- kit13Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0It was a page turner for me. I finished all of it last night. The only problem with it really is that it doesn’t have enough chapters — kidding! The kingdom building is pretty nice. I’m really excited about some of the antagonists that have been foreshadowed to pop up in the future.
Overall, the story is pretty fun! - CloudWolf17Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I’m ashamed I haven’t written a review for this book yet, I’m truly a silly non-bee. This is one of those stories that I read as soon as a chapter drops. The posts are regular, the content is good, and the bees are flourishing. Give this book a shot if you want a lovely non-stressful dungeon progression book. You won’t regret it.
- Grandmasterassassin DoomRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Bees best bees, Belissar best dungeon master, Niobee needs to become a knight to defend King better and stab all who dare be mean to him. Truely a great story so far and I look forward to many more bees, and I love seeing my the fire bees in the hive of hives as red bees are my favorite type of bee. Though we need more bees in general as there are 30,00 different types, come on Belissar what are you doing? I thought you loved all bees! But I guees he is a silly nonbee working his hardest to be the best Queen I mean King in the hive.
- HalIowRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The concept of a bee themed dungeon core makes for an interesting concept. The characters are a delight too, I especially love the Queens and their POVs and their vastly different outlook on the world around them compared to that of the main character. I love how the main character has to sort of fumble his way around trying to figure out the system and slowly grow out of his peasant mindset.
- LickMYLiverRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I love the story so far and don't have any problems with it.
I like how the story is going in a slow-burn kinda style, yeah it's annoying but I'm just impatient :P, because it allows the characters to grow and interact with each other. It also allows the author to describe the world and its history which I also enjoy.
So overall, just a great story by a talented author. Be warned though, every title will have a bee pun... no matter what. - U N i C o r NRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Everything about this book is amazing. When I first saw this I thought it was dumb, but when I started reading I count stop and let’s say my daily average screen time is sky rocketing. The detail and storyline is just so amazing to me and I love the way the queen bees are the leader of their hive and how some hives concentrate on certain things that the other hives don’t. To put it plain and simple I LOVE IT!
- Zucriy_MyhkmaoRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I really the twist on dungeon management, its a nice change from the standard dungeon core and ive only read a few that have a dungeon lord like this tho none with this level of pun, the bee puns are awesome beelieve it , love the idiot MC trying his best for his buzzy friends, can't wait to read more :D
- Bardoksjf4Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0(written with translator)
I went in with low expectations because I thought everything was going to be calm and boring, but no! I was caught off guard by how epic and interesting the novel is.
Although I admit that at first the MC bothers me, I am gaining appreciation for him.
From the point of view of the bees everything seems more epic, it reminds me of Warhammer 40k but with adorable bees 🐝🤩.
Anyway for me final comment I would say that it is an incredible novel with MC somewhat annoying but it has its great moments and I like it more and the bees are very funny and adorable and great. - MaplanicRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Story: A good premise which takes a dungeon core story and focuses it on a non-humanoid monster.
Not only that but thus far it seems that the setting is also non-standard compared to most as it doesn't focus on adventurers delving dungeons for loot (though that may potentially change in the future considering how the system classifies "Adventurers" in the dungeon core menu)
Style: Not your standard Blue Box style system but instead follows the clear box format, which in my opinion puts the focus more on the story rather than the litrpg system enabling said story and thus far even those boxes seem to be dungeon related which seems to work for this story.
Grammar: I haven't noticed any issues and even went through the latest chapter to see if there were any comments suggesting fixes for grammar though this review is being posted a day after it was posted so who knows.
Characters: Okay important thing to address first as i read some of the other reviews that were posted before mine and the two negative reviews have one thing in common, they don't like how much MC laments his situation but to put it into perspective.
He is a 16 year old orphan who was raised by the one who taught him his prior profession and also died before the beginning of the story, I will explain further later on but that will include minor spoilers but my point is that while is a little annoying it is both realistic given his upbringing, social status, education and current situation and honestly kind of warranted especially considering he still gets on with it and gets stuff done.
Personally i like how it's written and the flow of the story so far and would recommend it to others.
Spoiler Warning for the First Couple of chapters here but it's important for context about my further character explanation
Ok where was I, 16 year old, friendless orphan who's only other human companion was his also dead before chapter 1 beekeeper mentor.
From there our story continues with him almost dying and becoming - MendicantRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Especially given the obvious gimmick. And yet, it's the character interaction surprisingly that keeps me coming back just as much as the fun of seeing small constant changes to the flavour of the Tower snowball into bigger things.
A fun read, with just enough unpredictability that doesn't fizzle to keep you going.
