Description

Some destinies are big enough for even death to keep its distance. Reggiewas not an important person, quite the opposite. He was the town lunatic, hated by all and less than an afterthought to the elves ruling over his people. That changed when he was killed to keep a secret, and his death didn't stick. Returning from the grave as a vampire, he scrambles to keep himself fed and living while trying to make sense of his new place in the world. But the fear of dying again quickly becomes secondary. It will take all of Reggie's will to maintain his humanity in a world that already thinks he's lost it. What to expect: - Weak to powerful MC- Slow burn- Heavy character writing and world-building- Kingdom building (EVENTUALLY)- A moral decline as our hero adjusts more and more to his new existence... Schedule: - Saturday- Sunday- Monday

It's compelling to read and I like main character, as well as side characters. Composition of world is kind of different than usual, with elven and vampire baronies, and elves being too conceited to be wise like they usually are in stories. Vampire barons aren't that much better but that's a different point. They clash. Anyways, it's fun to read and I really like Reggie and Ludvich. Especially Ludvich. Always fun to read grumpy people.

I won't be talking too much in regards to grammar because I believe the author has this down pat and I couldn't spot any major mistakes, but I wanted to instead talk about the things which I think makes the story great. First and foremost is that the sprinkled humor is quite entertaining throughout the chapters, and its something I've found this author does quite well consistently without any of the jokes feeling "forced" or "marvel-y".The quotes at the start of each chapter is something I find rich and flavorful which helps add a ton of depth to the setting itself, while the main character is sympathetic and his journey from being a "nobody" to a "somebody" is gripping as he goes from a "classless" into an "inheritor". One thing which I really think is being done well is the overall thematics of the story being called "eat them all" where a pauper character is promptly embraced with power and the gradual moral decline that often accompanies such things.I am a firm believer as well in strategic breaking of a setting's pre-established rules to create conflict and intriguing plotline is wielded well here, and I hoping to see more of it continue as time goes on.

Across Royal Road, there are a LOT of different vampire type fictions that have been published over the years. There are some that are legitimately enjoyable but often times I find the characters, story, and writing half baked and shallow. Eat Them All was a very pleasant surprise to me and I have enjoyed each and every chapter that has been published so far.
Vampire fictions are already difficult to do with the baggage that they often carry, but working on comprehensive world building along side actually investing in an interesting and engaging storyline and character arcs? This story is definitely going above and beyond my initial expectations when I started reading.
the litrpg elements are all carefully thought out and integrated into the world building and character interactions. This is presented along side the fact that much of the monsters/adversaries are incredibly unique in a genre that is filled with authors doing their best to provide unique reading experiences to their audience.
I highly recommend this story to all readers that are likewise addicts of litrpg and actually interested in realistic character development rather than the shallow zero to sixty murder hobo introductions that have become so prevalent.
My only complaint is the name, but that’s mostly a me problem.

So far the story has been great, the MC while ignorant to a lot of ways of the world is clever in his own way, misses some things for sure but it’s believable when he does. We haven’t seen much of the world but looking forward to seeing other towns or cities and the differences. The class system and vampire system are interesting and looking to see how he evolves as the story goes on! Great job author

This book surprised me it’s typically not the genre I’m drawn to and quite enjoyed this book, liked the world and the main character is interesting and likeable without being and edgelord dbag interested to see how the story and character evolve finished this in a day and find myself thirsty for more.

This book has a little bit of a slow start to build some background and characters (which I like). Then it starts to dive into opening up the story.
The setting is cool, the story is great so far with several unanswered questions.
Really enjoyable to read through it and get pulled in a few directions.

My only complaint is the same complaint i have with ALL Vampire media on this site especially. No one ever portrays real Vampiric protagonist, or are their ever ACTUAL villainous protagonists, even with the Villainous Tag is applied.
At this point, i feel like people think Villainous is some form of Emo-Goth. Disney-Villain as it were. All angst and negative rumination, no action, or when there is action its against bad guys.
Really feels like there is a trend to tactlessly, and intentionally misuse the tag Villainous simply to attract more readers looking for said genre.
-----
The story is GOOD though, writing and plot are stellar actually. Really, REALLY just wish people used tags correctly, or honestly.

Interesting take on the vampire monster progression but one thing is bugging me off that I'll go with in a spoiler :
Overall, the worldbuilding is very cool, a very grimdank take on a high fantasy system world.
Grammar is ok, and the style is very easy to read, i was able to binge 40-somthing chapters in one evening
The characters, however, are not the strongest point of the story :
The major problem with this story for me so far is, besides the fantasy take on schizophrenia, that the MC is presented as a very resourceful, almost scholar, alchemist very early in the story. He builds explosives and other alchemicals and use them, and that's the reason he is killed. That's, to me, the main skill of the MC : technology. Once he is turned however ? all of that went out the window, the story leaning only in the monster aspect of being a vampire.
I am very frustrated with that.
Ultimately, I recommend to read it, because it is a cool story, with a lot to yet discover, and a cool grimdank take on vampires, with some light dark comedy sprinkled on top.

First I want to say I love this concept. A vampire actually slowly losing humanity is good, and isn’t the usual I will stay good or immediate murderhobo. It is very will written so far with the world and characters feeling fresh as well as a well written system and unique take o now to bring dialogue to a lone wolf type character. My only problem is the character forgoing so many abilities. He uses his beast form as a one size fits all solution. Barely touching his blood magic and charisma. It feels the author wants a strength based character, and the class makes it feel like the character is weak, and using its beast form as a crutch. If it included more blood magic and more use off the uniqueness of his class, I think the story would elevate to next level

The MC is a sympathetic and interesting character. The world is currently very small but I'm intrigued in where it's being taken. The only thing to be aware of is that this could rapidly become an over-powered protagonist scenario and has all the framing to do so.
But, so far the main character being weaker than his main opponents leads to satisfying stakes and concerns.
