The Wish of the Dragon Novel

"The Wish of the Dragon" by Leixein is a Highschool DxD fanfiction exploring an alternate path where Issei and Rias experience a relationship fallout. This divergence leads to a transformed Issei, initially marked by a semi-NTR element where Rias and others do not engage in sexual relationships with new partners. Following Issei's disappearance, Rias and the others realize their mistakes and regret their actions. Upon their reunion, a significantly changed Issei, no longer the perverted, lucky-go-lucky individual but a "badass," embarks on journeys to different worlds. His encounters include new female characters such as Semiramis, Scathach, Jalter, and Jeanne. The novel is complete and R-18, featuring an overpowered protagonist, a male protagonist, beautiful female leads, fanfiction elements, a weak-to-strong progression, a harem-seeking protagonist, world hopping, beasts, and beastkin. Despite some readers finding it cringeworthy, others found it a compelling read with good character development for Issei, who ultimately becomes powerful and rules across the universe and multiverse. The NTR aspect is presented as a necessary catalyst for Issei's transformation. Some critiques highlight dissatisfaction with the revenge aspect and the protagonist's character arc, while others suggest the story focuses on Issei overcoming trauma with the help of other women, leading to his rise as a harem king. The novel is noted for its potentially difficult early chapters which improve significantly over time.
