Making up different types of dragons is really fun. Would highly recommend.

+ Author Commentary

When I was in middle school (bear with me) I did what qntm mentioned on their author page and planned out an entire fantasy novel while only writing a single chapter of it. I've since started recycling some of the fun ideas from that "novel" into my WL articles. Silver's magical properties shows is used in A Practical Guide To Beginner's Magic and dragons hoarding followers instead of gold was used here. I'll see what I can recycle in the future, but that world was much less thought out than you probably think it is.

I like how this one subtly continues the story introduced in the last entry, the Huntsman seems to be an interesting indvidual

This was a bit of an information-dump that had me engaged from start to finish, which is something that rarely ever happens, and something that I'm desperately trynna learn how to do. I like it.

I really liked this when I reviewed it, and I like it even more now. Fantastic job!

This was a good article; really liked the description of each type of dragon, as well as the focus on followers, which I hadn't seen being the focus about drakes before. Very interesting. Also interesting to hear about this bookwyrm, which had also been mentioned on the Djinn article.

One thing I'd comment is the part about 'wyrven'. Did you mean wyvern? If not, then ignore this.

Anyhow, this was a good tale, and interesting as well, considering it's the first one. Easy upvote~

I also really enjoyed this unique take on dragons and having their focus be on followers rather than hoards. Gave a unique spin that made reading about the various kinds of dragons we've all heard before engaging and interesting. The buildup about the Huntsman's desire to slay the Bookwyrm is also interesting and I'd like to see where that goes!

But the time flies, irretrievable.

Quite excellent. I'm thoroughly enjoying the narrative of the huntsman as he pursues his metaphorical white whale (who may be far more influential than the poor hunter realizes) +1 for excellence
