Have you ever wondered what would happen if Dungeon Born and Adventurer Academy had a gorgeous love-child? Well, the answer is... Dungeon of the Gods was born!!
What can I say? This story is great! The Dialogue is excellent, the world-building is slow and steady. (No crazy info-dumps)
The characters are likable and engaging, and their interactions are enjoyable.
I'm terrible at reviews, but I refused to accept that this story had yet to be reviewed.
You doubt my words? Go see for yourself!
I'm excited to see where this goes.

Dungeons of the Gods is set in a first-person point of view and follows the journey of a clever kitsune as she navigates the dangerous and mysterious world of the Gods.
One of the strongest points of the story is the worldbuilding. The author has put a lot of effort into creating a detailed and well-thought-out universe. The different dungeons, the creatures that inhabit them, and the magic that permeates the world are all well-defined and lend a sense of realism to the story. The author's attention to detail in this regard is impressive, and it's clear that a lot of time and effort has gone into crafting this world.
The main character is likable and relatable, and her nteractions with the other characters are enjoyable to read. The supporting characters are also well-conceived and add depth to the story. Each character has their own personality and motivations, which makes them feel like real people rather than just plot devices.
However, the story does have a significant issue with style and technical prose. The constant flipping between present and past tense makes the story difficult to follow at times. The main character's stream of consciousness thoughts can also be distracting and take away from the flow of the story. As a result, readers may find themselves having to reread certain passages to fully understand what's going on.
Despite these issues, the author has good ideas and a solid overall plot for a dungeon story. The story is exciting and full of action, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers engaged. It's clear that the author has a clear vision for where the story is going, and the plot is well-constructed to lead the reader to that destination.
In conclusion, Dungeons of the Gods is a web serial with a lot of potential. The worldbuilding is solid, the characters are likable and engaging, and their interactions are enjoyable.
However, I do have to emphasize the delivery of the story needs some work. The issue with style can be significantly

Style: First-person POV protagonist with decent, although at time choppy, flow. Emotions and fights are well-written, with a somewhat overarching light-hearted, 'Sword Art Online'-esque sensation of an anime show where we have a powerful MC with a clear goal in mind and interacting with the world around her to find the best way forward.
Story: Had to go back a re-read earlier chapters to remind myself of the MC's goal. There is a story, and it's pretty much established right from the get-go, but the world-builiding, character introductions, and combat/magic system layout slowly take center stage over everything else.
Character: The story's strongest aspect. Our MC is a cute and cautious charismatic kitsune who has an easily followable thought-process and consistent personality with he world around her. The side characters we later meet are similarly distinct in dialogue, poise, and aspirations.
Grammar: The story's weakest aspect, though also a stylistic choice. I ran into multiple instances, per chapter, where I had to re-read sentences and even perhaps a paragraph because my eyes read faster than my brain and would completely change the context of what was described because the word pairings just go against one another. I don't know if I described that as well as I could have, but I recommend reading the story and seeing for yourself.
Overall: You can tell the author put effort and love into every chapter, paying homage to things they personally enjoy and weaving bits of their own thoughts, likes, and mannerisms into the characters to introduce or drive plot. It's not bad, but it's also not great. It's a fun read, showcasing an adventure with characters that you can relate to and feel for and keeps you hitting 'next chapter'. However, if you're looking to sink your teeth into a hard dungeon dive, this may not be what you're looking for.

So, the story IS good. The only reason I would
The grammar is fine. I haven't noticed any majour issues.
What let the story down for me was a technique issue. It IS a good story, it just needs some tweaking to bring it up to the next level and a lot more description.
The story is written in 1st person present . This tense brings you the closest to the MC and it's therefore particularly important to show rather than tell us how the character is feeling and percieving the world rather than just tell us what's happening and what the MC is feeling. The idea with this tense is your right their in the body of the MC and that's not coming across in this work.
The correlation between tense and character when it comes to story telling isn't particularly well understood by most. So I suggest having a look at psychic distance and tense and point of view. I recommend internalising the function and effect of tense on character, POV and story. This deeply technical, but it's worth looking in to bring your story to the next level because once you get up to a certain level it's the little things that make it stand out. I can also suggest the emotion thesaurus for prompts.
I hope that this is helpful to the authour and other readers.
