The mismanagement of the main character is annoying. She feels like a beta jp MC with the way she acts. That being; she is extremely incompent and naive. Even after spending thousand of years in her evolved dragon form, being the creator of life and all that, she is still maintaining the same worldview she had as a human being after all these changes on her existence. It's all very incredulous.

Let me give you an example; war, why is war bad? From a human point of view, war is sad... more>> due to the loss of life.

From a greater perspective, the perspective of a creator who has engaged on the survival of the fittest as her method of creation, why war between intelligent species is foolish? There's nothing inherently wrong with it, haven't you watched the sprouting of life from this method and derived enjoyment from the fierce competition of various lifeforms? You condoned this method.

Heck, don't you have god given powers that can directly alter matter, the thought process and existence of such beings as a whole? If you don't want war, why not just modify part of their existence? As an creator, you have done this many times after all. Why not do it this time?

Also, why intelligent life seeks war? Due to some resource or desire that allows someone to accomplish what they want. Simple right? Yet it seems our main character failed to realize this.

This dragon gal is a moron. She has rewound time hundreds of times and has meddled the equivalent of more than a hundred years for the war among intelligent species she has indirectly created, her meddling has only fueled the war and only after it ends she asks, "Why are you guys fighting? Don't you know war is bad and all?"

Seriously? This is not the only instance of such a thing, the author seems to severely undermine the intelligence of characters and skip details in order to progress the story the way he wants.

Not recommended. Unless you really want to scratch that itch of creator main character and superficial character progression where the text clearly alludes to the main character changing but their thoughts and methods pretty much stay the same through all the story.

Edit: Lol, neptunee is coping so hard. "The dragons were smarter."

"Were they so intelligent they waged war?" Speaks volumes about what our main character thinks of war. Dragons is a catch all term. They descent from different life forms and have been so extensively modified by the fellas. They have different temperaments, body types, habitats, powers and nature. I doubt a biologist would say they are the same species but go off.

Also no, I say she acts like a beta jp MC because she got the world handled to her in a plate and she still manages to fumble the bag like a moron instead of acting smartly about it. It's not about emotions.

She has god-given powers, she can alter existence and the fabric of reality of this world as a whole. Yet somehow, somewhat she still manages to fumble the bag and fails, that speaks levels about her competence (in this case, the lack of thereof lmao).

Whatever, you can continue liking this novel, I have better creator novels to read.

Edit: Damn the translator just decided to delete everything out of nowhere Lol, what a clusterf*ck. <<less

This is honestly a really good story so far.

It's the usual trope of "a god sends someone who died untimely to another world, and give them cheat powers". MC is basically a god, with cheat powers of time control, innate control of magic, the ability of creation, and google.

And it looks to be setting up a typical fantasy world.

But the author decides to go a completely different route. Establish the MC at the beginning of the newly created world, as a mini creator dragon. Whose job it is to do... more>> whatever desired, and gets to fill it with whatever life he wished to create.

And if he can truly achieve something that truly satisfies him in his new life, the god will give him any wish he desires, including going back to his original world.

This is where the novel really shines, as it becomes its own unique fantasy isekai where things are being steadily shaped into forms we recognize.

The author just has so many good ideas, and a great writing style that really shines with this translation.

Covering things like:

    • Slimes being the LUCA, the Last (and only) Universal Common Anscestor of this world, the form of life that ends up mutating into all of the animal species on the planet.
    • The creation of Dragons, and why they have reverse scales. An extremely rational reason for the creation of Dragon hearts, low birthrate of dragons, etc.
    • MC becoming an adoptive dragon mom and grandma getting caught up in disputes between dragons and their relatives, tearing her metaphorical hair out at them always ending up fighting each other despite everything she has tried (including making good use of the time reversal ability).
    • Speaking of, the time reversal ability is dependent on her past self at the target date accepting it. How unique and novel a concept!
Meanwhile the author also shakes things up and provides short "modern day" anecdotes related to the choices of the MC, almost as a footnote to some chapters.

Like a article written by a fantasy version of a paleontologist disagreeing with the church of life's proposed origins of life, citing instead the fossil record which indicates (correctly) that slimes are the origin of life.

It just adds such rich character to this story. It's a fun juxtaposition between what we just read actually happened, and what future people are trying to understand.

This story at the moment of this review is still effectively in "prehistoric times". Humans don't really exist yet.

I speculate that either this will continue in the same manner for much of the future story, or that events will accelerate until we get to c0, which may become a slow life style story, where MC can really come to accept contently what she shaped over the eons.

