    For style, as I wrote my first manuscript in the epistolary style I can say without a doubt that this is tearing on my heart strings. It's almost as if this fiction was written to entertain me but also be chicken soup or a chocolate milkshake for my soul. I can appreciate that the author nails the style in that regard. For Gramma, no issues or they were so minor that I didn't note For the story thought I really want to see a cat girl get some agency of her own, maybe by being reborn as a go kart with a leveling system? A double isekai? Nah. The character is cheerful and I can only hope that this keeps on going. And if you like this? There are even more fast food style web serials, go check them out. Keep it up, cat girl and maybe one day you will make it out of the dungeon.
    What else can I say? Well if I died and was re-incarnated to sell fast food? hmmm I would keep a diary. And I hope that it would be at least half as entertaining as this. All in all, I hope that this cat girl races my novel to the top and that we're neck and neck until the end.

    This is an amazing story with a unique pov. The way the author uses a diary format to tell the story was investing and new to me.    I love the format and story.  Can't wait for the next series. If you haven't given this a shot you should 10 out of 10

    At first, when I read this story's title I was apprehensive at reading it but I gave it a try anyway. This story stars a cast of cat girls and their adventures working in a dungeon. The story is written very uniquely as a series of diary entries and I find it works very well. As a bonus, the chapters are pretty short so you can breeze through them and get a feel quickly as to whether or not you like this story.

    This author currently specializes in extremely short, extremely adorable stories. This story is all of the above, except ongoing with a hefty page count.  It's partially longform, but is also quite episodic.
    The author currently has 20 completed fictions as of this review, which you might like if you find this tale enjoyable.  Because it is pov/character driven, with lots of slice of life, it will be quite clear whether you'll like the story within the first one to three chapters.
    Not much else to say.

    While I enjoy the typical dungeon power fantasies you can find all over the site. Sometimes it's nice to sit down, take a breather, and race some marbles... or eat a burger.  The grammar is good enough for me, and the POV in the story injects wonderful personality and tone.

    Are you looking for something sweet to read? Are you sick of shit being taken seriously? Do you just really like cat girls and there antics?
    Well if you said yes to at least one of those, you really need to not talk to what you read, but besides that, this is the book for you.
    It's a nice story about a cargirl and her antics framed from a diary pov. It a fun read personally and has a bit of forshadowing. It nice to wined down to and of course, catgirl.
    This review will be deleted eventually.

    Okay hear me out, if you're going for a wholesome, full of CATGIRLS slice of life style kind of story, this is THE PLACE TO BE!
    The story follows Nikki CATGIRL chef and denizen of dungeon who decided, with the other cat girls, to break the boredom of the eternal boredom of a time loop style of dungeon. How? It is for you to discover.
    The story is composed of bit sized diary entries that surprisingly gives us insight of how everything works in the dungeon. Of course, we have external POVs, and to be honest, they were all nice.
    It's not only diary entries obviously, I'll let you fellow readers discover.
    I have to say, it's a mostly wholesome, cute and funny kind of plot and a lot of stuff are lighthearted, so anyone that wants some heavier stuff, I don't think it's really for you, but who knows? A bit of vanilla is always good right :D
    The grammar side is impeccable, at least to my eyes. A very nice pacing. Some nice gags too.
    One of the best slice of life type of light novel I've read so far. Even if I tend to read more...darker kind of stories.
    A recommended read!
    Update: author even managed to break the whole time loop system in a new innovative way. And frick I'm loving it!

    This is a fun slice of life story that follows a group of colourful characters as they get to know the co-inhabitants of their dungeon. It's well written and funny; the wolves are fluffy, the kobolds know how to party and the pizza has too much cheese. Really, there's no reason not to give it a go unless gripping descriptions of marble races increase your blood pressure to the point of decreasing life expectancy.

    I don't remember what caught my eye when I decided to start reading this. I don't usually bother with stories with such short chapters for reasons I can't properly explain. But this somehow still managed to catch my attention and then I realized I was 30 chapters in and planned to follow it to the end.
    There is a ton of actually serious stuff happening in this story, but the vast majority of what we learn is through the lens of a bastion of positivity and friendship who has less of a capacity for violence then most magical girls and with far less darkness in their backstory. So even as stakes are revealed the story remains fully light-hearted with a strangely cathartic ending for the lack of direct conflict. And heck, it even has a sequel instead of an epilogue!

    Only due to the 3rd entry am I giving this a lower rating than it possibly deserves, despite how desperately I want to rate it higher. The shift in character focus/environment detracted from the overall flow, the villains and surrounding cast weren't nearly as antagonistic as they first appear or arguably should have been, and the greater mystery falls a little flat on reveal....but... it's still very well written and does a bang-up job in multiple areas.
    First, as titled above, is masterful use of style. The author provides just enough information for the audience to paint their own mental picture while simultaneously using excellent character voice to not get bogged down by largely irrelevant details. Like, this story is technically a litrpg, so it should have meaningless stats galore, right? The main character cares so little about that, as one would expect in a diary entry of a delightful airhead, that the more detailed mechanics of it almost never come up. If you want to know how to combine a diary style with a high-wisdom/low-intellect character, look no further.
    Second, the characterization is quite authentic. The friend group feels so real, I wouldn't be surprised if they're based on real people, or better yet a real friend group. How they interact just make sense. It's quite hilarious because a lot of the time our unreliable narrator is vague and you have to make infrences, particularly by leveraging the other perspectives peppered throughout. Despite that the characters are still more realistic than some character studies I've seen. My favorite example for this is Lily and how everyone responds to her throughout.
    Third, it dissects the melodramatic tropes typically found in the genre. Either it points out how ridiculous some tropes are, specifically in ways that even our lovable airhead could understand is counterproductive or it cracks you over the head with them in flashes that don't overstay their welcome.
    So there's a lot to love here, great messaging
