My Thoughts on The Dragon and The Alchemist
After diving into "The Dragon and The Alchemist," I can see why it's garnered a solid 4-star rating. The premise is instantly captivating: a cursed alchemist seeking revenge with the help of a dragon. It's a blend of fantasy, romance, and a touch of the forbidden with its yaoi tag, which immediately piqued my interest.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are strong. We're introduced to Siol, the Alchemist of Death, in his isolated fortress, surrounded by political intrigue and brewing betrayals. The setup is compelling, and I immediately felt invested in Siol's plight. The story quickly establishes the key players: the seemingly loyal apprentice Nathaniel, the potentially power-hungry King, and the enigmatic dragon, Eorzen.
What Works Well
The world-building is intriguing. The concept of alchemy intertwined with the presence of dragons and beastkin creates a unique fantasy setting. The dynamic between Siol and Eorzen is also a major draw. Eorzen's kindness and care towards Siol, even when Siol is at his lowest, creates a compelling foundation for their relationship. The side characters, like Ladie and Ryufen, also add depth to the narrative. Ladie's loyalty and Ryufen's initial hostility that turns into a strange form of mentorship add layers to Siol's journey. The plot moves at a good pace, revealing secrets and betrayals that keep you hooked.
