The plot is generally good, but there are quite a few minor flaws. However, as long as your tolerance for bad elements isn't too low, you can still keep reading. The writing is decent, at least passable, and doesn't read like a primary school student's essay.
The thought of encountering a black dragon while hunting birds on Azure Star makes me want to laugh.
This is a rare Monster Hunter fanfiction featuring dragons as the main characters. The author has a deep understanding of the Monster Hunter world, and the various species and ecosystems are depicted very perfectly. I hope it doesn't stop updating; I'll keep reading.
It's clear the author has put a lot of effort into writing about the protagonist's growth, but I feel the protagonist is still missing something. What is it? A heart. First, let's clarify the premise: the protagonist is a transmigrator who is reincarnated as a black dragon cub. Therefore, the most important thing for the protagonist at this stage is to survive.
It's pretty good; it's considered top-tier among Monster Hunter stories. The writing and plot are both solid, and so far there's no sign of inconsistent power levels or any major flaws. However, this book fails to capture the essence of dragons. It feels like the author is merely a person in dragon's skin, far inferior to Huihui's book.
I've been reading for quite a while now, up to chapter 59, and I'm starting to feel like giving up. Before chapter 55, the book was quite enjoyable, but the appearance of that "Ancestral Dragon" has made me very uncomfortable. It's supposed to be a farming story, but it feels like I'm burdened with some strange mission or responsibilities. It gives me a very uneasy feeling.
Damn, I'm speechless. Seeing Monster Hunter reminds me of the painful memory of my 4200+ hours of save data for two characters being overwritten by my brother's newly created account after a computer reset. That account was where I spent three years suffering from severe depression, waking up in the morning to start hunting dragons and not stopping until bedtime! ૮₍ɵ̷ɵ̷̥̥᷅₎ა
I've finished reading it all, and here are my thoughts: It feels more like a farming, territory-building, or simulation novel, lacking the Monster Hunter feel. Because the Black Dragon's ecological niche doesn't allow for the portrayal of Monster Hunters defeating Elder Dragons, representing natural disasters, or the themes of hunter and hunted.
100 Points, absolutely 100 points. There aren't many competitors in the Monster Hunter novel genre right now, but it's also genuinely good! 😭😭😭
It's good, very much to my taste. I prefer novels that don't have a system but have unique elements, and aren't about a "King of Ten Thousand Females." Okay, actually I don't really know why I like it, but I'm completely engrossed after finishing it. The only downside is that the author updates too slowly 🤦