Final Note:

If you like fantasy stories at all, I think you will enjoy this, period. Whether you are a western fantasy enjoyed, isekai type fantasy enjoyed, or someone who is burnt out fantasy isekai clone #42, 651.

If the author can keep maintaining the quality of writing, this will undoubtedly become a hidden masterpiece of a series. Everything is top notch at the time of this review.

Seriously, give it a read!

EDIT:

WTF. I take a break for a week and the translator nuked their own site,

without heads up. Like I still am appreciative of the translator for all of the series they translated. But if the goal is to just quit, I don't see the problem with giving a notice and give people time to save a copy.

It just seems spiteful. Anyways time to check caches to see if there is any backups. <<less

MC started as apathetic who gets mad when problems force her to act but once humans came she became racist.

The spirits she taught for a bit, ignored for a long time after and punished when the dragons went out of control.

Dragons she ignored from the beginning and then gave them a choice of punishment without ever making an effort to let them understand what she was actually going to do to them.

... more>> Lizardman she gave a single gift to and then ignored for entire generations.

Humans she saw and spent years helping their race grow, provided many relics, treated their wars as being not worth addressing, and even crafted a hero for.

Elves she made from humans for her own personal reason, gave a single gift to and then left them under a god that could never shower them with as much blessing as she does the humans and has been totally beaten to never defy her.

Dwarves she made for the same reason as elves, gave another gift and then just ignored.

Beastman she treats with contempt and never helps at all just because they dared to take humanoid form. Even though humans are just monkey beastman. <<less

If you enjoy The Life of Mt. Hororyuu novel but desired more of its content, then this is what you are looking for.

This is a tale of history of the world and its myth creation. The protagonist is akin to Creator God-in-training. Reincarnated in desolate world without any lives and granted omnipotent power and unlimited lifespan, she distribute life across the world that is the root evolution of all living being in this world. She might create them because of feeling of loneliness, but she tried to take responsibility for... more>> it. Sometimes guiding them, sometimes punishing them, sometimes she fails, sometimes she need to make solution for the troubling matter in this world. As the guide of various races and community, she hold multiple identity in various myth and religion. As well as her action in current time is reflected in the future through passages of history book, sometimes accurate, sometimes blinded by faith, sometimes doubted by scholars.

Omnipotent power might make the some story boring, but as the protagonist tried to not ab*se her power and respect free-will of sentient creature, as well as various problem on worldly scale. The story on how the protagonist tried to mediate the sentient being peacefully and tried to find solution to problem that arose makes the story not boring.

By the way, I just realize the protagonist doesnt have name. The genderbend part is forgettable. She, or It might be more correct, was a man before reincarnation but after that without any discomfort It becomes genderless dragon. It got called by the sentient being she first named as 'Mom' and Its morphed form is fixed to female. This might dissatisfy people who are looking for strong genderbend aspect, or a welcome for people who didnt enjoy genderbend. I insist for both sides to atleast give it a try, for this is such enjoyable story that you can read in leisure time. <<less

starts out very well, but eventually the apathetic (cares about literally nothing) protagonist turns the story into an uninteresting one.

Spoiler

why should we care about this world, or the creatures in it, when the protagonist doesn't care at all about anything. No stakes, no action, and even if there is a plot, none of it matters to us anyway beacuse even if everyone dies the protagonist is just as happy lol. Felt like a huge waste of time after a while

Spoiler

how would you feel if you wake up one day and saw your grandchildrens killing and fight each others, even resorting to killing your great grandchildrens to win in the war?

of course she would want to stop them from killing each other

the dragons are created by her children's scales, and she only meddled with the dragon's war, thats it

from no point did she think war is bad "why are you fighting, don't you think war is bad", she acts because it was a pointless war fought over nothing, the dragons at that point doesn't need to fight for anything, wars are fought because the enemy nation got something they need, here the war was simply because of her children's greed for their mother's attention, its completely justified for her to be mad and disappointed in them, like bro they are literally her grandchildrens

she tried to rewind hundreds of time to stop them from killing and harming each others, but just for one wish from their mother, her children keep on finding ways to start war with each other over and over again, again how would you feel if you see your grandchild with his eyes plucked out, broken legs, amputated arms... etc by your other grandchildrens under encouragement by their parents

even then, she had enough patient to wait and see if they stopped fighting after 100years, but nooooo they just keep on fighting due to their parent's greed

"war between intelligent species" its literally only the dragons who fought with each others, and they are the only ones who she rewinded time for, for the wars in the future she doesn't do anything at all and just occasionally watches with interest, did you only skim through the story or something for you to miss the crucial point of the dragon's war?

