Dungeon I/O (⚒ Crafting ⚒)

Description

A young engineer with photographic memory dies after choking on a pretzel. He is reincarnated in a fantasy world as a dungeon core. Having near infinite knowledge from Earth, and infinitesimal common sense, he begins to shape his dungeon into the ultimate factory of resources. Collect all the things! Automate all the systems! Even adventurers can be farmed! And if a few world governments collapse in the process, well, it’s all for the sake of science!

This story is like if Factorio was about dungeons, played by someone with ADHD.

Warning, lots of numbers and spreadsheets. Arithmophobes beware!

Very nice science heavy story.
Especially positive is that the author is highly interactive and tries different styles which are then presented to the readers in a poll.
The story itself is somewhat slow paced but that isn't a negative in itself.
Overall an excellent story so far for the science and numberinclined

if you have the grit to read alot of science facts you will enjoy this.
it's a story that focuses on the "sci" in "sci-fi" and the "system".
i peronally think the only reason it got less then 4.5 stars is the grit needed to read it and lack of awsome innovation from the mc at the immediate start.
i wish good luck to the author beacause any type of crafting book needs to really "simplefy" (use less precise and scientifically correct words) the process so you need less grit or backgrounf knowledge to understand it.
he does a good job explaining for now

All caught up as of the date of this review and I can say this is a fun Factorio-esque romp. It's not for everyone, being heavy on the STEM and delisiously descriptive. However: It certainly scratches an itch I didn't know I had! I love the detail and direction of this story and can't wait for more! Keep up the good work! :)

I liked it, it's funny. The exploration of the system is interesting. Though he's starting from scratch to build things and so it's slow progress that he still hasn't really made anything or automated things. It seemed it was heading in a interesting direction. Shame it's probably dropped.
I hope the author picks it up again.

Ok. This is gonna be real quick for now. But I really think that I lucked out when I clicked on this one. I saw it in the latest uploads and since I was really in the mood to waste some time I clicked on it and got to reading.
The incorporation of Emojis in the titles caught my attention and so I got to reading.
Compared to the image that the Cover and the Title of the book convey it is a pretty thought out and nerdy type of novel. I like how in-depth it goes in the crafting process and how involved it is in the chemistry it portrayed.
Don't wanna say to much though. Read it, it is fucking good. And the chapter size doesn't bother me at all. At least for now. When things get more involved then having so little possible information in one chapter and being forced to wait long periods of time to get some advancement may get annoying but nothing more.
Message to the author though. Please change the Title and the Cover! Fucking urgent! The cover can be anything not in anime style and the title can be more nerdy and serious... It can still be The something Dungeon... but add something else.

Just started to read it and so far arthur got me hooked with how logical the transmutation is.
I have seen lots of novel where the practical just make some numbers up but author made lots of reasurch to make the transmutation work depending on how much mass of the element actualy exist in the world. Great work arthur!

The story is pretty fun so far. I love the math and science with it. I don't always read all of the really descriptive bits, but when I want to I can which is nice. I'm curious to see if the writer sticks with this style past the point of mideval technology, when things get much more complex. After I read the description I'm imaging him walking through a big factory just transmuting massive quantities of iron or gold or silicon, and then having assembly lines of goblins and traditional monsters making stuff out of it. Maybe the dragons just use their firebreath because it's more efficent to feed a dragon than wait for trees to grow to make charcoal or something like that.
The only negatives are that it could use a little bit of editing. I don't remeber finding any misspelled words, but a couple sentences here and there need reworked. Also the chapters are really short. It seems like you're trying to have one main idea per chapter so I kinda understand why they're short, but I find that reading one larger chapter is generally easier than 2 or 3 smaller ones. That's also just a personal preference though.
Overall it's really good. A little bit more editing, fleshing out the characters (which is happening slowly like it should), and getting a little more content and I think this'll be great. 9/10, keep up the good work.

Wery interesting story with a lot of science i love the independent explanations of how the system works and all the realistic chemistry.
The plot might be improved by giving the MC more compelling reasons for what he is doing.
The science stuff was so interesting that I was stuck to the story

I haven't read a dungeon story for a while so I'm probably a bit resistant to their tropes for now. Even still I feel this one has a rather unique take on the whole thing as the core feels a lot less like some sort of tower defense manager and more like some weirdly bound-in-place semi-immortal reincarnator.
Overall the vibe and character give off feelings similar to Dr. Stone and maybe a hint of How To Tame Your Princess.
Pacing is also quite good as the story doesn't get bogged down focusing on one thing at a time. For example while the MC is off grinding out data about slime death a resource counts we get a side chapter following the first character to(/in) discover(ing) the dungeon.

I am enjoying the story so far. Writing is good, and I'm curious to see where this is going. My big suggestion is it might be better if I had a clearer idea what the main character's goals are, or if he even had any besides messing around with elements a d random stuff? I don't feel like I really get what he's trying to do or why? If it's just scientific curiosity or something that's fine but his motive just isn't clear to me.
Otherwise like I said I'm enjoying it, and while nothing has really happened yet, there's enough pieces in motion that mlle me interested in where the story is going, so I will keep reading it.
