Starting from the Dragon Tribe

My Thoughts on Starting from the Dragon Tribe

"Starting from the Dragon Tribe" definitely took me for a ride. Jumping into this novel, I was immediately hit with a whirlwind of action and transmigration that felt both exciting and slightly disorienting. It’s a fanfiction of the Dragon Raja series, which adds a layer of depth if you're familiar with the source material, but honestly, I think you can dive in without prior knowledge, though some plot points might feel a bit... sudden.

First Impressions

The opening chapters are intense. I mean, the protagonist, Lu Chen, goes from being a powerful martial artist to getting nuked in a blink. Talk about a plot twist! It's a zero-to-insane speedrun that throws you headfirst into a new world, a system, and a whole lot of questions. I found myself constantly wondering what was going on.

What Works Well

Despite the chaotic start, the world-building is intriguing. The bloodlines, dragons, and supernatural elements create a rich tapestry that kept me curious. Lu Chen is a compelling character; a total badass who is both powerful and flawed. I enjoyed watching him navigate this new reality and overcome challenges. The action sequences are well-written and exciting, and the level system adds a satisfying progression element.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed many aspects of the story, I did encounter some issues. The pacing can be uneven. There were times when scenes dragged on longer than necessary, stretching what should have been a single chapter into multiple. Additionally, I found some of the character interactions a bit jarring.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Starting from the Dragon Tribe" is a mixed bag. It has a strong premise, an engaging protagonist, and an interesting world. However, the pacing issues, questionable character moments, and occasional problematic elements hold it back. If you're a fan of the Dragon Raja series or enjoy transmigration stories with overpowered protagonists, it might be worth checking out. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
