So I think I get what you’re asking but if I’m totally off let me know ok?
So the way I imagine this is that Vampire society has their industrial revolution around the time humans started forging bronze. After all with people staying in one place all the time they didn’t have to scrounge for food and hell some of the smarter ones probably offered protection in exchange for the occasional meal. Which is y’know the basis feudalism
But since they’re no longer spending all their time hunting they suddenly have free time and then they got bored. Which starts at lets find a better way to make pots, and ends at lets tie a key to a kite and find out what happens. For SCIENCE!
Which means that they get running water, gaslights, and penicillin something like (lets say) 600 years* ahead of schedule. And then they probably didn’t advance much beyond that because they would have started running into what my friends called the demon carriage problem.
(And by that timeline it’s when the church got into crusading. Which I suspect the vampires were Not Amused about.)
So when they started retreating into their lands, they took the technology they had and hoarded it. Like goddamn dragons. Between them and the church by the time 1455 rolls around and Lise barrels into castle most of it has been forgotten or purposely erased. So vampire have had their rise and decline and are looking to rise again and humanity is on track with their development in actual history. Does that make sense?
Meta is actually the best part of fandom and I’ve got the same problem with finishing stuff. So I know that feel
