Bomb the hell out of it, thanks for the support.

Thomas, a miserable 30 year old man, with a horrible past and a hate for most people. Works a dead end job 18 hours a day every day just to survive. One shift he ends up paying the ultimate price, and with his last few conscious thoughts he dreams of revenge on all the people that wronged him. Instead of the void of nothingness found in death, he returns as a crystal, a deep onyx gem without a body or voice. A dungeon core, in a fantasy world.

All the knowledge of his past life and the memories that caused him so much pain are retained. With only a disembodied voice to guide him he's instructed on how to fulfill his goal of being a dungeon.

Thomas has to decide between being a heartless killing machine or retaining as much of his humanity as possible. Decisions come with consequences and when you know that you have no more chances at life, you should make the most of the ones you have.

Follow Thomas through sanity and insanity while trying to stay alive, and claim just revenge on those whom deserve it.

    This story is one of the best I've ever read, it may pass large swaths of time each chapter but I feel increadibly attached to each character, it's a unique story I've never seen done before and I love every second of it, I hope to see many fan fictions in this universe in the future.

    Its a good story with good paceing it dosent slog through the tedious bits beyond wat is needed and the way it glosses over those parts still tells you wat happened the characters have all been great so far and i love the way the dialogue is written, an they also do good at making sure you know when the point of view or scene has changed

    Style flows from chapter to chapter but keeps the perspective of each chapter if it starts in first person the chapter ends in first person if it's from one person's perspective it ends in their perspective, with the exception of the most recent chapter.
    The story is wonderful it goes quickly for the first 14 or so chapters including time jumps where the mc is just not doing good in the head or there isn't much going on with the dungeon except the mc breaking stuff and repeating the same stuff every day over and over which makes for a bad story if it was written so the time skips are a plus
    Grammar is way better than mine and I didn't notice any typos or big mistakes
    The characters are the story here this book is all about emotions and experiences and the writer captures every single one of them and think hard about what they do in different scenarios the characters are very believable like real people in some ways the main character is all about justice and equality and fair treatment erifis is all about being freed from suffering and growing a fox person tomas is all questions and scattered thoughts like someone who really likes to learn and focuses too hard and gets distracted some of the characters I'd like to beat the crap out of but that's the point for them they are supposed to be hated and shown as evil characters.
    This book is definitely worth reading. Do it now.

    It's a incredible story that had me glued to it to the point I started and finished it in a single sitting
    sure it has its faults everything does but it keeps you entertained from beginning to end and that's why people read afterall
    you wouldn't read a book you don't enjoy to the end
    it does feel like it was cut short though, it could have been drawn out far further but I suppose it might have gotten a bit monotonous if the story continued with the details of the 'ending' of the book, I won't specify for the sake of spoilers

    This is a good story. This story seems more focused on the emotions and connections of the characters than dungeon making, for now. Not what I expected in a dungeon story.
    The Mc is overpowered because he is unique and soul shenanigans happen in this new world. Being a core brings perfect memory so you can guess what he does with that with standard education and the ability to manipulate atoms.
    My only minor problem is with the speed(?) of the story. We are at chapter 13 and 3 years have passed! This is not to bad since nobody explore the dungeon yet, but maybe this will change later or not. I'll still read this story anyway.
    Thx for reading this story and review!

    I'm having trouble explaining this one. There are dark parts, and the ending isn't necessarily satisfying - or, in my opinion, completely explained - but this is one of those stories where it makes you think, changes you.
    There are also a few things that made me think of various Undertale references (hence the review title - I always have trouble with those so I just went for the low-hanging fruit), but I'm not going into that as it's just me drawing lines common to archetypes.
    On the face of it, this is a weird story. It discusses heinous crimes and fair punishments for them. There's a friendly dungeon core who nonetheless causes harm to both others and himself, who becomes the god of evil to stop a worse injustice. And the ending is one of those "10 years later" ones that skips all the detail and leaves you wondering what you missed.
    And yet for all that, it's a story of care and sacrifice, of nobility and helping others, and of doing what's right. Or there's a good chance it was all meant to be taken at face value and I'm adding my own interpretations on it.
    Just read the thing, I'd say it's worth it.
