries. For the foreseeable future, the series is available with subtitles only. We will update this section the moment official news drops.

The decision to sprint through the novel’s early arcs is a bold one. It’s a strategy designed to hook viewers with high-stakes action right away. Episode 3 will be the real test of that approach, and it’s shaping up to be essential viewing.
