"Wait! Bro! Can we talk this over? Since we're so fated, can you turn me into a vampire? How about you bite me?" I am not okay. I am genuinely not okay. A Yu is the most unhinged character to stumble into this story and I love him already. Here's this guy who's been hunting vampires for content, who somehow finds Lu Qing in a subway tunnel at 4 AM, and his first instinct after being threatened with death is to ask to BE turned into a vampire. He pulls open his collar and offers his neck like it's a date. This is peak fanatic energy and the author writes him with such perfect comedic timing. Lu Qing's deadpan reactions are equally good. "Your neck could be snapped or your heart ripped out. You choose." — said with the emotional warmth of a menu at a restaurant. And then the hypnosis scene where he just deletes the videos, takes a selfie, and vanishes? Chef's kiss. The aftermath where A Yu wakes up confused, looking at a selfie he doesn't remember taking, and muttering "vampires can hypnotize" to himself like he's trying to solve a math problem? I wheezed. The dialogue throughout these chapters has this great range—Lu Qing's cold, clipped threats during the hunt contrast perfectly with the absurdity of A Yu's desperation. The author's voice shifts seamlessly between horror and humor without it feeling jarring.
The pacing in these chapters is absolutely masterful and I need to unpack why. We go from a full-blown family confrontation — Madam Zhang screaming about divorce, Aunt Liu firing back, everyone taking sides — to a quiet nighttime scene with moonlight and a fussy baby, and then back to another confrontation about bride price money, and then to the final decision to divide the family. That's like four major plot beats across what feels like two chapters and it NEVER drags. The author knows exactly when to speed up and when to slow down. The confrontation scene is written in rapid-fire dialogue with short paragraphs, which makes you feel the chaos and urgency. Then right after Madam Zhang storms off, we get this long exhale — everyone returns to their rooms, Shen Qingru hugs her baby, Aunt Lan nags her about overexerting herself postpartum. It's a breather, but it's not filler. It deepens character. Then — wham — Mrs. Lyu is pregnant and the whole family dynamics shift again. The pacing of the bride price revelation is also brilliantly done. It doesn't come all at once. First Chang the Third whispers with his mother, then he goes to Mrs. Lyu, then the whole family is summoned. Each step builds the tension. And the worst part? The author makes you WAIT. We sit through Mrs. Yang's fake politeness, Madam Zhang's fake concern for family harmony, all while we know something terrible is coming. When Madam Zhang finally says "the Eldest Branch will provide two hundred taels," it lands like a punch because we've been dreading it. The chapter ends on a cliffhanger — Dazhuang's decision to divide the family, Aunt Liu starting to speak, and then it cuts off. I was literally shaking. The structure here is tight as a drum. No wasted scenes, no filler dialogue. Every conversation advances either plot or character, usually both.
There's this one moment — Su Zhisheng is standing in a narrow alley between the interview storefront and the beauty salon, pulling beef jerky out of his bag to negotiate with rats. The alley reeks of garbage, few people go there, the street noise provides sound insulation. He's crouched down talking to rodents like it's the most normal thing in the world, and honestly? That's what makes the scene work so well. The author doesn't treat it as bizarre. The rats haggle. They ask about poison. They want more jerky as payment. It's mundane in the most extraordinary way. And the visual contrast! You've got this busy commercial street full of pedestrians, bright lights, the whole atmosphere of a normal city day. Then two meters into a quiet alley behind a trash bin, everything changes. The rats are eating half-eaten fried chicken that was tossed because the assistant was called away to buy painkillers. The patient is rotting in a basement. The world feels layered, like there's a hidden underneath the surface that most people never see. The police station scene was also vivid — wailing, outcries, the lawyer's exasperation, the mother fixing her hair even at a moment like that. These small details make the world feel lived-in. People are performative even in grief. The brother's indifference, the mother's calculated appearance — it's all so human. The pet hospital with the German Shepherd police dog saying "rabbit leg, rabbit leg" — these moments ground the story in a tangible reality. Even though Su Zhisheng has this supernatural ability, the world around him feels incredibly concrete and real. You can smell the alley, hear the street, feel the awkwardness of a police station waiting room.
It's basicly copy of Release that witch just with renamed characters.
I just finished reading your book, and I have to say, it’s absolutely fantastic! I truly enjoyed it. I’d love to offer a few tips that might help boost the performance and visibility of your book even more. I believe these could take your work to the next level
Bro, it's Sleazy Pan, automatic 5 stars ???.
Great story line .Like the suspense and mystery that is building up.Need more chapters and words tooQuite short for a thriller story . Keep the good writing and story
I would be editing the first arc so there will not be new chapter.
Pretty sure the author wrote the name of the novel wrong it should be something like hated by god or sum like that. But it’s still really good
Author, please improve your grammar so that it would be more immersive to read them. thank you.
A really really great story so far. I really enjoy the univers and the build up that is being done.I feel that there is starting to be a lot of charaters that i mixup and it's hard to keep track of all the names. but that could also just be me.overall a really good story! keep up the great work!
Good story!? It has almost the same feel as other fantasy novels, yet it's different. Your thinking pattern is unique, great, and funny. I started thinking about you this way after you invented the toilet. lol
