A delightful, engaging awakening story of a person reincarnated as a dragon 'cub' without any meaningful memories of their past life. Its engaging, well-written and thought out, with good character and skills growth in the space of the chapters published so far. I loved the setting of a rich, colorful fantasy forest with its dangers and look forward to seeing more of the world.
One small drawback for me was that I expected a more immersive dragon POV rather than a person acting in a dragon body - in the narrative voice, the strangeness or wonder of being a new dragon seemed to be skimmed over somewhat, becoming too familiar too fast.
All in all, a story I'd definitely recommend and one I'll be eagerly following.

New spin on the reincarnation trope, there aren’t many stories that have the MC reincarnate as a non-human species so the concept was definitely fresh. The grammar and style here fit the story perfectly but for the first few chapters there aren’t any major character interactions so it’s hard to say how well it will blend with open dialogue. But the inner monologues with the system help to keep the overall tone of the series somewhat comedic.
Juniper seems like a pretty good MC so far, there haven’t been any major challenges for her yet but she definitely has a lot of room to grow. Also, the art being added to these chapters is a nice touch, it makes the entire scenery feel more alive and makes envisioning the fight scenes a whole lot easier. This story definitely has a lot more action scenes in the works so it’s definitely a good isekai read.

A story about a dragon waking up and growing stronger day by day. Eventually she is trying to find her spot in the world and this is where the story ends for now.
Juniper is a cute and humble character. Her gentle care and connection to the forest along with her cheeky plays she has with the system in the beginning keep the story fun. Each chapter ends in a way that makes you long for more and that's why the Style score is so high.
The leveling system is well developed and the world feels lived in and vibrant. Every place and situation is well written that one can imagine the places very well.
The story is still in its development at chapter 40. Even until then it's a worthwhile and entertaining read. The world is well developed, politics, history and gods are explained and it makes Juniper feel like a real adventurer in this world.
It's nice to see a dragon who isn't all about status, even though sometimes her instincts get the better of her. Yet they seem only to be clichee like a lot of things. Sometimes the author forgets to mention how the bruises or cuts actually hinder our MC. It doesn't take away, but stating the struggles would have enhanced the story at some points.
The mystery of Junipers existance is part of a longer background story I can imagine. Her desire to meet her kind is driving her motivation in the second (unfinished) arc of the story. Though the more I think about it, the more I wonder: What is the driving force for Juniper in the future?
I still have a few critiques, that might spoil the story:
Juniper can read, thus she should able to write and communicate this way. Why didn't she try that?
The actions of the important group ™ at the end are very strange. The talk also seemed to lack purpose. Leaving Juniper to fend for herself is really rude and makes them feel not that welcoming. I hope those actions get explained, because it feels poorly thought out from the important groups ™ part
Overall it's a worthwhile read.
