Space Dragons in Battle Mechs [Stubbed]

This story is stubbed and moved to amazon here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0CWLJ6VZ1 (Kindle Unlimited, Paperback, eBook) Being a space dragon has its challenges.  Especially when you can’t fly. The storms of ether wind can rip you right off the asteroid you call home, hurling you into space to never be seen again.  Firen tries to make the most of it, raising his daughter, Tarly, as best he can. But opportunities are scarce when you’re a lowly ice miner on the outer belt. His future is pitifully bleak: grinding out his centuries in a nameless town on a dark rock, hoping his home survives the next meteor strike. Until one fateful day, strange refugees from a distant system plunge their lives into chaos. A threat to the entire asteroid belt is approaching, and they have a critical part to play. But even if they succeed, will it be enough? A fun fantasy adventure for all ages with themes of warm romance, grimdark horror, and litrpg elements. There are dragons, mechs, magic, and a formidable villain. The writing is fast-paced with nominal fluff, accelerating in later chapters. A fantasy-leaning romantasy.  Cover art by Lucian Acatrinei. If you're looking for something a little different than the typical apocalyptic/isekai/litrpg fare on RR, try this. I was curious why there aren't more fantasy books about dragons in space. I believe this is something that needs to exist. So I wrote this.  What to expect: * 45 chapters (for book 1), professionally edited. * Chapters published daily, sometimes on weekends too. * Creamy litrpg elements that have few stats and are non-intrusive to the story. * Some grimdark chapters. Some warm romance (not harem or explicit). * Occasional POV changes.  * This is a novel, not a webserial. The end of the story has closure yet leaves room for another book. No advance chapters on Patreon.  * There are no humans in this story.
