    This novel belongs to the fantasy genre; those who dislike this type can ignore it. The main plot is slow-paced, making it a thought-provoking fantasy novel. It features a female lead, but the romance is weak, practically nonexistent. The early chapters have a more realistic style, but the tone shifts after the setting changes. It differs from current mainstream popular fantasy masterpieces. The main story downplays the protagonist's romance, focusing instead on his exciting life journey—from an ordinary mortal to someone who awakens dragon blood and gradually finds his destiny. Also, the author is rather lazy; while they update daily, the number of chapters is limited, indicating a relatively inexperienced writer.
