As a sucker for world-building novels, this novel easily takes the cake for the best world-building.Though there is the TS aspect of the MC being a former man turned human, the story focuses on the MC building the world and their various tales as the world they build advances and evolves on their own, with certain people/ civilizations getting some help from the MC.The novel goes into the nitty-gritty in all the important aspects, with interesting characters with well-defined motives and personalities, the history of the rise and fall of important countries, extra information on the items that the MC creates and their importance to the people it's made for.While Whether You Call Me a Guardian Dragon or Not, I’m Going to Sleep's world-building is on par with other world-building novels like She Was Both Called God, as Well as Satan, or The Life of Mt. Hororyuu: The Forefather of all Life and Magic at 4.6 Billion Years Old, what makes it rise above stories like this is the MC's writing, who truly feels like a Main Character of the story, with their interactions with more interesting and reoccurring characters that don't feel like a one-off in the story, with tales that have a proper end and tie together with the history of the world overall, with callbacks to older parts of the story that bring help strengthen the fact that the characters did exist and is a part of history.
