Here are a few tips that I use to complete the Dragon Tales.

The main one is to have at least 300 k worth of food so start as late as possible and plant Rushrooms throughout the day, Upgrapes are even better; and then Diamondates when you sleep.

To make sure you get the required Mysterious Energy from your neighbors don't send any requests for anything the day before the items were needed. (I've always thought that maps sent the day before rolled over to the next day as I would get a lot right after the day change, 3 AM for me.) Then stop sending any material request for the rest of the Tales so you will for sure have all of them and quickly. Could you imagine if on Chapter 10 on the last day you get 20 maps and then you can't get any Mysterious Engery?! That would be absolutely brutal!

For the requirement of hatching a specific dragon start breeding the day before and just leave the egg in the nest until it's needed. This way you have room for a fail or two and not get behind. As someone stated below, to breed a Love dragon use Olympus and any Red/White dragons such as Laserlight or Love so there's no chance of a dreaded 33 hour Virtue fail which could be awful if you don't have any gold to speed up the breeding time. It also helps immensely to have at least 2 nests so you can breed the required dragon as early as you want and you can keep breeding. I have 3 nests and it works perfectly!

Watch out for chapter 10 as it will really cut it close with all the acts that take quite a while to complete. I'm saving my 20 gold a day from my 4 epic Gold Dragons that I got on sale for chapter 10. I think I may pay the 55 gold to skip collecting 120 Runestones since that will take the longest of the acts. It's even worse since you have to harvest Firapples before you can collect the Runestones so ypu can't plant food with a long harvest time the day before and harvest them for the Runestones. Time will be taken up by having to wait to get the 12 Mysterious Energy which could take awhile and then win 4 matches which is a guaranteed 4 hours if you win every single time.
