For comparison. To Be Hero X received 143 million views, while Dragon Raja s2 received 166 million views

https://x.com/LOTM_WORLD/status/1962843581237895572

That number might not be comparable to 3D CGI donghua right now but that number can be considered to be very good for a first season donghua like LOTM.

The popularity of LOTM world wide are not bad either, it was in top 5 of HiAnime (Major pirate site) list of most popular show in 2025.

It also has reached 50k rating in crunchyroll and I believe it will surpass TBHX's rating number soon despite TBHX aired 3 months earlier than LOTM. And LOTM was achieving all of this in Crunchyroll and pirated site WITHOUT a Japanese dub. If anime fans who only watch with Japanese dub also watched LOTM, the numbers would probably be even higher than they are now.

Lord of Mysteries s1 also received a rating of 8.3 on the Chinese site Douban. Douban is considered the primary reference site in China. A rating +8.0 there is regarded as a huge success, since most works score lower due to the strict rating standards. +8 on Douban roughly +9 on IMDB

Now I can see why Tencent decided to invest a lot of money on LOTM. This is a very good business for them.

@supremeone55 If lots of people didnt understand then me or someone else might create that discussion. But if most people accepted the episode without much confusion then I think it wont be necessary to make a thread about chapter 210 or episode 13.

And Tencent’s only the second most popular streaming platform in China, so we can boldly write about 500 million. On the other hand, we’ve got a ~2000th place in popularity on MAL with a half-dead forum where two posts a day get written.
So, Tencent releases an anime under their sponsorship, clearly with a ton of money poured in, and then they themselves hype up its unprecedented success on their own platform. Totally unbiased source, right?
Though, of course, it’s just a matter of how they count their views, otherwise it’ll turn out like some local fans claiming 1.45 billion people read the book.

What, you feel sorry for me or something? Left a whole message on the forum, how awful.
I went to the forum, saw a new topic, and wrote. Any problems?
Tencent may be big, but even in China, WeTV surpasses it in views, where Lord of Mysteries is also released. Hence the 500 million.
Well, just like another fanatic who sent me some clippings from Chinese newspapers with an article about 1.45 billion people reading Lord of Mysteries, nothing new.

@0207xander You clearly do not understand what a shonen is, I do not know about the Donghua but in case of the novel readers most people do not enjoy shonen anime. I would argue this series is closer to a seinen than a shonen but of course this definition does not suit it. It is a Donghua afterall, I would also argue that the shonen fan demographic does not translate well to Lord of the Mysteries based on the impressions of some people.

@0207xander Yes those are shounen, lotm is not a shounen

And as i said i think you are commenting on the wrong forum
This is about tencents ratings and how lotm will probably get long-term support from tencent because of these ratings/support from the chinese community

My main concern for popularity was that if it wasnt popular enough after season 1 it wont get any new seasons. But I am super pleasantly surprised that within first 5 episode they announced next 10 year road map with promise of compelte adaptation of the story. So as an anime only I am completely happy. Numbers dont matter much, if they keep the same quality going and keep giving me more LOTM I have nothing more to ask! Just keep the awesome direction, action and animation and sound quality up and keep giving us more seasons thats it!

But it is good to hear so many people have enjoyed it just like me!
