Description

Or,I Was Reincarnated As A Dungeon And Immediately Set Out To Overthrow This Fantasy World's Unjust Cosmic Order!

Persephone wouldn't have minded getting isekaied, under other circumstances. But being reincarnated as the living heart of a dungeon, a juicy piñata for adventurers to hit until sweet loot falls out? Not ideal. And what's with the system refusing to acknowledge her name? Plus, the creature description for these goblins that are helping her out is pretty racist. This new world seems as plagued with cruelty, injustice, and the abuses of the powerful as the world she left behind. She might not be some chosen hero, but like hell she's going to let that stuff slide. To Persephone, it seems obvious what she must do:

1) Attack Heaven.

2) Dethrone the gods.

3) Smash the system.

Onward, comrade monsters! For freedom! For the dungeon! Forrevolution!

A dungeon isekai movement-building leftist litRPG with a lesbian protagonist. Updates weekly.

This story is an excellent read, presenting an excellent world with subtle and unexpected twists in its design populated with exceptional characters.
If there is a flaw in this story, it is that coving the sheer detail of the creation has extended the length of the story greatly. But forget word economy and you get goblins you care about and learn the true power of an Angry Mob.

Okay, let's stack up the first stars! We still have a LOT to see for a proper review but I like what I see. A good early detail I like is how jeopardize the System seems to be from minute one and how the administrators personality slips a little through it.
Best of luck, mate and keep those chapters coming.

Right then, my first actual written review but how could I not do something after staying up all night reading every available chapter.
So, right off the bat, I love everything about this story. I’ve always held a soft spot for dungeon core stories but so so often common tropes of the genre just make me lose interest. This is the first core story I’ve read after many years as a prog fantasy fan that not only doesn’t have those not for me tropes, but ticks every single possible interest of mine beside to make me fall in love with this story. I cannot recommend this story enough and will be doing so to everyone and anyone I know.

Advanced Review:
Style: I love the style of the writing in this story. Something done particularly well out of a mix of already well-done stylistic choices, is how the tone shifts in the writing. When the system speaks, or we’re getting an omniscient narration from outside a specific character’s perspective the tone is professional, almost academic or haughty. This is in contrast to when a character speaks, they sound like a person, the mc sounds like an isekai’d modern girl, peasants sound like peasants etc. I love the distinctive feel this gives both the world itself and the characters, it’s something I haven’t seen done well often here on RR and it’s very skillfully done here.
Story: Everything about this story I cannot adore more. To talk about some generalities that I love and rate the story 5/5. First there is a clear greater longterm overarching plot goal with a path forward, with plenty of short-term goals on the way. The goals are interesting, make absolute sense with the characters and world and are interesting plot threads I want to follow along with as a reader. Second, of course you can’t talk about story without mentioning the world. The world this story takes place in feels detailed and well-crafted, it makes me want to learn more about it at every level.
Grammar: Of course the shortest section. Look I’m no grammar-olog

i have read dungeon fiction before: Person becomes a dungeon, takes charge of their environs, scale and stakes increase. Which makes it weird that i have never read a dungeon fic that firmly sides with the monsters, right? Well, this one does!
Further than that, this dungeon has some firm stances on ethics, intending to bring communism to a world ravaged by early capital and colonialism. That bonus points from me, for sure! Even better, this never gets preachy. In fact, it never dominates the conversation in a way that would harm immersion at all. Instead, it's well founded, deftly woven into the fabric of the narrative, and very reflective of possible faults and failures.
Politically and narratively well constructed, this one gets a very clear recommendation from me.

Really beautiful lil fic you have here, I love Persephone and her squad of heaven-wreckers, and I can't wait to find out more about this world and the fight they're bringing to it. Honestly a balm to the soul for anyone tired of reading isekais where the protagonists instantly buy into the system without for an instant worrying about why the cogs go round and exactly what they are grinding. I bet you're super fun to play dnd with~
Thanks for the excellent read!

Pretty damn good story, read it if you wanna see some smart dungeoning, beautifully crunchy prose, and amazing characters.
I guess the only.... downside that people might have is that it starts..... somewhat slow? I guess? It doesn't really take that long to pick up speed, like 3 chapters in is the first real "combat" of the story? I'm saying its not slow, unless you've got the attention span of like, an ant.

This is a really great story! The writing is quite witty, the characters all have interesting points of view that feel properly fleshed-out, and the core concept of fighting back against the system that isekai'd you is compelling! I would love to read more if/when it continues, and hope everything is going well for you! <333

Just finished reading, so sad this is on haitus 😭. Probably the best start of any "dungeon core conquers the heavens" type story I've read, the monsters are refugees being built into a revolutionary cadre in their own self-interest rather than a cowed and subservient monolith. Humans have their own recognizable societal patterns and the system is explicitly an unreliable narrator.

I have read a few turned into a dungeon isekai stories and somehow this one avoids many of the tropes others fall prey to. The main character is interesting with flaws, there’s no OP situation, and the rest of the main cast are well written. My only real complaint is that it isn’t longer an now I’ll have to wait for more chapters.
Very enjoyable read.
