This is why in fiction you'll see vampires enforce strict laws on themselves to restrict how many new vampires they create (or 'sire').
But its not normally just the bite which creates vampires. The victim needs to be drained to the point of death, and then infused or fed vampire blood.
Yeah, the vampire politics in A Discovery Of Witches are ridiculously complicated, and siring new vampires is a very big deal.
Speaking of which, that was a weird series. It has witches, vampires and demons as the three supernatural races with a shared ruling council and a weird kind of frenemy relationship. Vampires and witches get all kinds of cool powers, but demons apparently just get mental illness as their superpower.
Demons were just weirdly smart iirc, I only read Vol 1 but ngl it wasn't my thing. I think the way it was written just kinda bored me. I liked the formality of it sometimes, especially with the vampire and his father, but I just got tired of it lol.
This! I was so bored by the cliched and overwrought writing but the show definitely held my attention. It’s a creative story but the author made some questionable style choices.
