DA

Okay, I can imagine there are different types of civilizations, or creatures. The dragons, will likely be seen as invading a new territory bc they have turned their former territory into a wasteland (the author will likely not acknowledge how the humans and Dragonslayer people went into the dragon lands in the past to make their fortunes, ravage the land, and sabotage dragon tribe against dragon tribe, but I digress, since the author would never bother assuming the dragons had a political and social system to begin with). So now, the dragons are entering the human lands. And the humans are split between "they are evil creatures who must be defeated" and "they're sweet dragons, you don't understand their plight, etc. etc.". So, in the author's view, the dragons take advantage of the latter humans, devour them, justifying the violence they suspected they needed, and boom, dragonslayers save the day.

There's about a hundred other ways to do it, but was I close OP?

Ooookay, I get it now. It just wasn't working in my head. I think I was stuck on more traditional dragons.

Pretty close, though the dragons are more animalistic. One of the points I recognized in hindsight was when the protagonist’s desire to keep dragons from eating people was misinterpreted in-universe as “hating dragons.”
