- AzzryRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0How can I say...? I’m crazy about this fic, I love it.
My impressions of history: The beginning was sometimes difficult to follow with many unknown characters, but over time the story became gradually clear.
I find your characters endearing and profound.
The hero is really interesting, a guy with a sharp mind, but who can be silly at times.
Other characters are also complex and interesting
I also like the detailed scientific description of some elements.
Anyway, I rarely liked a trick that much.
this is my first comment on this site.
I probably made grammar mistakes, English is not my native language and I had to translate my comment, sorry - EterniaLogicRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5This story has a strong start in the first volume, but then becomes a slice of life in volume 2-4. In volume 5, things start to both heat up as an actual antagonist exists now.
The author did very well in the 'survival' aspect of a new dragon. This is probably one of the first few novels that I have read that has given a forced as a non-humanoid, instead of an MC that can hide near humans with a humanoid 'dragonkin' form and almost never transforms into the dragon form with most other stories.
The biggest downside of this story is that there are many sudden jumps in logic or 'missed cutscenes', which are especially jarring when he has an adverse reaction to it, suddenly becoming really smart and revealing new plot when the narrator has not described it, leaving many open plotholes. The author also gets sidetracked a few times, which slows down the plot.
The first few chapters are not really that relevant, as Universe Building before world building is quite a heavy taste. - Granz TacRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I like this story it didn't have the most common mistake in nonhuman mc like Wierd looking human trap. the unique magic system also adds a plus point to this.
Style and grammar are good and smooth but sometimes you must re-read the chapter to get the idea mc to want to convey. while the plot is... complicated sometimes it is all over the place, sometimes it is a slice of life but suddenly turn to action in the middle of the chapter I like this unpredictably good but too much it can cause new reader to drop the story the later Arc it feels dragged, too many things introduced at one no with foreshadowing. also, the time travel thingy is future complicated the story, beginning arc is focused and structured while later seem like cobbled together there is discontinuity that I noticed that feel like foreshadow that set too far in future.
Character is good, no system is best also MC reincarnation is advanced at same times it weaknesses, suppressing his body beast instinct is bad also letting it run rampant is also a not good idea, I like this idea where his action also have consequence. beast character is not acting like normal humans they have different morale and society but yeah it is good and refreshing - ZethuronRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0A decent read for me.
Just that the story moves like really slow, but that could also be a good part about this novel, with the huge amount of story potentional and time shenegians.
Althrough i like the sheer effort put in the universe-building(or is it multiverses?), also the massive amount of plot points. Its also good that the author does not hesitate to write weird and complex stuff.
On the other side, the story does get REALLY confusing at the start, it gets better but its still hard to follow.
Be warned, that the author has almost no limit for the weird kind of stuff he writes in the story, generally chapters where such content happens, are marked, but there are still expections, especially with the older chapters.
Not really much to say about the characters myself. - Divine_ReaderRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5its fairly good as long as you skip from chapter v1c1 till v1c12
from v1c13 its oke and the grammer is good. though it get very long and anoing in explanations and such - Old_ManRoyal Road★★★ 3.0I don't mind the sound-words, mind you. I'm quite fine with them.
But our MC is just too juvenile and silly for me, as are the bandits. Our MC doesn't want to clean the bandits. I can't stand these people who let murdering criminals loose because they think it's a good thing. Admittedly, the MC supposedly learns from this, but I get the feeling like the entire story will continue to be too silly for my taste.
I was looking for a stoic and epic murder-lizard, and while I didn't last until the lizard phase, the first 3.5 chapters lead me to strongly suspect that it isn't something that the author will be interested in. - ZeroLCRoyal Road★★★ 2.5I will have to stop reading here and drop the story. V2C2
The main reason is because of how early and quick the interaction with a sentient race happened. From there on was the generic and cliche of monster = slave and from there his life is not his. I started to quickly skim through these chapters and its just regular interactions that I have seen in other stories.
You had something going with the Mc struggling through the forest and learning by himself like how a dragon or beast does. By experience. Now he is surrounded and influenced by humans and other sentient beings that there will be less of those beastly encounters and he will become more "domesticated." With how tough his life was in the beginning I was hoping he would encounter these things by himself. It was so entertaining seeing a human in a dragon form surviving but now he is with humans and there are so many stories that have a beast interacting with sentient beings that we can somewhat predict what is going to happen next. The story has lost its uniqueness or there is a lot less ways to make this story fresh and unique to keep the readers attention.
Now that he is surrounded by sentient beings he will learn at a way quicker rate which is more generic, boring, etc. The story will move forward quicker and the plot will progress more but at the cost of the Mc learning by mistake and error.
Be well aware that my opinion stemmed from the fact that I have read a lot of novels in RR, Fanfiction, Xianxia, etc. Newer readers have a higher chance of enjoying this. - JknottRoyal Road★★ 2.0I was excited about this story. But sadly im goibg to stop reading. You have some sentence structure problems. You repeatedly try to explain a concept like you are trying to smoith someones undwrstanding but it just makes it more confusing. I thought there would be a more game like structure to the book but there isnt. You switch perspective to often. Once you had hin start practicing magic your explanations got even more confusing and repeatative rewording things 3 paragraphs worth. Annoying. Sorry
- midnyt21Royal Road★★ 1.5so many POV. its like telling the readers that the MC is not important. so many useless chapters. you need to highlight your story. the MC is smart. why did you make him a retard all of the sudden? he easily got captured while peeking on a wagon? really? retardation at its best. you could have made the MC live in the forest while making him stronger. the MC is a fucking dragon ..
- Quantum qwaziRoyal Road★ 1.0Omg this is awful a fight with weak pigs take over half a chap that’s just awful writing tha characters are boring and long winded saying nothing while fights are boring long winded Mabey better later
