Description

A dungeon core gets placed in an unreachable location and ends up making a deal with the system that governs the whole universe she has landed herself into. In all the light novels she read before she died no one had ever done that before. That has to mean good things for her right? She sure hopes it doesn't make things worst at least.

The second main character get's introduced in chapter six.

Dungeon building until chapter thirteen.

Second character lands in the dungeon in chapter twenty.

First time posting one of the stories I've written. I've always wanted to write books. I am writing this on my kindle so if you see any mistakes please forgive me. I will try to post on Mondays and Thursdays. Thanks for giving me a shot. Please if you leave a review don't be a jerk. Please and thank you. Don't post this story somewhere else. The photo is an AI rendering of Katherine.

    It is a pretty standard dungeon story. It takes a while for any real action to start. Before that is just cozy relaxing dungeon building.
    The secondary character, Katherine, seems to have some kind of grand destiny ahead of her, which may or may not involve bloody revenge against those who wronged her. I hope it does. I am looking forward to seeing how that unfolds.
    The author clearly does NOT have an obsession with foxes. I do not know what would possibly give you that idea.
    It is a nice story that is absolutely worth your time.

    I'll start by saying that I don't think this is a bad story, I just think the title does not reflect what the story is about.
    What I got from the title it's that it was going to be a dungeon story with a system that is more involved than simply giving the status or numbers, a system with maybe some personality or goal that was going to be important for the plot.
    This is not that, this is a relaxed dungeon with many foxes and a fox girl co-protagonist enjoying life in the dungeon with occasional threats that are handled by the dungeon, with a much more slice of life feel to it.
    I think a title more apt would be "The Fox Dungeon" or something of that style. So, do I think it's bad? No. But if you are looking for a dungeon filled with monsters and dangerous traps that challenges delvers to their limit, or a deadly hole in the ground that does it's best to kill all that enter its dephs, then this is probably not for you.

    Overall the story is fun. The characters are fairly simple, could do with a little more depth. It is still early days for the story, so it is possible that depth will grow with the stories. I rather like the descriptions of building a dungeon levels. I think more focus might be placed on the how of dungeon magic. Now that we have a del er we might get more of a. Comparison of now the dungeon magic is similar or different from non-dungeon magic. O stall I recommend the read. It is fun and simp!e story that lokks to be growing in complexity

    To be honest, I think System Sponsored Dungeon needs a major reboot.  There are a lot of good ideas here, and the individual chapters are strong, but as a whole  . . .the story's problems ultimately pull everything down into kind of a grey mush.
    Set in the middle of an arctic wasteland, the core of the Fox Paradise Dungeon has the time and opportunity to build her dungeon right.  A very benevolent and loving core, watching her build her initial floors is both heartwarming and relaxing. No pesky adventurers to threaten her creations, and her experiments yield some interesting twists on standard dungeon monsters. As a result, the opening chapters will definitely appeal to slice-of-life fans who want to see a core shower love on her creations.
    Unfortunately, that leads to the first problem. After the first big fight, the loss of some of her charges  throws the core into a deeply depressed funk that she never really throws off. A lot of very promising ideas, including a multi-floor battle between her goblins and kobolds, happen almost entirely offscreen.  The core just can't bring herself to care enough to pay attention, so the reader misses out on . . .probably a book's worth of material.
    Another interesting idea is the "clientele" of the dungeon.  Rather than attract adventurers and treasure hunters seeking to plumb the depths, the dungeon's patron deity opts to use her as a long term shelter for the abused.   A compassionate core, building idyllic floors, is definitely a good choice for such a role - and the isolation initially looks like it will help. The Fox Paradise Dungeon is so remote, it makes Antarctica look well-trafficked, after all.
    So there should be plenty of time to let her guests recover.  And having someone to care for again might even help the core itself shake off the PTSD from its first battle.
    However, the extreme isolation causes its own problems. Most the author is able to work around - but not all.
    Simply put, short of divine intervention, or a
