The oldest and strongest ancient Dragon who grew tired of living chose to die when the Heroes came for his life. The dragon was supposed to sleep forever in the underworld, but when he woke up, he had been reborn as a human baby.

The Dragon then regained its will to live and decided to live its life as a Human to the fullest. The Dragon was born as the son of a farmer and lives his life in the frontier, possessing enormous amounts of power due to his soul being that of a Dragon.

He then encountered the half-human, half-snake lamia Selina, and later joins the Magic Academy. During his days at the magic academy, the human, who was once a dragon, lives his life in joy, spending time with beautiful and strong classmates, and his former friends, the Earth Goddess, the Vampire Queen, and the Dragon Empress.

Interesting concept but the main character is just incoherent. At times he goes to great lengths to hide his dragon superpowers and sometimes he just blows his cover for no reason at all. The story turned out a lot more violent than you'd infer from the synopsis, but all the fights are just the MC holding back even if it endangers his friends or social position or allows the enemy to flee and prepare for another attack. Kind of similar to The New Gate in this sense, can't say I... more>> liked that one either.

A more subtle but prevalent issue would be the protagonist's character. Supposedly he has lived for aeons as a dragon and has accumulated tremendous amounts of experience, but as a human he seems to be excited or impressed by just about everything, including but not limited to all of his women acquaintances' beauty and combat prowess, even though he himself should match a demigod while weakened. In addition he supposedly wants to protect his village and live a peaceful life, but either is too shortsighted to achieve this goal or just keeps making the wrong decisions, which I guess gives the author a way to show off the MC as he cleans up his own mess. As stated, he pretty much spends the first half of fights just narrating his treasured allies dodging blows, of which every one supposedly would pulverise a normal human, before jumping in to save the day himself. <<less

It's sad how this project is discontinued. The story is simple; a dragon that had lived for eons was killed by human for unknown reason. He had no particular attachment to life, so he accepted his death pretty easily. The Goddess (which also his friend) who saw his death pitied his view of life, and decided to reincarnated him as a mortal human.

The story is mainly about his life as a (quite OP) human and his interpersonal relationship with many race. About how he slowly matures and discovers the joy... more>> of living through interacting with other races. <<less

The MC being the oldest dragon, he should have been ruthless and antihero (in his life he must have seen countless cruelties and deaths)

The world is too innocent. All intelligent life forms fear things that are not under their control, weather it causes trouble or not

i just wanted to leave this message just in case the translation get restarted:

overall it's a real nice story, however you must be ready for really sudden jump in story atmosphere

... more>>
Spoiler

one chapter he is training at a human academy while making new friends with talented people and killing average demons/vampires together, soon after he is building public baths and rest areas while thinking of how to boost the tourism and economy of his village, followed almost directly by an epic fight at multiple time the speed of light while wielding entire universes as weapon

the novel constantly jump between those three "level" of existence, the "powerful individuals" friends, the "common people" family and the "over the top god tier/destruction of the world when sneezing" enemies that pop on occasion, it can be disorienting at time

Feels like watching a long documentary of a selfless man (dragon) living in a insect world.

The emphasis is on the ordinary, and whims of the commoners, as he the story happens to the mc; the MC doesn't make the story happen, he just 'is'.

Like a Titan bending over and smelling a big pile of mud for the sake of being smaller than life.

For me it's like a long recording of the flowers in a camp, moving with the wind, then the scenery changes to a swamp.. Then to the mountains..... more>> The thing is there is never a subject, only ordinary whims interacting with background scenery.

it feels like life never changes and the only thing that remains is the status quo or the efforts​ to appreciate and tolerate mediocrity of the world. <<less

A smooth read about a dragon embarking on a new life as human. There is room for interesting development in plot, but just barely leaving the expostion. Back tracking the fights are good as they are not complex, but neither are they simple, so it's easy to read for general readers. Overall it's more then your average read at this stage.

Fights are incredibly boring and drag on for ages with overly descriptive prose. Main character's "hidden power" completely drains the fights of all tension. There's not even a good reason for him to hide his power, ffs.

This is a travesty.

On one hand, the story telling and writing is great. Detail descriptions and wording make the world alive, it's a bit boring and repetitive sometime, but it is not particularly too verbose to make it a chore to read.

But then we get to the school arc... why? We don't need a school arc in this story, we are basically force to go to school after the big world building with ancient gods, dragon relationships, and friend/rival evil god. I want to see more Diadora, Vaje, and the... more>> other. The reason why the main character has to go to school can be achieve by other means. It's such a big turn around that it turns me off from reading further. <<less

Completely agree with the top rated review. The MC professionally contradicts how he should be acting as a dragon whose been born since the dawn of time, all powerful and all knowing. He is literally excited and interested at every mundane thing.

But to add onto it, the story just feels very weak in all it's developments and setups. It feels very low effort, and together with the wish fulfillment setup feels. It is also one of those pick up free harem girls stories where MC heroically saves a girl picking... more>> up an easy to handle harem member <<less

The concept is really nice. The MC has two identities - one of a human and one of a dragon. The human part is... well... a decent enough overpowered isekai story, but it's nothing to write home about. However the ancient dragong part is something I've never seen before and is really interesting to read.

This is just the beginning, but I've got the feeling that the dragon will keep my attention for a long time until I'm sick and tired of the same isekai cliche.
