My Review of My Vampire System
I have to say that My Vampire System left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed. While I found the world-building, character development, power system, and dialogue to be average, what really stood out to me was the lack of emotional depth in the storytelling. Reading it felt like going through day-to-day events without any real investment or engagement.
Furthermore, the grammar of the novel was poor, which is surprising for a book that claims to be the number one novel on Webnovel.

I had high expectations going into it, given that even my favorite novels like Release that Witch and Reverend Insanity hadn’t reached that top spot. I was hoping for gripping storytelling, a mind-blowing plot, unique main and well-developed side characters, and something unexpected that only the best novels possess.
Unfortunately, what I found was a plain narrative with generic characters and grammatical errors. While I did appreciate the power system and found one side character to be interesting, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I shouldn’t judge the entire novel based on just 60 chapters. After all, it is the number one novel on the platform, so there must be something there that I’m missing.

With this in mind, I asked the community whether I should push myself to read more, even if it means slogging through another 90 chapters before the story supposedly gets better. As a professional reviewer, I feel it’s my duty to give the novel a fair chance, but as a reader, I’m hesitant to invest more time into something that hasn’t yet lived up to my expectations.
I asked the Community
I made posts on Facebook groups and Reddit asking: Is My Vampire System worth reading?
Let’s go through some of the comments on this Reddit post.
Read a few chapters. It was terrible to say the least.
I’m shocked people even like it a bit. I don’t mind popcorn novels but this one is fking awful. The writing in the first 50 chapters that I could muster through is appalling for a native speaker. Terrible world building – super powers are apparently common but also martial arts? But this only started recently because aliens invaded… who are also significantly more technologically advanced? The premise is so flimsy but the author just hand waves everything. Being a vampire isn’t even a cohesive power set. I’m at my wits end that it’s so popular.
I enjoy it – currently up to date on it. I’d agree with the general sentiment though, it’s not going to wow you with original ideas or crazy plot twists or really innovative writing. On the other hand, really stable updates, pacing of the story feels good, characters are generally likeable, and the world is interesting. I’d give it a read
The only reason it rank is because author literally beg for rating after every chapter and story try to monopolize on vampire hype.
It’s just a really common novel, the catch is that the mc is a vampire, so we get some interesting things from that world. It’s nothing amazing but it is worth the read, it picks up later on, just don’t expect RI or LOTM quality.

Not really xD but its a good time pass. The starting was interesting but you will get bored over time or is it just me?
It never gets bad and even at ch 492 there are still stories to tell
I hate the grammar of this novel it’s like you reading mtl
Bro, let tell u the truth, the novel is great especially from the beginning. Enjoy
Here’s the link to the Reddit post if you like to take a look.
From the replies and comments, it feels this novel is not worth reading, so the question of paying doesn’t even exist.
Now the main question: why exactly it is popular!?
Why is My Vampire System so popular?
It’s not just popular. It’s number 1.
That makes a lot of difference.
Before I say my thoughts, Let’s hear from the author himself.
I think you guys got the general idea of “Why is this novel so popular?”
It’s all about the “algorithm” and pushing the chapter releases. Like the author said quantity over quality.
Another reason can be the newbies. Webnovel has grown to be the gateway to new people who have just been introduced to the Eastern novel. To those who haven’t read any Eastern novels, they will surely come to Webnovel, a big company, and look at the top and surely choose My Vampire System.
This is one of the reasons that translated romance novels in the Webnovel are trash yet popular.

The Conclusion
If you still have doubts about whether should you read this novel or not.
How about reading the free chapters and then deciding whether you want to read further?
Ultimately, it all depends on your taste.
And we can come to the conclusion that Webnovel’s ranking system has become trash.
Thank you for taking the time to read my personal opinion on the web novel My Vampire System. As someone who values literature, I was disappointed that a highly-ranked novel did not live up to my expectations. However, it’s important to remember what doesn’t work for me may be a perfect fit for someone else.
In my conclusion, I encourage readers to give My Vampire System a chance and form their own opinions.
I want to clarify that my intention was not to spread negativity or criticism toward anyone but to share my honest thoughts on this novel. I appreciate the opportunity to express myself and engage with others who may have different perspectives.
I invite you to share your thoughts on this post and the My Vampire System web novel in the comments below.
The beginning and thought out plot may be generic but he does improvise every now and then making it less of it along the way and even so you can’t blame him it’s not like he’s been doing this for years…yes he’s been doing this kinda long but as soon as he started shining in the spot light you could tell he’s been trying his hardest I mean who breaks their thumb 5 times in 3 weeks…..look all I’m saying is he’s exceptionally committed, about his grammar..yeah it sucked but it got better the more he talked with his viewers and the longer he wrote and yes he does misspell every now and then but who doesn’t? That doesn’t make an author any less than he is…Oh and he’s native and old (no offense JSK) so it’s impressive on how fast he’s picking up english, the idea of expressing one’s emotions isn’t exactly realistic.. unless your a nother f8cked up human being..but if you take things seriously you’d keep quiet and maby the other person would be suspicious or not who knows that’s the point and you can’t lie most authors suck at showing emotion because they always go overboard with it…the only thing I hate about mvs is that sometimes he makes quin the mc act really dumb but he stopped a bit back so I’m glad …. overall ….it’s more than generic and I think people like it because of it..not to mention the cring meter is empty.
It’s power fantasy trash, but I’m also trash. I can appreciate literature that also functions as a work of art. Moby dick, The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, etc… but for every great work of art I consume, I need to chase it down with pages and pages of mind numbing, popcorn trash. My Vampire System is the exact kind of work I want to reward myself with when I feel like I’ve cultured myself sufficiently to impress at a pseudo-intellectual, hipster cocktail party.
Impressive..IF I knew anyone intellectually smart, books smart, (I read A LoT of books) but Catcher in the rye, moby dick etc … They blew me to death. So I wouldn’t go as far as reading them but I would use Internet chest sheets to come off as if I know a thing or two about them. LOL
I’ve read through the entire series and I started reading this back in 2020 or 2021 not quite sure so I’ve changed a bit between that time and it was always my comfort series to read but the ending was completely unsatisfying because it seemed like the biggest cop out spoiler warning ish but the mc fights through everything but then decided to basically off himself instead of watching his kids and family grow older and literally dips when the youngest is like 16 when he was fighting so he could have that life with his family but just cut it short bc he couldn’t take watching everyone around him grow older even when his son was probably immortal to but he didn’t care he just gave up and didn’t even ask his family what they wanted or anything the end was just rushed to get it over with and has left a bad taste in my mouth which is hard to say because this novel got me into reading in the first place it hooked me in and I fell in love with reading these types of novels
