Description

When a promising college student dies in an accident, it’s tragic.  When he then finds himself reincarnated as a monster in a fantasy world, it’s even worse.  How much worse?  Let’s just say, he’s not fond of his new body.  The good news is, he’s the dungeon master and has full control over his dungeon.  How will he adapt to this new world?  Soon, he’ll need to decide how to defend himself from innocent young adventurers who want his head.  After all, they’re right outside.

Note:  Added "disturbing content" tag for some mature content, but my goal is for the fiction's subject matter to be safe for network television.

    arc one and two of this book are great.
    nothing of permanent consequence happens in the third one.
    the fourth one gets it back on track, even if soured by the events of the third.
    The third arc is a good example of why the protagonist is so cautious around his own abilities, and how this entire novel could have been a lot different if he just used them to their fullest.

    A good dungeon story. But sometimes I feel like the story skims over certain parts that could be better used. But overall it's been time well spent and fun. I hope there's a harem, because they're a waste. From my calculations, it's already possible to found one with the 9 females in the story. So far, an 8.

    Do you like a dungeon that trolls adventures sometimes? That hates slavery and helps former slaves? One that abuses the system in creative ways? Look no further than this story. The contend so far is quite wholesome. The only issue beeing that I can't instantly read 200 chapters of this since it just recently started, the tragedy, the horror~

    Overall the story is amazing, easy to read, great premise, unique character tropes, basicly nothing that i've seen before. The DM (Dungeon master) deals with advanturers in a way that (mostly) leaves then unharmed (except financially), the leveling system and abilities are also veary well tought out, world development is a bit slow, but that's to be expected, since the story is mostly set around a dungeon. The villans (bad guys) are a bit typical, but that does not really compromise the story's perfection in any major way. The more you read the better it gets, im very exited to see where this one is going! Defenitly worth a read!

    Reincarnation with a comedy-twist is just my cup of tea, but if that would not be worth 5 Stars. Going for a freaking Tentacle Monster and still resisting the expected urge to fuck every beautiful Women you come across, earned you my respect. But you immediately topped that, by introducing a bunch of gorgeous Beast Girls and still refusing to hand the Storywriting over to your personal Tentacle. Don't get me wrong. I do like my daily dose of ecchi, it's just that I don't need to read the exact same plot and procedures again - it's refreshing that you don't.
    Seriously, you had a awesome Start and I hope to read more chapters soon :)

    It's an amazing book with many humorous notes to it, and a compelling storyline! The characters are all unique in their own way, and act in a way that best fits their character design. The world building is detailed and intricate, but still easy to read, even for people who hate world building! (Like me)
    All round, it's an amazing book with basically no faults, and I DEFINITELY recommend you read it!

    Specifically, it promises, as I noted in a comment, a flying spaghetti monster with orbital bombardment capabilities. Who could possibly pass THAT up?
    Somewhat more seriously, I do find this an enjoyable story. The grammar is good and there are a good number of new ideas being explored. I like the idea of the church in this story being science-based, although we still have no idea what else they're doing with that information or if they're also behind the assassinations (read and find out).
    I've always been a fan of the older variant of dungeon story where the main character is a somehow-omniscient floating rock, but the idea of a specific monster being the controller instead offers new options. In effect, he has an avatar right away and can actually leave the dungeon too. It also allows some very unique synergies to become strong in unpredictable ways. The downside is that he no longer has omniscience, or really any good way of inspecting the dungeon outside of specially-treated monsters. I'm hoping an upgrade to that happens soon just for logistics reasons of managing multiple dungeons.
    Both I and the MC are upset that he didn't become a dragon, though.
    I'm also looking forward to the programmable aspects of the dungeon as more parts of the system get unlocked. That part really intrigues me. Well, actually, some things are said to have been automated so far, but I still have no idea what the actual effects were.

    Overall, the story is very interesting. A dungeon building novel with a non-human MC makes for some interesting and fun dialogue with other characters. The story is mostly light hearted with some darker moments.
    The characters are also well written, the only complaint is that the villains act within the usual trope, but the MC and those that aren't villains are unique and have great personalities so far.
    The style is wonderfully done, everything is neatly explained or laid out, tables are used for stats making it very easy to follow along and keep track of. Maps are given an image to allow the reader to mentally visualise the scenes a lot better, which will be very helpful as the dungeon continues to grow.
    The grammar is spot on, little to no errors spotted and no over usage of certain words. The story flows very well thanks to it being so well written.
    The story is very refreshing as well, there is a good amount of focus on dungeon building and learning/exploring the surroundings of the dungeon DM is located within. Makes me wish there was more to read to see where the story leads.
    Absolutely worth the read if you're into dungeon building and isekai stories. While the MC does start getting stronger than normal, it’s done in a way that makes sense for the story. Can’t wait for more!

    Like I said in the title, this book if pretty darn good, wholesome and easy to get into. It's overall pretty nice, but there's some pretty major problems with the leveling system. Like, the MC got up to the strength of most adventureers he faces in just a few days. Maybe it'll be explained later on, but for now it's a puzzle. Some work on the personalities and reactions of the characters could be done too. Overall, it's a book with a good start, but some things to improve upon as well.
