"What's it like becoming a vampire?"
When Xiang Kun first sees this question on Quora, he treats the answers as nothing more than fantasy stories. Back then, he naturally never expected that it didn't take long before he had the qualifications to truly answer this question.
After he recently losing his job, Xiang Kun experiences a series of inexplicable physical and mental changes—unable to eat or drink anything other than plain water, craving for blood, shedding a layer of his skin like a snake, staying awake for days before falling fast asleep for 30 hours, feeling uncomfortable staying in the sun... He has definitely transformed into a different person, or, is he even still a human?
Driven by his determination to seek the truth, Xiang Kun embarks on a dangerous yet exciting journey to understand his identity and powers. Nevertheless, to his surprise, he seems to be the first person ever who has undergone those transformations... Is it his destiny? Why is he the chosen one? At the start, Xiang Kun doesn’t have the answers. But he refuses to give up searching.
During his self-exploration, Xiang Kun is taken by surprise by the positive effects of the changes to his body. Realizing that he can train certain parts of his body to carry out extraordinary functions, he continuously pushes his limits from building his muscle mass to enhancing his sense of smell and hearing. These “special powers” enable him to solve crimes and assist others in need. Until one day, he discovers something that gives him a lead to the cause of the changes in his body...
Can Xiang Kun uncover the truth and figure out what exactly happened to him? Will he trust anyone with his secret, or face all the challenges alone? Many mysteries and uncertainties await him.

The translation quality is great, and I don't really get confused by any strange phrases like you might see in some translations.
Stability of Updates is not really applicable, so I'm keeping it at 5 for the rating's sake.
The story development feels nice and well-paced. The MC discovers new things about himself in a natural manner, and his relationships with the people around him also develop well.
The character design is just... magnifique! Finally, an MC who isn't completely brain-dead! This guy actually thinks about the possible consequences of his actions, has flaws, works to fix said flaws and, most importantly, actually learns from his mistakes! He feels like a real person instead of a caricature!
For the world background, considering this is still only at chapter 60 because of the trial read, I'd say that it's well-developed. Anything relevant to the story gets explored pretty well, while anything unrelated gets a quick explanation before the story moves on. It's not exactly the most detailed and intricate world ever, but it's nice and simple and doesn't detract from the story.
Overall, solid 5/5, hoping this gets picked up!
its seems webnovel are trying to go off the hype of vampire stuff
It's a shame because based on what some reviews said j thought it would be a good read.
Plot summary:
Xiang Kun is a 30 year old programmer who recently lost his job because his company went bankrupt. After a long night of drinking, he blacks out and wakes up 2 days later in his apartment feeling... different. After visiting the hospital and determining he's fine, a weird series of events start to happen. First his all his teeth come out, and brand new ones start to grow back in their place, all his hair falls out, and all his skin peels off as though he's a snake going through shedding. He also determines that he is slightly stronger, and has better senses, and he no longer craves food. In fact, he vomits whenever he tries to eat. He's worried a lot at first, and thinks he's contracted a serious illness, but I'm all sure us readers know; he's become a vampire.
Things I like about the novel:
The MC is very intelligent. As soon as the changes start to happen to him, he starts logging every single change, whether its obvious things like how far he can see/hear, experimenting to see what foods he can stomach more, even though in the end they still make him vomit, to his weight, his mental stability, and his sleeping patterns. He even sets up cameras to record himself and save for his log of experimentation, like recording himself drinking blood, cutting himself to see if he regenerates, and sometimes recording himself sleeping to record his own sleeping habits. He goes through his whole change very scientifically, and I really enjoy it as this isn't something you see often in novels.
All the characters, while not fully realistically fleshed out; they are a lot better developed than most other novels. There hasn't been one 'young arrogant master' or some d*uche trying to make trouble with him yet, although he has stopped a knife waving psycho. Who i would assume to be the female lead, while we haven't seen a lot of her yet, I feel like she's developed well and funny as well since she nicknames the MC 'saitama' due to the fact that MC is super strong and is bald.
While I don't know if there will be more 'vampirical' humans besides the MC, there has been one other vampirical creature that the MC has killed and drank the blood of to grow stronger, so im interested as to where the plot will develop and how the mystery of how the MC became a vampire will get solved.
-
UNLIKE most mc's who will immediately come on the conclusion that they changed race, the mc actually thinks on why he transformed and why is he getting stronger.
-
He does research on his own body and looks up on internet. Story development in the first 54 chapters are related to mc researching his own body changes while also with some story here and there like for example a robber and a supernatural event.
-
Yes, of course the novel can't go further without anything to write about, so MC isn't the only one with the abilities he has. But for now, I say he's the only human with the 'mutations'. And yes, he drinks blood for nutritions and energy.
-
There's one potential female lead, but I dunno if it's gonna be harem - Advanced readers, please reply if you know!
