Nothing about this is fun, meaningful, sweet, or tragic.

The main plot setting is that humans are irrationally, wildly racist against vampires to an extent that is unfathomably unrealistic. The "love interest" is a pushy stalker. The main character is a gutless, bland loser. Since the art is average, it leaves the work with no redeeming factors.

This could have been an interesting work despite the flawed premise if any of the characters were particularly fun or unique, but nobody offers anything. Instead it is nothing but a slow paced abomination. "OMG being vampire is suffering" is not an interesting story.

This is my first review and I'm only compelled to write this out of pure disgust for this manhwa. This won't be a very long write-up since I dropped this trash pretty early on but if you want to save yourself a read here's the TLDR: Stay away from the supposed "romance" manhwa unless you really enjoy abusive men.

This story starts out well enough; aloof girl, stuck-up guy - you know, the standard fare for a lot of romance stories in this medium, but after just a few chapters things take a turn for the infuriating. The male lead seems to have no comprehension of ... consent and disregards the female lead's very clear and concise refusal of his advances on multiple occasions, even going so far as to physically grab her and refuse to let her go even as she pleads with him to leave her alone; at one point she literally has to BITE him in order to get him off of her so she can flee! I want to be clear here - this was in no way one of those situations in manga/manhwa where a person says "no" in an ambiguous or coy way - this was pure abuse / harassment, and I don't know how anyone could read this without feeling immediately revolted.

In any case, this is the end of my rant. If you're anything like me you'll want to stay far away from this story.
