Description
Ten years have passed since Michika transmigrated to another world at the age of eighteen. Now almost thirty years old and working as a traveling merchant she has managed to accumulate a lot of wealth from selling rare ingredients and due to her special skill. However, Michika was tired of living alone and wished for a family. So one day, when she encountered a woman whipping a young lizard boy who was wearing a s*ave collar, she impulsively ended up spending all of that day’s earned money to buy him from his master. “Well, lizard boy, won’t you become my child?” She offered, planning to adopt him and have him become her son. (But, I’m a dragon…) And four years later, Michika, who by then was a thirty-two-year-old lady, was suddenly pinned down by her eighteen-year-old child who then confessed his love for her. Being told of his love… she ran away.

My Thoughts on He’s not a Lizard, But a Dragon
First Impressions
He's not a Lizard, But a Dragon immediately caught my eye with its intriguing title and tags. The premise of a traumatized woman transmigrating to another world and adopting a similarly wounded boy held a lot of promise. I was hoping for a heartwarming story about healing and found that, for the most part. The novel doesn't shy away from heavy topics, but it also aims to deliver a satisfying romance.
What Works Well
The core strength of this novel lies in its characters and their development. Michika and Cedric's journey from trauma to healing is compelling, and I appreciated how the story explores their evolving relationship. Many readers praised the fast-paced nature of the plot, and I agree that it keeps you engaged. The romance, while unconventional, provides a unique dynamic as they navigate their past traumas together. The world-building, while not the primary focus, is solid enough to support the narrative. The smut, while not overly abundant, is a welcome addition for those seeking it. I also found the extra content updates to be a nice bonus.
Areas of Concern
While the story has many positive aspects, there are a few areas that gave me pause. The pacing, while generally appreciated, can feel rushed at times, especially in the transition from a familial to a romantic relationship. Some plot points felt a little too convenient or out of character.

Final Verdict
Overall, I found He's not a Lizard, But a Dragon to be an enjoyable, albeit imperfect, read. It's a short and sweet story that explores complex themes of trauma, healing, and love. While some plot elements and character decisions may raise eyebrows, the heartwarming core of the story and the characters' growth make it a worthwhile experience for readers who don't mind a bit of unconventional romance. I'd recommend it as a quick and engaging read, but with a word of caution about potentially triggering content.
