I Raised A Black Dragon

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The witch, Eleonora Asil, has fifteen previous convictions.

And the transmigrator, Noah Park, had no intentions of being involved in the novel’s original plot of the dragon beheading the villainess. With that thought in mind, she abandoned her title as The Wicked Witch and sought to live a long and peaceful life.

So she heads down to the countryside wrought with deep remorse for all her misdeeds. And all should be happy… or she thought.

“Please raise me!”

And so it would seem that she stumbled upon the heroine’s pet dragon — the black-haired kid that would turn ballistic and obsessive later on — imprinted the villainess as his mother. And to make matters worse, the male lead suspects her as the prime culprit of stealing the dragon.

“How long should I keep up with you?”

She thought he’d arrest her right away, but seems like the male lead was slowly becoming the dragon’s butler.

“Can I hug you?”

“No.”

“Then… can you hold me?”

The villainess believes that the dragon needs a bit of taming.

‘Oh, male lead, won’t you sign a life contract as a real butler?’

i was rather disappointed. I had really high hopes because I never saw that coming.

Spoiler

the original eleonora had returned to her orginal body and noah brought her own body into the world now, I was rather disappointed since I couldn't really go on reading and picturing how she looked like. Furthermore, I really wanted to see how kyle would've treated noah in eleonora's body. So I was heavily disappointed and found it quite a waste of my time. I was looking forward to the ending though

[collapse]

other than that, it was okay. The only thing that kept me reading on was mu, but I eventually dropped it after coming this far. I would like to say that it has a good plot, just quite misleading in the summary.

Spoiler

since it wasn't really transmigration but rather moving realms.

it was nice until this point where it is shown how the author's masochist.

it's annoying already. The male lead was supposed to be smart but at this point he's just like a normal police officer eating a donut. It's annoying so I'll drop

The premise is right up my street and I plesently enjoyed the beginning of the book.

Other people mention her laziness it didn't bother me. If a handsome man wanted to wait on me hand and foot I would do the same.

However, I'm at chapter 119 and I am really annoyed by the fact she's just letting herself be ... more>>
Spoiler

convicted as guilty. Like this is a world with magic so surely there is a way to prove the body's owner has changed. Also calling BS on hiding her identity being safer since the majority of the world seem to want Elenora dead anyway. Even if not surely the ML can find a loophole not involving becoming a convicted criminal with a LIFE SENTENCE. The whole reason she is lazy is to lead a carefree life where she doesn't die or get in trouble due to Elenora's past. This admitting to false charges not even tge 15 she was worried about goes against the whole original premise. Additionaly, your apparent taking responsibility of a baby dragon is to let yourself be degraded with a chain around your neck for the rest of your life being subservient to everyone around you and agreeing with totally ludicrous plans. Aweful role model. I know its probably only temporary because its a story and she the FL. But when important plot points are going to be solved just because she's the FL and even caused by the ML who will probably solve it the story falls flat. Because let's be honest realistically even with story logic Adrian's and MLs attention would eventually wonder. Leaving FL trapped in a lifesentence for something she didn't do with nobody to blame but herself and dragging an adorable baby dragon into a life of servitude with her. Also, if your apparent ML is convincing you to plead guilty to heavy crimes you haven't committed thats a big red flag! Not a ML I want.

[collapse]

The spoiler annoyed me so I kept skipping and skim reading some chapters ahead. It didn't leave me feeling redeemed but annoyed like I had wasted my time.

One redeming factor is the baby dragon only good quality at this point. <<less

I don't know why this is getting high reviews considering how boring this story is. Where do I even start? The MC is incredibly passive and comes across as very weak, often breaking down and crying out of nowhere. Meanwhile, the ML just feels flat and kind of inconsistent. The story feels like it has no downtime, yet the action isn't very good. As far as romance goes, I won't say the two of them have no chemistry at all, but it's not great and it takes over a hundred... more>> chapters for the MC to show any interest at all. What's more, it's just that lame 'jealous of another pretty girl's crap.

