Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling Vol. 1-7



ISEKAI’D BY:

Summoning?

Harem Scale

H: Illusia’s moral compass is off the charts.

A: He has absolutely no awareness that a bunch of cute girls (or lizards) are after him.

R: No romance, period.

E: Low ecchi levels. Most ecchi is costuming, and even then the costumes are mostly very reasonable.

M: It’s a fun series!

Harem:

Black Lizard; girl whose name i forgot but is on the cover with boob socks; cat girl

In a world full of dangerous monsters, our unnamed protagonist finds himself reborn at the very bottom of the food chain as an immobile, powerless egg. Even just hatching will require leveling up by fighting monsters–the same monsters who’d love to eat him as a snack. But with the help of the mysterious voice in his head, he’s determined to grow into the most powerful creature in the world!

so i’ve been waiting around for this one to get officially translated for some time because back when i read it i was stuck around where he is trying to defend the village. i finally get to catch up manga wise!

firstly, i like the visual style. it has really strong black and whites with thick lines and sharp angles. sometimes it DOES get really cluttered to look at, but once you get used to the sort of art it has everything clicks. it DOES take a hot minute.

although i sorta classified this as a harem, it’s a rather dubious classification, so i stuck it under the subversion. he ain’t pervy and my #1 ship with him is black lizard. who is a black lizard.

i like watching him strive against the hand of fate. dude is trying to hard and doesn’t want to be a tragedy just out there walking around so he regularly tries to set people up for success and leave. that said, he’s so nice that it keeps backfiring.

the action scenes are where this is best and you can tell just how much the artist loves the source material. really enjoy it.

discord notes

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
