RecursiveDescent

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace.
Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing.

However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor.
Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others.

Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels.

Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing.
It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed.
The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble.

Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices.
Sometimes, reality can be dark.
It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story.

This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story.
Trying to develop my writing style on this.
First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story.
