  So, most dungeon stories on royalroad suck. Let's just be honest here. They rush, they have no plan, their characters are terrible, there is no plot, etc. And the few that don't suck like "Cultivating Dungeon" or "The Bound Dungeon" just seem to stop after some time right in the middle of the story.
  Right now, your story doesn't suck. It is equivilent to the aforementioned stories. You have a very clear voice running through your story, that influences your style incredibly well. I really enjoy reading about the world, the prologue was such a good setup, and you don't rush. I have found very few grammar mistakes, and it's just a good read.
  Your characters is one of your best points right now. The dungeon core, Jade, has a very distinct personality. He was not a talented genius in his old life, he was an experienced old man. He enjoys perfection, he perserveres, he enforces order. I'll bring up his teaching in the story section. Next is Martin, the king, and the most recent kid. You have showed Martin to be a greedy lecherous bastard, we understand through his actions that he enjoys his carnal desires more than anything, and is selfish. The king is shown to be coniving with his advisors, which calls into question any nice thing he has done in the past. And the new mayor of the city, the scared little boy who loves his brother very much. You gave us background on him through his parents. All of these characters are integral to the story, and any minute spent with them or their prerequisite backstory is not wasted. The cast isn't too large, and they each have a clear purpose, but you still keep enough of them shrouded in mysteries for plot points later on. Well done.
  Finally for the story aspect, this is your other good point. Like I stated above, nobody is wasted. You give everything out that's needed, and no more. You leave room for mystery, and don't spend unnessary time explaining things. When you explained the currency system, it was quick to the point, necessary,

  So dungeon game lit meets wuxia cultivators. Still on introductory chapters with new dungeon core interacting with very “junior martial brothers” but it’s a good idea. So far the main characters are the MC dungeon core, his sidekick (fairy), several villagers, with possible sect members arriving soon. Luckily for our dungeon the locals seem to think he is a “Qi realm” (don’t ask but no one has tried to steal him yet).
  No magical beasts yet, although the fairy morphs into some kind of scary heavy metal Fae type There are personal development elements but at this early stage that’s all still developing.

  The story starts off poorly and needs an edit for the beginning but it improves quickly and the deconstruction of both the dungeon core and xianxia genres could create a gem of a story. This story has the potential to be really good.

  This story aims to fill in the hole left by the now defunct cultivation dungeon. unfortunately, it does not match it.
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  There are grammar errors all over the place and it could really use an editor. The story often breaks into long exposition with the author telling us things instead of showing us. The pace is way too quick, with too little actually happening, as well as huge time skips all over the place.
  Dialog is sometimes stilted and awkward, and the characters seem unrealistic at times (an 8 year old girl is out negotiating the king; and what kind of business conglomerate assigns an 8 year old girl as a negotiator? and it was based on her inherited position too. just give her a regent then).
  Everything is also way bigger here. The MC reincarnated from being the little brother of the most powerful god. (the realm tiers are: Mortal realms < Immortal Realms < God Realm; with there being countless mortal realms per immortal one, and countless immortal realms per god realm).
  The MC started out as a human on earth until he reincarnated in a xianxia world mortal realm. then cultivated for 100,000 years to become a god (while his little brother became the strongest god), after an unknown number of years as a god he was assassinated and reincarnating as a dungeon in magic land. Which makes his references to video games rather awkward compared to his super long life as an immortal cultivator.
  The main point of his being the little brother of the strongest god is that he basically had access to all the cultivation techniques ever from countless realms, so he can always pull out whatever technique is needed. And to say he has all that experience in building sects and teaching to justify his various management decisions.
  On the plus side, he actually doesn't try to hide the fact that he is sapient (something that always seemed silly). And in fact sapient dungeons are well known in this world and even have a different term (life dungeons). With the prevalent t