It's not a terrible story, but it's super mediocre. I don't think I want to bother finishing it. Honestly I don't see why the story is still going after the imprint completes. There should be no actual threat to Noah at this point either physically or legally, but because her Not Boyfriend is making her jump through hoops the story is still going. <<less

i re-read this novel from chapter 1 after a long time. I just miss their interaction so much. So many people don't like how lazy our FL, well actually nothing so good about her. I admit it. But but but we have a ML who will fill that gap of her laziness and that laziness somehow has its own attraction for me. I can relate with FL because she lives alone she thought as long as she eats, it would be fine. Since she is alone and doesn't really meet... more>> anybody, she keeps the minimum self-care. It's understandable for someone who lives alone. The way she lives is just the same as other college students around me, and I am feeling the urge to take care of them (maybe kyle feels this way too, lol). Then we have Adrian, I think he is that kind of playful man, and I like Noah and Adrian's interaction (when Adrian wooing her). Of course, at some point when Adrian have hidden intention makes him suspicious. About the hook, it's not really a great awesome hook, but it makes me back again. This novel is such a comfortable read. <<less

I really like this novel so much. Unfortunately I only read until ch55. I love the characters so much. If ever this novel would have a manhwa adaptation I think it would be really fluffy.

Was looking for romance, found romance and adventure, action, mystery, flirty banter and tooth-rotting fluff all packed in one chill novel with pretty short, dynamic chapters. The pace is great, the translation flows naturally and so do the exchanges between the characters. ML and FL are just so comfortable with each other that it leads to funnily squeal-worthy scenes, and little Mu is really adorable, given all the foreshadowing that was implied.

I recommend it!

I initially started reading this series just for the supposed cuteness and sweet interactions. However, this novel is so much more than just a sugar fest. Even though I am rating this as just 4/5, it is Mango approved.

First off, I have to say that the "moe" aspects of this novel are just ordinary. The black dragon child is cute, and so are the interactions between the child and female lead. However, these are few and far in-between. Thus, they are not saturated and the few moments are worth more.... more>> This could either be a positive or a negative, and if you are purely looking for a smooth and sweet read, this is a little different.

The plot of this novel is pretty much like an action flick at times. The female lead is wrongly framed as the thief of the black dragon egg. And she faces constant health issues if she doesn't find the original culprit. And she faces assassins for another possible party who want to kill her for her past misdeeds. And she has to deal with the male lead and another hot guy, with whom she had a flame in the past.

As you can tell, the plot and the pacing is quite compact. The moments of lethargy actually seem good, and give much needed breathing space in between the action and mystery oriented arcs. However, the lethargic female lead leaves a lot to be asked for. The problem? Not her lethargy, but rather her naivety when she has some set target but not the fuel to work for that target. You are often left disappointed by her mistakes, and as a flawed character... She is good. Is she likable? Not for me. But we can live with it.

Because we have the cute kid who just wants to get to mama, but is also sensible enough to sacrifice for his mama. The initial comedic interactions with the kid are priceless, and set a good entrance to the story. And the addition of the diligent and rather cute male lead brings everything together.

Overall, a rather perfect offering for this genre which is fresh. I have removed the one star because of the female lead, but that is a rather subjective rating from me.

This is Mango approved. <<less

I love the baby dragon. He's the absolute cutest lil thing.

The relationship between the FL and ML is funny as hell. It's not romantic at all yet but it's entertaining.

I can't say I personally relate to Noah but I find her funny. I'm more like the ML [aka super clean, cooks, a bit on the rigid side] but I like that she's kinda sloppy because it irks ML and it's hilarious. But actually though.... I'd probably not like her in real life. Lazy to a certain extent is okay but... more>> wasting away is a bit much.