In one word this novel is "AMAZING".

World building 10/10

What I like about this novel is it is "FREE". It's not bound to one conceptualize idea.

... more>> The author really knows what they are doing. The flow of the story is top tier too. You can really feel that "You" are part of the story. Probably only me who feel this way.

One of my favorite is that the author also includes snippets of the feature from different kind of people talking about the events that happened in the story.

TBH, I can't really make a constructive review because my english is bad but... Let me tell you one thing. I'm that kind of person who will NOT use money for online entertainment but this novel made me do so.

Give it a try, you will be hooked after prologue. <<less

This is the story of man reincarnated as the mother dragon at the beginning of time.

Equipped with a power so vast that it could put Goku to shame, he (now she) tried to create a peaceful world where her children don't try to kill each other. And finding what truly makes her satisfied from the bottom of her heart.

All in all, this is a pretty good story.

Imagine waking up to find yourself standing before an entity beyond comprehension, its form elusive to your bare eyes. It speaks, proclaiming your demise, yet offers a proposition: reincarnation into another world. The allure of a second chance at life entices any human soul. However, the catch lies in the condition, you'll become the first sentient entity of a newly born world, bestowed with the power of creation and control over time. As you part ways, the entity grants you a wish, to be fulfilled only when true satisfaction graces... more>> your heart.

Thus, you find yourself reborn in a realm devoid of life, manifested as a dragon. With the gift of creation, you breathe existence into the barren landscape, witnessing the evolution of countless creatures. From the solitary beginnings, you shape the very fabric of the world, a nurturing presence guiding its growth.

As ages pass, you guide them through the challenges of life, sharing wisdom and nurturing their progress. Through the trials and tribulations, you stand as a beacon of hope, steering the course of destiny away from disaster. Your influence touches every corner of the world, shaping civilizations and cultures in your image.

But with the passage of time comes reflection. Millennia spent in governance weigh heavy upon your soul, a relentless burden that wears on you. Despite the peace you've brought, an insatiable longing remains, a desire for fulfillment that even your creations cannot satisfy.

As the eons stretch into eternity, you find solace in the embrace of weariness. The relentless cycle of existence ebbs and flows around you, yet you stand firm, a pillar of stability in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. With your duty fulfilled and the world flourishing beneath your watchful gaze, the time for rest beckons—a respite from the ceaseless cycle of creation and care.

This novel presents a captivating exploration, delving into the perspective of an omniscient-like being—a rarity in contemporary literature. While reminiscent of "She was both called god, as well as satan, " the narrative eschews the dark and dramatic, offering a wholesome journey of creation and nurturing. The meticulous weaving of cause and effect, coupled with glimpses of the future, heightens anticipation and engagement.

While not reaching the pinnacle of a masterpiece, this Korean novel proves immensely entertaining and enriching. Its blend of whimsy and depth captivates, leaving a lasting impression. A hearty recommendation awaits those seeking a fulfilling literary adventure. <<less

[Edited] The fact that the TL thought putting all previously free chapter after the first 15 behind a paywall (about 150 as of now) is a good idea baffles me. 1 star until they realise their s*upidity (probably won't). You could spend that $18 on this novel's original site and get access to THOUSANDS of other works.

Just read this (and many others) on novelpia through MTL for 80% of the result and 5000% the value.

[Orginal] This is not just another tr*sh power fantasy. It's a power fantasy... but with responsibilities and consequences for each character, action and event. And the writing is on par with light novels. And the MC is hella cute.

This novel represents a not so common type of novels: legend. At least in the beginning one can see many similarities to legends. So there is not mach conversation. Also the rest of the novel is not about development of heroes, but about development of the world of novel. For me this novel reminds legends of ancient Greeks, Romans, The Book Of Genesis and so on.

I must also mention that author (or in my case - translator) rites with good language and does manages to connect dots in his novel.... more>> Like, you know a situation when authors try to make a spoiler inside the novel and fail to do so due to changing the plot, and this author hasn't committed such failure till ch 161. Instead he did connect such spoilers with the plot.

Also author doesn't have any problems with overpowered character: MC literally almost omnipotent and doesn't use it's abilities to solve problems with force. And this is so different from so much of novels on the net, that it became something me.

Because of this I do like to read it, so what else? <<less

As a sucker for world-building novels, this novel easily takes the cake for the best world-building.

