I read the whole manhua of this story like a year ago. Like most manhua/manhwa stories they are very fast paced, with not many filler moment.
As for the anime, I loved it and I want to see more of it. At the beginning it felt like there needs to be more filler scenes, because the flow of the story is too fast, but I would say it got better in the later episodes. Maybe they should alter it from the manhua just the tiniest of bit.
The subtitles are fast and I barely have time to read them, I almost cannot look away from them at all. That's why I think there should be a bit space between scenes and dialogs.
The animation is pretty well done, characters are polished versions of those from the manhua, it's good.
I love the music track that they have going on, it fits to the story perfectly! You can see that it clearly emphasizes the situation and the status of the characters from the story.

The story itself is, like I said before, not the one with the best of qualities. I read a lot of webtoons and most of them have reputative arcs and bad translations, some of them feel like a 5 year old wrote them. Although this one isn't anywhere near those, the ones that are the best I have ever read are "The goddess of Healing" and "Pharaoh's concubine" which I highly recommend to read.

"Sweet bite mark", this story, is about a world where both humans and vampire coexist. Humans are treated as slaves to vampires and the main characters are Roy, a boy vampire from a famous blood clan, and Du Xiaoxin, a human girl.
She has a younger brother that she has to protect and pay hospital bills for and that's why she enrolled a school full of vampires. One day she gets on Roy's bad side and he tells everyone in the school that she is his enemy. As time goes on, he gets attached to her and takes her to be his blood servant. The whole time Xiaoxin refuses because she is supposed to hate vampires, as they were the ones who killed her parents. Roy forces on her as he demands for her to indulge him, and she does. Even though some might say she gets a Stockholm syndrome I would disagree. For yes, he does keep her in his house but he lets her leave and doesn't control her completely. Later in the story we can see where all his behavior comes from, from his troubled past and upbringing. With his acts of affection and support of Xiaoxin when she needs it the most, he makes her fall for a being, a race, she is supposed to hate. With taking note of the smallest of things and trying to uphold her image, to him acting as if he doesn't care. Seeing the forming of a bond of trust between Roy and Xiaoxin is a wholesome sight to see.

Throughout the whole story both protagonists fight for peace between the two races...against vampire hunters, other vampires from high status blood clans, drug dealer vampires and brothers who work behind your back...none of those are strong enough to ruin the love that the two of them have.

We need more vampire stories and this is a great start I'd say.
