Description
I was reincarnated as a dragon. Well, I was still a young dragon, but now I’m officially becoming a full-fledged dragon. Becoming a mature dragon is all well and good, but what to do now? I’m not particularly interested in finding a mate. However, I do need to decide where to live. It would probably be good to have some interaction with human settlements. Maybe I should dig a cave at the foot of a mountain near a human settlement to live in. Well, who knows what will happen from here on out.

My Thoughts on When I Was Reincarnated, I Was a Dragon. Now That I’m a Dragon, I’m Going to Build My Own Castle
Okay, so I dove into "When I Was Reincarnated, I Was a Dragon. Now That I’m a Dragon, I’m Going to Build My Own Castle" with a healthy dose of anticipation. The title alone promises a unique blend of fantasy and kingdom-building, and I'm always up for that. However, my experience was a bit… underwhemling.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise is intriguing. A reincarnated dragon decides to build a castle? Sign me up! But pretty quickly, I found myself wanting more. The early chapters focus heavily on the nuts and bolts of construction, and while some might find that engaging, I felt like it lacked a certain spark. The story felt more like a log of progress updates.
What Works Well
It's not all bad, though. The translation quality seems solid, which is a definite plus. It keeps me from getting completely lost in the details. The potential for a good story is definitely there. The idea of a dragon-turned-architect is inherently fun, and I could see it blossoming into something special with a bit more depth.
Areas of Concern
The biggest issue, for me, is the lack of depth in almost every area. The characters feel flat, and their motivations are murky at best. The main character, despite being a dragon, comes across as surprisingly bland. I didn't get a strong sense of his personality or goals beyond simply "building a castle." The lack of emotional engagement made it hard to connect with the story.
The world-building also feels somewhat underdeveloped. I wanted to know more about the setting, the cultures, and the potential conflicts. As it stands, the story feels a bit too contained, like a Minecraft playthrough without a guide or any real stakes. The dragon and reincarnation aspects feel almost irrelevant, which is a shame. I was hoping these elements would add unique flavor, but they seem like mere afterthoughts. Even the descriptions were lacking and it was difficult to visualize the characters or setting.
Final Verdict
Ultimately, "When I Was Reincarnated, I Was a Dragon. Now That I’m a Dragon, I’m Going to Build My Own Castle" has potential, but it needs a lot more work to truly shine. If you're looking for a light, easy read with a focus on kingdom-building mechanics, you might find something to enjoy here. However, if you're seeking a story with compelling characters, rich world-building, and emotional depth, you might want to look elsewhere. For now, it's a 2.5/5 from me.
