Description
Although Luo Qingci knew her name resembled that of a protagonist from ancient stories, she never expected to find herself transmigrated into a cultivation novel one day. What made her even more exasperated was that she didn’t transmigrate as the female lead, but rather the female lead’s cannon fodder master. This cultivation novel is a typical, strong female lead type story, except the female lead isn’t human; she’s a dragon. Under the conflict between the humans and dragons, the female lead was tortured by humans in all sort of manners, scummed by the male lead, before turning into a super OP villainous character that destroys the cultivation realm. As for the female lead’s master, Huaizhu-jun, who left behind a single egg after massacring the female lead’s family right at the very beginning of the story, then later on uses various methods to torment her naive disciple, ends up with her spiritual roots destroyed, her bones ripped out, and dies without a single body part intact. When Luo Qingci transmigrated over and found the floor soaked in blood, alongside a pitch-black, extremely ugly egg-shaped object, she immediately turned stone-faced. Is there still time for her to cook this egg now? Female lead much later: Shizun, aren’t you the dragon slaying fiend? How did you overlook me? Luo Qingci: Your egg was too ugly. Female lead: Shizun, this humiliated look of yours, I love it a lot. Luo Qingci: That’s too pe*verted. Female lead: Shizun, I like you. Did you ever like me, even if a little bit? Luo Qingci: I’m not dumb. Female lead: …… Biased and secretly dark disciple vs cold on the outside, hot on the inside shizun. Alternatively: “When does shizun expose herself” or “Unveiling shizun’s secrets with me and shizun”.

My Thoughts on The Art of Taming the Dragon
"The Art of Taming the Dragon" is a wild ride, and I can definitely see why it's garnered such a dedicated following. It's one of those stories that grabs you from the start and refuses to let go, even if it occasionally throws you for a loop.
First Impressions
Initially, it presents itself as a fairly typical transmigration story, complete with a system and an OP protagonist. Our MC finds herself in a cultivation novel, not as the heroine, but as the heroine's cannon fodder master. The premise is intriguing: a dragon slayer forced to raise the very dragon she was meant to kill. The early chapters are lighthearted and even a bit comedic, focusing on the slice-of-life aspects of raising a baby dragon, which I found to be incredibly sweet.
What Works Well
The core strength of this novel lies in its characters, particularly the dynamic between the MC and the dragon-turned-female lead. Their relationship is complex, evolving from a master-disciple dynamic to something much deeper. I appreciated the author's willingness to explore the nuances of their bond, even when it gets angsty and dramatic. The emotional depth and the characters' struggles to overcome their past traumas are genuinely compelling. The plot is well-paced, with enough twists and turns to keep me engaged. I also loved how the author didn't shy away from the romantic relationship, allowing it to develop naturally and significantly impacting the plot.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, I can see how some readers might find certain aspects less appealing. The drama can be intense, and at times, the MC's actions are heavily restricted by the system, leading to frustrating situations. Some of the side characters and antagonists could have been more fleshed out, and the ending, while happy, might not satisfy everyone.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "The Art of Taming the Dragon" is a worthwhile read, especially if you enjoy stories with strong female leads, complex relationships, and plenty of emotional depth. It's a novel that will make you laugh, cry, and root for its characters until the very end. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a wuxia story with a focus on the relationship between two strong, independent women.