The chapters are rather short and I don't join patreon accounts usually so I like to wait for 4-5 chapters and read them at once. The translation quality is fairly nice and it's appreciated because access to raws to mtl is blocked where I live for most Korean novels. <<less

A typical fantasy romance KR novel but the personality of Park Noah (MC) makes it different from the others.

MC has an attitude similar to mob character. She is not OP in magic nor a genius however she is a rational person combined with laziness. She also can't take care of herself very well because of her inability to cook food. So to me, "Isn't this a very similar situation to anybody?"

With this kind of character, we might really see what could happen when a modern person transmigrated to a... more>> fantasy world.

Also, I think the 'mature' genre refers to child rearing. Who knows? <<less

We are at the beginning but the story is really positive : we have a lot of fluffy moments with a cute baby, a witch FL and a detective ML. We are in a fantasy world where there is magic, dragons and some mysteries we'll discover later ! And for the moment, there isn't some useless psycho turning around. 'Can't wait to read more !

About the translation, it's well done with a respected shedule. Have a look to his/her other project (different and darker but so fuc*ing good) !

The pacing is great. We get different POVs from the main characters too. I love the fact that it's a slow burning romance. It makes it all the more real.

The characters are also refreshing and most people can actual relate to them. I love it! Looking forward for more.

I loved it so much!!! The author had a banger world building accompanied by very stylish scene depiction which I loved. They were also able to tie up the loose ends leaving me with no regrets or rather minimized my feelings of leaving the high of after-effects of reading a good af novel. I also beg to differ to those who was not in favor where MC occasionally takes action despite being labelled as lazy. If you really have read every single line in the novel you would understand the... more>> reason why.

Spoiler

The MC has depression and trauma due to her past family; but that doesn't mean that she can't think or is super perceptive and smart. She has exclaimed at some part that she is rather very normal.

[collapse]

I would like to claim instead that the author was able to build and guide the development of the characters (esp overcoming their trauma) well along with the creative banger of a storyline the author has put together.

To those considering of reading this, the novel was set in a magic + steampunk era akin to industrial revolution in a European setting. As it is also a mystery genre, there were indeed lots of mysteries and crimes to be addressed. The budding romantic relationship of the main characters was also very cute from head on that develops gradually as they tackle on their issues and their feelings. The author doesn't neglect the socioeconomic environment as well which is a huge plus for me.

Overall it was very worth the read I highly recommend it. 💕💕💕 <<less

This is one of the best k-novels I have read. (Also thank you to Sweet Escape for an excellent translation!) This novel is the most realistic out of the ones I have read too.

-A lot of people give the MC sh*t for people lazy, but to me it is a very realistic situation given the cause of her death (overworking). She was most likely still depressed over her death and a. She isn't able to use the magic of the body and b. In this era of time period, cooking... more>> would be really hard work. I mean, cooking in modern times also takes so much time.

-ML is also a well written character. No "he is so smart, so strong" without actions. No, the ML's qualities are actually proven and shown through his actions, how he handles a difficult situation. Also, he is somewhat of a tsundere but he is a very sweet tsundere. His "coldness" actually isn't really cold--he's just very rational and gets things done. He isn't overly simpy too. The way the MC and ML's relationship progresses is very natural. It's the only couple that gives me butterflies--perhaps because the characters and relationship are well fleshed out.

-The plot flows well, and the villains aren't some green tea or white lotus characters--the villain has a backstory and reasons and is also has a fleshed out character.

-I wish there was more fluff with the dragon (Muelle) and MC, but its ok. :D The slow-burn romance is nice too, also I do wish they would have gotten together sooner. Well, it is slow-burn for a reason haha.

Spoiler

I think the MC constantly trying to send Mu back to the capital was a bit harsh, but she's just met him--and only thinks of him as a obstacle to a peaceful life in the countryside. Also, MC was raised by a neglectful family, so she doesn't trust herself to take care of a child.

