I've read over a hundred chapters of this novel now. This is the type of monster MC you would either adore or hate. Why do I say this? This protagonist never truly becomes a dragon, at heart or soul, he will always be human. You could see this from each and every one of his interactions with sentient species; every time he inflicts harm upon them he would wallow in self-pity, guilt and philosophical debates (on the universe, life and death) for chapters on end. There's no growth to him as a dragon, whilst his power grows, his personality stays just as it was in chapter 1. Him living for years as a dragon doesn't change him a bit...which I find extremely disappointing.
