=====================================================================

Vampires are creatures of the night that fulfill their desires from dusk till dawn. Inhabiting the dark caves of the Kazimir mountains, the other races mostly disregard the unintelligent bloodthirsty creatures.

Damien Nightshade, third in line to the vampire throne, a descendant of an S-rank existence, is ostracized by his siblings and forced to leave the comfort of the caves. How will this germophobic, lazy, bloodthirsty vampire fit within the human realm?

This is Damien's dilemma as he awakens in a vampire’s body inside a familiar room, one belonging to a villain in the popular VR game "Throne and Awakening".

Damien considers himself a veteran of the game; he knew the game's storyline better than anyone with five years of experience and thousands of hours. Yet the internet wouldn't agree with him. A true veteran had to complete the game as the character "Damien Nightshade", the vampire prince hated by all living existences.

With the game world becoming reality and with knowledge of the storyline. Damien must venture out to avoid the many death flags looming over his head and seize every opportunity awaiting him.

But first, maybe he should deal with his maid, who silently plots his murder while he sleeps.

This tale is set in a magical world with a heavy emphasis on kingdom building, twisted nobles, and gruelling politics with sprinkles of magic, mystery, and the occasional action scene. Throne and Awakening is a world packed with danger around every corner. Join Damien as he attempts to navigate this terrifying world with the knowledge he should not possess and atypical powers that have no business belonging to a Vampire.

      Status: chapter 27

      This is a very well-written novel. The characters are interesting and don't just fit the few cliche templates that we are so used to seeing in other novels.

      But I have a problem. I wanna preface this with I don't think just cause I dislike a plot or arc, that automatically means it is bad but I think this goes beyond just that.

      The "Traits" oh god, they drive me up the wall. Quick rundown if you haven't started the novel (this information is revealed in the first chapter or so), the main character has "traits" in his character panel like "Lazy" and "Nobel". Despite the name, these are not inherent qualities that the MC has, but instead schizophrenic-like voices in his head that force him to act certain ways.

      Now, I personally already dislike this as it feels like he's being practically mind-controlled, no better than the blood slaves he thinks so poorly of. Now, this isn't enough to lower the rating, but the character's response to this is ridiculous in my opinion. He's seemingly vaguely annoyed it rather than super angry or afraid like anyone reasonably would when your body and mind are not remotely under your control.

      Normally this could entirely destroy the novel for me but the plotline, characters, and interactions are super well done, especially for an author with only a few novels under his belt so I'm gonna try my hardest to continue to read and I encourage anyone reading this to also give it a shot even if you agree with my complaints.

      Status: 6. the hidden potential of psychokinesis

      Maybe the story gets better but the summary miss-sells it and the base character for the MC is the worst I've ever come across. 

      The summary makes vampires in general sound dark and strong and the MC to be an expert. What we get instead is a weak suicidal vampire with a fire specialty, why not practice some holy or light magic while you're at it? His germaphobe trait is nonsense. On one side he's a person who now drinks other peoples blood to live, a sure way to catch a disease. On the other hand, he's a vampire, completely incapable of catching a disease or getting sick, so why is he a germaphobe? A clean freak would have made sense but that's not what happened.

      Then there's his whole knowledgeable expert thing from having played the game and the character before. He knows some stuff but it's not very useful when he himself is an unstable wacko. He's taken the place of the vampire but carries grudges for things characters will do to the vampire character he's now playing. Things they only do because the vampire in the original story is a right asshole to them and deserves it. So what does he do, he acts like a right asshole and basically goes about trying to propagate the problems from the original story.

      Spoiler

      He's a completely unstable bitch around his personal maid and has no plan to win her over or control her. He's irrationally hostile to her even though his original vampire host deserved said hostility for killing her family and yet implements no measures to control her beyond some unrealistic commands that couldn't be followed through with. He's literally an unstable irrational ret*rd looking for his own death.

      [collapse]

      Then there's the MC's supposedly good ideas. Things like using his gloves that he's reluctant to even take off in the bath to give away and broadcast what he's doing with telekinesis. Like propelling a wagon with a convoluted telekinesis plan that shouldn't actually make doing so easier. Something that will still leave him drained, tired, out for more blood and isn't necessary in the first place.

