First impressions are everything. That's why authors spend so much effort making them engaging. I haven't read this book, but your attitude (not this review) has told me everything I need to know about what to expect inside. I'll pass.
I haven't gotten all the way through the current backlog of chapters, but I can say one thing. This story is perhaps the only Douluo fanfic I've read that believable heals Bibi Dong. Most either soften her hatred, speed run the healing process, or just make the OC so amazing that she 'gets over it'. This one earns the eventual 'I'm assuming' good Bibi Dong. It respects the trauma itself in a sensitive and compelling way.
You're making the Fatui awfully stupid. This would guarantee a war with Morax and the Adeptus. There's no way to experiment on the 'upcoming archon' without stepping on Liuye's bottom line. You may as well experiment on Rex Lapis himself... biologically, they're the same. Keep in kind, Liyue is CHINA. How would China react if Russia stole the rulers child? I know you're trying to create drama, but I'd recommend you think carefully on how Russia would approach a task as Volatile as this.
Ah, the dramatic irony here is hilarious.
Surprisingly... I wouldn't even call this a power fantasy. The author does a great job - for the medium - of portraying a what if Zhong Li and Paimon were thrown into Douluo Dalu. It feels like an old seasoned deity rather than a young kid going on a power trip. I'd recommend reading.
It's a classic problem with fanfic authors. They have an idea that's cool, but they don't want to take the time to build it out. She doesn't want to reveal she's a dragon slayer? Why not? What consequences could matter enough to be interesting. Dragon slayers are novel, but not particularly pestered in fairy tail. There's a plethora of scenarios that could've been built out but that takes time and patience. Those possibilities are gone now
"I know I haven't been a good member of Fairy Tail, but I would like to rectify that mistake now that Natsu revealed what I am," I told them all, making sure to make my voice carry throughout the guildhall. "My name is Morgana Pendragon and I am a Shadow Dragon Slayer. The kitten on my shoulder is named Lefae, but I call her Fae for short. The dragon that taught me everything I know is Skiadrum, but he is unfortunately dead. My brother killed him."

There are a myriad of ways you can go about it. Tired old man who's desperate for peace, mental faculties are failing as PTSD and depression kicks in (after his wife died), subtle hits of Kotoamatukami by his most trusted friend who he keeps letting assassinate him... any of these are valid options. My comment was not a joke. Evil Hiruzen is the laziest trope. At best, I'd say a militaristic 'ends justify the means' hiruzen is a more respectful way of approaching that trope. So let me ask you, are you naive enough to believe the World's black and white?
I got up to chapter 4 but had to stop. The grammar doesn't flow well. The author doesn't describe any emotions beyond telling you that they're happening, and what they do describe doesn't make too much sense. It reads like the author has a list of plot points and is just walking through them. It's like the author is just trying to get to the good part and rushing past the back story.
Why are you so concerned with these questions? Just write the story you want to write. If a suggestion sounds intelligent, engage with it. If you believe it's stupid, don't. Remember, the fanfic community is full of people who've seen it all before. If you allow their cynicism to weigh you down, this fic's lifespan will end at 30 chapters.
