The Raccoon Ate The Dragon

My Thoughts on The Raccoon Ate The Dragon

Okay, let me tell you, "The Raccoon Ate The Dragon" was quite the ride! This one-shot (that thankfully has a sequel!) definitely left an impression, and I'm itching to dive into the next part of the story.

First Impressions

From the very beginning, the premise grabbed me. A tipsy, bold Tanuki (in human form, of course!) deciding to… ahem… attack a powerful Dragon? Sign me up! The comedic setup alone had me chuckling, and I knew I was in for something different. The story wastes no time in throwing you into the deep end, and that's part of its charm.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a standout. The main character's brazen attitude and inner monologue are hilarious. It's the kind of humor that makes you cringe and laugh at the same time. The author does a great job of balancing the comedic elements with the more… sensual aspects of the story. And let's be honest, the chemistry between the Tanuki and the Dragon (who is, conveniently, a Yakuza heir) is scorching.

I also appreciate the author's ability to create a compelling dynamic between the leads. The MC is chaotic and unpredictable, while the ML is powerful and calculating. It’s a classic opposites-attract scenario that works incredibly well. The plot moves quickly and keeps you engaged from beginning to end.

Areas of Concern

Because it's a one-shot (prequel), it does leave you wanting more. I'm definitely curious to explore the Dragon's perspective and delve deeper into his motivations. While the MC's thought process is entertaining, it can be a bit much at times.

Final Verdict

Overall, "The Raccoon Ate The Dragon" is a fun, steamy, and hilarious read. It's perfect if you're looking for something lighthearted with a touch of spice. The characters are engaging, the plot is intriguing, and the humor is on point. I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you're in the mood for something a little bit different. I'm already eagerly awaiting the full translation of the sequel!
