I think this is the first time seeing a Japanese series being made into Chinese donghua then just dubbed in Japanese and aired. Every story has a market and sometimes that market is abroad, I guess.

What to Expect From The A Herbivorous Dragon of 5,000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Due to its short-form episode format, the A Herbivorous Dragon of 5,000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized innately trims off a lot. Mostly, you lose all the finer details in the world-building and the deeper political aspects going on.
If you truly enjoyed the story, I would recommend reading the light novels from the beginning, but you also have a good enough summary of things that you can technically continue on. You will just find the final novel to be particularly dense compared to the anime.
Do note that the manga is similarly compact with its adaptation of the light novel story alongside also not adapting all of the novels.
