A Sovereign's Scorn

Dragon's Dilemma, Book 1

Typhoeus is a dragon. To the humans hunting him, he is nothing more than a monster, a mindless beast to be killed for levels and glory.

To him, adventurers are not that much better. Exiled from his home due to a trait on his status, and so very tired of killing adventurers on a near daily basis, Typhoeus decides to seek refuge hidden amongst the cowed remnants of humanity that populate this world.

Armed with a millennium of mystical knowledge and a powerful new skill that lets him take on the guise of a completely average human woman, the dragon must decide if he can be more than just the words on his status. Flung headfirst into a life of romance and adventure, this is his story.

The Dragon's Dilemma series is the queer romantic fantasy LitRPG mashup featuring a shapeshifting dragon, an uncaring system, sapphic love, and an ancient threat.

Relationships are hard when you’re a dragon

Typhoeus is an interesting character, despite being an immensely powerful dragon, he’s a total weakling by his races standards. Which makes his decision to hide out among humans much more sensible. His choice to masquerade as a human woman leads to some very interesting consequences. And of course there’s the human who he picks up to help with his disguise that turns into something more. This book was a fun read, with some very interesting relational dynamics, an interesting class and skil system, and an intriguing world. My only note for readers is that this book also includes very descriptive sex scenes, which could be an issue for some readers.

Truly Surprised How Enjoyable This Was.

A male dragon, transforming himself to a human woman (for reasons that are quite comedic, in a good way), hiding, gaining strength, and falling in love with another woman...

Not going to lie, I was truly hesitant on trying this series. I'm all for queer and transgendered love, but STRONGLY prefer reading books where the main character is heterosexual and usually male (just being honest). Still this book was so entertaining I instantly bought book 2.

The characters are really the selling point of this series. The MC trying (and failing) to act like a woman is exacerbated with the fact that he doesn't know how to act like a human, which causes a lot of humorous moments and problems. At the same time there is the love-interest's journey in growing out of her weakness and ignorance. The villains, while not unique or complex, display levels of cruelty that are designed for you to hate.

While the drama between the characters lays at the forefront of the book, the undertones regarding the upcoming cataclysmic event is going to be decides if this series stay great. The history of the world, magic, and haunting future are well written so far.

Only negative that I can say so far about the series, is the unfairness that is targeted at one of the characters that, arguably, did all the wrong things for all the right reasons. Hopefully it's rectified in book 2.

Overall, this series is a hidden gem. Worth gambling on and experiencing something truly different and entertaining.

A good first try...

There is nothing outrageously bad about this story. I have definitely seen far worse versions of this type, however it does fall into some of the pit falls that plague self published authors. Poor to no real description of characters and places, chapters that were clearly thought of after previous chapters had already been written, and more than a few redundant sentences and paragraphs that didn't need to be there. On the bright side the story for the most part seems to have a clear goal for where it is heading, which gives it far more coherency than you usually see with this kind of thing. The romance is also pretty good. Better yet there is no over the top sexualization of every female character including the children, so that is refreshing. Yeah Typh based her form off of what essentially was porn artistry, but it is mostly seen as embarrassing on Typh's part and concerning on other's. There is sex, but it is treated far more normally than the usual hyper fixation that mostly just turns this genre in to creepy child porn, harems, or both. Lastly the author does a really good job of giving the normal OP character a real compelling personality and interesting problems, that leave you wanting to know more.
Lol i like the narrator, but her British way of pronouncing some words had me confused a few times. Like calling a Lich a Lick. Not a horrible sin but i could see a few people getting overly angry about something like.
Overall it didn't wow me, but i didn't hate it either. Meh? if you got the credit to spare and nothing better go forit.

Great story

Can't wait to see if there's another book this one was enjoyable! A great way to potentially start of a series if the author wanted.
