One Day I Became a Hatchling

My Thoughts on One Day I Became a Hatchling

First Impressions

When I first stumbled upon "One Day I Became a Hatchling," I was cautiously optimistic. The reincarnation-as-a-monster trope is well-trodden ground, and I wasn't sure if this novel would offer anything new. However, the premise of an Eastern Imugi reincarnating as a Western dragon immediately piqued my interest. It felt like a creative twist on familiar themes, and I was eager to see how the author would handle it.

What Works Well

The most refreshing aspect of this novel is its unique take on dragon lore. The protagonist's background as an Imugi, skilled in martial arts, brings a fresh perspective to the typical Western dragon fantasy. It's not just about magic; it's about a blend of Eastern and Western combat styles, which makes for some exciting and unpredictable action sequences. The author does a great job of world-building, creating a believable and engaging fantasy world for the hatchling to navigate. I also appreciate the "cute protagonist" tag; the author successfully portrays the MC as endearing without making them overly childish or annoying.

Areas of Concern

Because the novel is ongoing, I think I will hold my final judgement until the story is complete, but I worry about the limited lifespan tag, I want to know where the author is going with this.

Final Verdict

Overall, "One Day I Became a Hatchling" is a delightful surprise. It takes familiar tropes and injects them with originality and creativity. The blend of Eastern and Western dragon lore, the engaging world-building, and the endearing protagonist make for a compelling read. If you're looking for a fresh take on the reincarnation-as-a-monster genre, this novel is definitely worth checking out. I am eagerly awaiting future updates.
