"Drakkon" Graphic Novel Review

Title: Drakkon

Author: Mama Fatemi & yillen & Entertainment

Genre: Fantasy, Romance

Graphic Novel

Rating: 3/5 stars

This story is about a man, Drakkon, who becomes emperor by force and has citizen women gathered for him to pick a bride. The female lead, Daiyu, is chosen as the bride and the story follows her through her journey from commoner to empress.

I gave this story three stars because I didn't really enjoy the content of the story. While the art was quite beautiful, I just was not into the romance. He was more predatory and she was depicted as a type of prey. While Daiyu did embrace the role and push past her discomfort to fulfill her duties, I didn't like the emperor. I just couldn't get into the romance at all. I was rooting for it to fail, which sort of ruined the story for me.

It could be a taste preference, as I personally prefer strong female leads... and non-toxic men.

Clean Read?

This was a pretty clean read, with minor sexually suggestive content and violence .

Do you enjoy romance with strong female leads or meek female leads that prioritize kindness?

Enjoy your next adventure,
