Genboxxy's manga / #Vampire(11)

I'm conflicted with this one, becoz it's honestly not that bad, the art's great too, but I dunno, the plot seemed to drag on storywise. I was really excited during the first season, then the latter part was just filled with drama and the motivations for the villain's actions sometimes come off as just BS cliche (which could definitely work btw, I just don't vibe with it in this work), also I noticed that the main couple, in almost every scene that they are in, all they do is have seggs, not that I'm complaining, it's steamy and well drawn, but it does make me feel disconnected towards the supposed development of their relationship. Not satisfied with the ending too, feels like the uke failed and shot the seme for realz and thus they're meeting in heaven at the end or somethin (why was it drawn like that author, why?) I know they inserted that comment from Reign about needing the "ingredient" to ensure readers that the ML is still alive, but still, with how the panels progressed, it seemed otherwise. This author's way of storytelling is quite reserved, too reserved, by that I mean, it keeps too much of the information away from the readers, possibly to incite suspense, but the way it's handled is just confusing and alienating as a reader towards the characters and plot. Definitely strong points for art, plotwise I'd say maybe tone it down? since the author comes off as trying to fit in too many prompts in one story, which coincidentally they did admit in the end notes, sorta?

very soap opera-ish complete with dramatic dialogues, some over the top characters, conflicts that come in and out like your weekly variety show, and major plot points that just get resolved with deus ex machina. Not for me.

3.5/5 can't feel the chemistry between the couple that much, the plot's out of whack for me. The artstyle is beautiful tho.
