So I should leave a review since I had great hope for this novel, but was disappointed. I will list the problems: 1. Grammar ...simply, it sucks. I can understand that English is not the author's first language, but there are like 10 grammar mistakes each chapter. Please, use a proofreader it's really distracting from the story. There, they're and their are different. Please learn it. 2. Writing style The limites of the language hits hard in the style department. Since the author doesn't master the language, phrases are always linear and simple, concepts are expressed one at a time etc... This impacts the story since it seems the actors themselves are basic. 3. Plot holes, world building, etc I understand you don't want infodumps, and you also don't want to spoiler the story but... Seriously, try to give a reason for things happening, and not at chapter 1000 since people will not arrive there. Sen is acting like a true 5 yo even being a 1000 yo dragon. Is there a good reason? Maybe. Without explaining, or even an hypotesis, this is simply a plot hole. Whatever is inside the mind of the author doesn't count, only what is written. And don't go "but normal books can explain after 200 pages, why can't I?" Normal books are supposed to be perfect in language use, have been read and revisited multiple time by the author and the editor team, so the reader is somewhat assured that the story is somewhat decent. On webnovel the author publishes BEFORE finishing the story and often before checking for errors. Maybe in chapter 300 the author is like "oooops for plot reason I need this in chapter 30... Too bad it's already published. Let's hope nobody notices" while in a normal book you would go and modify chapter 30 to be coherent. Now, I have gone for a bit of a rant here. TL;DR: the story is simple but ha potential... Wasted because of poor English and oversimplification

Actually English is my first language and I am from the Uk, I am actually an English teacher as well. The problem is that I have to write chapters daily for all three of my novels, which doesn't give me much time to catch the mistakes. Of course, I know the difference between over there, their things and They are. In the summer, i can go back and change this. I don't know how far you got but it was my first time writing a novel in first person which was why it was hard for me to fully express myself. later on, I change the story to the third person and the writing gets a lot better and more descriptive. Multiple people have brought up the plot holes at the begging but honestly, the only thing people don't like is the fact that they expected the MC to act one way when the MC doesn't; I:e like some ancient dragon instead of a five Year old. This is explained later on but I am unsure whether or not I should go back and edit because right now more people like the story then don't. Thank you for the detailed review. And will fix the grammar mistakes once I get my summer holiday break.

Thank you for your reply. I'm at chapter 66. The final thing that pushed me to write this review was the decision to go to the red door. I mean, Sen just saw a "white glowing ball" that tells him "I will tell you my secrets" and BAM he's ready to risk everything to go there, without reason. Don't get me wrong when I said he doesn't act like a 1000 yo dragon. I don't want or expect him to be bloodthirsty or cruel. I'm totally fine with him gradually liking humanity. I also don't dislike the slow development (of the story or his powers) as other people commented. What pushes me off is an unimmersive character that takes unbelievable actions because plot demands it. If you say the story will receive a grammar check after the summer... Maybe I will try again then, and change the review :)

Congratulations for the now full time job as an author are in order then! Good luck with your life then, and I hope you will find the time to polish your stories and have a quality over quantity philosophy (but I can understand that many people prefer the other way) .

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.
