This story is off to a great start! The execution is clean and works well. The main character makes realistic and well thought out choices. The creatures created are also inventive and the story is very descriptive. Overall, the story might become one of the the best Dungeon Core stories in the future!

Our good friend is at it again. for those who missed the thieves dungeon this while not being directly connected in time is definitely in myth.
Good deep characters, plot that is both epic in scope and deep in complexity.
The dungeon here is driven to build for there survival. For the survival of the world and that of others to come.
Mysterys of the world that popped up during the thieves dungeon find them selves in song froming here.
Follow a dungeon core as it seeks to save the known universe. Though it also just wants to keep it's friends alive. Well that and turn the desert green.

This story is brought to you by the author of thieves dungeon, a great fic you should also check out! Blazing fast updates and amazing storytelling combine to bring you this amazing tale.
Definitely give it a try. There may be a few.tense based typos in newer chapters if that bothers you, but I believe that anyone should try at least the first 5 chapters

I've read the first 25k words of this story and let me tell you all, you're in for a ride. If you liked Thieves' Dungeon-- this is by the same author, btw-- you'll love this one.
Style is well done and very refined. It's unique and very noticeably NoDragons' style.
Grammar is excellent, as expected from NoDragons. A couple typos on the first read through but I pointed out as many as I could and he fixed them.
The story is compelling, though it felt a bit rushed on the first draft. NoDragons will probably be fixing this. I know he mentioned he intended to fill in some spots.
Characters are unique and attractive. The way they're depicted is very detailed and I can imagine each one individually and perfectly as they arrive.
Over all, if you're looking for a new dungeon novel to get into, this is the one. This baby is a mound of gold just waiting to be mined, and I intend to collect. Expect massive releases in the beginning because there's a lot written already. And get this story on Best Rated!!!
Hop on for the ride, ladies and gents, because Oasis Core isn't waiting for you, or me, or anyone else! It's going!
(Also, I won the bet.)

This story is good. And I can not stress that enough. The author makes good on their experience when they wrote Thieves Dungeon. They wrote that by the way.
The story follows a Dungeon Core made by who knows what. My theory being a cosmic space duck. On a mission to restore a world some random god leveled into a desert. The grammar is great, I can't find any typo's or anything else. So it beats out hundreds of stories all ready.
If you liked the lonely Dungeon as well than this story is probably for you. As it has a similar world, though not one consumed by an unending hellscape of illegal magic.
All in all. I liked this book and hope you will too.

Fun dungeon core story from an excellent author.
Unlike most dungeon core stories, this one has a built in tension...a countdown that drives the narrative. Mostly.
Unlike the authors other great dungeon core story (Thieves core) this one is not a murder hobo.
Great world building. Much time has been spent on it. The world more a mood as a lore dump...a world in decline. P

Oasis Core isn't your typical dungeon core story, and that's a good thing. I didn't go into it with any expectations one way or another, but found myself solidly impressed.
I'll start with the setting, because it's probably the first thing you'll notice. Oasis Core absolutely excels here, with some of the most evocative, visual imagery I've come across in a novel. The world drips with exotic flora, fauna and points of interest, even in the aftermath of an apocalypse. In fact, for what at first appears to be a lifeless desert, it becomes gradually clear the world is absolutely teeming with unexpected surprises, forgotten history and hidden secrets. And it doesn't let up.
The standard genre trappings of, well, traps - as well as survival and gauntlet-running - are less prominent here. Rather, the emphasis leans more towards the core's responsibiliy to heal a dessicated world and the broken individuals within it.
And what individuals! Oasis Core does an absolutely stunning job with its characters - so much so that certain chapters had me in tears. Being created to heal and repair, the core is an inherently gentle (if not especially humble) soul, and chooses to solve problems first with kindness and compassion, struggling with the harsher methods presented at its fingertips and the temptations they present. This makes it an incredibly likeable main character in my book.
The supporting cast is just as good. Shine-Catch the goblin is my absolute favourite, with her foul-mouthed, uncouth mannerisms, heart of gol - well, let's call it pyrite - and sheer unselfconscious charm. Lunar Eye also gets a special mention from me for sheer clever efficiency. I won't spoil the others but they all have their endearing qualities very much in keeping with the story's themes of healing and finding the best in people.
And I need to mention those themes, because they make up the heart of the story. While progression is a, ahem, core mechanic, Oasis Core isn't a story about cold pursuit of

Honestly this is alright but the reason for 5 stars is this. I would get you sued for attempted murder if I wasn't already dead.
The stone’s first thoughts were vague and sleepy. It had just come into existence, and that was a very tiresome thing to do.
Just… A few… More minutes…
I'm dying. really.

OASIS CORE is a wonderfully written dungeon-core story by an author experienced in the genre. The creativity and technical talent involved in its creation alone make this story well-worth a read.
Style: 5/5 - The author has a way with words that paints vivid pictures of fantastical creatures and locations, nearly making it feel as if you were seeing them with your own eyes. Coming from me, that is extreme praise. I have an almost nonexistent mind's eye, and am able to only picture maybe one thing at once - if I try really, really hard. Despite that, the descriptive prose and praiseworthy imagination displayed in Oasis Core allowed me to immerse myself within those same images. The words chosen have a way of flowing off the tongue - or the mind, as I'm not about to read an entire story out loud - in a way that most stories on RoyalRoad simply don't.
You won't find simple, utilitarian prose here. Instead, you'll find a story that holds a way with words that can bring it to life before your very eyes. Well done.
Story: 5/5 - Similar to the above, the author does a wonderful job here. The story is well put together and has enjoyable pacing.
Grammar: 5/5 - While I could deduct a half star here, as typos do exist, I chose not to. That is mostly due to the absolutely insane update rate of this story, as I am well aware that the first 24k words (nearly 100 pages) were all written in a single writing session - and the writing pace remained ridiculous afterwards, though it didn't hit that level again. Regardless, some typos here and there are absolutely expected in a story like this. More importantly, the grammar itself - the punctuation, the way that sentences are structured, and the other technical aspects of the writing - did not suffer in the same way.
Character: 5/5 - In this section, I will be including both the sapient characters in the story as well as the not-so-sapient ones. This is because of the level of creativity that I mentioned before; even the non-sapient dun

This story gets updated maybe too frequently to get edited and adjusted to how fickle RR readers can be sometimes. But its great dungeon core, excellent angle on ecology of a dungeon that isn't about killing invaders etc. A lot of deus ex machina BUT that is literally part of the plot and it helps as much as hurts said core. Quite literally. I say well done, very worth a read, and the author isn't wasting their time or yours. Find your own faults, im just asking you to read it long enough to find them. I'm happy.
