  I very much enjoy this story. The author manages to breath new life into a genre that was dying for me. All his characters are interesting even when you can’t understand them, a trait very few authors can claim to possess. The spelling and grammar are great, I haven’t noticed any mistakes up to this point. I look forward to seeing how this continues. I hope this has helped any potential reader to pick it up.

  It's difficult for me to think of much besides that I enjoyed it. Yes, it's a dungeon story with 'level-ups'. If that's what you like, then you'll like this. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you feel about it, the story focuses on things that are unusual for a story of this genre.
  Monsters exist, and we talk about them, but they aren't really seen.
  Levels exist, and we talk about them, but they don't really factor.
  Also it is the first of a series, so any and all complaints of what is or isn't there is kind of moot. You wouldn't fault Rowling for not mentioning Horcruxes in the Philosopher's Stone.
  So in short? The book is fun, and if you have complaints about it you're wrong. And so's your face. There.

  I like this more than most 'reborn as a dungeon' serials because this one actually has an interest in adventurers doing the dungeon and describing them doing it in a realistic and fun way. Most other dungeon serials seem to get bogged down in the most inane crap and lose focus on what a dungeon is.
  More lizard woman taking it really seriously type stuff pls.

  This is a wonderful concept, and I am so glad I found this. Just a few spelling and/or grammer errors, capitalizing and commas mostly. Keep it up!

  As with most stories on rd slow improvements as the story progresses with plot, prose, and grammar. Worth the read!

  Good story, entertaining and thought provoking. It deals nicely with one of the issues I've always felt with reincarnation/dungeon stories, one minute your a person, the next a murder machine! How's that even possible? Like the Gods too. Thanks for writing it

  I have read this in a binge read and I got to say while the MC is sorta overpowered and I hate overpowered characters this was quite okay with me, since this is a dungeon core MC and that makes a difference in my opinion. Basically the MC is asked by various gods to go around the world and make intresting challanges that each race needs to over come to get better and better rewards. I have truly enjoyed this series thus far and hope to continue to enjoy it and would feel great sadness if this discontinues I hope that the author does not do this and if he needs a holiday to come back to this series.
  Thank you for reading this post and please people read this series if your a dungeon fan

  Ihave read what is avilable so far (CH 15) and I like the concept. It will be interesting to see where it goes.
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  I especially love the Doctor Who aspect of the dungeon and how that has been integrated in as a core concept.

  I've read all of book 1 and half of book 2.  So basically the dungeon has two components to it, overly easy challenges that offer large prizes for what basically amounts to a game of hopscotch.  And the dungeon's serious death maze which can kill high tier enemies on it's first attempt.  Finally the plot mainly revolves around the protagonist watching alien cultures like he's watching a soap opera and every 30 days, he changes the channel.
  Note I had to delay writing a review for this because Amazon won't let me write a review for some reason despite me owning and reading the books....  So a few of the details are foggy in my memory.
  Honestly, dungeon fictions get off too easy on this site.  People want them, but no one's really made a good one yet so the bar is set to rock bottom.  I've read too many of them trying to find one I actually like, so I may be a bit harsher than others would think it deserves.
  In the former, each challenge is ranked from low tier to high tier.  The low tier tests the absolute minimum level of a stat like agility.  Agility's challenge is basically jump across the platforms.  These get harder at higher levels, but almost no one actually attempts anything but the weakest challenges.  I gave up in the second book reading about these dog people who seemed to be completely ignoring all the challenges.
  The expectation from the author seems to be more focused on exploring unique cultures since the dungeon can spy on the cities of all these towns he's visiting with his dungeon.  Honestly, this element just doesnt work since there's no real plot development in it.  It's more like the author is saying "hey, look at this cool culture I made up.  It's got dog people and they get attacked by monster waves and they got really cool pit traps to fight them off." Honestly, I don't care about your made up cultures.  I'm here to read cool plots and well developed characters.
  For the second "serious death maze" parts are where the storyline actually happens