[collapse]

Overall this story was really satisfying for me. 10/10 recommend. <<less

First of all, the translation is beautiful, I haven't read this kind of quality in a long long time. Great choice of wording to keep the atmosphere consistent.
I really enjoyed reading this novel, I love the slow burn and the natural transition between detective-suspect to butler-lazy young lady to family/friends then to lovers 🙃

I feel FL is so relatable sometimes 😂 and I like that the ML is not so perfect but he's perfect for her.

I really like the world building a lot, it's a mixture of industrial... more>> era but with magic 🪄 and it blends so well!
There is a social strata but not so obvious probably cuz both ML & FL are equally (in) famous and powerful?

The pace is very nice, not too slow, not too fast, not too wordy just enough to draw the picture. I really appreciate how the author described the cuteness of Mu, it's not just saying he's cute but by his actions, if u get what I mean. Also, like when describing how cool and skillful the ML (as the best detective/police officer) by his actions and his natural deductions, not by narration saying how cool he is. Moreover, the background details like the ML's job/skill has been used consistently and not just as a background info like many other novels that just gloss over it and focus on the romance only.

I know that the ML is not exactly the sweetest at first, but it's more consistent with his personality, he's very professional and he's very good with his job which makes it extra sweet when he fell for her. For the FL, I know that some of the reviews said that she's extremely lazy that it doesn't make sense 😂. I feel that she's very relatable tho especially if u live alone. For food, she actually really enjoyed the butler treatment, it's just sometimes she has different priorities 🤷‍♀️ I feel like she does enjoy eating, it's just that compared to sleeping or not washing dishes, not as much.

The mystery is gripping. I really didn't expect that quality from a novel with this kind of click bait tittle type 😂. Surprisingly have lots of substance, really good 👍

Overall, what I enjoy the most about this novel is just how wholesome everything is. The characters were all well developed and relatable, even the villains. The world building is rich, lots of scene variety
Spoiler

(from the house, to train, to the cruise, to the capital, to the mine, to the lake, the factory)

The pace is great, kept me interested until the end.

Man, writing this review takes me back, I'm still enjoying the aftertaste although it's not finished yet but it's enough to tell that this novel is great, reminds me of the novels I used to read when I was in school, before I know all of those toxic relationships novels, before those CEO ML craze, before those brain rotting reverse harem novels, before I know what yandere is... Simpler times when I still think love is not so hopeless afterall, simpler times when I wasn't so desperate to read MTL quality translations 🥲 <<less

honestly, i've loved this story from the first chapter, the author's writing is perfect, and the translation is amazing in a way that doesn't get in the way of the original author's message and feelings.

The plot of being reborn into a novel and changing the entire original script may just seem cliché, but the cliché ends at just this point.

there is no such thing as stalling to get to the center of the story, the 'villain' doesn't really try to change her behavior or stays at the center of the... more>> story, She just turns the f*ck on and disappears from the map. Confusion (the dragon) is the one who searches for it. But many points leave something to be desired, such as the simple fact of considering the soul of another person in the LF body as if it were something normal.

Spoiler

An even more irritating thing is that everything around the minister and the woman who actually stole the dragon's egg is too suspicious, BUT NO ONE DOES ANYTHING. Adrian just starts manipulating noah As he finds it convenient and she just accepts, FORGETTING THE FACT THAT HE WAS ACCUSEDING HER DURING THE JUDGMENT AND THAT HE BROKE INTO HER f*ckING ROOM WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING

[collapse]

If you are as anxious as I am, please prepare yourself, from chapter 110 onwards many things will make you mad
Spoiler

Investigators break into the room where she is sleeping and point a gun to her head in addition to treating her like a piece of shit. What the f*ck, and kyle still treats her like a Idiot without explaining anything. Imagine the sense of betrayal he must have felt, the only person she trusted was treating her like crap

[collapse]

Anyway, congratulations to the author and translator. It's an amazing work. <<less
