I'm not the kind of person to go into depth but I liked the story, it's got cool monster and action every few chapters, plus I really like the mc's personality. He's cruel and evil, and not the very smartest. He's too proud and arrogant sometimes, which causes him to do dumb stuff. Just recently he got into huge trouble because his dungeon was too deadly, though more is spoilers.

Let me preface this by saying just like others, I came here because I got bored of regular dungeons. Hand holding, cuddling adventurers, living together in harmony. None of that is here.
Style - The style is mostly simple. No complicated words are being thrown around and everything is fairly easy to grasp. It can be a bit overly verbose at times while not being elaborate, and the narrative style leans towards more telling rather than showing, though some of that could be attributed to Viv being an immobile dungeon core.
Grammar - I've noticed a few typos and a few confusing sentences, but those pop up rarely. The author does go back and edit his chs when commentators point it out, but there's often no such need in the first place. The comma placement is alright and the words are spelled correctly, nothing more to say here.
Story - As many others have said before, it's a demon lord ruling over a dungeon with the same old system. Floors are built up, new monsters are introduced. and soon after there's a threat to show off their abilities and how tough the new floor is. The demon lord has an advantage due to the sheer fact of him being a demon lord and we're hinted towards a greater plot of him one day reuniting with his demonic allies.
Characters - Now here's a controversial take. I like the goblins. There, I said it. While it's true that Viv doesn't have much character growth, he also doesn't need to have it. He's a demon lord with his own set of ideals and morals that are deeply rooted within him. Instead, he acts as a sort of paragon figure. Through his strength and evil, he guides the dungeon creatures to develop in one way another. The goblins are the first example we see of this. They are their own individual characters that grow and develop. I'd genuinely like to see more of the goblins, though that's less prevalent in later chapters as more and more characters get introduced.
Overall, it's a great novel that does what it promises. The characters quickly advanc

As an avid enjoyer of dungeon core novels, I'm very excited to see where this story goes. The initial premise is what drew me in. The dungeon already starts with knowledge of the world, various monsters and demonic spells, which makes it advance and experiment with various dungeon features. Just like the other review said, the dungeon core is evil, and I'm interested to see if the villainy will continue, or if the mc will have a change of heart.
The grammar and sentence structure are both good and it features lots of action scenes. Overall, I'd say if you enjoy dungeon stories, you should definitely give it a try.

An interesting quirk of the dungeon core subgenre is that, depending on the core's stance on morality, the stories turn out vastly different from the get-go. I've seen plenty of them with a pacifistic core, and I've also seen plenty where the core is mainly reactive, acting in self-defense. However, I haven't read anything analogous to this premise, where the core is malicious and sadistic, a true villain at heart.
I'm interested in where this will end up going; whether the reincarnated demon lord recreates his kingdom in his dungeon, or if he aims further, to subsume the rest of the world as well. On the other hand, I'm not sure how enjoyable this will be to read over a long term, considering how unlikeable the protagonist is. Hopefully some character development is in store for the core, but I'm not going to tell you how to write your story. Regardless, good luck, and I await more chapters!
