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

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 even after spending thousand of years in her evolved dragon form, being the creator of life and surprisingly 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 due to the loss of... more>> 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 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. <<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! <<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.

I personally have a knack for dragon creation myth stories like The Life of Mt. Hororyuu, so for me this novel is a golden... more>> 5 stars. <<less

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 your... more>> 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.

PS. Creation God kinda looks like Hitogami from MT based on his description, he's a bit sus. <<less

Imagine you wake up and meet this super weird creature you can barely see. It says you're dead but offers you a deal: start over in a new world. Sounds cool, right? But here's the catch: you'll be the first-ever being in this new world, and you get to control time and make stuff. So, off you go, and you get reborn as a dragon in this empty world. You start creating life, watching it evolve, and helping out along the way.

As time flies by, you become this wise dragon... more>> guiding everyone through tough times. But even though everything seems peachy, you still feel this empty hole inside. It's like nothing you create can fill it up. Time keeps ticking, and you keep on being the world's protector. But eventually, you're just like, "I need a break, " because being a dragon guardian is exhausting. So, you kick back, relax, and let the world do its thing while you take a breather.

This novel tells a wild story about being this all-powerful being in a whole new world. It's not super serious, but it's got a lot of heart and adventure packed in. So if you're into cool dragons and crazy adventures, this one's worth checking out! <<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 abuse 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

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.

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.
