The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon! Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!
"The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!" promised a unique twist on the isekai genre, and while it delivers in some aspects, it also stumbles in others. It's a story about a salaryman who wakes up as an Earth Dragon, and decides to embrace a life of leisure, but the execution is a bit hit-or-miss.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the "feral dragon" perspective. The idea of a protagonist who just wants to eat rocks and sleep in peace was a refreshing change of pace. The early chapters, though short, had a certain charm, giving off a happy-go-lucky vibe. However, this initial charm quickly fades as the story progresses.
What Works Well
The world-building, especially concerning the dungeon creation, is definitely a highlight. The gradual evolution of the dungeon and the monsters within is interesting, and the author does a decent job of creating a unique ecosystem. Some readers found the side characters, like Elibel and Ann, more compelling than the MC himself. The translation work is also commendable, with many praising the quality and readability.
Areas of Concern
The biggest issue I encountered was the protagonist himself. While the "lazy" and "carefree" tags are accurate, the MC often comes across as simply dense and frustratingly passive. His lack of development, even after numerous chapters, is a major point of contention. The story also suffers from tonal inconsistencies, with sudden shifts from slice-of-life to darker, more dramatic events that feel jarring. The author's tendency to introduce plot conveniences and "disaster" scenarios to force the plot forward also detracts from the overall experience.

Final Verdict
"The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!" has potential, but it's ultimately a mixed bag. The unique premise and dungeon-building aspects are appealing, but the flawed protagonist, tonal inconsistencies, and reliance on plot armor hold it back. If you're looking for a lighthearted read with a unique perspective and don't mind a frustratingly dense MC, it might be worth a try. However, be prepared for a story that often feels directionless and lacks the depth to truly engage.
