The Core Problem

Self-Published

Community Rating

Description

Izuku Midoriya was busy recovering from the aftermath of his battle with Overhaul when suddenly he found himself transported to another world... together with Tomura Shigaraki, the man who has tried to kill him and his friends multiple times and made destroying society itself one of his life goals.

Now they're forced to share a single body while managing a magical Dungeon (a giant death trap for adventurers), all at the behest of a definitely insane deity responsible for their appearance in this world. While constantly arguing and trying to make each other's life as miserable as possible. Oh, and their final mission is to kill a hero of all people (and only one of them is enjoying the prospect).

They have been isekai'd against their will and now they're going to make that everyone else's problem.

[Once we're done with the release backlog, this fic will be published weekly, usually on Fridays].

As someone who's been keeping up with Mirrond's works on ao3 for a while now I can confidently say that the story is absolutely worth giving a read. The worldbuilding is amazing and probably what I love the most about the story, the characters are fleshed out and it requires very little to no knowledge of MHA.

This is an interesting dungeon core story that has two minds in one core, a rarity in the genre, for fans of this type of story that may be enough to give it a read, but it has more than just that. Taking Midoriya Izuku and Tomura Shigaraki and isekaing them both into a dungeon core is going to be entertaining due to their personalities and as a plus knowledge of MHA is not necessary to enjoy this one, definitely would recommend giving this one a chance at least.

The hostility between Midoriya and Shigaraki is entertaining. And the story uses the point of view from characters who don't know about the Dungeon Core genre to explain the said genre to the readers. I'm looking forward to new chapters. And I'm also looking forward to more worldbuilding as what we've currently seen thus far is well written and impressive.

The concept is fun with great potential, and the writing so far is excellent. I'm excited to see how the dungeon expands and progresses, as well as the character interactions. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see more of the story as it unfolds. The way the narrative has been developed is engaging, and I look forward to the next stages of the adventure. The blend of plot and character dynamics is captivating. Wishing you all the best as you continue this fantastic journey. Have a great day!

This is truly, and completely a work of art as far as fiction goes, on par with amazing paperback books I've read, such as the Scythe Trilogy. Great characters, a funny yet charming dynamic between all of the characters, and great plot beads. I couldn't recommend this enough, but I may try. You've outdone yourself, good man... continue cooking and bring such authorship to an ascending high not even the gods could diminish.

So, jumping into this from a friend's recc, and I have to say that she's hit right on the money with this one. This is a magnificently written work, and even if the main group characters aren't original characters, Mirrond makes the characters and their personalities from the show work together well here. The dynamic of shiggy and Izuku is charming and funny, and the relationships to the other characters are solid as well. The story itself is also quite nice, with them being soul sucked into this fantasy dungeon, with their friends in the soul freezer for now.
Very cool, Mirrond... That's fucking epic.

Honestly read this already on Ao3 and I liked it sm, I got it recommended by my friend and I was not let down‼️ as someone who has left bnha fandom like 3 years ago, I wasn't so sure about reading a fic related to it again, but this was just epic

well, this is an interesting concept for a dungeon creator fic. 2 opposing forces, albeit clones of the original, stuck/Isekaied together to survive in a new world, where they could only interract in the dungeon they inhabit, under the whims of a malevolent god. at least they could summon their friends...
I can't wait to see more of this, especially the dynamic between Izuku and the 2 first girls.

Solid piece of fanfiction that has fun with the dungeon core format, and has a good time playing with some of the typical tropes.
The premise gives some good back and forth, and lays out plenty of information from the beginning, giving plenty to looks forward to, and no fear of poorly written Deus Ex Machina
