pluckaduck's manga / #Vampire(6)

very nice. it's hard to find a yaoi+actual and unique plot nowadays (there are too many stories with a bunch of filler smut and a slow plot, or shoujo-vibe shounen-ai. tbh they're boring and cliche, sometimes so shoujo that if the mc was replaced with a female, it wouldn't have changed anything). I like the recurring and diverse characters and their impact on the story's development (like, there are not merely side characters that talk). but as much as I like how smooth the development is, I think some aspects should be more delved into. like the mc's character was a bit lackluster. however, ngl Paulo was written pretty well, i think? anyways, where did father Domingo go? his relationship with teco? who exactly killed mc's parents? what do the latter know? what exactly is Misha? what is the boundary he is talking about? I also want to know the fortune-teller and clairvoyant's story? (like, it was so random! it just made me even more curious!)

i just love stories that are inspired by real-life religious lore. the plot development is kinda messy, not sure if it's the translation, but it was confusing sometimes ex. chris's and rayfel's backstory... im still not sure why chris resents him so much going so far as to try to kill him multiple times.. like was it venting? for turning him into a vampire? for leaving him? if they just talked it out... why didnt they talk it out in the first place? also, i feel that the ending has the potential for a sequel with the final villain as belial himself, the one that cursed rayfel.

it's really really beautiful, but sometimes, good art doesnt mean coherent or equally as good story. the art style is distracting, for lack of better word
