My Pet Bat

Description

High school senior Min-kyum has been left to his own defenses after his parents kicked him out of their lives. His new house is in a shabby neighborhood, the site of several mysterious assaults that have left victims with bite marks on their necks and blood loss symptoms. After moving in, Min-kyum heads out for a meal…then somehow wakes up at home with strange marks on his neck. He tries to shrug it off, but his deskmate at the new school looks suspiciously pale and familiar…

Draining

by Pandoreye

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

I had trouble finishing this one. I thought it would be a happy cute read, but it wasn't. I didn't like any of the characters, it had way too much drama, and the color palette just made things feel off. This just drained me. Also, the vampire aspect was really unimportant to the story, which was weird. I wanted it to be a bit more supernatural.

Also, I felt like there was just zero resolution with Min-kyum's father. I wish they could have had a talk at the end.

Wasted potential

by animeangelgrl

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

This could have been so good but the lack of communication between the main characters just kind of killed it for me. I recently stumbled upon this manhwa again after a couple of years and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't remember anything about if but after re-reading a chunk of it I remember.

My frustration with the MC sleeping with his coworker for no reason just hit me way too hard. In my mind, he ruined or at least tainted his relationship with Bat Boy that I couldn't get over it for the majority of the manhwa. Just every scene with that coworker was frustrating, he just existed to throw the main couple off path and it was needless drama in a manhwa that could have been so much more.

Definitely not worth the time of reading it again. The only reason why I'm leaving this with a 7.5 is that I don't want to fully re-read it to determine if the rating needs to change.

Realistic portrayal of emotions, bad plot progression

by NanamiPyon
6 years ago

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I could appreciate how realistic the portrayal of each character's thoughts and reactions was. I see a lot of people saying it was annoying, but the MC's emotions were actually very human, which is why it was so ugly and might not appeal to younger readers who can't empathize with others.

The problem is that the main couple's development is odd, both for the reason Min Gyeom falls in love and for the circumstances under which they finally get together. Then, the ending right before the side stories is pretty sudden. Thankfully, despite the drama in the epilogues, you do get scraps of more content about them as a couple and you learn more about Chun Sam's parents, who are one of the best additions to the narrative.

Before concluding this comment, I'd like to remark that the art uses very dead colors and there often aren't any backgrounds, giving the world an empty and hollow feeling. This dead atmosphere improves towards the end of the story, but it's still a fault worth mentioning.

It's alright, hormones drove me nuts

The fucking MC and his BF fucking cry like every other page. Probably even more than females with depression on their periods. Was some of the crying warranted? Sure, but much of it was really unnecessary and annoying af.

Heartbreaking and then Heartwarming

by fisukisuki

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

There's a lot Heartbreaking moments! From Flashback to Present to Future (aka the Extra Chapters). But all Conflicts is Cleared or Solved. So it was all Good at the end. It was HEAVY in the Drama and Emotions rather than about the Vampire thing. But everything is Well Written and Well Drawn. I admit that there's certain part of the Translation that wasn't translated well so it might confusing certain parts. But it was all bearable.
All the Good Characters is Enjoyable and Likable in the end. They all are realistic in the way they all have flaws and all, but still a Good Character. The arts is Absolutely Great from the start till the end.
Seriously, This Manhwa is Absolutely AMAZING!!! Not only about Feelings and Vampire things, it was also about Bad Family and the Family of Choice. The Family moments were Heartbreaking at the beginning, and very much Heartwarming at the middle to the end. If you read this Manhwa, you will understand what i mean. It was So Amazingly Wonderfully SO GOOD!!!
Absolutely RECOMMENDED!!!

If only there wasn't such a drop in scanlation quality

by OmNom
7 years ago

Rating: N/A

I can't really make an acurate comment on this webtoon because unfortunately it took a nose-dive hit when its first scanlation team ceased to operate after chapter 36 and it never quite returned to be fully comprehensible ever again (that is to say, the online fan translations from chapter 37 onward were complete and utter shit). I followed through to the end only to satisfy my curiosity, but I refuse to acknowledge that I ever read chapter 37 to 86 at all since I couldn't understand jackshit about any lines or dialogues. I just hate it when this happens urgh.

what are you all going on about this was great

this is like the first time ive seen manga/manhwa whatever have a character that experienced abuse and deal with it realistically.

like the regular plot that yall are used to where once they feel loved their issues are fixed is so unrealistic. learning to accept love and support is a long difficult process. yes of course all the drama is "self inflicted". it comes from the CONFLICT of being an ABUSE victim and as with literally ALL STORIES conflicts need to be ACTUALLY RESOLVED and arent fixed because you fall in love. he had to learn to accept kindness and love. he had to learn to feel secure and not constantly suspect that all "good feelings" were temporary and would eventually crash down. the author referenced the abuse and rejection Min Gyeom experienced as a child SO MANY TIMES. all the times he felt any comfort with his father eventually became rejection. he learned to feel unworthy of love, to feel that it was all temporary... so of course (!!!!!) he took a long long time to accept Chun Sams love. and the love of his parents. like thats how these kinds of things work!

i loveddddd this story so so so much and i loved the main character, i think he was the best portrayal of abuse victim ive seen in a manga/manhwa ever. i think its really sad that everyone found his healing annoying and stupid

Not bad

by varianthart

Rating: N/A

I actually liked this. There was a lot of drama, but honestly it mostly felt like realistic relationship drama. Maybe it's hard to relate to for those who haven't had any/many relationships, but it genuinely felt relatable. Way more relatable than I expected a story about vampires to be.

Of course the MC was creating his own problems. That's what people do. If no one ever created problems, then every relationship would be perfect forever. That isn't real life and it's not super enjoyable to read either. In the end, they grew up a little and learned how to be more open and to support each other.

It didn't suck..?

by Kurarara

Rating: N/A

This will be a rant comment. There is no need for you dear reader to take my comment at face value.

Which certainly means not to take other comments seriously either.

I don't understand the negative comments.
I think it was pretty obvious the webtoon would take this route.
I don't get why everybody hates it? I think the execution was good. There was enough foreshadowing, and their actions were very understandable.
It isn't that melodramatic as most of the shit that everybody seems to love so much. I was expecting some shitty, terribly written webtoon, but I think it was actually good enough.

And this thing about "saving himself" and shit?? Everybody is going on about how cliche it was, but him getting into an affair like this was actually a refreshing twist. He was going through an emotional instability, and there was this "reliable" dude next to him who seduced and manipulated him. He is human, what do you expect?? He was jealous of Sam, and also deeply scarred from getting used like this as a child. I agree it was melodramatic and annoying at times, but definitely not as terrible as everybody claims it to be lol.

Pretty sure most of those people would enjoy having Geyom raped by Sam cuz, hey at least his first would be Sam, amirite?

Also, he is a girl cuz he cry? How sexist is that?
