I see your point, but I like to write crucial scenes, like the fighting ones, very richly in detail, so the reader may understand every move the characters make, I don't think I wrote anything unnecessary though, I pointed out the weak spot, its scorched back, made it clear as to why the protagonist chose to use the lake to her advantage and gave a brief, not overly detailed way as how it died; about it being disturbing, I think anything related to death is disturbing, depending on how much detail you have about it, you'll be much more disturbed seeing someone die, than just hearing about it, so I admit it must be my fault, though I'll still stick to my writing style.

No, not exactly, I am 172 centimeters tall.

First, no humanity has never found any evidence of life beyond Earth whatsoever, intelligent or not, the theory of having life out there is purely based on probability since the universe is supposedly infinite. Second, the known requirements for life to exist in one planet need to be absurdly specific, such requirements are: 1. The presence of oxygen in the right quantities in the atmosphere to not suffocate the organisms; 2. The presence of hydrogen in right quantities, to allow the formation of water (an universal solvent), too much or too little will change the barometric pressure, that might, therefore, change the state of water; 3. The presence of carbon in the atmosphere to allow the assembly of cells, also in the right quantities since it's a greenhouse effect gas that traps light rays heat; 4. Right and low variation of temperature; 5. The planet's size and density, that might turn its gravity inappropriate; 6. The size, distance and orbit around its star, preferably with low distance variations; 7. The planet's rotation speed around its own axis; 8. The temperature, size, composition and rotation speed of the planet's core, that should be just right to generate a strong magnetic field, to filter the right spectrum of light to sustain life. These are just the requirements for the star and planet itself, not to mention, external influences such as other planets orbits, comets and stellar bodies, and there's probably more I forget to mention, but if you think a little you'll notice Earth fulfills all of those, no wonder it's so hard finding a similar planet.

The protagonist has to learn self-control, acting purely on instinctive rage may lead you to critical mistakes, though acting purely on logic reasoning would be preferable, the human brain is constituted in such a way that the most primitive, instinctive part (reptilian brain) acts before the rational part (neocortex), this is a situation the protagonist appears to be in in his dragon body, so he could take advantage of this, like experienced human fighters, using the full capacity of his brain for one sole objective, survival, act (attack or strategize) through reasoning, and when countered, react (evade or retaliate) through instinct. That's how humans fight.

I always see people who are not grateful for what they have, and I look at myself, "Why can't I see like them?", then I think, "Why do I think differently than them?". I stop focusing at myself, and I see, the amputated man, or the blind woman, and I think, this world is too complex for a simple dilemma, yes or no, having or not. I see one way, I think 'my' way, and for that, I'm grateful.

Sometimes I wish I could be 'isekai'd', not as the protagonist, rather, an spectator, just so I could see, experience their experiences, achieve a higher form of comprehension, of a world like no other.

It is something that everyone is born ignorant about, some know, but some really experienced it, yet, there are people who remain ignorant.

I love the way you have no problem in commenting in, like, every 5-10 paragraphs.

It is possible to have a loyal army which could not be bought with money or material objects, not exactly the way he is doing it though. Being a leader can prove difficult, but acting like a one is easy; Be fair and strict, with everyone; show confidence in your behavior, show why you are the leader; command and reprimand anyone who might want to challenge your leadership; yet don't be abusive, respect your peoples' possession, if it's theirs it's theirs, but if it's yours, YOUR people, YOUR country, show why no one should mess with it. Even if someone offered your knights a better salary or anything else, they couldn't be sure of it, whereas with you, they know they will have their salaries and their possessions granted and safe, with a confident and capable leader, which doesn't favors anyone unfairly, they will not dare lose YOUR trust. In this type of medieval setting, fantasy or not, with humans (which are rational beings), this type of loyalty can't be broken.
