An Ordinary Me Meets the Strongest Vampire Queen: Prologue

Author, what kind of bizarre thought process do you have to write such a plot? The countless layers of clichés in Tangtang's *Blood Princess and Knight* are nothing compared to yours. What did the protagonist, Ye Luo, do wrong to deserve such a tragic fate? Ye Zixuan's character is also incredibly twisted. If she wanted to adopt the protagonist as her daughter, she could have easily given him enough warmth during his time of hardship to make him willingly become her daughter during their first embrace. But what did Ye Zixuan choose? She chose to inflict the cruelest deception, malice, and harm upon him, repeatedly taking from him and shattering his hope just as he regained it, plunging him into the abyss...

This book started off alright and was readable, but it got increasingly melodramatic and the plot became a complete mess. Even the title itself felt odd to me. It got more and more absurd and off-topic, with some scenes resembling nonsensical soap opera plots. Crucial points were glossed over, and the tedious parts were excessively long (' - ' * ). The character development was also poor, lacking depth in every aspect. Personally, I had no liking for it; I was quite hopeful at the beginning, but it completely disappointed me later on (' - ' * ).

The novel is all about the protagonist. My initial motivation for reading it was to follow his experiences, watch him grow, and witness his developing relationship with his love interest. Ye Luo, amidst his tragic life, encountered the powerful Xuan Tian Sect. Unlike others who shunned him, they offered him warmth, like family. Then Ye Zixuan arrived, destroying his few moments of warmth, and hatred began to sprout in Ye Luo's heart. He escaped, and once again found warmth, only to have it destroyed again by Ye Zixuan. Then he met the A Yi family, and this time he truly felt the warmth of family. However, the A Yi family also met a tragic end...

This is my first time writing a long review, so please don't be too harsh! To be honest, I had high expectations for this work. The writing is definitely good, but the plot and characters have quite a few flaws, especially the protagonist's mother's actions. I believe many people find this character jarring. Disregarding human life and then shifting blame onto the protagonist to achieve her own goals—in other words, she murders and thinks it's justified. Of course, this is just my personal interpretation, so please don't attack me! Maybe the author did it for the sake of the plot! As for the protagonist, he lost his family at a young age, isn't that pitiful? Did the male lead do anything wrong? No, right? Why does he hurt people again and again...?

As a seasoned bookworm who has been reading novels for over a decade, I can actually judge the quality of an article in just a few paragraphs or chapters. The problems with this novel are: an incomplete world-building, insufficient attention to detail, and significant issues with character psychology. The forced introduction and explanation of many parts without proper groundwork is a fatal flaw. Because of these gaps in the initial introduction, the later parts become increasingly confusing, leading to a major collapse of the main plot. Furthermore, the pace of detail is too fast, and the characters lack distinct personalities. To bring characters to life in a novel, you need to give them a complete life story...

Well, here are my thoughts after reading the first volume. It tells the story of an incredibly cute and innocent little beggar who is saved by a fairy. Then he encounters a demon, and his nightmare begins. First, all the cooks who were kind to him are killed—his first "family." Then he starts working hard to become stronger and protect himself. At that time, he was truly naive, blaming no one but himself for being too weak. He encounters the demon again, and unsurprisingly, he is no match for him and is captured. The demon wants to possess him completely and hatches an even more cruel plan: to make him have family again...

There were barely two positive reviews in the long comments. The author should probably work on the outline first, straighten out the logic, and make the characters a little more fleshed out, at least so the reader doesn't feel like they're suffering from liver pain.

I temporarily abandoned the story after seeing the part where Ye Luo transforms into Ye Luoyi. It felt like the protagonist had been completely changed, and everyone who was good to the former protagonist got their comeuppance. Hmm, congratulations, congratulations! Then I couldn't continue reading. I experienced this sudden change of protagonist once in Knight and Blood Princess, and I really don't want to experience it again. After all, Ye Luoyi is practically a new character, and Ye Luo hasn't completely disappeared yet. If Ye Luo really is gone, I probably won't come back to read it. I can't speak for all readers, but I feel that what I want to see is Ye Luo as Ye Luoyi, not Ye Luoyi replacing Ye Luo.

It's not that I'm maliciously giving it a low score; after all, it does have its merits, but some parts are undeniable. The protagonist appears practically starting from scratch, possessing no fighting ability until he encounters the two self-proclaimed final monsters (let's call them a couple). Having only studied combat for a year, his strength is already on par with a blood demon like Ye Zixuan, who has a lifespan of ten thousand years. Does this mean that ten thousand years of cultivation is completely useless? Is ten thousand years of training less effective than the protagonist's one year of practice? Furthermore, there's the issue of perspective. Ye Zixuan's tendency to massacre entire cities can be explained by her tyrannical character, but what about the protagonist? In the first half of the story, the protagonist clearly...

The sun after the rain was hazy and overcast. This brainwashing tactic was truly masterful. I don't want to kill the author for the protagonist, but because of ordinary people, for finding someone, for slaughtering a city, for one person, families were destroyed and lives were lost. Two people, two cities, some deserved to die, some didn't. But they were all sinners for slaughtering the city. It seems the author tried hard to write Ye Zixuan well, but I always wanted to enter the book and kill her. Before, when I read novels, I only cared about the protagonist, as long as it was enjoyable. But after reading so many books, I wanted to be a participant, accepting everything, yet unable to accept it. The people in the story were no longer characters, but background elements used only to provide context. And then the enemy didn't die, the avenger was brainwashed and sealed away...
