Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 238

CONCEPTUALIZATION AND TITLE

Originally, the title of this story was “I summoned the strongest Servant in the Kingdom”, which seemed like an action male lead novel ????.

But then for the sake of the Webnovel Spirity Awards contest, I added Vampires and Werewolves into the theme, and upon discussion with my previous Webnovel content editor Qianyu, it was changed into “Taming My Vampire Servant”.

As some of you had suspected, yes, this book is also inspired by the famous Fate series. <3

WORLD BUILDING

INSPIRATION FOR DRESSES/OUTFITS/COSTUMES

Most of the outfits are medieval and Victorian era -inspired! Some casual outfits, however, are inspired by American outfits in the 1950s. I also started including lolita/gothic dresses upon the introduction of Anastasia.

CHARACTERS

I made Sigmund into such a stubborn guy, and the type that says some harsh words but acts sweetly. I think that kind of guy is cute ????

Ivory, on the other hand, is somewhat a more complex character than Sigmund. To be honest, I like her upfront character more ???? And I enjoyed making the love scenes when Sigmund’s the bottom one ????

For Lucius’ fans, sorry, but from the start, I really intended to make him Ivory’s half-brother ???? I made him as a good boy and a family-oriented person. If I were to choose someone I wanted to marry, it’ll be him ???? (oof sorry, Sigmund)

Arcea is the type of person that some of us might have already met. The kind of friend who likes gossips ???? Although she’s a true friend, she’s annoying, but that’s part of her personality ????

Goddess Destinia as Anastasia is someone I only added at the far end of the story, but I enjoyed making her character. ???? (Sorry, Lucius, I know you like the Goddess herself, but you can’t have her ????)

AFTERSTORY

At first, there was no “afterstory” special chapters, but when I was creating Ivory and Sigmund’s son, Obelius, a plot came to my mind like magic ????

The other afterstory chapters are all those stories which were untold in the main story. So I decided to upload them as extra chaps because I think they should be revealed.

WHY ARE THE R18 SCENES TOO MUCH?

Is it? Then apologies, I got carried away ???? Compared to my other book, “Caring for Mr. Mutant”, this has quite a lot. Actually, I didn’t expect it when I made the plot, but Sigmund’s and Ivory’s affection are just too much to handle ????

WHY ARE THERE PLENTY OF WEREWOLVES, BUT SIGMUND IS THE ONLY VAMPIRE?

The Vampires are in Heaven ???? If I have more time, I’d let them descend to the kingdom as well and open up the Vampires’ arc, but apologies if that plan was not pushed through (maybe if there is a 2nd book? lol)!

Me and my editor are crawling into piles of work from our day job ????

YOU FINISHED THIS BOOK, SO YOU MUST LOVE VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES?

Nope, I don’t lol This is the first time I did a theme like this! Now that I’ve finished, I realized it’s not really my thing ????

But the experience is quite refreshing. It’s always great to try something new!

FINALLY, <iridescentdream> and <AinaWang>’s MESSAGES:

<iridescentdream>:   First of all, I want to thank AinaWang for choosing me as the editor for her story. To be honest, it’s been so long since I’ve written a story, so giving me this opportunity is such an honor. I’ve learned things in the process, especially that it’s also my first time editing a fantasy-romance story. Though describing some scenes, and many outfits and weapons was hard, I really enjoyed writing them.

Next, I want to thank everyone who supported and read Taming My Vampire Servant. Taming My Vampire Servant’s already finished, but their love story and adventure will always remain in our hearts.

Lastly, if you’re into romance, I would like to promote my first ever story ‘The Hot Barista is Actually a Samurai’. It has a male lead, set in Japan.

Thanks again, and I hope you continue supporting AinaWang throughout her journey as an author here in Webnovel!

<AinaWang>: Oh my goddess, dear Readers, I am so happy that you’ve managed to finish the book! (Although I don’t know if you have unlocked this chapter lol)

Those past several months that I had written this book are very special to me. While writing VampireServant, I was in the middle of having beginner’s creative writing classes, and so it was tough for me to adapt to a proper writing technique.

One of the most challenging parts was having to balance the day job and web novel job. And so I practiced the work-life balance a lot, doing all the office work in the office, so that I can have my free time at home. I apologize for having all those upload delays due to personal reasons. I hope you all understand!

Thank you everyone for your support. I hope you can support my other books as well. I have novels with other genres like sci-fi romance and teen romance (see my Webnovel profile for complete list). <3
