Wings of Frost 霜寒之翼
“Boss, you’re saying that’s a white dragon?” The dwarf stared at the half-visible dragon wing protruding from the great glacier, his face pale and his legs already trembling.

Plot-Driven Reads, No Hand-Holding: 1. Sci-Fi
A mix of hard and soft sci-fi, including both civilization-building stories and tales of the protagonist's growth. These are sci-fi novels I think suit my tastes: they have fresh settings, relatively complete frameworks, and are enjoyable to read.
