Although this is a good story, I feel the need to warn people who came for the dragon, or else they will just down-vote this story into oblivion.

For the first half of the whole novel, Micheal the dragon always stays in human form and rarely shows up, to the point of being a minor character. The dragon element literally doesn't affect the plot at all until chapter 30, might as well removed entirely and wouldn't change a thing about the main plot. So if you come for the dragon, then... more>> you would be disappointed. The author might as well write two different stories, one about the talented director Sammy, another about a weirdo Sammy and his (secretly) dragon friend Micheal. If you come for the dragon,

read the first 10~20 chapters to get a feel of the story, skip the boring arcs and continue at c63.

Most of the story revolves around Sammy, the new talented director raising into fame in Hollywood, along with his hardship in job and how he eventually overcomes everything to make various good movies. Although Sammy's thinking is a bit.. Different from "normal" people, there is no OP MC or cheat-like element; and although I'm not sure about how Hollywood director in real life are, I still feel everything in this novel are life-like and realistic. It's definitely a good read if you enjoy the details of making movies.

However, the occasional dragon-element is mostly unrelated to the main plot, and some might say that it should have been left out totally and turn this into a non-fantasy novel. You might think that it's cool to have fantasy creature acting in movies, but if you come expecting such, it would be a huge let down because it's mostly drama/love movies, cheap/junk horror movie and musical movie. There is one and only one fantasy movie with real-fantasy-creature casting, but it can be swapped with special effect and wouldn't affect the plot at all.

As someone who is weak with romance stuffs, I won't comment about the romance aspect of this novel.

Oh, finally, there is some questionably moral problem: Although looking like a grown up in human form, Micheal is only 200 years old and won't hit puberty for another 100 years. In dragons perspective, he's only 9 years old (literally underage) ; but the dragons don't care about it, so it's okay? Basically reverse-shota. <<less
