Description

Look I'll level with you I have never finished a story like this and this is probably not the exeption. By all means though if that doesn't bother you then read on. Since I have actualy made a decent start of this I will be trying to get a chapter of about the same length out each Friday.

This is the tale of a man who died and got a second chance, not at the life he would have picked but one that might turn out to be interesting none the less.

    Obligatory, As of chapter 30(will keep reading, probably no need to update adv. review)
    Style Score: Treat the story like you're reading from the POV of someone observing an ant-farm. A neat ant-farm with ants that do SCIENCE. There are other creatures and characters with a similar flare for being basic but interesting. I'm not gonna spoil it. I was more than happy to watch POV Dungeon Farm SIM Overseer.
    Grammar Score: Smooth read. Seems as if the writer is hitting their groove, actually. Expansion of vocabulary that is relevant to the topic being written. Obligatory nice.
    Story Score: I think I see where the story is headed, because really, every dungeon story starts with just trying to exist for the most part; at least in the beginning. Neat little caveats and new takes on existing tropes and explored threads.
    Character Score: In some ways the MC is the least interesting part of the story. That somehow works. It really works because it doesn't shift focus from the personality building of the supporting cast of creatures and 'helpers'.
    I'm particularly interested in moar dungeony fights and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good and well excuted dungeon story romp.

    Very easygoing story about a guy being reincarnated into a high fantasy world where dungeons and dungeon cores and mana exist, and guilds delve for resources and to prevent stagnant mana monsters from being a thing.
    kinda a slice of life and community management story told from the perspective of a dungeon core and many of those that interact with it on the regular. There are even other dungeons involved!
    The"action" picks up from time to time which is nice, but overall has a very laid back and "just make everyone happy Power fantasy" vibe that I really click with.
    Found this story through net narrator and I hear it's being made into a book! Glad to hear things are going well, and I absolutely love this stuff, just caught up, keep up the great work.

    Let me be blunt here reading the description for this made me hem and haw about wether to read this story. But I decided to give it a shot and wow I was laughing alot this isn't like other dungeon stories where they get reborn and have to fight to grow or anything. It is almost like loki just said yes this human hit him with a truck and let him go make a trick dungeon I am hoping that this author continues forever I love this book

    The title says it all. Read many Dungeon Core stories and this one is honestly one of the best. Solid pacing and even more solid characters with a unique premise that dungeons choose how they interact with the broader world. I can't rate this particular story highly enough and I eagerly await what the author does next after this story.

    I love this series, it fills so many boxes, whimsical fantasy, slive of life, adventure, cozy but still exciting, good action and good story, loveable characters that you always want to see more of, a funny and kind MC who always has a trick up his sleeve, interesting themes and creations and just an all round cool dungeon, a fun plot each book and a larger narrative throughout the series to keep you hooked, all while managing to stay heartwarming in a way that doesn't make a cynic like me gag. 😜 Absolutely worth the read and worth buying the audiobooks. I've got books 1-4 on audible and they are absolutely worth it. Narrator is great, especially for Teemo (of course The Voice has to have the best voice).

    Was super out of it when I first read this piece. Life hits like Rocky sometimes okay... Most of the time. :) I loved the characters but found the "Dungeon" itself.... creatively bland. This is NOT a bad thing. It has its positives. Is relatable to wider audience. The world is so charming my heart hurts. The characters are emotionally engaging and fun to watch. Love your work and hope this review encourages your continued writings in some small way <3

    Before I start with good sides of story i had to made my basic complain.
    Updates are just twice a week and in my opinion chapters are too short :D
    This is also story that brought me here and made me try myself.
    Let's begin then. This is my first 'dungeon core' story and I must say its more interesting type of story than I initially expected.
    Story start with classic truck-kun which is absolutly normal way to get isekai'ed as we all know is quickest way for second chance in life.
    Characters, scions including are interesting each in their own rights. Story at first seen from first person later gets shown other points of view which enrich shown world even more. Characters have their own 'life' and during story progress we see that their overall dispostion is quite wholesome. This made this story good and fun to read.
    Our main charcter - dungeon is phenomen in world he is reborn as one of truly benovelant which is obvious after chapter 3 so no need for spoiler alert. I hope. He also is MC with some kind of idea what he want in his, well it's life. So far he plans in short terms.
    Grammar and style are as close to ideal as they can be so i'm really hesistant to not grant full 5 stars. However four and half is fair mark.
    I like how story is lead. Action parts and world building are nicely placed during story chapters which make story easy to read but also could be a problem for author.
    Hurr durrr where is action. Well I'd like to read about world mechanics Khenal is showing us in that 'down parts of story' thank you very much.
    Overall great job Khenal!

    While I am Not a Dependable Critic, This is One of the Better Written Story Lines in Royal Road, While Weirdness of how Thedeim Reincarnates in the First Chapter does make it a Bit Different, (Not the Truck Part, The Process itself that Turned him into a Dungeon is what Im Refering too), It also has A lot of Very Good Character Development, The Three Adventures that Attacked Yvonne (I Completely Forgot their Names), and The Other Characters, Like Tarl having a Mentor at One Point, Etc. While The Story is Very Good, I find it Very Unconvincing that The Person that Eventually Became Thedeim, Will have all this Information still stored in His Memory, It may be due to the Fact that He is a Dungeon Now, But it is my Main Gripe with the Story. Overall, Good Read to Past the Time, Definitely Worth the Time.

    ★★ 1.5
    A fairly inoffensive story that suffers from an overall lack of personality and tell-not-show.
    Solid command of the English language.
    Without any character depth or sense of tension, becoming invested in the story was incredibly difficult.
    A dearth of imagery and the incredibly quick pacing made me unable to visualize or orient myself in the setting.
