Depending on how this is executed it might be decent. As long as it doesn’t turn into a harem.
Also to the people complaining about the dragon turning into a girl.
Fuck you dragon girls are hot.

Abandoned in the mountains, I'm adopted by a lizard. I've mastered magic and surpassed my parents, but I never knew they were legendary old dragons
These titles are already absurd as is but I think this one takes the cake for me.

Why do these people insist on providing the whole plot of their series in the title?

All it does is confirm that yes, this work is a piece of shit, and those are hours of your life you'll never get back.

So in other words, you think Solo Leveling is shit... got it.

So, for those complaining about the title:

First, that's really not the plot. That's JUST how the story starts.

Second, this was a light novel before it was a manga. As you know, light novels, webnovels, and other media, unofficial or official, use descriptive titles to basically say "This is what you're about to get into. If you don't like how that sounds, gtfo." Kind of like if a news article mentions Ukraine or Gaza and you don't want to read it, you'll avoid the article yeah?

Third (but not related to the title), Romance, but not Harem in the tags. The translator keeps adding harem jokes at the end, but who knows how that will play out. I've seen some really bad tags on anime and manga in the past. Like sites that don't add the magic tag to Familiar of Zero.

The Raw's had 'ecchi' in the tags so I included them. but... other then 1 possible panel in the first chapter, I have seen nothing remotely 'ecchi' in all the raws I have looked at.

Here's a story improvised by a five years old: "The hero, he wants to save a girl from the bad guys, he goes to save her on his super bike. But the bad guys see him, and they shoot a missile. And then, there's an explosion, and the hero jump over it, and he lands on a dinosaurus, and he rides it, and then, and then he shoot the bad guys, but the chief of the bad guys, he has an armor that stop the bullets, so the hero attack him with the laser on the dinosaurus' head, and it cut the armor, and the bad guy is dead, and the hero untie the girl, the end."

That's what I felt I was reading. What really cemented this feeling was when, to stop some bad guy attacking, the MC materialize a castle wall. Not a simple barrier, a wall made of adamantium, orichalcum or whatever indestructible material, but a full 10m/30 feet wide structure, complete with towers and crenelations, just for a few seconds, to stop the single guy running at them from a few meters/yards away, while already being inside a warehouse.

There's showing your MC is OP, and then there's adding lasers to the dinosaurus.

"Parents" only one parent. "Never knew they were dragons" but MC sees it with his own eyes all the time. This title makes no sense

Lasers are cool. Dinosaurs are cool. Lasers on dinosaurs are extra cool.

That said, I very much hope this story goes somewhere beyond the academy. A completely OP main hero can still be fun when done right, and this MC has the basic building blocks of not wanting to abuse how OP he is but still wanting to help people. The author just needs to get him past the school arc and out into the wider world.

Meh. IMO, this story lacks a proper sense of scale and realism, as well as proper story structure.
The fun of an OP protagonist is seeing them interact with (and break) a realisting setting. This is not that.

The people don't act as people would act when put in an odd situation, but like the author thinks it would be fun or convenient if people acted. True for most manga, but extra egregious here. You just really get the feeling that the author is moving the characters around like a five-year-old with action figures.

It's got kind of an "Axe Cop" feeling to it, but without the charm that Axe Cop has.

Over all, I would give it 4.5/10 - just barely more interesting than staring at a wall.
