Best comprehensive essay on the Castlevania lore?

I haven't played a single Castlevania game in my life, and I wanna get caught up in the lore before I jump into Belmont's Curse.

I have watched the Netflix series and I know the main character is gonna be Trevor and Sypha's kid. But I still wanna understand the broader spectrum of Castlevania, so I wanna watch a video essay on the lore. I like doing this whenever I get into a long running game series. Cuz when you get into a long running franchise, you always start with like the newest game or like the 15th entry into the series. And the gameplay is always good, but then the story will introduce a character, and it's supposed to be like a "OH MY GOOD WTF IT'S THAT GUY!" Moment, but then I'm just standing there wondering why they're giving some random dude such a long aura farm intro.

Also please nobody say "just play the games bro" I do not have enough time to play like 30 games in less than 3 weeks.
