I looked into the psychology of the “fast pass” system and it’s really cool how it can turn reading into a game in which you get a hit of dopamine not only from the story but also from unlocking the next chapter. In the case of My Vampire System, a story about a game-like system, the meta-layer is almost funny. By gamifying the consumption of a gamified story, the platform has created a sort of double game which can be enjoyed by the user who is able to see through it or it can be seen as manipulative and be resented by the user. I chose to lean into it and set little goals for myself to read in certain amounts and then I would reward myself with the next chapter of the story. The experience of reading My Vampire System was more engaging on another level because it was no longer just reading a story, I was participating in a structure that I had set up for myself. Not everyone will enjoy this but for those who do enjoy progression in games, they may find this aspect of the website to be strangely satisfying.

I’m basically a formalized version of an individual with strong moral grounds against the downloading of pirate copies of independently published content (including web novels). Such authors work for pennies and rely on reader support; ‘My Vampire System’ presumably is supported by its author through Patreon, ads, and/or platform subscription fees. Ripped audiobooks to be downloaded for free need to be avoided. Just because a story can be freely read in a web novel format does not mean that an audio version of that story should be downloaded for free. If one enjoys a web novel enough to look for an audio version of it, then that creator should be paid for that additional content. Buy it at a sale, borrow it from a library, or send the author a few bucks via Ko-fi even if all one can find is a free fan-dubbed audio version of the whole novel of interest. Sustainable creativity requires a sustainable audience.

If you’re looking for more books of a similar nature to Fitzpatrick’s work, then the read-alike lists on Goodreads are pure gold! ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ and ‘Along for the Ride’ by by Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen respectively are excellent choices as are ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’ and the rest of the Monty Leo series by Morgan Matson. Whilst nothing can quite compare to the unique voice of Huntley Fitzpatrick, I hope these recommendations will help to fill the void left by the two connected novels by this incredible author.

There is no sequel. The book is listed as a single title on all retail platforms. It has a clear beginning, middle, and end, and the central conflict of the book—Rion bullying Hunter until Hunter claims him back—is completely and fully resolved. In order for a sequel to be as strong as this book, it would require a second conflict of similar depth and magnitude, which would be difficult to create organically. I would recommend reading this book as a single, complete story and then seeking out other single-title novels by this author, as well as his other series, if you enjoy his writing style. Fans will want more of this book simply because it is so engaging and emotional, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there needs to be more.

Hopefully the book will get a sequel because I really want to see more of the characters. The author has created such great chemistry between the main characters in this book. As for this book though, I feel like the ending was more of a pause than a conclusion to the story. The author did a great job of mixing the very raunchy scenes with real growth of the characters. I am hoping that there are already drafts for a possible sequel in the works, until then I will just have to go back and re-read some of my favorite parts hoping that the author will take the story in a direction that I imagine such as a time jump or maybe a new character moving in next door and causing fit for the main characters.

The fan-art inspired by the extras for the book is also amazing. Once you read the domestic moments with the extras for Lu Feng, An Ze, etc. You’ll see tons of fan-art of them in casual clothes, Lu Feng with a plant, An Ze with a plant, them cooking together, etc. All of these draw out the characters in more relaxed settings and once again bring more depth to the story. These can also give off a “sequel” vibe and artists interpret the little moments given in the extras in tons of creative and loving ways. So, after reading an extra chapter, scrolling through the tag for the extras on Pixiv or Twitter is another way to extend your experience of the story. The fans’ visual creativity can actually build upon the foundation provided by the author of the story. And it’s all so vibrant and living. So, if you do find the extras, be sure to check out the related fan-art as well. It gives you a glimpse into the characters’ daily lives that words can’t give.

An ultimate “deal with the devil” story, where instead of the usual dark lord, the main antagonist is a flaky RPG system. The NTR system trades off in an evil fashion, but the hero just happens to have a higher value for his “talent” than normal, so he’s just best at this stuff.
So the ‘Suffering’ resource that others may have stored away might be generated by the Protagonist in especially intense and emotional scenes. This resource can then be used to cast the more powerful versions of his ability. The talent of the Protagonist could act as a multiplier for his ability to generate this special resource.
The result is an unusual pacing where moments of intense drama are also moments of resource gathering for the character. Rather than simply reading through a scene of the character dealing with heartbreak, for example, he is grinding for Grief Crystals. The unusual blend of genres to create this world is, to some people’s minds, fascinating in its audacity.

I really hope not. I got to enjoy the drama and all the "education" behind the story just like every other reader, but like I said before, the story has reached its end. You don't have to create a franchise with every successful series. That author should use his or her talent for art and storytelling for a new, completely different series with brand new characters. Rehashing the same dynamics of previous characters would get stale very fast. The initial premise of the series was very charming and had a lot of potential in how far it could be stretched. But in the end, there's only so far you can go before you start crossing lines that you don't want to cross. And once you've crossed those lines, where do you go from there? More secrets? More characters? It'd just be another way for the author to try to make some more cash off of the series. And I'm pretty sure most fans would be able to tell when they're being ripped off. Just let it be a very memorable, very controversial, but complete work.

It’s hard to recommend any website that tries to sell you a full-length novel for free and does tons of ads. See if your local library has the novel on their apps like Libby or Hoopla. Translated novels can be purchased for libraries by the publisher for the novel as e-books. Even if the novel isn’t in your library, you might be able to check out the original novel from the author’s official site that has a free first chapter (note that many novels are hosted on sites with a hybrid model of free and paid content). You can always add the novel to your bookmarks on other reputable novel aggregators, and use an adblocker in the mean time.
Until better options come along, I'd recommend bookmarking some reliable aggregators and using an ad blocker.

The Kindle's user interface for audiobooks is minimal and easy to use. In addition to the typical play/pause button, there is a button that skips forward or back 30 seconds, and a button to change the speed of the book. Unlike the Audible app for Kindle, there is no equalizer, no sleep timer, etc. All of that would make the interface for audio on the Kindle more like that of a music or video player, which is not what the Kindle is. Instead, it is an excellent reader, and the interface for audiobooks reflects that. It is simple and unobtrusive, and does not take away from the experience of listening to the content of the book you are reading.
