  From the memorable first chapter to the MC's early struggles coping with depression and angst at losing her life's dream due to local (national) politics to the faint hints of hope for the future, Asviloka has built a great foundation with the start of this story about a young mage studying at a renowned academy of magic swept up in geopolitical events she wished would have left her alone.
  Giving all 5's might come across as fanboyish, but I simply haven't yet come across a reason to dock a star in this story.
  The style is light enough for a casual read, well-polished, and presents the dynamic and interesting characters with individuality that come through in the prose. Lore is not info-dumped but worked into the scenes and doled out as it becomes relevant to the story. The grammar is excellent, and what few typos appear on occasion are quickly edited when pointed out.
  The story is still at the beginning where characters are being introduced and the stage is being set for future conflict and struggle, and even so, the MC has already faced challenges that have inspired in her the full gamut of emotions. It's clear that the author has a larger plan related to events behind the scenes, and I'm looking forward to where the tale will wend on this shared journey.
  The pace of chapter releases and limited number of chapters shouldn't be cause for hesitation. The author has a track record of doggedly completing even unloved and unpopular stories.

  While the story is still in its early stages, the author clearly is working towards something and many set pieces haven't been revealed yet, but what has been revealed is the character building. The story so far has mostly focused on the MC and some complex emotions, but the rest of the cast also has hints of deeper motivations for which there simply hasn't been any time yet to explore. Simply looking forward for more and hope the author can keep their 10 years promise!

  Great start! Underdog main character forced to give up her dreams of becoming a control mage and instead has to tame a dragon to be send off to war. Sounds awesome to some people, well she hates it. Will she find joy, love and adventure again? Will she survive the war? Will she be able to controll her magic ever again? Let's find out!

  Overall Score - This story is a very well-written academy-based story that follows a protagonist who isn't terribly keen on acquiring dragon magic. This makes sense considering that dragon magic holds the disadvantage of being less precise. It is, however, more powerful. I think that the trade-offs in this story lead to a very interesting world. I'm hooked and will definitely come back to read more.
  Grammar Score - The grammar in this story is practically flawless. I only happened to find one slight grammatical error. The prose is good and everything is clear and easy to understand.
  Style Score - The style of this fiction is good, although I found that it may have too heavily focused on description and left some of the dialogue sparser than I would've liked. This is just a personal preference of mine, though. I do prefer third-person stories and this one delivered.
  Character Score - The characters in this writing are well fleshed out and have different complex personalities. Each one treats the new addition of dragons differently. Some characters take this change in stride, while, others, like the protagonist, are more reluctant to change their ways. I'm curious how the main character will grow throughout the story.
  Story Score - The story is a very typical, academy-based story. There is a slight twist where the academy was taken over and changed but I found that to be a little odd. Why would a force that invaded want to turn the people they conquered into super soldiers? That seemed like a weird thing to do, considering these people would now become a risk for the conquerors since they could possibly rebel.

  I like the book. If this were published traditionally, I would have expected about 60 pages of exposition, and part of me is bothered on some level that it's not there.
  Magic is interesting so far, and I think more exposition would have led me to being more invested in Alisa investing her self-worth in her abilit to cast subtle spells. Why does she prefer subtle spells? What is her history with magic? Its a magic school story (so far), but I'd like to see more of her before she joined the magic school. On the other hand, the opening scene is solid, and would probably have to be sacrificed to add more exposition.
  Mostly comments for the author:
  I think this book has a lot of potential to be very popular on RR, assuming the author posted twice-weekly. I just think that 3 times a month as a release schedule hurts this story's chances at being succesful. I truly think the author could do this full time if they focused on one project (this book). I see 11 different fictions, and as a reader that makes me pretty uneasy. I want to see this finished, not abandoned after book 1 or 2.

  What a fantastic start. Just the first taste has made me an addict. I'll look  forward to my fix with every chapter released!
  The language is great, the world building incredible just in the first few paragraphs,  and the characters are already real people, even though just bare outline sketches thus far.

  Cute dragons, too! The happy cuteness of baby dragon antics perfectly balances the story about a girl whose life has been completely upended, and she has basically no control over anything, and everything is going horribly wrong, but look, cute baby dragon!
  Honestly, though, the characters all feel very real. The actions and reactions to everything going on are perfectly reasonable, never overdramatic or whiney. The MC is good at what she does (or was, before baby dragon), but not in a way that seems OP. All the accomplishments feel earned. Everything makes sense.
  Overall, 10/10 story so far. Go read it.

  I understand she has fair reasons to complain about her situation, but this is a literal dragon egg. It's the raddest thing since microvable eggs. The personality deiccions makes complete sense, and in her situation I would have done the exact same thing, but this is a dragon. It will be big and mighty. You could make it eat a goose if you wanted to.
  Rant over. Looking at the style, I would say this story holds it semi-straight. Had a single sentence drive me around for a few minutes but it was otherwise fine enough. Grammar perfect.
  5/5. Has dragon even if still egg

  I really like dragons, so bear that in mind.
  I honestly thought that the combination of the title, the circumstances of the country's political upheaval and the MC's attitude towards dragons would result in the antithisis of my childhood dream. Thankfully, I was dead wrong.
  I cannot express how relieved and impressed by the authors handling of the MC's gradual and well characterised change in heart, which came about through good storytelling. With so many examples of poorly motivated knee-jerk reactions floating in the back of my mind, I was profoundly relieved to see it handled so well.
  The rules governing magic are interesting and engaging. Once you ahve a handle on it, you can start extrapolating things yourself before the story gets to them, which is neat. There are enough 'exceptions' to the general rules to keep things interesting as well. Fire attribute vs Dragon Fire atribute, is a pretty great in story example, so once you read up to that aprt you will understand what I mean :P
  Other characters besides the MC are given room to grow and engage through the story, which is great considering the presestablished rivalries evolve and take on new forms under the stresses of the early environment of the story.
  Spelling and grammar has been close to perfect, so far as I could tell. The author is taking criticisms and suggestions like a champ, which is good to see.
  There is plenty of room for growth for the characters and story, so I feel confident that  An Unwanted Dragon will find a dedicated readership. Keep up the good work.

  So first of, I am not a native speaker and my grammar judging abilities are quite underwhelming. At least it appears to be really good so 5 stars...
  Since I want to talk a bit about the story I will put the rest into a spoiler tab.
  The style is on the slower side with maybe a few to many repeats of how she hated her situation and how energetic the little dragon is. This makes for a compelling character development and progression but also makes it more drawn out then necessary.
  The dialogues are fluent and the mix of showing and telling is in a sweet middle spot.
  The story is one of a kind so far and I can't wait to get more of it. The little adventures of the pair and their bonding is fun to read and follow.
  Not so much there little escape attempt or their adventure into the library underground. As slow as the precursor events were, as fast and confusing the escape scene was and didn't really bring any value into the story. Even the other students forgot about it, how could it be interesting for an outside reader? I'm still open concerning the cave as it can still become important, more to it in the next part.
  Characters, the best part but also one of my biggest concerns. The development of all involved partys is really well written. But it comes at the cost of consistency. What happened to the friendship? What happened to the many hours of planning and scheming? It is looks at to be forgotten and even the MC agreed to it it before the escape.
  But then comes the cave. Suddenly the MC, a former magic circle genius finds herself outclassed by a young dragon who never talked about circles before. This reeks of bad plot armor to say the truth. I hope there will be an explanation in the future but until then I can only take a star for it.
  Conclusion: it is worth your time, go and read it!
