The title suggests it's the story of a guy, the "mc", having a vampire sugar mommy, yet it's about everything but him. We barely see him and when we do he is irrelevant to the events. The world is built around the sugar mommy and that Tessa chick rather than the MC. The title would have been more accurate had it been "I, a kindred, became the sugar mummy of mortal", as the mc is clearly not the mc of the story.

Well, it seems like the author was inspired by Solo Leveling and Arifureta. So maybe you will like it. I have reached chapter 33, and there are so many problems already, the most blatant one being the personality of the MC (which I think is one of the most important elements in a story). It's not a spoiler since it's basically the beginning (33 chapters out of 1700 is nothing). The MC is trapped in a dungeon, and even tho he was useless all his life, somehow he manages to kill some monsters to level up (while we know for a fact that he was unable to kill anything on his own before, he had to rely on his girlfriend or killsteall from other hunters), then he learns a skill that helps him consume monster to get really op. Well, he forges a personality based on his desire to survive. But chapters later, he just becomes a battle-freak (which is the kind of mc I despise honestly). So which is it ? Is he a survivalist or battle maniac ? Cannot be both since they are by definition opposite to one another... Also I have read in some comments that this op mc (he really is, he got many titles and many firsts from the system which makes him leagues ahead of anyone on Earth at the same level), who somehow is a better swordsman after 2 years of training than a fucking samurai who was a swordmaster even before the introduction of the system (yeah, really), well his OPness seems to be matched by his girlfriend who had nothing special to begin with. Idk how true it is but people did not correct the guy who said that. That's a real turnoff imo. Dropping this waste of time.

Yet the super genius immediately accepted, even tho "he would need time to implement most of the demands".

Based on actual history or not, it does not matter as long as the human kind is portrayed. Humans are always the same. That Ruthenia is a vast state constituted by many ethnocentric nations (URSS), the moment you force through democracy in such a state, everything will fall apart since every single ethnic/religious group would want to be independent (just like the URSS). So the MC is very very naive to immediately accept such a proposition. Also, the main problem is not autocracy for the people of Ruthenia, but their living standards. Who says their situation will get better once they adapt the western democratic system of our world ? The "super genius" should have known that some greedy agenda was being pushed by the priest, since the latter basically said :"We are starving, so to make our situation better give most of your political power". I don't think I will read after this point but if I were the priest, I would have the same demands, knowing that if accepted, I as the representative of the protest would have gained most of the power after the changes.

-Writing quality : nothing to say here. Pretty well written/edited. My only problem is the repetitions while describing things. -Story development : ok here is the deal. There are times where the story progresses relatively well, with time skips and everything. We know things are moving. But there are also times where the story barely progresses for a hundred chapters. You would tell me it's not what devines story progression and I would agree but in this context, the characters have long lifespans (nearly 500 years for demons and more than 100 years for humans) so it makes no sense to compress everything, it just halts the story. -Character Design : MC was very good for the first half of the story. But around chapter 300 everything changed. Before he was calculative, intelligent and cunning but afterwards he became a softy and a guy who only thinks with his dick. Literally, after chapter 300 the story became just like a generic Chinese harem seeking cultivation novel. His most hate enemies are hated forever if they are males and added to the harem if they are females. Talking about the females : at first they were distinct from each other, each their own personality and agenda. But after the introduction of the Harem tag around chapter 300, they all became the same generic harem females who are content as long as the guy "loves" them. That's the harem effect at its finest, just ruins anything it touches. -Updating stability : it's ok. -World background : very interesting world. It's basically a Solo Leveling type world in the perspective of the monsters. They have their own world and we see the actions of hunters from the perspective of the demons. Quite cool but ruined by poor choices from the author.

The point is that it's not our Earth, their world is a cultivation world at war against invading aliens. So there is no peace and strength is all that matters. Now having a fun childhood as the heir of the strongest family of humanity would lead to weakness and you probably either be killed easily by the enemies or assassinated/disposed by the other family members who have eyes on the seat of power. Either option is bad for parents so it makes no sense for the mother to not train her kid knowing it endangers him.

This is not my review yet, I just wanted to share my opinion so far, 2 dozen chapters in. For now, everything seems to be ok except one thing : the writing style. I suspect the novel is partially written or is assisted by AI. There are too many repetitions and the descriptions are too complex for no reason. [Author-sama, if my suspicion is not true, you can ignore everything I say] Personally IDC if it's AI assisted, just make sure to read the chapter after it is edited by the AI and refine it to get rid of unnecessary descriptions and repetitions.

[SPOILER] A mc with an advanced army technically wins a war against the whole world united against him, but when he gets even more advanced he is basically hopeless against a very destituted and useless villain which should have been removed of the face of the planet in seconds. Dude controls everything in the world, has super complex intelligence AIs yet he is unaware of simple rebel/terrorist activities. They somehow manage to attack thousands of locations at the same time without any of the AIs seeing something weird (same AIs that managed to detect an alien spaceship heading towards Earth without its light even reaching them yet). The plots are very forced and even though it was a good read until chapter 400, it just became stupid at that point.

Let's say he gave a fake name, in your opinion yall, how would he then bank the big check with a fake name ? The world is not some Hollywood movie in which he can just get cash delivered to a secret meeting point lol. Even if they do, he would then need a money laundering system to put the illegal cash in the legit bank account. Then if he gets suspected a tiny bit, he would become a criminal hunted by the FBI and whatever other specialized agency of the US. Game over.

nope. Ever heard of the FX 8370 ? I had one and I swear in winter I didn't even need to turn on the heaters of the room.
