I'm not sure if there are extremely popular 'zero sum vampire novels' specifically labeled as such. But in many vampire novels, there are zero - sum - like concepts. 'Twilight' has some aspects. The vampires' existence in that world is a bit of a zero - sum in relation to humans. Vampires are strong and fast and have to control their thirst for human blood. If they give in, the human loses their life. Also, in the 'Blade' series of novels (if there are any based on the movies), Blade's fight against vampires can be seen as a zero - sum game in a way. His victories mean losses for the vampires he defeats.
There are some vampire novels that could potentially fall into the 'zero sum' category. 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice has elements that could be seen as zero - sum. For example, the vampires' eternal life comes at the cost of human lives they take for blood. However, it's not strictly defined as a zero - sum vampire novel. Another one might be 'The Vampire Chronicles' series. In it, the power struggles between different vampires often involve one vampire's gain in power being related to another's loss, like when a younger vampire is turned by an older, more powerful one, and the older vampire gains some sort of influence or control over the new vampire.
Well, a 'zero sum vampire novel' is probably a book about vampires that has the idea of zero - sum in it. Zero - sum means that the total amount of something doesn't change. In a vampire novel, this could be about things like power. Let's say there's a powerful vampire artifact. If one vampire gets it, the others lose the chance to have it. Or it could be about territory. If one group of vampires takes over a certain area, another group loses that area. It's all about this balance where one side's gain is the other side's loss.
Well, 'Ender's Game' also has elements of a zero - sum game. Ender has to outperform his opponents in the battle school simulations. His victory is often at the cost of others' defeat, and the story is built around this competitive and zero - sum nature.
One characteristic is intense competition. For example, in 'The Running Man' (if considered as a novel - based on the movie which has a novel - like plot), the protagonist has to win against all other contestants. If he wins, others lose everything. There's no middle ground.
To determine if 'zero is a pureblood vampire fanfiction' is popular, we need to consider several aspects. First, the vampire genre has a large and dedicated fan base, but that doesn't mean every vampire - related fanfiction is popular. If the story within this fanfiction has engaging characters, a captivating plot, and perhaps some unique elements to the pureblood vampire lore, it might attract readers. However, without any data on its readership, reviews, or mentions in relevant fan communities, it's impossible to definitively say it's popular. It could be a hidden gem or just one of the many fanfictions that doesn't gain much traction.
A 'non zero sum novel' could be about situations where the interactions between characters or elements don't result in a simple win - lose scenario. It might explore complex relationships where cooperation can lead to mutual gain, like in a story about different factions in a post - apocalyptic world who realize that by working together, they can all achieve more than if they were constantly fighting each other.
One example could be 'The Three - Body Problem'. In it, the interactions between Earth and the Trisolaran civilization are not simply zero - sum. Although there are elements of conflict, there are also moments where both sides could potentially gain from certain exchanges of knowledge or strategies. For instance, the Wallfacers' plans were not just about defeating the Trisolarans but also about finding a way for humanity to coexist or at least delay the inevitable in a non - zero - sum way.
One key element is the clear opposition between the parties involved. In a zero sum game, one side's gain is the other side's loss. So, in the fanfiction, you should see characters or groups with conflicting goals. For example, two kingdoms fighting for the same territory.

There are likely some good ones out there. It depends on what aspects of 'Vampire Rosario Tsukune is Zero' you are interested in. If you like character - driven stories, you might find fanfictions that really dig deep into the personalities of Tsukune and the other characters, perhaps showing their growth in different situations compared to the original story.
One popular trope is the 'forbidden love' trope. Given Zero's status as a vampire hunter and his vampire blood, a relationship with a pure - blood vampire like Yuki can be seen as forbidden. Another trope is the 'redemption' trope. Writers often explore Zero's journey to redeem himself, either from his past actions or from the 'curse' of his vampire blood. It adds depth to his character.
