Description

You know how it goes. She has many regrets. Almost 2 meters tall and has the body of a bodybuilder without going to the gym. Not respected as an engineer, and because of the hands of a boxer, she can’t fulfill her passion for building clocks and mechanical music boxes. She tries, but year by year, she slowly gives up. She gives up on the world, people, acquaintances, work, and finally life. She goes to sleep a few days before her 37th birthday and doesn't wake up. But she gets a second chance in a different world, full of magic, with a real female body, and only one task. Build a dungeon any way she want. So she decided to try one last time.

But her new world isn't peaceful at all.

Hello. English is not my native language, but we have autocorrect, so what can go wrong? But if you find some funny misspellings, share them in the comments for everyone. I try to publish one chapter per week.

I just recently found this story and while it's a little rough it shows promise.
You do have to keep in mind that the author isn't a native English speaker so you do occasionally find some awkward word choices or mistakes. However, they have also shown they are more than willing to learn and correct such errors if you can explain the problem to them, which is a very good sign. In fact, I feel they've already shown good signs of improvement between the first two or three chapters and the twentieth and I have hope for continued growth. Especially if someone with better English writing skills than I can provide occasional advice.
So while they do have continued room for improvement I'm going 5/5 stars both to recognize the hard work they are willing to put in to correct past errors and learn from the experience but also as encouragement for others to give the story a try flaws and all.
I've read a lot of dungeon stories and for a long time now have pretty much given up on them as I've felt like I'd seen it all. However, this one so far has been interesting enough that I'm glad I tried it, and am very curious to see how the steampunk part of the story will be implemented.

The mc starts with a very flawed personality considering the world she reincarnated in. It does offer a lot of space for "growth" but it is a growth comparable to a child slowly becoming a teenager.
There are some gramatical mistakes but nothing to the point of making you incapable of understanding the true meaning. It is quite easy to read. If you are not some grammar holy warrior that is.
There is quite a bit of "side stories" from the main themes of the genre and there is a danger it might actually become such a huge part of the story that it will become unreadable because of absolutely gracial story pacing. Some parts also seems to be unnecessarily detailed. Of course that does not mean some people do not enjoy that kind of story.
On the other hand some fundamental information about the world and the mc is for no discernable reason not mentioned at all.
