Of course there are. I'll immediately recommend you a few fantasy novels that specialize in puppeteering or mechanism techniques. The first one was "The Clan of Ten Thousand Ages." This novel was a fantasy of the East. In a world where ancient technology had developed to the peak, a young man who walked out of a small town wanted to start a legacy of ten thousand generations and become an immortal master. The plot was unique. Secondly, The Strongest Puppet Master in History was a fantasy novel. The main character Zhao Feng turned Xuan Tie into a living pig or bird, and his control over puppets was extremely strong. Also, in the fantasy novel "A Million Puppet Soldiers", the protagonist Fang Zhang could condense magic elements into puppets for production and combat. These novels are all very exciting and should not be missed. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
