One of the best dungeon stories on RRL.
Good story, interesting characters, not too many blue boxes (really don't like it when my stories are filled with numbers and stats.) and it has proper GRAMMAR!!!!

First of all: I dont like to write something like a review, but Chapter 27 got me so hard, I need to say some words.
Style: I really like your style of writing, the long chapters, the editing of the stats and text. But what got me to write this, the poem, song or whatever you may call it. I just live it.
If you can do some more without too much extra work, i would adore you for that. Your talent to create a rhyming and creating an atmosphere is marvelous.
Story: It is a great story with immense possibilities for future advancements but with some chapters im not really friends, the abrupt involvement of the 'evil' guys for one thing..
Grammar: As i'm not native english speaker, i dont dare to evaluate others skill, but i am a reader if thousand books and can say i didnt see any flaws.
Character: Okay, as i dont want to spoil, i say two things. First: I love how they act and react as if they are alive. Second: You prove it that it isnt impossible to make interactions awkward.
And as the finishing touch, my honest opinion:
I love the main character and hate how 'slow' you update, but you make the wait more than worth with your story.
Thankful,
GreyPhoenix

In my opinion this is one of the best written books I have found on this site to date. I was immersed from the start and basically didnt stop reading until I ran out of chapters. Nothing negative to say. I really like the family feel between the MC and his children. MC is very well developed and the 3 main dungeon characters are coming along nicely. Its nice to see personality and not just OP characters (do like a bit of OP though, and in my opinion, this has the right amount.) Please keep up the excellent work. Thank you for sharing the story.

So far so good. The dungeon story with unique own twist, while still in line with the genre.
The main character background - as a legendary dwarf blacksmith - before becoming the dungeon, gives the story a chance to stand out.
He is a proud dwarven crafter who now has somewhat cheated death and became dungeon. He does carry over his personality and knowledge which should make things interesting in the future.
Also the way he expands and evolves his dungeon is something you would expect from a master craftsman. Without rush but with a solid plan.
I'm still quite curious how the other character - the former dungeon now known as Echo will turn out. In a way in the beginning it was "dungeon fairy" replacement sort of thing - as a former dungeon who can share the knowledge and experience with MC. But later evolves into something more original.
Up untill the end of vol 1 the story was updated regularly, and the average chapter size was rather larger than most other works on this site. Grammar and style is fine. The plot so far is promising, and it seems author has planed ahead and has a clear direction in which it will be going.

As for vol2, let's wait till there is more of it...

I have been an avid reader of books ever since I was in preschool, yet among the hundreds of novels I have read, this one easily is my favorite.
Story: The plot is brilliant. Instead of a useless 30 year old stay at home loser reincarnating as a dungeon with a harem of busty women, this story takes a much better approach, with a 700 year old Legendary Crafter dwarf reincarnating as a dungeon. Adventurers try to capture the dungeon, and they marvel at the majesty of the dungeon every time.
Style: The style is brilliant. It flows effortlessly from 1st person to 3rd person, weaving in and out of points of view. A description of an aspect of a dungeon takes one paragraph in Smit's view, but through the adventurers' POVs takes many paragraphs to explain the intricate designs of the dungeon. Really beautiful writing and great word choices.
Grammar: Quite some grammar errors, but nothing that obstructs the reader's understanding of the story.
Characters: Amazing characters. Every single character I enjoy learning about, and every character is enjoyable. I especially enjoy the kobold chief, Pala, with his undying loyalty and determination to please Father (Smit).

Though I can say I have not yet finished the story it is an interesting concept as a whole. There are some minor grammar flaws but they are not too bad and the few of them are in the early chapters. It gets better as you go one and it has some lovely characters like Echo and Pala.
I look forward to seeing what the dungeon will do as it goes forward faced with many who seek to chapter it for there own ends.

The story itself was quite wonderous, filled with vibrant characters that had actual personalities. It was an easy read, and one I looked forward to finishing. Unfortunately for readers, this book has been taken down in favor of a contract. While a joyous event, that the author was able to obtain such a deal, hopefully furthering his livelihood, it feels as if those on Royal Road have been swept under the rug. The story has now only become an advertisement on here, which is quite saddening. However, I respect the author's decision and harbor nothing but hope for his work's success.
