I read the first 10 chapters today and I enjoyed it very much. The existing characters seem realistic enough to have real thoughts and aspirations. The world in general appears rather intriguing as well. I am looking forward to what's to come.
Happy to have you here Nikostar ^^

I really love this! The only problem is the grammar. Though you improved a lot compared to the first chapters. Your writing is amazing, really. Maybe you should pace the events and everything would be better.
Best of the wishes and hope you keep on writing!

I am enjoying the story.
Your grammer and spelling are on point and your characters feel alive.
my only gripe is that you used the Sci-Fi Tag. Unless you are planning on having a lot more outside interaction it really doesn't fit.

Review after 39 chapters.
The story has a severe lack of madness, and dungeon building by the MC. The first 34 chapters were spent in the training dungeon, with nothing much taking place til the last 5 chapters.
Spoiler: Spoiler
Also the MC's actions don't match his backstory. Betrayed by his former friends which he loves to complain about, but trust the first monster he comes across. Where are the trust issues?
I started this story not expecting a dark story based on the tags, but I did expect a mad dungeon master out for revenge. Instead we get an unhappy MC who refuses to be a dungeon master.
At this point in the story you won't get what you expect based in the title and synopsis.

This story was really good until the end of the first arc. And then it rapidly took a nosedive due to a completely out of character decision by the main character.
The mc had just come out of a high risk situation with massive profits, but then what does he do? Abandons the people that came with him in good faith for supposed "freedom" and goes along on his way.
Will follow along for a few chapters more and see whether the story improves or stays the same.

As of chapter 34? 30 something, the protaganist hasnt built his dungeon yet.........
Written by someone who loves wuxia and xianxia characters. From the characters act and speak, its very similar to bad wuxias.
"Our baron is coming here shortly, you'd best step aside!"
"This man is clearly stronger than me, but i cant lose face!"
"If you wont join my faction, then ill just have to deal with you!"
And so much more generic wuxia nonsense.

It's basically trash. Don't waste your time.
Longer version (as of chapter 82):
The story has two major weaknesses: characterization and plot. The characters are all described as being one thing, while being shown to be multiple other, incapatible things. This is not intentional. The author simply can't see the conflict because they have no understanding of what the words they have written about the characters' personalities and motivations actually mean.
The main driver of these numerous discrepencies is the so called "plot", which is just a series of poorly tied together cliches that the author doesn't really understand either. They're playing connect the dots and not caring if the dots should even be connected, or if they miss vital dots along the way. The whole thing is a trainwreck, and I'm tired of wasting my time on it.
O, and the MC also really, really sucks at being a dungeon core, or using his brain in general. For those of you that would be willing to look passed the other things if that part was well done, know that it definitely isn't.
