I don't know whether or not this is the author's first book or if they have lots of experience. I wouldn't necessarily say this book is bad. Because the concept is actually very good. And if this is the author's first or one of their first books, then they did a fantastic job. And I would tell them to keep writing. However there were some parts of this novel that I myself did not enjoy. And I frankly felt did not make sense. The mc, an old and experienced dragon, was reborn as a child. Makes sense how he acts and all that in the first half of the chapters. However then his father got sick and the book went down hill from there. The knight academy he went to for 10 years felt so forced. It was just an excuse for a time skip. And a terrible one at that seeing as he did not grow stronger at all in those 10 years EVEN THO he was supposed to be doing it to find the cure for his dad. Then, he finally leaves and goes to another academy where he hides his strength and all that. Here is where things get confusing for me. He has killed intermediate beasts before. That's a fact. And we were also told that average knights would not be able to defeat an intermediate beast . Ok. But then he enters a school and gets beat up by a second-year student who would technically only be 16. So, this 16 year old is better than all average knights? Ok, he must be the best of the best. Nope. Rank 50. And the match wasn't even close. Honestly, they're trying to make him struggle, which I understand, but they're focusing more on the physical struggle than the mental struggle which I believe is a mistake. as a former dragon even if he does not have magic in this current body he has been given the tools which would allow him to rule over everyone else quite easily if he would stop being forced to waste away his time in the academy learning almost nothing. To make up for his incredible skills, the author could have given him a greater mental and emotional struggle. The struggle between the mind of a beast in the heart of the human. Idk, there's honestly a lot of good concepts in this novel however I'm going to have to drop it because I just don't wanna read any more of a novel where the mc is forced to be weak when there is a clear path to strength. Keep trying Mr./Miss Author

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

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.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... Disclaimer: I'd received a few complaints from some readers that my MC is not a real villain, and I have to agree; if you're looking for some complete psycho MC who burns random farmer villages down just for fun then don't read. The MC is a ruthless man who does evil things from time to time, but only to his enemies or those he considers to be true scum. He gains no joy from tormenting strangers. Also don't read if you want a story about buying s*x slaves and r*ping them, that doesn't happen in this novel. He will treat the women he wants to be with as if they were normal people, whether they're slaves or not.
