I only got halfway through this, unfortunately. I struggled to feel engaged by the storyline, to me it feels like a series of fairly unconnected events that just happen one after another, all at quite a slow, ponderous pace. Perhaps some momentous event occurs at the end of the story that miraculously ties everything together? Sadly i couldn't remain interested long enough to find out. The passage of time doesn't feel "right", and the main characters' ages don't make a lot of sense to me.

I didn't find a lot of comedy in the writing, and what there was is generally on the level of toilet-humour. There's also quite a few "modern" colloquialisms that felt out of place to me.

Some of the characters are well written, in particular the demon girl and the guardian of the fountain, but many others feel very incidental and under-developed. The dragons are entertaining, although they feel to me like the story wouldn't really change a lot if they weren't there at all.

I suspect this style of book just isn't my thing. It reads a bit like a group of people playing a DnD campaign. "Levels", "Classes", etc, are a Thing in this world, characters are aware of their own numerical stats. To me that makes it feel as though the characters themselves are playing a game, and not really taking their own actions seriously.

Some fun moments, overall a bit mediocre

It may be a good listen for kids, however I found the characters all quite unlikeable and the story unengaging.

for kids?

I really enjoyed this book. It starts off a bit disjointed, but as the story goes on it coalesces. The narrator, Mare Trevathan, was excellent, creating different voices for each character.
On to the next one!

A Good Story!

This is a wonderful foundation for what I hope will be a great series. Yes the main character is a little OP but that just adds to the fun of it all. A boy raised by dragons in a new fantasy world. I look forward to the progression of all I've heard. Fun fun fun. Well read too. Keep it up cause I am straight on to the next book

How refreshing

In a world where might makes right, a boy is adopted into a family of dragons.
The boy is raised as a dragon and firmly believes he is a dragon. Because he is one, never contradict a dragon.

The world is structured similar to a progression fantasy world. Where the strongest warriors train to become SSS ranked adventurers.
Vur, the main character, has nor ever will care about that. He is the strongest by default, no human, elf or demon can ever hope to fight a dragon.
He is simply a child who enjoys what a child enjoys. With a family of dragons that treats him like their own child, with their own morality and will give him anything within their power. Which is everything.

Virlyce has a knack for writing funny stories with over powered characters. If you like One Punch Man the anime. This story shares many of the same positive qualities.

The supporting characters share the spotlight, everyone has flaws and qualities that make them feel alive and unique. My favorite character was Priscilla.
A dragon who is desperate for a mate, has a love for romance novels and willing to do borderline blasphemous things simply because she's bored. (grimmy is a close second).

Mare trevathane is a talented voice actor, she is great at giving each person a personality. Which has gotten me addicted to this world. Thank you for such a great performance.

A 5 yr old is the strongest Man- err DRAGON alive.

Nothing really happens in the book. The MC i really OP and just does what he wants, there is no villan to stop, quest to do or anything else. An IF he needs to do something he just does it. Wants to be king? Does it - no resistance, it takes him like 1 second of just displaying his magic.

No real story. Spoilers
