Castlevania is an action game. MLP covers various genres, but also features action heavily. The problem with this fanfic is that it is not an action story. What little action of consequence there is is front-loaded, and after the first few chapters the plot grinds to a halt.
I will say this in its favor, instead of following the adventurous Belmont into the castle, the story follows the struggles of the villagers caught up in Dracula's dark aura. This is interesting, until you realize that all those villagers do is walk around in circles and hide in their homes at night. If you like the dark atmosphere read the first story, but skip the second where the plot slows so much it actually starts moving backward.
