Did Not Finish
September 8, 2026dnf'ed at chapter 47
The author leaned into the fantastical species (nine tailed fox and vampire) characterization for Ye Yuanhuo and Rong Huai which I thought was fun but the characters themselves just aren't for me. Ye Yuanhuo is vain and super charming which makes sense because she's a nine tailed fox but I wish there was some more depth to her character (dnf'ed halfway through so maybe she does have more depth to her character later on during the story but from what I read she didn't). She felt more like caricature than a real person. There's not much to say about Rong Huai except that he's the typical cold love interest that only has eyes for the protagonist.
I also thought that the story was much longer than what it needed to be. I got halfway through the story and I was trying to think about what has actually happened so far and came up blank. The characters and their antics were fun at the beginning but I like I'd prefer if the plot had something more going on or if the characters had more depth to them.
Overall, I wouldn't say its bad for what it sets out to be, a romance between a nine tailed fox and vampire that heavily leans onto their fantastical species traits. But it just didn't hit for me.
