Whether You Call Me a Guardian Dragon or Not, I’m Going to Sleep Chapter 15 Discussion

This is honestly a really good story so far.

It's the usual trope of "a god sends someone who died untimely to another world, and give them cheat powers". MC is basically a god, with cheat powers of time control, innate control of magic, the ability of creation, and google.

And it looks to be setting up a typical fantasy world.

But the author decides to go a completely different route. Establish the MC at the beginning of the newly created world, as a mini creator dragon. Whose job it is to do whatever desired, and gets to fill it with whatever life he wished to create.

And if he can truly achieve something that truly satisfies him in his new life, the god will give him any wish he desires, including going back to his original world.

This is where the novel really shines, as it becomes its own unique fantasy isekai where things are being steadily shaped into forms we recognize.

The author just has so many good ideas, and a great writing style that really shines with this translation.

Covering things like:

• • Slimes being the LUCA, the Last (and only) Universal Common Anscestor of this world, the form of life that ends up mutating into all of the animal species on the planet.

• • The creation of Dragons, and why they have reverse scales. An extremely rational reason for the creation of Dragon hearts, low birthrate of dragons, etc.

• • MC becoming an adoptive dragon mom and grandma getting caught up in disputes between dragons and their relatives, tearing her metaphorical hair out at them always ending up fighting each other despite everything she has tried (including making good use of the time reversal ability).

• • Speaking of, the time reversal ability is dependent on her past self at the target date accepting it. How unique and novel a concept!

Meanwhile the author also shakes things up and provides short "modern day" anecdotes related to the choices of the MC, almost as a footnote to some chapters.

Like a article written by a fantasy version of a paleontologist disagreeing with the church of life's proposed origins of life, citing instead the fossil record which indicates (correctly) that slimes are the origin of life.

It just adds such rich character to this story. It's a fun juxtaposition between what we just read actually happened, and what future people are trying to understand.

This story at the moment of this review is still effectively in "prehistoric times". Humans don't really exist yet.

I speculate that either this will continue in the same manner for much of the future story, or that events will accelerate until we get to c0, which may become a slow life style story, where MC can really come to accept contently what she shaped over the eons.

Final Note:

If you like fantasy stories at all, I think you will enjoy this, period. Whether you are a western fantasy enjoyed, isekai type fantasy enjoyed, or someone who is burnt out fantasy isekai clone #42, 651.

If the author can keep maintaining the quality of writing, this will undoubtedly become a hidden masterpiece of a series. Everything is top notch at the time of this review.

Seriously, give it a read!

EDIT:

WTF. I take a break for a week and the translator nuked their own site,

without heads up. Like I still am appreciative of the translator for all of the series they translated. But if the goal is to just quit, I don't see the problem with giving a notice and give people time to save a copy.

It just seems spiteful. Anyways time to check caches to see if there is any backups.
