Reader list

This list focuses on dragon-transformation novels with a Western fantasy, D&D flavor: stories in which the protagonist transmigrates into a D&D-like world and becomes a dragon. These are stories of nonhuman protagonists growing and surviving. The most important thing about becoming a dragon is the dragon's unique nature and immense power. Western fantasy D&D, or Dungeons & Dragons, is widely regarded as the inspiration and starting point for modern Western fantasy games, and naturally has rich, immersive lore about dragons. Dragons are generally thought to possess great intelligence and exceptional gifts, to represent the most powerful and primal forces, and to have a distinctive culture. The most common types are Chromatic Dragons and Metallic Dragons. Here are three questions that run through all dragon-transformation novels, and indeed all stories about nonhuman protagonists: 1. Which matters more, humanity or animal instinct? Do you want to read about a person in an animal's skin, or a true beast? 2. What does the world look like through a beast's eyes? Can you accept its unique worldview and culture? 3. Should the protagonist turn back into a human? Is their goal to return to human society, or to survive as a beast? I rate books on a five-point scale. One or two stars mean the book has a bad ending, was abandoned, suffered a story collapse, or had some other major flaw. Three stars is the rating for most books on this list: they're worth recommending. Four or five stars mean the book does something especially well and has a real standout quality. Finally, thanks for reading, and I hope you find something that interests you on this list. Authors are welcome to promote their own books, and readers are welcome to recommend novels in the comments.

"Boss, do you think that's a white dragon?" The dwarf looked at the half of the dragon wing exposed on the glacier with a pale face, and his legs had begun to tremble. The dragon wings covered the sky, the sun was dim, and the cold breath seemed to solidify the entire sky. "Maybe... Stop the team, we should leave..." The captain felt an inexplicable chill in his heart: "Quick! Prepare for battle!" A strong wind tore through the sky, and the mercenaries fell to the ground one after another. He opened a pair of strange scarlet pupils, looking down at the earth from a high position, and the dragon roared like thunder: "Human? Dwarf? Elf? Welcome, I am Bai He. This is my research institute. What kind of research do you want to participate in? Genetic modification? Force-bred armor? Or the energyization of the body?" The story of a white dragon with an out-of-character personality carrying an infinite flow artifact and causing crazy troubles in another world.

The new book "Blue Dragon: Thunder Tyrant" has been released, and we are looking forward to your support! Traveling to another world and becoming a dragon may have been Tianhu's start, but what emerged was a dragon beast without wings, and was sold to the Colosseum. Watch how a lawful and neutral silver dragon dominates the world with its good teeth. It can eat whatever it wants and unlock and evolve more powerful abilities. In short, this is an alternative world food story where everything depends on eating. Pseudo-DND, single female protagonist, a combination of multiple settings and the author's imagination, a completely different path to growth!
