Why read it?

1 author picked Vainqueur the Dragon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book takes the fish out of water trope I just spoke about in a whole different direction. In Vainqueur, it’s not so much a fish, as a hungry shark that finds itself out of its usual element. 

A dragon wakes up from a lengthy nap and finds that the whole world is now an RPG-style game. It can level up, gain abilities, and accept quests. Thankfully, it’s a bloody big dragon, which makes some of the quests a tad easier to complete.

The dragon really steals the show and behaves exactly as you’d expect a grumpy old murder…

From Craig's list on to make tea shoot out of your nose.
