It seemed like this place was a fantasy world where strange-looking beasts ran rampant. And just like in a game, I seemed to be able to check my enemies’ and my ability.
Let’s hunt monsters and gather titles in order to level up and evolve into a Greater Dragon!
And I heard a mysterious voice in my head, “Let’s aim to be the strongest!”

Ok so my problem with this novel is something that happens super early on and it is when he picks the calamity dragon evolution its just so dumb it confuses me. Look I get he wants to make friends but if that is the case then why in he'll would you pick a form that with it everyone will try to kill you on sight. Just for a human transformation skill even if he did get the skill he will always have to hide the fact he is a dragon or everyone even his friends will try kill him. I mean it had evil in its description. And this was when I knew this wasn't for me I need some sort of commen sense in my MC at least enough to not pick the literal evil option. Cause there is a difference between naive innocence and just being s*upid.
So to start a list one of the first issues I can think of is when he is an egg, while things like him being abandoned in this random forest might be explained later his overall luck as an egg just feels unrealistic. For the entire time after he evolves out of his egg he continues to run into more and more monsters, things like wolves, spiders, clay bears, ect. yet during the time he was a weak egg he never ran into any of these big threats. There isn't any reasoning given like him going deeper into the forest, the enemies just end up having strength comparable to him. There are a lot of things like this where the world itself just feels like something painted for that part of the story rather than a realistic world.
The biggest annoyance to me for this story is how s*upid the main character is, to the point where it feels like natural selection for him to be dead. I'm not specifically referring to him picking the plague dragon evolution path because of human transformation, yeah its incredibly dumb but you can at least argue his loneliness fueled that decision. What I'm referring to is just his day-to-day life that just makes MC seem really s*upid. To name a few examples when first learned rest magic (healing) he used all of his mana to restore a tiny bit of his health, thereby sealing one of his strongest weapons, baby breath, for some measly hp for the s*upid reason of "if I use it I might get a skill"
There are tons of things like this in the story, where it just feels like the MC is not thinking through any of his actions, to the point where it makes him feel s*upid.
One of the biggest things to me that made him seem s*upid and highlighted poor world building is how he would fight monsters. Constantly he would be fighting a monster, like the clay bear, where he is struggling against it and instead of retreating and being safe he will charge head first and defeat it in a close fight. This is just an insanely s*upid thing to do, and he should of definitely been killed by one of these rushes without a plan or at the very least been finished off by other monsters after he left himself with little hp and no mana.
Then you have things like Divine voice, which is just a plot device the author uses. It's sole purpose is to give explanations that the author feels like giving out or forcing the MC down the path the MC wants. I'm sure it gets explained later but at least for this part it just feels like lazy writing. I honestly think the story would of been better if the MC wasn't a reincarnated human and instead just saw humans giving justification for him not understanding that plague is something bad, so he would pick these options (which do feel forced, how it specifically mentions human transformation but doesn't phrase it like "this species can transform into humans due to their desire to toy with humans" like it does for every other thing in the series.) and still end up going down this path where people hate him but he wants to get along. Instead we get a reincarnated human who acts without thinking which just makes him feel like an idiot rather than uneducated.
A lot of people mention things like "this isn't an overpowered mc" or "MC makes mistakes" but when he makes mistakes he won't learn from them, he puts no thought into his actions and when it doesn't work out its not a mistake, its poor foresight. Despite being a former human he has never once tried to strategize, some basic examples are leaving pottery/meat/spices near the village over and over. I'm not saying it would work but having this basic level of thought to try to befriend someone is something the MC lacks, so when it doesn't work out and he makes a "mistake" it just feels like its caused by him charging head first without ever thinking ahead. I would also argue that the MC is overpowered... Yeah he is not at satou from death march level of overpowered but he is a mary sue protagonist, where things like exhausting himself because he wouldn't leave an unadventurous fight won't cause him to be killed by other monsters, it just skips to when he is all healed. He never runs into a monster stronger than him that he can't escape from or luck his way into killing. There is no planning on his side, he just charges in, gets a lucky breakthrough, and wins. While its not necessary overpowered its not like this is a story of an MC struggling and being forced to use his brains to avoid enemies that could squash him... Its a guy protected by his plot armor taking unadventurous fights and winning/surviving due to plot armor.
