Another pancakes novel where the mc gets ridiculously strong in an extreme fast manner by eating their way to the pinnacle while collecting cute girls along the way woohoo it is even a VAMPIRE and a DRAGON just to max out the edginess yet it's also done in a way that he has a proper reason to be this species not just reincarnated as a vampire dragon cuz its cool also despite the fact that the title looks extremely edgy the mc actually has a mostly "innocent" mindset due to his lack of experience and while he had tragic backstory and his future looks grim i expect he is going to have an extremely fulfilling life if you have a tragic story fetish read [world traveler] and if you want an "evil bad guy" mc go read [vampire overlord] both are novels from pancakes if you want to understand the pancakesverse then read all her novels each novel mentions small tidbits here and there that explain a lot of things in her other novels an example is that i know the mc of this novel is related to the mc of epic of caterpillar but you can only figure out why if you read most of eoc

LIKEThanks for the review. Honestly, at this point I'd rather edgy over innocent after reading "Cultivation Online", at least with edgy I can decide if I like or don't. With innocent you ready 350 chapters waiting for the MC to grow up and it never happens, beyond any level of logic or realistic growth he remains the child he is to a degree it starts to seem like legitimate brain damage that prevents emotional growth.
Dunno if you still read it, but recent events in Cultivation Online are forcing Yuan to grow up in all sorts of ways.
so can anybody tell me the tidbits I missed from vampire overlord I just started reading the series and have caught up to current on vampire dragon and ice dragon but if vampire overlord is like you said evil bag guy I'm good I'm already not entirely okay with good but not good and bad but not bad so I'm gonna not read that one so can I get the bits of the universe that I'm not gonna get from not reading
This isn't a harem. If you don't read the description and imagine it to be monogamous. I mean I love harem in stories. IF THEY ARE DONE RIGHT! Like World domination system stem where he has 2 girls he is married to but no other interest. Then there is Arifureta From commonplace to world's strongest. A proper mid/large harem of a diverse sort but he takes time to know each and every one if them properly and never forgets any if them even if he does have those he spends more time with due to having known them longer and their respective abilities. So many novels have the mc picking girls up like they are used gum under a chair in the most disgusting of schools or public places and then use them once or twice for a tiny mini ark or just a few chapters and they may never even be seen again until another 100-200 chapters go by. And then the author might just maybe... MAYBE remember they exist while going through a character list or chart and then drop them in for a few chapters just to remind you they even exist even though you likely forgot their character entirely by then. IDK how this became a massive rant...

The mc has to care about them all instead of collecting them like buying Pokémon cards then tossing the inexpensive ones in search of some shiny unique thing...

rest assured no pancakes novel has a mc neglecting their love interest/harem although some tend to be treated like side characters it is not the disposable kind bit the i can't find screen time for them type they would often get chapters and fights where they are the focus
Well, 9 months and 600+ chapters later, Yuan finnally grows a backbone and takes up the personality of the divine paragon. Now just another 1000+ chapters and he’ll actually remember one past life of dozens.
