spoilers:
fucking the whole family is not a very desirable romance trope. the smuts hot, but the fluff doesn’t hit at all. i’d MUCH rather see a violent toxic version of this than a shabby attempt at an ‘authentic’ relationship with a vampire’s ex-lover’s great grandson. even some confinement, revenge, manipulation.. literally anything but this absolute snoozefest of a romance plot.
in the mc’s shoes, his identity, independence, and free will has been stripped away to just be a vessel for his great grandfathers love and past regrets- it feels more like a possession- frankly, it is. the mc isn’t himself, and the vampire (albeit unknowingly) takes advantage of that. the vampire doesn’t even see mc as himself, just as ‘another blake’. i’d be far happier plot wise if the mc left the vampire and found someone who loves him for who he truly is inside- rather than clinging to the past with a hundreds-of-years-old family fucking slut.
albert should dump his ass
and vampire needs to get a fucking grip
this cute and had a refreshing art styles but GODDAMN is her forehead so fucking large
her cranium is so big no wonder she has that power- her big ass fucking forehead is where she stores it.
from the beginning there’s no chemistry between ml and mc, the only reasoning they’re attached to eachother is because of physical attraction (ml) and “he’s nice to me” (mc)
ml is practically perfect before their first breakup- and a character in the story even says that they would have both been much happier if the mc wasn’t a retarded cheap whore.
then the mc runs away from the rich asf ml, and everything goes downhill after that
it just made me mad
it’s gonna make you mad too
and was a COMPLETE waste of my time
every happy moment the characters had together was meaningless and did nothing for me
compare this to lost in the cloud, for instance.
the only toxic thing about this is the amount of rape and infidelity- and how retarded the mc is.
this whole story reminded me of my cheater ex tbh.
decent art and terrible everything else, even the sex scenes fucking suck.
EZ SKIP.
the second i read the first few chapters i knew i hated this. fuck ever having the thought to put myself in the shoes of any of these fucking characters before the first sex scene, immediate take-back.
the only reason i skin through the chapters photos and put myself through that 10 second misery every update is to see this tan dude eventually kill this pasty motherfucker. i don’t give a fuck about whatever he did in the past or what this ‘revenge’ is for, he can just kill himself right after if he has any reason to feel guilty or ashamed. even then i’td be a tragedy, a great fucking story of one at that but just too brutal. if it ended like that it’d sure be a great psychological horror but at the same time an impossible read.
TL;DR: an excessive over-the top unreadable rape-fest with a gorgeous undeserved artstyle in which you hope everyone in this story dies in the end.
barely a spoiler, more of a warning:
anyone who values chastity or romance or- actually forget that, even if you came here to get off, the chemistry is so shit you should skip this one.
the romance dynamic tries to be like “sharpe and rabbit” (you should read btw) if it was fucking awful, and one of the characters in that is a literal paid whore, whom i respected far more than this twink disaster.
the debauchery in question is so potent and inexcusable i doubt it would even get the gooniest of gooners on this site hard, because you’re made to feel like the cuck in the chair, the MC.
ml puts bonnie blue to shame, taking train after train of men.. and women.
mc’s personality is all over the place and barely holding itself together from also being one-dimensional, and somehow boringly psychopathic.
how can you be boring and crazy? this guy found a way.
this webcomic tries to gain your sympathy and fails miserably, it tries to put you in the perspectives of the mc and, debatably, the ml and fails even harder.
as someone who anticipated this to have at least some romance, chemistry- sweet and tender moments followed by raw shocking outbursts of drama and suspense, this shit delivers on none of that and serves you bullshit with a great art style.
stories with actively promiscuous tops/bottoms/switches are generally just not that great 99% of the time but this one gives you a general summary of why the hate of any trope involving it is often deserved.
im not here to slut shame, one of my favorites is sharpe and rabbit after all, i just know its a hard pill for plenty of readers such as myself to swallow when the characters are like.. this. if you want this story done well, read S&R.
! !!! !!! READ IF TL;DR: I know this is a lot, if you just read the title and don't want to read anything else then send me whatever is violent that you ended up liking! I'm very open minded! :D
(for those that don't mind reading a lot) Needs:
-A very, VERY good art style of any kind.
-An interesting plot/story beyond the violent aspects.
-Fine if romance included, but can't be the OVERWHELMINGLY dominant part. A.K.A. not shoved down your throat.
^^^If any central romance, not typical psychopath x innocent girl/twink trope. (1 is incredibly feminine, cute, weak)
Preferences:
-A lot of attention to detail and accurate representation of illustrating gore and anatomy and lots of it.
-The worse it makes me feel the better.
-Extra points if there's a mystery.
-No SA. Only if rec is good enough to look past it, like Berserk.
-I prefer gay/lesbian/no romance.
Things I've read that fit these requirements/recs:
MADK, Brutal, Made In Abyss (<-PERFECT EXAMPLES) Killing Morph, Anything by Junji Ito, Parasyte.
Don't perfectly fit: Berserk, TPN, Parasyte, Ajin:DH, Summer Hikaru died (reminds me of a VERY toned down MADK with its charms :D)
Disliked/ don't fit: Killing stalking, Black Mirror, Obey me.
I originally signed up for this site because of Solo Leveling and it's been really hard to find any other good action and fantasy like it, just without the romance because those parts tend to bother me, so if anyone could please help me out with finding some good things to read while also preferable having no romance regarding the MC (If it does, it's okay, I'm only looking for something centered around action and fantasy) it would be a great help since this sight tends to have a lot of romance bl and gl!
