Look, I value all of your feedback and I think I need to make some changes to Dragon, but it is in limbo because it is currently with the editor.

As we learned in book 4, Zach was uncomfortable with the presence of other male dragons. He had an itch to fight them even though he was friends. I didn't dwell too much on it, but it was part of the dragon culture.

Now enter a potential village of chromatic dragons, there is no realistic way that the males don't tear each other apart living in a small village. Yet if they were to expand within The Wilds, they would quickly become prey to much larger things such as Quetzalcoatl. Because dragons are fucking tasty.

Thus we have an Amazonian village of dragons in The Fae Wilds. Their culture I spun out of what I expected would happen in the situation of their exile and the pressures on them in The Fae Wilds.

The sealing of male dragons for them is a sustainable way of life. I meant to make you uncomfortable. Zach is supposed to see a life that he almost lived, but didn't because of [deleted for spoilers].

If he were to remove the male dragons, or undo their seals, he would kill the village. AND I'm sure some of you are cheering for that to happen, but that shows me I went a little far with the village and their treatment of males. That and he can't destroy the village without creating an absolutely giant shit storm of either rampaging dragons or destroying the production of mana in the world, leading to the collapse of all paranormal kind.

So, I probably need to crack this back open when I get it from the editor and rethink it a little. But I don't want to go make the size of edits I need in my pre-editor manuscript only to then have to merge it with what I get back from my editor. Thus, I am pausing Dragon for 5ish days to get my edits back and then take another pass over this. I'll probably end up posting the edited chapters as I work them over, but there will be a delay.

I will do my best to fill that with Dungeon Chapters, but I also just started SSV4.

Ty for your understanding.

PS some of you are coming up with some really fucking good story lines that I did not write.

Nooooooo I wanna see him meet his mom!!!!

From the sound of it, it's not actually his mom. The way it's unfolding, it sounds like it's the old jaded red that taught Poly, just calling herself Tiamat.

Take your time it shows us readers that you really care and are not just pumping out books.

Agreed. Mr. Sentar is an author who values the opinions of his readers. I get what he's trying to do with this tribe, but the balance between disliked and hated is off, which is what's making people feel uncomfortable. As with the balance between sealing "for the good of the tribe" VS "For dominance and control" I'll point out that whilst I was a bit uncomfortable with the situation it wasn't enough to stop me reading to see how he would resolve things. And apparently some of our wilder theories in the comments were better plots than he originally wrote. So maybe he might incorporate some of that as well?
