Recurring Dungeon

Description

Just an innocent little core trying to make a dungeon for itself.

---------------------

First attempt at publishing an in-progress story.

As I wrote ~20K words in the first month, I am feeling reasonably confident I can put out ~3K word chapters each week, probably on Mondays.

I am reasonably confident about my spelling and grammar, but plot and pacing suggestions are welcome.

    the author takes you on a slow meandering jurney of a vary alian mind that is a dungeon core. this story fallows A lost and alone creature as it builds caverns spawns plants and monsters as it meticulasly plans and organizes its goals mesuring Recorses spent verses Time and safety.
    I have no isue with gramer, the story is slow and what little action the story has is short and explosive.
    I normaly like to maka a review after a book is finished if at all. but i wanted to call Special attention to how this story actualy explores the Blue Yellow morals of a Dungeon core with out coming of as human.
    God speed and I look forword to the rest of the story.

    a lovely depiction if a bit short and not as flashed out as it could've been.
    still, great work.
    I love reading stories that take perspective seriously, it feels good.
    would've loved more chapters from the point of view of the people who interact with the dungeon, and maybe some info about the fate of the other dungeons?
    but as a closed story? it was good.

    The start was a bit iffy. And after that, there was not much write home about.
    The story is pretty much about the core, outside and the occasional problems that may pop up.
    Characters... Well. From my impression, there were none worth of note.
    The main character was a slight let down in terms of being involved in the plot. Kinda hoped that it had more depth. Especially in the beginning. It had wanted to be clothed. It could've implied that it was originally human or some other plot point.
    I only thing I liked was the Ascii art. Sure the more detailed version was better. But I liked the arcade esthetic it created.
    It reminds me of dwarf fortress.
    And speaking about game like esthetic. I felt this could have gone in a more...
    How do I say this.
    I would have liked some world building, and in general, an idea whats going on outside of the core's world. (Honestly. I wouldn't know, since I had basically skimmed read on the half way point till the end.)
    Although. I have to say, for a first time writing. It wasn't bad. Not at all. At least better when I started.
    It's sad to see you end it without giving a proper conclusion. Still, it's great you made this far in the first place.
    Oh and for the ending comment.
    Don't worry about not being talented or such. Just write. It's like art. Some can do it with pure talent. Others, with experience forged from their blood, sweat and tears.
