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) .

Since then, the world of men was dominated by witches, establishing the seven witch kingdoms, which safeguards at the forefront of the demon invasion. In order to survive in the matriarchal society of the witch kingdoms, Vaan, like all other men who cannot use magic, had to learn how to service the witches to survive. Nevertheless, it did not come without its own benefits. Years of research have led the world to the discovery of intimacy between men and women could increase the witches' mana absorption. But at the same time, men could absorb some of this mana to improve their physique and lifespan. Thus, since then, an intricate relationship was formed between men and witches in the red-light districts. Love became casual, and dual cultivation is common. As a prodigy in the art of pleasing women, Vaan lived a smooth two years since his transmigration as an orphan. However, everything came crashing down in a heartbeat one day when his life was nearly taken, and Lady Eniwse whom he served went berserk. Even so, that was not the end. With the awakening of the Witch Hunter System, watch how Vaan takes on the world and becomes the lord of witches. ===== Genre: [Mature Content] [R-18] [Smut] [Magic] [Witches] [Demons] [Spirits] [Dragons] [Beasts] [Reincarnation] [Adventure] [Action] [Mystery] [Academy] [Weak-to-Strong] [Scheming MC] [Harem] [System] [Servants] [Slaves] [Smart MC] [Alchemy] [Forging] [Misunderstandings] [Game Elements] [Kingdom-Building] [Overpowered MC] ===== Note: Contains lemons.