Though there is the TS aspect of the MC being a former man turned human, the story focuses on the MC building the world and their various tales as the world they build advances and evolves on their own, with certain people/ civilizations getting some help from the MC.

The novel goes into the nitty-gritty in all the important aspects, with interesting characters with well-defined motives and personalities, the history of the rise and fall of... more>> important countries, extra information on the items that the MC creates and their importance to the people it's made for.

While Whether You Call Me a Guardian Dragon or Not, I’m Going to Sleep's world-building is on par with other world-building novels like She Was Both Called God, as Well as Satan, or The Life of Mt. Hororyuu: The Forefather of all Life and Magic at 4.6 Billion Years Old, what makes it rise above stories like this is the MC's writing, who truly feels like a Main Character of the story, with their interactions with more interesting and reoccurring characters that don't feel like a one-off in the story, with tales that have a proper end and tie together with the history of the world overall, with callbacks to older parts of the story that bring help strengthen the fact that the characters did exist and is a part of history. <<less

Basically, a plot about a god that reincarnated man to a god dragon, she create a life, manage and develop it. And in the far future it will be a general setting of fantasy world.

Nothing to complain about, the premise and the plot very interesting so far.

This is a gold piece that everyone must read at least few chapters.

Could’ve been a good story. Just that MC favors humans too much, to the point it feels like she’s their nanny. Second, MC is too naive, she’s not fit for her role at all. And she doesn’t seem to have much growth over the years. But like I said, if MC wasn’t so insistent on his nonsense ideas and played the role of a high above god properly, it could’ve been a good story

The story goes as a god reincarnate the MC into a new world, fresh with nothing in it. As the god said do whatever you like and the MC filled it with life. And how the life gets filled turns into ecosystems then civilizations. It was a pretty enjoyable read imagining how the world developed as I read it chapter per chapter. Then as the world grows there are conflicts popping up, and the characters inside has a pretty good development.

All in all, it's a world building in the purest... more>> sense that it's actually building a world and we see how it develop from the MCs eyes and how she meddles in it to create a better or maybe even worse situations. <<less

The main character is a dragon that has godlike authority of a world she is reborn into and the plot follows what she chooses to do in this world over the course of a shifting time scale with occasional glimpes into the future of the narrative.

The peak of this story is when the main character does something/sets something in motion and then we get to see the resulting mythology or passed down legend that is the result of it.

The worst moments of this story ... more>>
Spoiler

are the recurring in*est plotline where the main character raises a child and that child suddenly develops feelings for her. It never actually goes anywhere and she usually shrugs it off or is bothered by it but its annoying that it happens multiple times.

Another annoyance is the main characters single-minded devotion to humanity when there are tons of other races that came first and are arguably more interesting. The main character acknowledges this and does not change and the story lampshades this fact many times throughout. To be clear the character being flawed is fine but narratively the way things play out as a result of this just feels really weak. It just feels like an excuse to take an easy path toward technology that could have otherwise appeared in the story.

I really like the story of the most well know hero/the king of God's Baal, his character was mentioned at the earlier chapter as a side story and when it was revealed who he was, it was a good story

The novels pretty good, it’s a story that as the story progresses the world does so too. You’re following a nigh-immortal god with time and creation powers that has many names (the goddess of life, the creation/destruction dragon etc.)

the story doesn’t try to blow you away with crazy plot twists or world changing events. Because the MC is a god she can do a lot, but that doesn’t mean she can do everything. Slight spoilers, nothing major.... more>>
Spoiler

early on the story (chapter 30s) the MC fails at stopping the dragons and her children? From fighting even with her time powers and this leads to her taking away their bodies and massacring 95% of all dragons.

[collapse]
if you just wanna read a consistently good story about the MC just building a world then living in said world this is for you.

the MC is a basically an all powerful god, but your not gonna see her utilize that power much after the beginning when the ball gets rolling. She’s not going to go around the world haphazardly throwing subs around or something, she will subtly help the world in the way she likes it by doing things like changing humans into other races and making sure gods don’t step outta line.

if your here for a power fantasy where the MC is an unstoppable god who does whatever they want and whenever they want this isn’t for it. It isn’t a story where the MC grows in strength. It’s one where the MC learns what’s it like to rule over a world and in the process she makes mistakes. It’s basically just a glorified slice of life novel.

also chapters up to 259 are up on the internet, if you like the first 15 or so chapters, search up. It should be a pdf. <<less

If you like Terranigma, etc. This is a pretty decent read. As for the reviews regarding her personality, yeah her personality doesn't match her age at all.
