History YMMV / Bloodbound

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Marcel, a 400 year old CloudCuckooLander vampire with deep connection to Gaius, Adrian and Kamilah as well as showing how the smaller clans operate... and then got killed off horribly in the Feral attack ''one chapter later''.

* BrokenBase: People are split on Jax joining Adrian and Amy to travel to Europe to seek Serafine's help. Naturally, players romancing him are happy to have more scenes with him. On the other hand, some believe that it's a mistake to leave Lily and Kamilah behind, believing that either of them would be more helpful than Jax due to the former's technical prowess and the latter also being close with Serafine. People also point out that Lily and Kamilah are sidelined as a result.

* {{Narm}}:
** The Premium choices of having ''slumber party games'' with the Love Interests. Given the dark tone of the story, many players have felt it's out of place to have [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Kamilah and Adrian]] play "Never Have I Ever" on a train with Lily and Amy, or have a ''drinking game'' to get Jax and Adrian talk about what is bothering them.
** The portrait fragment flashback in Book 3 Chapter 8 taking place in a remote mountain castle in Stockholm[[note]]It's not only Sweden's capital and most populous city (and therefore far from remote), but also has no mountains within its metropolitan area[[/note]]. Many players mock this as a poor attempt at ArtisticLicenseGeography because the castle's location in Stockholm has no meaningful effect on the story.

* LesYay: Some people like to ship Serafine Depont with Yvonne from the ‘’Endless Summer’’ series given that the former used to be a pirate and both women are fairly attractive.

** Lily Spencer. Some players like her for being a supportive friend towards Amy, her cheerful attitude that prevents the story from devolving into DarknessInducedAudienceApathy, and [[TookALevelInBadass gradually developing into a formidable fighter in her own right]]. Other players dislike her for her childish reaction at being attacked and turned into a vampire and felt that she should've remained as the MuggleBestFriend to keep Amy grounded. It seems that Pixelberry is aware of her unpopularity and left her out of the cover of Book 2.

** Although it is another premium option, [[spoiler: many chose to kill off Scholar Jameson given that he attacked Lily, betrayed Adrian and Kamilah, and willingly assisted Gaius, as well as kidnapped innocent people for Gaius to feed off of]].

** In another premium option, many chose to [[spoiler: help Kamilah kill Priya. Many had viewed her actions as hard to stomach and view her as no better than Gaius]].

* NightmareFuel:
** The Ferals. They are (technically) still vampires but they are driven solely to feed and kill. They are constantly in a state of mindless rage. Getting bit by one turns the victim (whether human or vampire) and there's no cure for being a Feral (apart from death).
** The Crytpoferals in Book 2 are even worse. They have evolved due to their environment (being trapped in the vampire crypts for hundreds of years) and look like something out of the Franchise/{{Alien}} franchise.
** Book 2, Chapter 6 is an extremely dark chapter in which [[spoiler: two characters are violently killed, the BigBad becomes ''basically immortal'' and the main characters either go into hiding (Kamilah and Lily) or flee to another country (Amy, Adrian and Jax)]] for their own safety. To hammer home how dark this chapter is, the chapter description simply says "RUN".

** In Book 1 Chapter 13, Jax says he'll be ready in case Adrian needs a getaway driver, then says, "Sweet ride."

* CatharsisFactor: Despite it costing diamonds, most readers chose the decision to [[spoiler:either arrest or kill off Nicole for her betrayal and SmugSnake attitude]].

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Lester was originally hated for being a perverted creep, but many see him in a new light after he risked his life to save the protagonists from Gaius and died as a result.

** Although it is another premium option, [[spoiler: many chose to kill off Scholar Jameson given that he betrayed Adrian and Kamilah and willing assisted Gaius, as well as kidnapped innocent people for Gaius to feed off of]].

* Griff Sanderson has a big number of detractors, who hate him because he spent all of his screentime in Book 1 being mean and unpleasant to Amy and Lily despite the two having just survived an incredibly traumatic event, not to mention trying to kill Kamilah. [[spoiler:Almost no one saved him over [[EnsembleDarkhorse Liv Denara]] in the final battle of Book 1]]. On the other hand, his few supporters argue that he has reasons to resent both Lily and Amy for being directly connected to two clan leaders, while he and his people didn't choose to be vampires and hide for their lives. [[spoiler:If he is chosen to be rescued, he becomes notably nicer and grateful in Book 2.]]
