This Damned Thirst for Survival

The main couple took the phrase 'Keep your friends close but your enemies closer' LITERALLY. These two 'enemies' have much more spark and are much more intimate than any of the top lovey-dovey novels out there. (ABO novels would give them a run for their money though!) Both of the main characters are cynical, conniving, deceitful, selfish beings that's why they are a match made in hell. The only person that downgraded the quality of this novel is the translator. Good thing the new translator will re-translate this book so that I can read it again（〜^ω^)〜. Here are a few recommendations like this book; Folklore's #1 Boss (Ongoing), Thriller Trainee (Ongoing), Welcome to the Nightmare Live (Ongoing) and The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked [Not translated (╯︵╰) ].

I kept looking forward for their eventual romantic scenes or developments when I started reading this because of that synopsis, BUT D*MN the storylines are seriously f*ck*ng good! Maybe I'm overhyping it since it's actually my first time reading this type of novel and concept, but maaaann I stayed. It kept hooking up my interest chapter by chapter, and when the romance finally happened it's so d*mn funny! The author did a good job for this enemies to lovers troupe. I wish someone had picked up the novel and gave it a better translation.

This novel is the definition of enemies to lovers. The ML AND MC despise eachother at the start. I'm pretty sure the ML even tried to kill MC a few times (not too sure since I read this a while ago). However, the story is cool and the plot was enjoyable. I did drop this novel though since they had too much malice towards eachother for me to enjoy and the romance was extremely slow. But if this is your cup of tea, definitely give it a go

The fu***ng best. It was so good, the plot twist and the plot as a whole is very very interesting and exciting. They're relationship has this very thick sexual air around it, you can just feel it. It make my baby hairs stand up. Definitely recommended to people that like a mystery, supernatural, drama and horor with a pinch of a yaoi.

this is so great. a mind-blowing and a rollercoaster ride of emotions. i just really love how they realize their feelings for each other—like man, such a good match couple.

The mixture of terror, romance and madness among the protagonists makes me addicted! It's amazing the hatred and mutual desire between them, the secondary characters and the things they face, it's all so captivating and just amazing

Just one word-Mind blowing!! From the MC's and ML's interactions, mind games, horror cases solving, the slyness and the desire to get back at each other, the humorous and unexpected plot to the different characters with 3D personality. It is simply amazing. It does a really good job in transitioning from pure horror and mystery to horror and mystery with romance. It never gets boring and makes you look forward to seeing how the MC turns things into his favour despite being very unlucky. Another thing I like about this is that he MC puts everything in his possession to full use and efficiently overcomes cases with what he has. He does have a gold finger of course but his intelligence is his main weapon. The character's personalities are also pretty likable.

The story is thrilling and gets you emotional at the same time. It's easy to read good translation. It's a new story there are no clichè. Enjoy

Gives the vibe of beauty and the beast. It's hard to find good horror novel with bl theme that's not infinte genre. It's worth it. I feel satisfied
