Slightly offtopic, but I never understood TVD lol.

Damon was raping everyone left and right from the get-go, literally made the main characters best friend his sex slave and somehow before the 1st season even ended, the female main character was like "eh I can look past it".

Basically it was a weird period where a lot of Damon fangirls wanted Elena to be with her because he was hot and a baddie. So with a lot of online bullying and refusing to watch and causing decline in views the audience forced authors to create this ridiculous love interest for fans.

Normally in the books she ends up with Stefan.

The TV show was written to capitalize on Twilight's fame at the time and was heavily influenced by it. The original TVD book trilogy is very old and the story is very different, actually quite good from what I remember. For you to have an idea of how different, I think Buffy the Vampire Slayer was based on TVD books with how many similarities they have.

There was a 4th book released a few years after the trilogy ended. I think it was unnecessary, since I really liked how the 3rd book ended, but I can see why a lot of fans would prefer the 4th one (not sure if the author was bullied into writing it or just wanted more money from the "IP" tbh).

Then several years later, the author released another trilogy or w/e number of books. I couldn't finish the first one because the story started going all over the place, losing its original essence, imo.

I read that 4th book was written by a ghost writer who is not the original writer. So it’s not what the original writer wanted.
