相当不错，难怪《龙族》系列能这么受欢迎。

点子：⭐⭐⭐
有一些有趣的地方。书中塑造龙族强大的手法之一是造奇观，描写一些现代科技上可行，生产力上不可行的景观，如高耸入云的青铜柱、金属城市等等。还有一点设定引起我的注意：龙以文字的形式传递力量。在其他很多幻想小说中，强大的超自然个体留下的文字带有魔力，凭话语施展强大力量的设定已经不鲜见了，但是《龙族》中尤其强调这点。通常来说，强大的个体会强调个体性而非社会性，但是文字是只有在社会、族群内部才有认识上的意义的，我认为这种设定是在尝试描写龙这一生物的社会性，书中的其他方面也反应了龙并非单纯一种强大的魔物，而是一个能形成与人类不同的社会和文化的种族。希望在后续几本中能看到作者对这方面更深入的描写。

文学性：⭐⭐⭐
比较生动流畅。对主角路明非的内心描写比较自然。

故事性：⭐⭐⭐⭐
在剧情发展上，在路明非的个人生活这条线上能很好地贴合青少年的心理，《龙族》系列的商业成就也能说明这一点。其他方面，13人入侵校园的战斗、初探诺顿陵墓等部分的故事发展没有特别有趣的地方。

當年第一次讀這本書時還是初中，如今回想往事真像做了一場十幾年的大夢

So, let me start off by saying that the base plot of Dragon Raja is fairly cliche. You've got this ordinary guy living with his relatives who don't care much for him. One day, he's invited to join a private college meant for training dragon slayers and he's the top rank there, outclassing everyone else. Classic zero-to-hero MC story, right?

But. But, what gets to me about this book is how relatable Lu Mingfei (the MC) remains throughout. The whole "slaying dragons" thing is more of an underline to themes like loneliness and friendship and love. Mingfei does some great things, but he stumbles into them by luck and constantly needs assistance from those around him, because despite his rank (which neither he nor anyone else understand how he got) he's still that ordinary guy from China.

I particularly enjoyed the one-sided romance on his part. I was worried throughout it'd be a classic story of MC falling in love with a woman in a relation with a cold-hearted guy and proving his genuineness, and Lu Mingfei and Nono do give off hints of it, but in the end it never came to pass and it's made clear Nono and Caesar do care for each other and are fine with their relationship.

I'm not familiar with stuff like underwater diving or weaponry, so I can't comment on the accuracy but I can say that Dragon Raja described it with verisimilitude that made me believe the author knew what he was talking about :p.

One negative to this book is how it firmly dates itself by using stuff like brand names or entertainment (Omega watch, Bugatti Veyron, Maybach, etc). There were also way too many references to other media -- in fairness, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a classic and likely it's my fault for not being familiar with it, but there were others like Harry Potter too.

And when it comes to story issues, there's one reveal (of who Dragon King Norton was) that felt like it came out of nowhere. I think it could have been a hard hit if it had more build-up and hints.

Despite all that, there was a certain heart to this book that touched me and I enjoyed reading it. So 4/5, would rec =D.

I used to like reading novels very much, one after another to read all five, looking back to the first one is the best.
I have watched the main line of the first part many times, and the luck of knowing the Dragon's is still unforgettable.
People always move on. Lu Mingfei leaves home and makes many new friends, but the story always ends with one tragedy after another. It also reflects my unhappy life. I empathize with him, continuing to imagine his story, dreaming my own dreams along his surroundings, alternately sad and giggling.
I often felt lonely in the midst of all the laughter: I always thought of my imminent separation, and this particular loneliness, which I read in the later books, intensified. I like the text of the world's only tortoise, living in the world only to their own never abandon. Now, this view of life has not been changed by my colorful experience, but rather it has colored all my memories with a similar color, and I finally realize that must be a life of parting.

It has been a long time since last time I read novels online (网文). 江南 uses his powerful logic and prudent settings to construct a fantasy world. There are also reflections on humanity throughout the book. Perhaps there is a 路明非 in everyone's mind.

[Christina Shih · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked the storyline and how the author incorporated elements of video gaming into the plot.

[Tony Jiang · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a Chinese story, like a kind of mythology

[Simone · Rating 4 out of 5]

再次读这本书感觉回到2013年，应该在复习高考的晚上却在读小说。再一次看才发现是哈利波特和黑客帝国的结合体……虽然也有自己的元素在里面但是大体还是模仿....但是是关于龙的故事我就是喜欢看！就是喜欢一个以为自己什么都不是的废材发现自己是个英雄，是个人物的故事。
四星给的是高三的回忆，以及十几岁时想当英雄的梦想。

莫明的看了第二部的漫画，然后虽然读了很多差评还是把书（1-3）找来看了，然后虽然只是跳着浏览还是把半个周末（包括大半晚的睡眠）搭进去了。