      Went in hoping for a dark calm and collected vampire lord. Where even if he was weaker he would use his knowledge to get everyone under his thumb and dancing to his tune. A character with that dark vampire charisma. Where people know associating with him is dangerous but they can't help themselves anyway. But instead everything from the MC's looks to actions scream spoiled 12 year old Edgelord with a need to 'look cool' via the least interesting clichés/tropes.

      Already been reading the authors novels since day one. Although he dropped his first one for the understandable reason of it being not very well planned out this one has had a drastic leap in quality. I cant say much about the plot yet because the novel only has a few chapters for now but the characters seem interesting and have depth to them. It's an interesting premise and I'll be here to see where it will go.

      MC out of the ordinary does not get carried away and is aware that he could die at any time, he tries to plan everything in detail, he will try everything in his power for his goals even if he has to deceive, maybe my humor is a bit crooked but. There are times when it makes you smile. You can see the improvement of the author throughout the chapters and that is something very nice, the growth as an author as the story progresses.

      Good. Hard for me to complain. Pretty much what I want out of an villian vampire isekai. Just wish their was some s*xual/intimate scenes written with the female lead instead of it being suggested/skipped.

      Well written, thought out, and implemented. 

      Most importantly; each chapter has a purpose in progressing the story, and parts weave together flawlessly. 

      This is one of the few novels I have found recently where I will remember what the goal is after not reading it for a week. Very clear on the direction the story is going, but slowly revealing the path to get there with every chapter.

      The novel has just barely started but so far it looks like it'll be a fun ride. The characters seem interesting and so does the world. This review might contain minor spoilers but since I haven't read all that much, it shouldn't be too bad.

      Spoiler

      So far I really like the MC, he got reincarnated as Damien Nightshade who is both not a very powerful vampire and a slaughterer which makes him at odds with pretty much any living being. The MC has been reincarnated as Damien and has both traits from his original side and some less than appealing traits from Damien such as bloodlust and being a bit of an ass in general. The only real side character we've seen is Fay, his bloodslave, who hates him and, in the game, goes as far as killing him by stabbing him a lot. More depth has already been added to her character via a minor pov shift and by explaining some of her circumstances which make her a more compelling character. The world obviously isn't all that much currently but it has the potential to be developed quite well. There seems to be political intrigue in that his bloodslave is being hunted by her upcoming husband and him beng hunted by his brother for being a worthless noble vampire.

      [collapse]
      TL;DR it's fun, go read.

      I would rate this 4.5/5; I am submitting this as 5/5 because I would like to see this maintain a high average rating overall. I strongly recommend reading this story. This review contains no spoilers.

      Positive aspects/strong points to this story:

      1) The story flows very well. There is good scene-to-scene transition and description.

      2) The world-building is solid, providing plenty of detail to allow a reader to visualize what is happening without becoming boring. Further, details of the world are either utilized quickly or are proper building blocks for a later scene.

      3) The story takes an innovative approach to the Isekai genre, developing a character as he struggles with the preconceptions of the world he has entered.

      4) Character development is clearly laid out for the most part. I have noted a few times where there may have been a discrepancy, but in general the characters do not make sudden or unreasonable changes. Development is definitely thought out and there is a reasonable sense of time flow.

      5) The story has a very good pace. The culmination of everything above, it is well-crafted and as a reader, the pace feels just right.

      Not-so-strong point/area for improvement as of the time of this review:

      1) Character expressiveness. While there is good description of the personalities and development, the actual language used by the characters does not always fit. The reason I consider this significant is due to the MC being a noble and often the language is not befitting of such. It takes a bit away from the flavor in the midst of an otherwise well-described world.

      2) Innovative, but not necessarily original. I know this is a difficult aspect to get around, but I want to put it forward. There are themes which are easily identified as inspirations from other sources. This does not detract from the overall quality of the story, but I feel it should be known to someone thinking of picking this up.

      I am going to continue reading this, as the quality continues to improve and the story itself is very engaging.

      Probably the best novel I've ever read. I highly recommend this if you're into gory scenes, villainous characters, and descripive scenarios. I'm loving this so far I'm looking forward to seeing more of this amazing novel.
