Description

Dungeons, you dive into them, you kill monsters in them, you apparently build towns and cities around them in much the same way that you build a town around a mine or a logging camp. But You don't see too many stories about People building a town around a Dungeon do you? Or in this case, a city.

★★★★★ 4.5

Great story with good characters and pacing. The mix of characters and how they all have there own motivations and ideas really makes the story come alive, as does the way they all interact. The combat is good and well thought out with a good mix of small detail and big picture infomation. The trade and communictaion idea between the dugeons is a nice touch and one I havent seen in many of the dungeon core stories Ive read so far on here.
-A great story that I'm looking foward to reading more of.

★★★★ 3.5

Overall it has been a fun read. A standard dungeon core story with some additions I have seen in other stories.
Style: It is an easy enough read. The descriptions do not get in the way of plot and vice versa.
Story: there is a solid direction to the story. There are threats and plots introduced early enough that I can see roughly where this is going while still having enough unknown that I am interested to see where this will go.
I just got to the point of the city building so we will see now well that is done.
Grammar: I saw no major issues with gtrammar. There may have been a few typos, but it is perfectly readable.
Character: I will say that there has been some characterization, but nothing to truly make me care. The other dungeons are a bit one nite at this point, and there is not a great deal of I prospect ion by the main. The main character is a bit OP with his starting location being a fossil bed, but that may be balanced by his starting location. We will have to wait and see. That said I feel there is a lot of potential for growth here. Looking forward to that.
Overall this is a fine story that is worth a look. It is an interesting setting and setup. Even if the minor issues I have are not fuxed, the story will be a fine light read. I do see the potential for one of the greats here.

★★ 2.0

This story is far too fast paced.
Each chapter is short and choppy, with stilted sentences and abrupt transitions. They can and should be greatly fleshed out in length and shortened in time period in order to give the emotions of a scene time to breathe. Which, in turn, should also help the characters grow and develop as well. As they currently are, they are flat and one-note, without the time or casual interactions needed for development. Longer chapters, covering a shorter span of time with more focus on character interactions will greatly help flesh out the characters.
This, in turn, should help make each Arc longer and more fleshed out. The first arc, 'Levithan', only took about 10 chapters, despite it being about a threat far above the MCs weight class. We never got time to properly develop the threat, and it was dealt with so easily it was more of a joke than a threat. The danger comes more from the huge burst of experience after, rather than anything else.
Add the fact that this story feels less original and more a mishmash of better dungeon stories, and I can't recommend this to anyone. Not unless the author heavily rewrites it and tries to stand out from all their inspirations.
